Divorced the Cheater, Became the Bride Her Ex-boyfriend Wanted

Eliana Hamilton went to Jared Palmer, her ex-boyfriend and a renowned lawyer, to arrange a divorce from her current husband.

In the past, after Eliana casually said she liked something, Bryson Snyder had purchased the entire brand and presented it to her on her birthday. He waited at her company entrance on rainy days to take her home, and protected her when Celia Snyder made things hard for her. To ensure she received acknowledgment from her family, he even suffered ninety-nine lashes.

Everyone believed Bryson deeply loved the orphan girl, Eliana.

Until the day his first love came back to the country, he joked with his friends.

Everyone believes I secretly loved Eliana, false.

From start to finish, the only one I liked was Althea Wagner, but my mother looks down on her, thinking shes just a young model without status.

So I made it seem like I had secretly loved Eliana for many years, first because her reputation was already ruined, having been involved with Jared for so long. After being together long enough, my mom might allow Althea to join the family.

At that moment, Eliana finally understood that love could be faked.

Bryson did not love her, so she applied for divorce again and again, but was turned down repeatedly by top law firms.

Not only that, but it was even during the crucial time of her younger brothers surgery.

Just because a dog raised by Althea had a stomach problem, Bryson pulled all the doctors out of the operating room.

While everyone gathered in the nearby consultation room to treat the dog, her younger brother, due to the missed rescue timing, died completely in the cold operating room.

When it came to feelings, she could not match Althea.

When it came to value, her younger brothers life was not even worth a dog.

It was her younger brothers bloody death that fully woke her up.

However, Bryson did not remember that he also had his own first love, just as Eliana did.

If Mila Palmer had not parted the lovers before, her husband now would have been Jared.

Still, on the day Jared succeeded in helping her with the divorce, he knelt before Eliana, his eyes flushed as he asked for her forgiveness.

Eliana only smiled. You cheated, I divorced, but I reunited with my ex. Why are you crying?

...

Five years ago, Eliana left the reigning king of the legal world, Jared, and turned to marry Bryson, the crown prince of the city circle.

Five years later, Eliana sat across from the man and pleaded, Jared, as long as you can help me handle this divorce case, I can pay any amount.

Jared smiled smugly and lifted his brows as he asked, What? You lost?

Eliana looked down and self-mockingly smiled.

Back then, she and Jared had been close to getting married.

However, one day before the wedding, Mila threatened her through her only younger brother.

Mila strapped a bomb to her younger brother and warned.

At the wedding tomorrow, you will publicly break things off with Jared and make sure he gives up on you. If you dont, your younger brother will be the first to suffer. If he means nothing to you, then feel free to go through with the marriage.

Eliana had lost both parents when she was young and relied on her younger brother to survive.

The Palmer family stood at the top of the citys wealthy circles, and since she started seeing Jared, Mila had never respected her status.

Jared was now set on marrying her no matter what, and Mila used her final tactic.

She knew that even if she revealed the truth and Jared protected her this time, what about the second time?

So, on the wedding day, she publicly abandoned Jared.

When Bryson, the crown prince of the city circle, found out, he started chasing her relentlessly and once again used her family to threaten her.

If she refused the marriage, no one in the Hamilton family would remain alive.

Eliana was forced to accept, counting the days as she waited for Bryson to get tired and take the lead in letting her go.

Yet after the wedding, Bryson had fully changed into a different man.

Just because Eliana casually said she liked something, Bryson would acquire the entire brand and present it to her for her birthday.

On rainy days, he would show up at her office on time to pick her up after work.

When Celia made things difficult for her, he would defend her and even endure ninety-nine lashes to help her be accepted by the family.

Eliana believed that what she lost had been replaced elsewhere, and she gradually developed feelings for him.

Yet at that moment, Bryson had an affair with a young model.

When she discovered it, Eliana argued, caused a scene, and even said she would divorce him.

The night before they went to the City Hall, Bryson knelt down and admitted his fault, promising it would be the last time.

Around that time, Eliana became pregnant with Brysons child, and for the sake of the baby, she decided to give him another chance.

Four peaceful years made her believe he had truly changed.

