Chapter 29


    Chapter 29


    Seeing Maria look heartbroken reminded me of the past when I used to be jealous of her and went mad


    with jealousy.


    It was because Nichs gave all of his tenderness to her.


    At that time, I didn''t know that the man I had talked to nine years ago was a different man from the one


    I metter. I ced all of mymitment on Nichs and humbly thought that even if there was no


    love in the marriage, there would still be mutual respect.


    I thought he would care for me like a qualified husband.


    Thinking of my crush over the years, I felt highly ironic at this moment. I squatted down and asked,


    "What are you trying to tell me?"

    I stood on the steps and squatted down. My eyes were on the same level as Maria''s but for some


    reason, she took a step back.


    I smiled in confusion and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"


    She closed her eyes and said, "You are dazzling."


    "Huh? This is not something that you should tell your rival."


    Maria was a woman whom Nichs loved, so it made sense that she was pretty, had a fantastic figure,


    and had a good fashion sense.


    At this moment, Maria was wearing a moon-white dress, which made her look innocent and harmless


    while masking her evil doings in the past.


    However, I was still way prettier than her.


    I was not exaggerating. My face and body were the best, so I could quickly catch everyone''s attention


    in public.


    Taking advantage of my beauty, I was like a duck to water in the business world before I married. My


    family only went into recession after I married Nichs.


    It was because Nichs privately targeted the Felix Family.


    Despite that, the Felix Family was still a big enterprise. Otherwise, Chairman Forger wouldn''t always


    urge Nichs and me to remarry.


    He wanted to own the Felix Family, which was enough to make the Forger Family look down on his


    peers if he seeded.


    "I''m serious; you’re dazzling."


    Maria was holding an exquisite flower umbre. The raindrops fell on her umbre, then onto the


    courtyard.


    I pursed my lips as I smiled and didn''t respond to her words. Maria lowered her eyes and said, "Renee,


    when you appeared in Nichs'' world three years ago, I instantly knew I would lose to you. It is


    because you are dazzling. It was an unfair union for you as the Forger Family was way weaker than the


    Felix Family. However, you still agreed to the marriage. Your character and statusplement each


    other, and no one will achieve this perfection."


    I asked impatiently, "So, you met me today just to praise me? If that''s the case, you can leave now."


    Maria said anxiously, "You''re perfect, but you can''t get what you wish for. You don''t even have a healthy


    body."


    I slowly stood up and looked at her coldly, thereafter reminding her, "Another word and I''ll never let you


    go."


    "You will send me out of Bryxton?" Maria asked.


    I stayed silent. She smiled and said, "That''s fine to me. Nichs will never marry me again, so it


    doesn''t make a difference to me if I leave Bryxton."


    I never said I was going to send her away.


    She had an excellent imagination.


    Maria''s positive attitude disgusted me. I frowned impatiently and heard her say reluctantly, "I must


    admit that Nichs loves you. Hence, I am willing to stop fighting with you for his affection."


    "Are you mad?" I asked in surprise.


    Although she left Bryxton under my pressure three years ago, the Maria I knew was not a woman who


    would give up easily. Otherwise, she would never return to Bryxton three yearster.


    I gazed at the night sky in the distance and didn''t speak. Ultimately, I felt disdain for her and didn''t


    bother to argue with her.


    Her expression was getting dark when I didn''t reply to her. She hesitated and said, "He really loves


    you."


    I asked directly, "I do not believe you are stepping back without an ulterior motive. You must be trying to


    act weak before me, then you''ll tell Nichs that I never give you respect. You''ll pretend to be a weak


    person that easily gets bullied, so you can gain empathy from others."


    Maria was getting furious, "You little—"


    Her face was ashen under the rainy night. I sneered and said, "You can never take a hint. If you do,


    ir would never insult you before everyone a few months ago."


    I paused and corrected myself, "Wait, I was wrong. You were taking advantage of Nichs! Now that


    he doesn''t want to marry you, you humbly came to me. You are easy to read, you know? Let me guess,


    you hired someone to hide nearby and record our confrontation. It was amon trope in a drama


    show. You are trying to act like a weak person to provoke me to hurt you, then you will post it on the


    Inte."


    Maria thought that I was an open book.


    An ignorant book, at that.


    A book for her to bully.


    However, I was a vengeful person.


    Maria''s face was flushed with anger and she looked as if her n was exposed. Then, she loosened


    her lips to insult me. "Renee, don''t be foolish! Nichs will never love a dying woman like you! Not


    even Christopher will love you. You will always be a foolish woman that no one will love!"


    I walked down the steps in astonishment, thereafter grabbing her wrist and asking, "How do you know I


    love Christopher? Who told you that?"


    Maria stared at me pitifully. She suddenly let go of the umbre in her hand, so we were exposed to the


    heavy rain. We were instantly soaked and looked pathetic.


    However, I didn''t care about it. I just wanted to know how she knew that I love Christopher. Even


    Nichs only knew about this after I returned to Bryxton. Who leaked the secret?


    Maria kept struggling under my grip. I didn’t use much strength to hold her, and she didn''t try to break


    free. I knew that she was acting and plotting against me.


    However, I didn''t care about those dirty tricks.


    "Thewyer tried to let Nichs y the piano for you at your funeral. However, Nichs doesn''t know


    how to y the piano."


    Maria smiled grimly and continued, "Christopher is the one who ys the piano, not Nichs. They are


    twins, and you fell in love with the wrong twin from the start. You stole my man!"


    I let go of Maria in a daze, and she immediately fell to the ground crying. However, I ignored her and


    turned back to the room.


    With trembling hands, I took the cell phone and texted May. ''Who else knows that I mistook Nichs as


    Christopher?''


    It was supposed to be my secret.


    How did everyone know about it?


    May then sent me a text message to exin. ''Ree, the one who yed the piano at your funeral was


    Christopher. The rest of the guests won''t, but those who know Nichs would know about your secret.


    Thewyer read your will in front of all the attendees, so Chairman Forger and Maria must know about


    it. I was confused at the time because I stood next to Christopher and heard him say something.''


    I messaged and asked, ''What did he say?''


    ''Well, the little girl actually loves me.''
