Just one month after getting engaged, I had been running around like crazy preparing for the wedding when I overheard my fiancé bragging to his friends in a private room about sleeping with another girl. This time, I turned and left immediately. I went home, packed up all my things, and contacted a realtor to sell our marital home. When Gabriel found out, he panicked for a moment. His friend sitting next to him sneered, “Everyone’s trying to get on your good side these days. How could Amelia possibly give this up? She’ll be back in a couple of days.” Gabriel thought about my attitude towards him over the past two years, and his expression became smug again, swirling the wine glass in his hand. It wasn’t until the marital home was actually sold that he was stunned, watching the new occupants move in. Gabriel and I had been together for five years since college. I was personally preparing for the wedding, feeling incredibly sweet. I had been busy for half a month and lost four pounds, and I was also preparing a surprise for him. Until that day, I went to find him with the surprise without telling him in advance. I was arranging my surprise with the waiter at the door when I stumbled upon his disgusting side. “How was that model I introduced you to last time? Much more accommodating than your fiancée, right?” Talking about this, Gabriel’s lips curled into a playful smile. “Although she was a virgin, she knew quite a bit. Amelia is so boring in comparison.” Hearing this, the people around him became unrestrained. “I heard your fiancée wants to wait until the wedding night. That’s so old-fashioned.” “If you ask me, it’s only because you’re indulging her. If it were me, I would’ve taken her by force already.” “She’s an orphan, what’s there to be afraid of? She likes you so much, maybe she’s just waiting for you to make a move.” “Yeah, Amelia always dresses so tightly, with that little figure of hers. Tsk, if that’s not trying to seduce you, I don’t believe it.” Gabriel thought about how I dressed each time, savoring it for a moment. His body also reacted, and with the atmosphere around him, he spoke frivolously, “Maybe I’ll try that when I get home tonight.” Hearing this, sharp laughter erupted around him. I was at the door listening to all this, feeling like I was meeting Gabriel for the first time. I immediately pushed the door open and went in, giving Gabriel a slap across the face. Gabriel, having lost face, grabbed me and held me against him. “Amelia, you think you can disrespect me like this?” I was petite and couldn’t break free from Gabriel’s grip for a moment. I could only struggle continuously, my dress riding up a bit. The malicious laughter around me, the scrutinizing gazes, and Gabriel’s disrespectful hands made me feel sick to my stomach. People who aren’t worth it, circles that aren’t worth it, might as well clean them all out.
The drama that day ended with me headbutting Gabriel’s chin hard. At that time, Gabriel coldly pushed me away. “Amelia, you’re such a killjoy. Why can’t you learn from them?” Following Gabriel’s gaze, I finally saw a row of girls with various makeup styles standing in the private room. I understood in my heart. This man had been rotten for a long time, or perhaps he had always been rotten. Asking me to learn from them, I suddenly laughed. “If you like them so much, why don’t you marry them instead?” The ring on my middle finger also hit Gabriel’s face along with my words. “Sis, we were just joking earlier. Gabriel, you know your fiancée can’t be compared to these girls.” Someone, seeing the situation wasn’t good, quickly tried to smooth things over. Gabriel glanced at that person, and everyone around shut up. “Amelia, stop making a scene.” My smile grew wider. This man was more shameless than I thought. Too lazy to entangle further, I walked to the door and picked up the surprise I had prepared – it was the autographed T-shirt of the sports star he wanted most. Now it seemed that even this sports star wouldn’t want to give his autograph to such a person. How unlucky. “Mr. Gu, you need to coax your wife~” The girl speaking was one of the row from earlier. Gabriel pulled this girl to sit down, looking unconcerned. “It’s fine, she’ll be waiting for me at home even if I don’t coax her.” I don’t know what else was said after that because I had already left.
