I dated Chen An for two years, but just half a year after our wedding, he sent me to the underworld. On that day, my childhood friend Li Zimu happened to be in the car with me. The brakes failed, and he held me tightly in his arms to protect me. He died on the spot, while I fell into a coma. In the hospital room, I watched helplessly as my closest friend poisoned the IV drip. I was powerless to stop it, quietly waiting for death to arrive.
Chapter 1
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day of the marriage discussion, facing Henrik Holland's parents, who were only interested in their benefits, and Neil Morley, who wore a cold expression throughout.
I didn't know why Neil insisted on coming with me when I was discussing marriage in my previous life.
Now, I knew the reason.
"The housing prices are so high recently, Violet, don't you have a house? Once we're all family, we can just live together. When you have kids, I can help take care of them. The price of gold is so high now, let's not buy the full set of gold jewelry, just the essentials. Save the money to make your wedding more extravagant, so everyone can be impressed." Henrik's mother said, seeing my lack of response, she became even more brazen.
The reason why she wanted to hold a lavish wedding was to let others know that her son had married the boss of a listed company.
They only bought me basic jewelry because I wouldn't be wearing it at these weddings and no one else would see it.
I was still basking in the joy of being reborn when I heard Henrik's mother say these things. I lowered my head and chuckled softly.
She thought I agreed with her and smiled smugly.
She thought I loved her son very much.
"Let's set the wedding date for the second day of next month."
I was about to mock her when Neil spoke first. "Even though Violet's parents have passed away, she still has me. Aren't you being disrespectful?"
Considering my dignity, Neil spoke with much restraint.
"Who do you think..."
Henrik's mother was about to speak, but was stopped by Henrik.
"Mr. Morley, you're taking this too seriously. My mother didn't mean any disrespect to Violet. Marriage is a big deal and should be discussed thoroughly, otherwise, our families wouldn't be here, right? Violet, what do you think?"
I had to say that Henrik was eloquent, and he immediately put all the focus on me.
If it were before, I might have agreed hastily.
But now...
"Henrik, let me ask you, have you ever betrayed me?" I suddenly asked, catching a flicker of panic in Henrik's eyes.
"Violet, what do you mean by that?"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I choked out, "You know exactly what I mean. I won't spell it out today to save you some dignity, but this marriage discussion ends here."
Sensing the tension between us, Henrik's mother quickly stood up and moved to the empty chair beside me, trying to pat my hand affectionately.
I placed my hand on the table instead.
Henrik's mother smiled awkwardly and withdrew her hand that was suspended in the air.
"Violet, you and Henrik can discuss this at home. We've come all this way, and we can't leave without resolving anything."
I clenched my fists and looked at Henrik, asking, "Henrik, do you want me to say it in front of your parents?"
I didn't have any evidence yet, I just wanted to test him.
As expected, Henrik was scared, regardless of what I might say.
My emotions were a little out of control, and Neil quickly stood up and protected me behind him.
Looking at Neil's tall figure, I realized that since my parents passed away, he had always been by my side. "Since Violet hasn't made up her mind, please leave for now."
Henrik took his mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, let's go home today. I'll discuss the marriage with Violet another day."
But Henrik's mother wasn't easy to persuade. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Neil with disdain. "Are you calling off the wedding because of this despicable man?"
Neil's veins bulged with anger, and just as he was about to act, I picked up my phone and called Neil's assistant.
"Arnold, please call security up here."
"Alright."
In no time, Arnold arrived with two security guards.
Henrik looked at me with a hurt expression. "Violet, what's wrong? Are you kicking me out?"
"Not only am I kicking you out, but you shouldn't come to the office tomorrow either." Without waiting for him to say anything more, I nodded to signal Arnold to take him away.
Watching Henrik's retreating figure, I let out a cold smile.
This was just the beginning.
