Chapter 1

To vent his new girlfriend's anger, Jack called me to a bar to drink an entire bottle of vodka.

He said if I didn't drink, he'd break off our engagement.

Jack and I had been together for twelve years. He was certain I couldn't leave him.

I picked up the bottle, then poured the entire bottle of vodka over his head:

"Jack, times have changed. You need to wake up and face reality."

"Tell Lily! Tell her! If she doesn't come, she'll never be welcome in my family again!" Jack was clearly drunk, his voice unbearably loud.

"Jack, Jack! Stop drinking. Don't make your fiancée angry for real!" his friends urged.

I wasn't angry. I'd experienced this kind of thing too many times. At first, it hurt, but now I felt nothing.

When I arrived, a scantily-clad, curvaceous girl was sitting on Jack's lap.

Seeing me, Jack squinted for a moment, then broke into a grin. "Come here, Lily. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend."

The girl was quite bold. She extended her hand to me, "Nice to meet you, sis. I'm Jack's new girlfriend."

I was utterly tired of these boring charades. "Jack, if you have nothing else, I'll be leaving. I'm very busy. You and your girlfriend enjoy yourselves."

The girl grabbed my arm, but I walked away forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Baby, I'm fine. It's my fault for upsetting her. Don't blame her," Emily's voice as she fell sobered Jack up. He hurriedly helped Emily up.

Then he looked at me and slammed a bottle on the table. "One bottle of Grey Goose. Drink it all, then apologize to Emily. Otherwise, you'll never set foot in my family's house again."

Emily, enjoying the drama, gently shook Jack's arm. "Baby, don't do this to her. How can she handle drinking so much?"

Jack snorted, "She can handle anything. She always has."

I called out to the door, "Please."

The driver walked in with a large suitcase. I opened it, and suddenly the room was filled with glittering jewels and luxuries.

These were all the gifts Jack's family had given me since I met him.

"Jack, please check. I think since we're breaking up, these things should be returned."

Jack was caught off guard by my action.

"Lily, think carefully. Once you return these things, it won't be easy to get them back."

"That's exactly what I want."

We often had scenes like this, but usually, it started with Jack humiliating me and ended with me giving in.

Whether it was drinking, apologizing to his new girlfriends, or singing and dancing, I always complied.

So today's situation was something Jack and his friends had never seen before.

Everyone started to persuade him, "Jack, that's enough. Your fiancée has been accommodating enough."

But Jack's temper was well-known. Without persuasion, he might have let it go, but the more people tried to stop him, the more stubborn he became.

Jack looked straight into my eyes, "I don't care if you're really angry or just trying to manipulate me, Lily. I'll tell you one last time. Drink and apologize, or you'll never be welcome in my family again."

Emily added fuel to the fire, "Now that Lily is the CEO, things are different. Jack, you can't talk to Miss CEO like that anymore."

Jack snorted disdainfully, "Without me, what are you, Lily?"

I laughed coldly, then poured the entire bottle of vodka over Jack's head:

"Jack, times have changed. You need to wake up."
