Leaving the Scumbag, Gaining A Billion

Walking along the road to the bridge by the river, the rustling river breeze made Lidia's skirt flutter.

With so many guests at the engagement party, why did it have to be Jeffry who saw them off?

She had long stopped caring about her indifferent parents. From a young age, Jeffry had been her whole world—her anchor, her guiding light.

But that time, watching him like this, that light seemed to flicker, growing just a little dimmer.

It was difficult to get a taxi without her mobile phone, so she walked aimlessly on the streets for several hours in her seven-centimeter-high stilettos.

Her heels were rubbed to a bloody mess and her toes were covered in blisters as she arrived at the downstairs of her new villa.

Lidia used the spare key placed at the door to open the door of the villa. 

But as she turned on the light, she saw the leather shoes and high heels placed at the entrance.

The shoes were placed randomly, as if they had only stayed there for a moment before they walked inside eagerly.

The whole villa was dim, so she did not intend to turn on the overall lights. 

Lidia just directly took off her blood-stained white rhinestone high heels and walked upstairs gently, lifting her skirt.

As she approached the door of her new bedroom, she heard the voices of a man and a woman talking.

“Jeffry, isn’t it exciting to have sex with me in this new bedroom after leaving my sister behind?”

“Did it satisfy you so much, little liar? How could you dare to pretend to faint at the banquet just to flirt with me? Tell me, you have been thinking about these things since the first, right?

Through the open door, Lidia saw with her own eyes that her fiancé, who was supposed to be in the hospital and her step-sister were having sex in bed.

She opened her eyes wide and watched intently as the two of them had sex in various positions.

Lidia tasted the saltiness in her mouth and realized that it was her tears dripping down and sliding into her mouth.

It tasted very salty and bitter.

Through their conversation, she realized that the engagement party was not the first time they met.

Unbeknownst to her, Jeffry fell in love at first sight with Pamela, who was born in a slum.

The two became addicted after sleeping together and began a three-year entanglement.

He stayed with Pamela every day and night when he was on a business trip.

The gifts he brought back from his business trip were the ones Pamela picked out but did not want anymore.

Even when he was with her, he would find time to call Pamela to coax her.

Jeffry chose to marry her simply because they were a good match.

But that time, since Pamela's identity had been revealed, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Lidia thought she and Jeffry would be sweet and happy forever. But it turned out, it was just the best choice after he weighed the pros and cons.

Lidia pinched her palm hard and refused to let go until the pain and numbness became hers.

Jeffry's unconditional protection of Pamela was more painful than the slap in the face at the engagement party that day.

More than ten years of relationship and six years of romance were shattered by that slap.

Her heart was filled with intense pain and her mind told her that she had to give up this man.

But marrying Jeffry was her goal since childhood and she fantasized about having an extremely romantic wedding with him.

Lidia had looked forward to that day in her dreams countless times and made a lot of efforts for it. She did not want all her efforts to be for the benefit of others.

But the groans of the two made her heart surge with pain. The time she wiped away her tears, she made up her mind to give up the man she had loved for more than ten years.

Jeffry had already been guilty and she would never forgive him again.

With this engagement, Lidia decided to put an end to their relationship and made a break with everyone in the family.

She leaned against the door and looked down at the message on her phone.

[Your biological parents are overseas nobles with assets worth tens of billions. You are their sole heir. As long as you return, their entire fortune will be yours. Here are their phone numbers and photos. Contact me whenever you’ve made your decision.]

Some time ago, she had been receiving messages from overseas numbers. She thought it was a scam and never believed it.

But what her parents said that day, as well as the photos they sent her, made her waver.

It was a photo of a couple in front of a castle and she looked somewhat like both of them.

Her birth information was also attached. So, she believed they were her biological parents.

Her fingertips gently stroked their cheeks and her heart ached.

The cheating was done in the room and the two of them were leaning against the head of the bed and chatting.

“Pamela, now that you are the daughter of the Lester Family, do you want to marry me? The Lester Family and the Hopkins Family are willing to hold another engagement party for you.”

Even if she had decided to give up on Jeffry, but after hearing these words of betrayal with her own ears, Lidia's heart still ached so bad.

Even the bitterness rushed to her throat and the tears that had just stopped flowed out again.

She looked inside and saw Pamela lying coquettishly in Jeffry's arms, looking up and talking to him.

“Humph, still dare ask me? I was so angry today when I saw you two holding your engagement party, you know.”

She turned over angrily.

“I deliberately let my parents reveal my identity at the engagement party just to disrupt your engagement party. So, I don’t care about whether you will marry me or not.”

Jeffry reached out and grabbed her body, holding her tightly in his arms and gave her a barrage of kisses behind her ears.

“Little liar.”

Pamela's body softened after being kissed.

"Jeffry, I always knew my past status wasn’t worthy of you, so I never dared to dream of marrying you. But I also knew you loved me—just as I love you.

“I never imagined I would become a Lester, nor did I ever expect a day when we would stand as equals."

Pamela tightened her grip on his hand, her voice soft yet resolute. "But you and Lidia have been together for years. If you break off the engagement because of me, it will undoubtedly tarnish both families' reputations."

She lifted her gaze to him, eyes unwavering. "Honestly, I don’t care about status. As long as we can be together, that’s enough for me. And right now, at this moment, I’m content—even if it’s like this."

Hearing the girl's affectionate confession, Lidia's heart felt like it was being torn apart.

The deep affection between the two was so deep and loyal that she, the legal fiancée, seemed like a mistress.

Jeffry hugged Pamela tightly with heartache as he said, “Pamela, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I promise!”

He kissed her lips devoutly, solemnly and seriously after that.

Lidia kept watching until her eyes became sore, her lips were bitten by her and the taste of blood spread in her mouth.

Jeffry treated her very well, but three years ago, he became particularly perfunctory in his intimacy with her.

If she offered him a kiss, he would turn his head away indifferently without responding.

Even when they were entangled in love in bed, he would not take the initiative to kiss her.

The details that were deliberately ignored were completely clear at this moment.

It turned out that he did not love her anymore.

In the blurred vision, the two of them entangled again on her new bed and the moans were endless.

Lidia clenched her palms tightly. No matter how painful it was, it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart, until she could hardly breathe.

The bedroom that belonged exclusively to them had been entered by the hands of a third party at that moment.
