Not far away, a crowd had gathered around Quinn, who was beaming with joy as she showed off a ring on her hand.
"I just casually mentioned 'a diamond lasts forever’ and Juno bought me such a big diamond ring!"
The diamond sparkled brilliantly under the light, piercing Sasha’s heart.
After being with Quinn, Juno had showered her with sweet words and tirelessly held and kissed her every day, yet he had hardly ever given her any gifts.
There was only one time. After she spent two years' worth of savings to buy him a pair of cufflinks, he was moved and gave her a small silver ring in return.
"Gifts aren’t about their value but the thought behind them. Besides, there are too many people around at the factory; there’s no need to wear anything fancy. The thought is what counts," Juno had said at the time.
Sasha had seen countless treasures growing up, but that light, inexpensive silver ring was her favorite gift she had ever received—simply because it was from Juno.
But now, Juno was dotingly telling Quinn, “So what if it’s expensive? Just wear it without worry. I’ll keep you safe. Quinn, you deserve the best!”
Sasha bit her lip, a sharp pain piercing her heart.
Her parents used to say, “Love follows where the money goes,” and she had dismissed it as shallow. Now, she finally understood. Juno thought the same.
He didn’t love her. That’s why he believed she wasn’t worthy of nice things and gave all the best to Quinn.
Sasha didn’t want to watch any longer. She turned to leave, only to see a man holding a glass of wine stumbling toward her.
Even though she had dodged in time, the man seemed to do it on purpose, spilling a full glass of red wine onto her chest.
The fabric of her dress was very thin and when it got wet, it clung to her body, revealing her curves and faintly showing some skin.
Sasha only staggered back a little, not making a big movement, but the hem of the dress she was wearing suddenly split open.
Her white thighs, along with her underwear, were exposed.
Sasha tried to cover herself with her hands, but if she covered her chest, she couldn't cover her lower body, making her extremely embarrassed.
Not far away, the man was exchanging malicious glances with Quinn.
Sasha immediately understood. The dress had been tampered with and the man had colluded with Quinn.
Their plan was clear. They wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone.
“How did you end up like this?”
