    With that, Ethan picked Reba up into his arms and walked toward the Lamborghini.


    When his car sped into the distance, leaving her behind for the second time, Catherine truly lost all


    hope in this man.


    Starting from this moment, any love she felt for him before was reced by hatred and despise.


    “Oh, you poor thing.” James walked toward her while holding an umbre, smiling with his eyes


    narrowed. “The youngdy of the Jones family who was once above everyone else has now lost all her


    power.”


    Exhausted, she could not be bothered to deal with the man. She started walking toward her car in


    silence.


    His voice rang behind her. “Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Sally will definitely be informed of today’s incident.


    It’s obvious that they favor Reba over you. Don’t dream of heading back to the Jones family


    anymore because no one there wees your presence.”


    m! She shut the door and drove away.


    His words were not news to her, but it did not matter. Her life was miserable enough. No one really


    loved or cared for her.


    …


    6.00 P.M.


    Shaun came home from work.


    In the past, even if Catherine was upied at that moment, the house was always brightly lit and filled


    with a delicious aroma. He could always catch a glimpse of her silhouette as she moved across the


    kitchen diligently, preparing dinner.


    Today, however, there was only darkness.


    He turned on the lights only to find Catherine curled up on the couch. Her hair was disheveled and her


    eyes appeared sorrowful. She rested her chin above Fudge’s head as she held the cat close in her


    arms. She looked lifeless and defeated.


    She had always appeared energetic and radiant in front of him. It felt slightly strange seeing this


    unprecedented side of her.


    “The bidding didn’t go well?”


    He removed his coat and threw it on the couch casually. “Failing once isn’t a big deal. You’re still young


    —”


    “I’m allowed to be deceived like a fool because I’m young?” She shot him an angry look. “People like


    you who are at the top of society don’t even care about other people’s feelings, right?”


    A hint of annoyance shed across his face. He assumed the upset woman was projecting her rage at


    him. “With this behavior, failure serves you right.”


    “That’s right, I’m a failure. My biggest failure is having trusted you.”


    Catherine clenched her fists. Although it was clear that he did not love her, she was his wife byw at


    the very least. Even so, he had tricked her like a fool.


    “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” Shaun was irritated by her remark. “You wouldn’t even have had


    the chance to participate in the bidding if I hadn’t lent you a hand. If I knew this was how you were


    going to behave, then I definitely wouldn’t have bothered.”


    “Thank you very much. I beg you to stay out of my affairs in the future.”


    She scoffed while getting to her feet. Fudge leaped up from her embrace. The cat felt the tense


    situation between her two owners and scratched the woman’s shirt helplessly.


    He was not only furious with her attitude but also truly disappointed.


    Initially, after seeing her designs, he thought she was really talented. However, plenty of people in this


    world were born with talent, thus there would always be someone better and stronger out there. One


    failure was enough for him to see her true colors.


    Honestly, he despised people like this.


    “Remember what you said. Starting from today, apart from looking after Fudge, I don’t want anything to


    do with you. You don’t have to cook for me either. It’s only going to make me sick.”


    Then, he picked up the cat with one hand, grabbed his coat with another, and left the house.


    An eerie silence enveloped the room. She had a warm cat tofort her cold heart earlier but that was


    now gone too.


    Catherine’s mind went nk. The sun slowly faded into the darkness.


    She left the house and headed to the bar.


    The server brought her several bottles of beer. She popped the cap off one of them and started taking


    big gulps.


    She had never liked drinking before. It was only now that she discovered the benefit of drowning one’s


    sorrow with alcohol.

    She nced at the young people dancing on the stage nearby as she drank.


    How easy her life was in the past.


    A life without worries with everyone by her side.


    Gradually, her vision began to blur.


    She did not notice the person watching her closely from a corner. A brief momentter, the person


    made a phone call. “J, guess who I saw?”
