Even after knowing the truth, I thought maybe, after all these years, she'd have grown some real feelings for me. But I never expected that she'd just keep hurting me again and again.

This time, I was ready to let go completely. I looked at the divorce agreement my lawyer had just sent me. Tomorrow, I'll hand it to Lilian.

Actually, I owned a villa in Newcastle, it was gift from my dad when I became an adult.

I drove there in the middle of the night. But I didn't expect to run into my old high school rival, Suzanne Cole, in the villa neighborhood.

Back in high school, she was always ranked first in exams while I was second. Every time we met, we never had a pleasant word for each other. She had gone abroad after graduation.

I didn't expect that Suzanne now lived right across from my villa. I was a bit surprised, "You live here too? Weren't you overseas? Why are you back?"

Suzanne was momentarily stunned by my question, "I just got back recently. Thought the neighborhood looked nice, so I bought the place. Didn't expect we'd be neighbors. Since we're old classmates, let's keep in touch."

She handed me a business card. I looked at it, CEO of Smitheagle PharmaTech.

So many years had passed, but Suzanne was still as impressive as ever. I kept the card and smiled at her, "Yeah, let's keep in touch."

Thinking back to the old days with Suzanne, I couldn't help but find it all amusing now. My smile softened without me realizing it.

The next day, I arrived at the hospital. But the moment I stepped into my office, I was shocked to see Barry sitting in my chair.

He looked at the wound on my forehead and smirked provocatively, "Rough night on the streets after Lilian kicked you out, huh? That injury on your head, man, you look pathetic."

He laughed and pulled out a box from his bag, "Lilian and I saw this on our trip, thought it'd be the perfect gift for you. Have a look, see if you like it."

I opened the box and saw … an ugly green shirt. I clenched the shirt, staring daggers at him.

But Barry just looked even more smug. He picked up the shirt from my hand and leaned in closer, mocking me, "This green shirt suits you perfectly. Even if Lilian knows I faked the cancer, so what? She's still gonna have my baby. She'll do whatever I tell her. She's more obedient than any dog. This hospital's profits will all be mine. She's mine to control, just like you."
