Chapter 2
Afterwards, Jayson took Tessa and Cindy to a restaurant to eat.
As I went upstairs to clean the wound, I took off my high heels and noticed that my ankle was red
and swollen.
The heels were also rubbed with blisters of various sizes, some of which had burst and were oozing
blood.
As soon as the iodine was poured on, I inhaled sharply, it really hurt.
I have never liked high heels, but Jayson does, especially when he sees me wearing them.
Over the years, in order to accommodate his preferences, I have constantly forced myself to wear
them.
Although my feet were always worn out and bleeding, I still enjoyed it.
Looking back now, I was really foolish before.
After cleaning the wound, I changed into comfortable slippers and threw the high heels into the
trash can.
Compared to the uncomfortable high heels, I still prefer comfortable slippers.
This time, I didn’t want to accommodate others anymore, I wanted to live for myself.
With this in mind, I decisively took out my phone and sent a message to the big company that had
always shown interest in me.
“I agreed to your cooperation.”
The other party replied instantly, “Ms. Blanchard, you have finally come to your senses. You can set the reporting time, and we will be ready at any time.”
This large company was the leading enterprise of Kingsley, and their president always had a high regard for my business skills and design abilities. He frequently extended olive branches to me, and the salary and benefits were also considerable.
But I had refused before.
Most of the company’s business relied on me because Jayson needed me. Even the design blueprints for new products depended on me.
I gave up my future and willingly stayed by Jayson’s side, working like a horse.

After the company grew and became stronger, he, however, burned his bridges and kicked me out.
At this moment, I finally realized that a sincere heart cannot be exchanged for another sincere
heart.
I chose to forgive him because of what Lisa did before.
This time, I didn’t owe him anything, we settled everything completely.
At this point, I replied to the big company, “I will go for the interview tomorrow.”
With this thought in mind, I bought the earliest flight ticket for tomorrow and then started packing my luggage.
When I was packing my luggage, I realized that my belongings couldn’t even fill up a suitcase.
The cabinet was filled with Jayson’s suits and ties, while my clothes consisted of only a few faded
dresses.
The only valuable thing was the gold bracelet he bought for me.
Although it was an old and outdated style from over a decade ago, I cherished it like a treasure.
Because this was the gift Jayson bought for me with his first earnings.
In his twenties, he had a bright smile and gently put a bracelet on me. He promised to love me for a
lifetime and said that when he had money, he would buy me a house full of jewelry.
I waited for him to have money, but he never bought me a decent piece of jewelry again.
On our seventh anniversary, I couldn’t help but ask him to give me a set of jewelry.
He, however, got angry and scolded me for being wasteful and not understanding the hard work he
put into earning money.
After that, in order to cure my habit of spending money recklessly, he restricted my expenses, any amount exceeding 200 dollars had to be reported and approved by the finance department.
My former lover suddenly became unfamiliar.
When did it change? Perhaps it was when Tessa appeared.
Ever since Tessa appeared, Jayson’s heart quietly flew away.
He strictly limited every expense of mine, down to the exact cents and fractions.
He was generous towards Tessa.

Just because of Tessa’s words “I want it,” he bought a diamond necklace worth millions without
hesitation to give to her.
He always maintained a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, not allowing me to
have excessive communication with him in the office, but allowing Tessa to jokingly call him
“Jayson honey“.
Not only that, he also took Tessa to eat expensive food and watch movies during work hours.
Lost in thought, the bracelet accidentally fell to the ground.
I picked it up and saw that the surface of the bracelet had been scratched off, revealing a black color
inside.
This bracelet was fake.
I found it funny.
This relationship was a mistake from the beginning, yet I foolishly persisted for so many years!
Fortunately, it was not too late to realize it now.
I threw the bracelet into the trash can and up all the photos of Jayson.
At that moment, the phone rang.
It was Tessa’s updated Instagram.

In the photo, Jayson held Cindy in his arms, allowing her oily little hands to smudge all over his
well–tailored suit, with a look of indulgence in his eyes.
Tessa leaned against him, smiling as she fed him a steak soaked in her own saliva, and he ate it without any disgust.
I found it extremely ironic.
Being a clean freak, he was upset when Lisa kindly brewed coffee for him and accidentally spilled it
on his shoes.
He got so angry that he scolded Lisa for an hour and locked her in the basement for reflection,
without giving her any food or drink for the whole day.
Lisa’s body was weakened and she often fell ill back then, due to being starved.
And before, I accidentally took his water bottle by mistake and he smashed it in front of me, with a face full of disgust.

“Disgusting!”
It turns out, he was just fastidious about cleanliness towards us, mother and daughter, and found us disgusting.
I sneered and gave a thumbs–up in return.
This further strengthened my determination to leave, and I hastened my actions.
After tidying up, I was also a bit tired, so I took a hot bath and went to bed for a good sleep.
I had just fallen asleep not long ago when I was awakened by a knocking at the door.
It was Jayson, without even thinking.
Jayson found it troublesome to enter the password, so he got used to asking me to open the door for
him.
Before, he didn’t need as long as he shouted, I would eagerly run to open the

But now, I just turned over and
In a daze, I was about to enter the realm of dreams.
Medelling back to sleep.
The next second, Jayson angrily kicked open the door and turned on the light with a loud “snap“. He shouted, “Melany, are you deaf? You were clearly not asleep, why didn’t you get up and open the
door for me!”