The first thing I did now was to list that autographed T-shirt for sale on eBay. How rare this autograph was, how many people I had to ask for favors to get just one. But at least I could make a profit at market price. Then I contacted a moving company, packed up all my things, not leaving Gabriel a single bit. Even the marital home. Thinking of this, I found the property deed and called to contact a realtor. “Sell this house as quickly as possible, I’ll give you an extra point of commission.” The realtor’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly. This house wouldn’t be difficult to sell at all. I had chosen this house myself. The location was excellent, so naturally, the price was high. Although Gabriel had money, it was all company accounts. He wanted to take out a loan, but I really didn’t want our marital home to be bought with a loan. So I let Gabriel pay a part, and I secretly paid the majority myself, getting it in full, and naturally, it had to be in my name. Who would have thought that my heart’s blood would end up like this? Out of sight, out of mind. The efficiency of the moving company I hired was extremely high. It wasn’t long before I moved back to the villa my parents had left me. Living alone was a bit empty, but it was full of my parents’ presence, which calmed my emotions quite a bit.
It would be a lie to say I wasn’t hurt, but I absolutely wouldn’t waste energy on things that weren’t worth it. Compared to the pain of losing my parents back then, what was this? Coincidentally, there was a business trip to England coming up at the company. I had pushed it back earlier because of the wedding date, but now it was just right to use work to ease my mood and change my environment. Once I had made up my mind, I went to do it. I asked the project manager if I could still join, and she was very happy for me to go. The person we were going to meet this time had been a close partner of my parents years ago. If I could go, it would give us a bit of an advantage. Although business is business and success isn’t guaranteed, this is how it works. The more chances you have, the higher the probability of success. “Miss Amelia, now that you’re here, why don’t you take the position of overall manager?” the person in charge opposite me said. I was stunned for a moment and quickly refused. “No need, you’ve been in charge of this all along. What right do I have to take over? Just carry on as you have been. I’ll tell the chairman I just want a deputy manager position.” The person opposite sent a smiley emoji. “Got it, I definitely won’t let Miss Amelia down!” She’s good at handling things. My position is quite high, and I hold a large share in the company. According to the rules, it would be right for me to be in charge. But joining halfway through when the work is already half done, I certainly can’t steal someone else’s credit. Otherwise, it would inevitably cause resentment below.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around me, my mood had indeed lightened quite a bit. This trip really was the right decision. After finishing work, I sat in the café downstairs, leisurely passing time. “Amelia.” A middle-aged man stood in front of me. With his scholarly demeanor, paired with a neat suit, he looked very proper. I got up in pleasant surprise. “Uncle Wang!” “You little girl, sit down quickly. You’ve grown up so much. I remember when I was working with your parents, you were only this tall.” Uncle Wang looked at me affectionately, gesturing to show how tall I was back then. I reminisced as well. “Yes, time really flies.” “You’ve had it tough. If your father and mother were still here, seeing you like this now, they would be so proud.” Uncle Wang looked at me with emotion. “Let’s not talk about that. The way you were negotiating in the meeting just now, you’ve really surpassed your parents. If my useless son had even half your ability, that would be great!” “Uncle Wang, you’re exaggerating. I heard a few years ago that your son was the top scholar in the province. He must be much more outstanding than me. From the photos, he looks quite handsome too.” I smiled modestly. “That boy is only good at studying. I wanted him to learn management, but he insists on doing scientific research. He’s studying abroad here, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to manage this project personally. My boy doesn’t even have a partner yet. Oh, I saw on your social media last time that you’re about to get married. When the time comes, Uncle Wang must come to support you. That fiancé of yours is quite talented too. I helped him once for your sake, and he really made something of himself.” Uncle Wang talked about my marriage like an old father. My expression froze, not knowing how to explain for a moment. I could only laugh it off. “Uncle Wang, if I get married, you must come and experience what it’s like to have a daughter.” Just as I finished speaking, Uncle Wang’s phone rang. He didn’t notice anything unusual in my words. “Okay, let’s talk later. Amelia, Uncle Wang has to go now. You enjoy yourself here.” Therefore, I also breathed a sigh of relief, nodding obediently and getting up to see Uncle Wang off a bit.
