Chapter 6
Watching his reaction, I finally understood–he never really cared about me.

I was so angry that I couldn’t say a word. I just bent down and started picking up the scattered puzzle pieces one by one.
Soon, my hand was pricked by a sharp piece of wood, sending a sting of pain through my fingers.
“Didn’t you hear me? I told you to apologize to Cecilia!”
Weston still wouldn’t let it go.
I ignored him again, continuing to pick up the pieces. But just as I finished picking up the last one and stood up, Weston swung his hand and knocked all the puzzle pieces to the ground again.
“I fucking told you to apologize to Cecilia!”
His voice was sharper and more unpleasant than before.
I bent down again to gather the pieces.
At that moment, I just wanted to take those pieces and leave. I didn’t want to deal with anything else.
In the background, I could hear Weston comforting Cecilia.
“Don’t mind this crazy woman. Let me take you to the hospital to get it checked out.” []
“The wedding is coming up. You need to make sure you look perfect.”
“Don’t bother with this madwoman!” [
After speaking, Weston gently picked up Cecilia and carried her to the hospital.
When I finished picking up the pieces and stepped out of the house, it started raining.
It was fine.
This way, no one would see the tears I couldn’t hold back.
That day, I couldn’t remember how I made it back to the hotel from Weston’s house.
I didn’t even remember how long the walk took. []
All I remember is when I reached the hotel, seeing my uncle, who was worried about me returning to China, I collapsed into his arms.
It was the first time I saw him shed tears out of concern for me.
“Everlee, why are you being so foolish?”
“I’ll make that bastard kneel before you!” [

I weakly looked at my uncle but spoke with determination.
“Uncle, I’ll handle it myself.” [
After saying that, I passed out.
For the next few days, I had a high fever and was delirious.
I even dreamt of my mother.
She didn’t speak but gently held me, just like when I was little.
The day I recovered from my fever was the day of Weston and Cecilia’s wedding.
Because of my issues with Weston, I never let my uncle intervene. []
So, up until now, Weston had no idea that the biggest investor in his company, the mysterious foreign billionaire, was my uncle.
Keeping my identity a secret was my uncle’s idea.
Five years ago, when Weston agreed to be my boyfriend, I excitedly told my uncle about it. []
That day, my uncle smiled and said, “Everlee, you can’t tell your boyfriend about my identity before marriage.” I
“That way, you’ll see his true intentions.”
“You’ll know for sure that he’s not with you for your money.”
At that time, I had naively argued with him. [
“Uncle, Weston isn’t that kind of person!” [
“We’re together because of love.”
Ha.
Thinking back on what I said back then, I realize now how naive I was. []
As the largest investor in the company, my uncle was naturally one of the most important guests at Weston’s wedding.
When I arrived at the wedding venue, even though the banquet hall was full, Weston and Cecilia were still waiting at the entrance of the hotel because my uncle hadn’t arrived. []
Weston’s wedding was truly extravagant.
-Not only were there over a hundred tables at the banquet, but they also invited numerous media reporters to live stream
the event.
It was so flashy, it was as though they were trying to announce their beautiful love to the entire world.
The giant wedding photo on the hotel’s exterior was so large that it was visible from over a hundred meters away. I
