Chapter 4

Because of the bag incident, he was angry and didn’t come home for several days.

It wasn't until Grandpa Sterling arrived with his six other grandsons that Leo finally panicked.

He moved back that very night.

That night, Amber Thorne suddenly called, crying uncontrollably.

“Leo, please, beg Ms. Blackwood for me. Tell her not to make things difficult for me.”

“I really can’t keep going…”

Leo quickly comforted her.

“What happened? What did she do to you?!”

“Leo, now all the companies are refusing to hire me. Ms. Blackwood must have put in a word.”

“Please, beg Ms. Blackwood to let me go. I’m just an ant; I have no right to contend with her.”

Leo’s brow furrowed. He turned and glared at me.

“Don’t be scared, no one will bully you when I’m here!”

After hanging up, he grabbed my collar, his eyes bloodshot.

“Aren’t you going too far? Do you have to push Amber to the brink?!”

“She’s just a young girl trying to make her way in the world, hardworking and ambitious.”

“Don’t think that just because you have a few stinking dollars, you can treat others as nothing!”

I pushed his hand away and looked at him calmly.

“Leo Sterling, this is the second time. Three strikes, and you’re out. Do you know the consequences if there’s a third?”

“I didn’t do those things, nor would I stoop so low. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

He glowered at me, then slammed the door shut and left.

He only left one sentence: “I must have been blind to marry you.”

My heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a pair of large hands, tearing me apart.

The person I once cherished as my most precious possession now looked at me with such disgust.

I, Aurora Blackwood, always so proud, had actually come to this.

Leo ignored Grandpa Sterling’s pressure and openly brought Amber Thorne to various events.

In the blink of an eye, Amber became a rising star in our social circle.

Everyone tacitly accepted their relationship.

Leo not only didn't clarify, but he also took Amber to play golf every week and spent hours alone with her in the private lounge.

It was even rumored that he replaced our wedding photo on his office desk with a picture of him and Amber.

Good. Very good.

The man who swore to be devoted to me had completely died.

Since he was the first to violate our contract, he couldn’t blame me for being merciless.

Leo Sterling, betraying me deserves a price!

I had my lawyer draft the divorce papers and personally delivered them to Sterling Enterprises.

Pushing open the CEO’s office door, I found Leo leaning over, guiding Amber Thorne through document revisions, their faces almost touching.