But half a month ago, when she went to the company to find Bryson, she discovered the truth.

That day, the rain poured heavily. Eliana was soaked to the bone, but it was nothing compared to the pain caused by Brysons cruel words.

Bryson said, Everyone assumed I secretly loved Eliana, wrong.

From start to finish, the only person I liked was Althea, but my mother looked down on her, thinking she was just a young model and not from a high status.

So I acted as if I had quietly loved Eliana for years, partly because her situation was already messy, having been with Jared for so many years. After staying together long enough, my mother might have agreed to let Althea join the family.

Inside the room, everyone laughed, and someone asked, Bryson, arent you worried that one day your wife will find out and make a scene by asking for a divorce?

Bryson laughed openly and replied with confidence, In the capital, there isnt a lawyer brave enough to handle my case. In this lifetime, Im the only one who can walk away from her. Eliana has no right to say its finished.

After that, Eliana had searched for every possible way to divorce, checking all the law firms in the capital.

Yet as soon as they found out it was Brysons divorce case, they all declined her request.

Worse still, during the critical moment of her younger brothers surgery.

Simply because Altheas dog had stomach pain, Bryson pulled all the doctors out of the operating room.

As everyone stayed in the next consultation room to care for the dog, her younger brother, due to the missed critical rescue time, passed away in the cold operating room.

In terms of affection, she could not match Althea.

When it came to value, her younger brothers life was less than that of a dog.

It turned out that a mans concern and love could be pretended.

It was her younger brothers bloodied life that completely woke her up.

The love from before had faded like smoke and clouds, all unreal, leaving behind only endless lies.

So no matter what, she had to take the child and completely get away from Bryson.

The Snyder family in the city held overwhelming power, and ordinary people truly did not dare to oppose them.

But the Palmer family stood against the Snyders, and in the whole city, the only one who dared to take this case was Jared.

So even though she knew Jared hated her, she still had no choice but to go to him.

Coming back to her senses, Eliana looked at him and spoke clearly, word by word.

Yes, back then I couldnt tell the difference between a person and a dog, so will you take this case?

Even in this hopeless situation, Eliana kept her back straight.

Jared lit a cigarette. The smoke drifted around his face, making his expression hard to read and impossible to guess to Eliana.

Eliana, you were the one who left me back then. The fact that Im not making things worse for you now is already kindness. What makes you think Id help you?

With the small amount of money you have, it isnt even enough to cover my appearance fee.

Eliana fixed her gaze on him.

Unlike five years ago, the innocence on her face had faded, replaced by calmness and coldness.

She should have realized it earlier. After five years of experience, Jared had already changed.

Then why did you still come to the meeting, to see how miserable I am and then laugh at me?

Jared did not reply, only smiled and made a soft sound, which was taken as agreement.

Elianas pride was trampled under the mans feet, yet she did not give up and instead continued to bargain.

Jared, as long as you agree to help me handle this divorce case, I will stay with you.

Across from her, Jareds fingers gripping the cigarette tightened slightly without reason.

Some brief gentleness flashed in his eyes, but his words remained cold until the end.

Five years, what made you think I still wanted you?

Eliana gestured toward the necklace on his neck. Because you are still wearing the necklace I gave you.

This necklace was something I bought with my own earnings back then, a little more than one hundred dollars. Attorney Palmers status has gone up. Could it be you cant even buy a necklace?

Help me get a divorce, and I will give you a big gift.

Jared curled his lips and lifted his brows with a smile. What kind of gift?

I hold all the Snyder familys illegal business operations over the years, enough to make them fall.

I only have one requirement. When the time comes, I want eighty percent of the Snyder familys assets.

Jared suddenly put out the cigarette in front of him. Miss Hamilton, you have quite a strong appetite.

But I accept this cooperation.

Can the divorce be filed successfully within one week?

Seeing Elianas anxious expression, Jared curled his lips into a cold smile.

You rushed into marriage back then, and now youre rushing into divorce.

Eliana, are feelings so worthless to you?

Eliana clenched her lower lip, aware that Jared still held a grudge against her.

He had always thought she had abandoned him to cling to Bryson.