After a busy month, the work in England was finally completed. The environment here really is nice. Coincidentally, my annual leave was approved, so I decided to stay a few more days. When Uncle Wang learned that I planned to stay a few more days, he called and asked his son to show me around locally. I never refuse the care of elders, it always makes me feel like I still have family around. “Sister Amelia.” A young man about a head and a half taller than me tapped me on the shoulder from behind. I turned to look at him. Youth really is full of vitality. “Are you William?” “It’s me, sis. My dad asked me to show you around for a few days~ I happen to be free recently!” William blinked his big eyes. Looking at his eyes, it felt like you could see right through to his heart. “I thought you students studying abroad were all very busy.” Looking at the clean smiling face in front of me, I was willing to joke around a bit too. “We are very busy, but to accompany a beauty like you, sis, of course I’m not busy anymore.” William’s sincere tone didn’t make people feel offended, but rather happy. I couldn’t help but tease, “Is your mouth this sweet with everyone?” “How could that be possible? My dad specially instructed me to take good care of you, sis! How could I fool you!” William snorted lightly. I was amused. What a cute boy. “You really are suited for scientific research, not suitable for taking over your dad’s business.” “Right? My dad is such an old fogey, he doesn’t understand the charm of technology. He only knows about money, money, money. You need to contribute to the country to be truly meaningful!” William nodded in agreement. I shook my head with a smile. “I just think that such a pure and honest person like you, little brother, isn’t suitable for the intrigues and worldly wisdom of the business world.” Seeing that I had relaxed, William blinked mischievously. “Actually, I’m only a year younger than you, sis. I call you Sister Amelia, why don’t you call me Little Will?” Looking at the young man in a hoodie, full of vigor, who was only a year younger than me, I was shocked in my heart. I didn’t look that old either, did I? Why did he seem so full of life? “You’re only a year younger than me?” “Yes, sis. You don’t think I’m very young, do you? Actually, Sister Amelia only looks more professional because of how you’re dressed. You don’t look older than me at all. How about I take you to a fun place tonight?” William’s eyes turned, seemingly thinking of some good idea. I coughed lightly to cover my embarrassment. Having just graduated and entered the company in a management position, being naturally short and thin, of course I had to dress more maturely.
While I was having a great time in England, one of Gabriel’s friends called me. “Sis, we want to apologize for what happened that day. We spoke carelessly. Don’t blame Gabriel.” “I’m not blaming him. You’re overthinking it.” My previously happy mood suddenly plummeted. Really… these people are like ghosts that won’t leave me alone. “Gabriel said your company’s work ended a while ago, so… when is sis coming back?” “When I come back has nothing to do with you, does it? Did breaking up mean restricting my personal freedom?” “Sis, this…” The person hadn’t finished speaking when Gabriel’s angry voice came through the phone. “Let her be. She’s really putting on airs. She really thinks she’s still the little princess she used to be.” I hung up the phone as soon as I heard his voice, and also added this number to the blacklist. “Mr. Gu, this…” “I said let her be. You’re all senior executives under me, you’ve all apologized to her. What more does she want?” Gabriel’s face was full of disdain. He pressed the special service bell, and a luxurious atmosphere quickly spread throughout the room, with sounds that made people blush. He drank himself into a stupor. “Mr. Gu, shall I call a driver to take you home? Where do you live?” the waiter asked. In his confusion, Gabriel reported an address. When they sent him home, Gabriel only realized he had come to our marital home. The cold wind sobered him up quite a bit. Gabriel felt an inexplicable anger rise in his heart with nowhere to vent. He vindictively inserted the key into the lock, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t open it. After he fumbled for ten minutes, the door opened. His heart skipped a beat, with a glimmer of hope. “Who are you? If you don’t leave, I’m calling the police. It’s the middle of the night.” A burly man stood at the door, looking displeased at the alcohol-reeking man in front of him. “Who are you? Why are you in my home?” “What do you mean your home? This is my home!” The burly man irritably pushed Gabriel back a bit. “Where’s Amelia? Tell her to get out here, how dare she bring a man home!!!” Gabriel roared. “Amelia? Oh, are you her man? She’s already sold this house to me. Go look for her somewhere else.” The burly man imagined a dramatic love story, and swiftly closed the door. Gabriel looked at the tightly shut door in disbelief, letting out a howl. “Amelia, how dare you do this to me!!!” “Who is it, making a scene in the middle of the night? Get lost, or I’m calling the police.” “You have the guts to come down and say that!” The other side didn’t reply, but half a minute later he was dragged out by two or three security guards. Gabriel went crazy after drinking, cursing me as he was taken away. “That bitch, don’t you dare regret it!!!”
