While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her
As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.In the Phoenix City.
After spending half an hour in the AY Jewelry Store, Sherry Xu finally decided to buy a necklace the shop assistant had suggested.
However, before she could give her bank card to the shop assistant, an arrogant female voice came from behind her.
"This necklace doesn't look very striking. However, it's unexpectedly a limited edition... I'll take it then!"
The woman's voice was sweet and feminine, but it had an arrogant tone to it that was enough to make anyone feel annoyed.
The woman walked over to the shop assistant, her high heels clacking on the marble floor, and stood beside Sherry Xu. The smell of her perfume gently wafted into the air.
Hearing this, Sherry Xu was stunned for a moment, and wrinkled her nose with distaste. Without casting a mere glance at the woman, Sherry Xu handed her credit card to the shop assistant. "Wrap this up, please," she said.
"A woman like you doesn't need a necklace like that,"
the woman beside her sneered. This time, her voice was even more offensive and discriminating. Before Sherry Xu had time to react, the woman rudely pushed her aside with her hip.
It was not until then that Sherry Xu looked at the woman's direction. At one glance, she instantly recognized who that woman was -- Jessie Liang.
What a small world!
"Can you take back your credit card? I still have other urgent matters awaiting me," Jessie Liang scoffed. Sherry Xu's other hand balled up into a fist at her side as she glared angrily at Jessie Liang. 'There was no way this woman could be serious!' Meanwhile, the shop assistant looked at the two women, unsure whether or not she should take Sherry Xu's credit card.
Seeing that Sherry Xu did not move a muscle, Jessie Liang looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said?" she said arrogantly.
Having no patience for Sherry Xu's stubbornness, Jessie Liang raised her hand to hit the back of Sherry Xu's hand.
The slap was so hard that Sherry Xu's hand immediately turned red. It didn't help at all that Sherry Xu's skin was quite fair, making the slap mark even more highly noticeable.
The way Sherry Xu looked shocked made Jessie Liang feel even more dominant and cocky. "I'm telling you. Don't try and challenge my patience. Otherwise..."
Jessie Liang then turned around and gave a hard look at the shop assistant. It was obvious that the shop assistant was terrified of her, and didn't want to get on her bad side.
"In case you don't know yet, my husband is rich! He can buy this entire jewelry store without blinking an eye, let alone these two measly limited editions!"
Her words were like a threat. A smile crept up her face as she saw the shop assistant draw back her hand from taking Sherry Xu's card.
With a sigh, Sherry Xu looked helplessly at the frightened shop assistant. 'Poor girl... She was only trying to do her job, ' Sherry Xu thought. Then, she looked down her hand that Jessie Liang had slapped and frowned. It was as red as a tomato now.
'Do I really look so weak to be pushed around like this?'
At a moment of courage, Sherry Xu raised her head and was about to confront Jessie Liang. When all of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice. "What happened?"
Looking back, Sherry Xu was stunned. 'It's... Jeremy. I never thought I'd ever see him here.
He has always treated me like a stranger and now he's--'
