Chapter 1 Cheating On Her


    "I have given myself to you. Why don''t you break up with J?" the woman asked in a seductive,


    breathless voice. She was half-naked and hovering above a man.


    "Don''t mention her name when we are making out." The man was so excited that he squeezed the


    woman''s breasts and moaned in pleasure.


    The woman seemed dissatisfied as she didn''t get the answer she wanted. "No way! She is an


    adopted daughter -- even our dog holds a more important position in our family than she does.


    What''s so good about her?"


    The man didn''t say anything. He gripped the woman''s waist and thrust harder, which made her


    scream and moan his name.


    J Lind stood in front of the door, listening to everything in the room. Her tired eyes turned cold


    as she understood what was going on.


    She had just returned from the hospital.


    Hannah, who had raised J ever since she was a child, was diagnosed with advanced liver


    cirrhosis three months ago. The woman needed a liver transnt right away. J had to gather


    the money to pay the medical expenses.


    To make her situation worse, her younger sister hooked up with her boyfriend. J felt her life was


    falling apart.


    "Did you hear me? You have to tell me your decision tonight. It''s either her or me. The choice is


    yours." Jocelyn Lind pounded on Steve Carter''s chest, desperate to hear his answer.


    J kicked the door open and red at the couple. "Let me save you the trouble. He is just a


    man. You can have him if you want."


    Although J sounded nonchnt, her heart broke to watch her boyfriend cheat on her with her


    sister.


    Steve was J''s college ssmate. He was a handsome man from a wealthy family. He had


    chased after J for three years.


    He had confessed his love to her again right before their graduation.


    It was on the yground of their college. Many people were around, and almost all the students had


    witnessed the romantic scene. The crowd cheered, and J finally agreed to be his girlfriend.


    The pain of betrayal crushed her. Looking at the two people in front of her, J clenched her fists,


    her nails sinking into her flesh.


    Steve hurriedly pushed Jocelyn away, put on his pants, and got out of the bed.


    Jocelyn almost fell down. J''s words ignited her anger.


    She had put a lot of effort into hooking up with a wealthy, handsome man like Steve.


    J had won his heart without doing anything, which infuriated Jocelyn.


    After all, J was just an adoptive daughter.


    "What the hell are you saying? You sound like you dumped Steve. It''s Steve who dumped you,


    bitch!" Jocelyn sneered as she pulled the quilt closer to her body. Then, she looked at Steve and


    asked, "Steve, what did you say to me just now? Tell that to J!"


    Steve had slept with Jocelyn purely out of impulse. The woman had seduced him, and he lost


    control of himself.


    He kneeled and grabbed J''s wrist. "J, please forgive me. I didn''t know what I was thinking."


    Although tears filled her eyes, J looked at him with disgust. Once J set her mind to


    something, no one could change it.


    She withdrew her hand from Steve''s hold. "I''m sorry, Steve. I don''t want anything that''s tainted by


    Jocelyn. You two are a perfect match. Let''s break up."


    Jocelyn was taken aback. Steve was on the verge of a breakdown, but there was not even a trace


    of sadness on J''s face. Anger surged through her veins because she didn''t achieve what she


    had wanted.


    J didn''t have the time to talk to them. Jocelyn had always beenpeting with her ever since


    they were kids and she enjoyed taking away whatever belonged to J. She used to snatch


    J''s toys. Now that they had grown up, she snatched her boyfriend as well.


    J was used to it. She was only worried about Hannah''s medical expenses now.


    Just as she was about to leave, she heard the cking of footsteps from the corridor.

    "It''ste at night. What''s with all the noise?"


    J''s adopted parents, Bernie Lind and Fiona Duncan, rushed over after hearing themotion.


    Bernie walked into the room first. His eyes widened in horror when he saw his daughter sitting on


    the bed wearing nothing -- except for the quilt wrapped around her. "What the hell are you doing?


    You are going to get married soon. What are you doing with another man?" he bellowed.


    Jocelyn hugged herself and looked at Bernie with bloodshot eyes. She gritted her teeth to suppress


    her rage.


    The Lester family and the Lind family had an agreement to get their kids married when they grew


    up. Her fiance was an illegitimate child, and the Lester family had driven him out of the house a long


    time ago. He was poor and didn''t even have a decent job. He was just an idler who wasted his time


    doing nothing. Jocelyn didn''t want to marry him.


    She felt she deserved someone better than him.


    "I''m pregnant!" Jocelyn said, pointing at Steve. "I am pregnant with his child. So I can''t marry


    anyone else. You better cancel the wedding."


    Steve was dumbfounded. He had slept with Jocelyn only a few times. How could she get pregnant?


    "What nonsense! You must marry into the Lester family!" Bernie was fuming with rage. He wanted


    to p Jocelyn for acting stupid.


    After all, the wedding was a matter of his prestige. What could he tell the Lester family if they asked


    the reason for calling off the wedding? Fiona protectively stood in front of her daughter. She was


    protective of Jocelyn and seldom scolded her. Her husband was seething mad, and she couldn''t


    watch him shout at Jocelyn.


    "Bernie, why are you mad at Jocelyn?" Fiona cried. "J is also a daughter of the Lind family. She


    can also marry into the Lester family."


    Bernie and Fiona didn''t have any child for the first few years after they got married. Due to the


    pressure of the elders of the Lind family, they had to adopt J. Yearster, Fiona finally got


    pregnant and gave birth to Jocelyn.


    The whole thing only made her hate J even more. J''s existence was proof of her infertility.


    The mere sight of her adopted daughter irked Fiona.


    After giving birth to Jocelyn, Fiona became partial toward her daughter and despised J.


    Later, as time went by, J grew up to be a better woman than her daughter in every aspect. That


    seemed to intensify her hatred for J even more.


    Fiona''s words enraged J. "You had agreed to get Jocelyn married into the Lester family, not


    me," she roared. "Why are you nning to get me married just because your sweet daughter has


    been banging someone?"


    "We have raised you all these years. It''s time for you to repay our kindness, J," Fiona said in a


    low voice, her eyes twinkling with cunningness. "Don''t you want that maid to have the surgery? We


    will pay for the medical expenses as long as you marry into the Lester family in ce of Jocelyn."


    Acent smile emerged on Jocelyn''s face. She felt J and the illegitimate son of the


    Lester family would be perfect for each other.


    J gritted her teeth as Fiona''s words infuriated her. However, the doctor''s words shed in her


    mind. Hannah didn''t have much time left.


    J had just graduated and couldn''t afford to pay for Hannah''s treatment.


    Although Bernie and Fiona adopted J, they never really cared about her. Hannah, the maid of


    the Lind family, raised J. Hannah was like the grandmother J never had. She couldn''t leave


    her alone.


    Noticing her hesitation, Fiona walked up to J. "You will have to marry someone in the future.


    Why don''t you help us by marrying the son of the Lester family? I will give you the money as soon


    as you get married."


    J''s feet trembled as everyone in the room stared at her. She needed money to pay Hannah''s


    medical fee.


    Tears finally streamed down her cheeks. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice. "Okay, I''ll


    marry him."