Despite this misunderstanding, he was still willing to assist her, and she felt thankful enough.

Jared, I know you have resentment toward me in your heart, but this divorce is really important to me.

Seeing the redness in her eyes, Jareds heart seemed to be gripped hard.

He abruptly stood up. Within one week, I will fulfill your request, and you need to keep your promise.

After saying this, Jareds back gradually vanished from Elianas sight.

Eliana took a deep breath, feeling relieved that Jared agreed to help her.

In seven days, she would be able to take her daughter and fully leave Bryson behind.

After departing from the law firm, she went to the funeral home, retrieved her younger brothers ashes, and held the funeral.

At the funeral, only a few people came to pay their respects.

Elianas parents had died when she was young, leaving just her and her younger brother, and the relatives in the family had always treated them poorly.

Over the past few years, only after they found out she had married the crown prince of the city did they begin to reconnect.

But upon hearing lately that Bryson had been unfaithful again, they all watched from the sidelines, waiting to mock her, so they would not come to grieve for her younger brother.

The warmth and coldness in human relationships, she completely understood them this time.

Yet things did not turn out as she wished; someone still came to make trouble for her even at this time.

Eliana, I am deeply sorry about your younger brothers passing, so I came today to apologize.

Althea set down a bouquet of lilies in the funeral hall, her expression full of guilt.

From old times, no murderer would dare stand before the victim and speak.

Eliana pointed at her and yelled, Get out! You are not welcome here!

Her younger brother had been gone for so long, and she had many chances to come and apologize, yet she never did.

Now, she did not come to say sorry; she clearly came to stir trouble.

With just that one line, Althea felt very hurt, crying as she hid in Brysons arms.

Bryson, did I say something wrong that made Eliana upset? Is she still blaming me?

Does Eliana think I caused her younger brothers death, so she wants me to pay with my life?

Bryson held her and gently comforted, Its fine, dont be scared, with me here, no one can push you around, and no one can make you do anything you dont want to do.

Eliana felt a little lost after hearing this.

Back then, she was laughed at by people around her, treated like a public bus.

Bryson was the one who came out to protect her, saying before everyone: No one can bully my wife.

It had not been long, but things were already different.

After soothing Althea, Bryson frowned and stared at Eliana.

Eliana, Althea has already given you a way to step down. Just follow it and let it go. She felt guilty and woke up early, especially chose a bouquet of lilies for you. What more do you want?

Each word Bryson asked felt like tiny needles digging into her heart.

The pain made her shake.

Bryson forgot that she had an allergy to lilies.

Even after all these years, he still did not remember.

It showed that love or the lack of it had long appeared in these small things.

Eliana felt worn out, both her body and mind drained.

Now, she only wanted to properly complete her younger brothers funeral, then bring her daughter and leave him.

She lifted her gaze and weakly said, My younger brother died, can I not speak one fair sentence? I do not want anything, I only want you to give me some quiet.

My younger brothers funeral does not accept you; you go.

Eliana kept her head lowered as she burned items for her younger brother.

But Bryson and the others stayed, then passed a document to her.

You can go, but you need to sign this paper first.

Elianas heart shook again.

So the sadness was fake, the aim was true.

She only lifted her eyes; her view landed on a few large words on the front.

[Guardianship Transfer Letter]

Eliana frowned and asked, What do you mean?

Bryson spoke as if it were normal. It means exactly that, give Hera to Althea to raise.

With one more person caring for her, this is good.

Eliana looked at the man with shock, her nails pressing into her palm, yet she felt no hurt; only empty numbness remained.

Bryson, you make my child call a mistress mother?

Are you still a human?!

The child belongs to me. I am her only mother. No matter what, I will never sign this agreement!

Once she finished speaking, Eliana got up and forced them out.

Her strong response made Brysons face turn cold immediately.

He swung his arm, sending Eliana to the ground. Her arm was torn open with a wound over ten centimeters long, blood flowing out nonstop.

A slight ache passed through Brysons eyes, but he still said in a firm tone. I came here today to tell you, not to discuss anything.

If you refuse to sign, you wont be able to carry out todays funeral.

Right after he spoke, the bodyguards at the door entered and started breaking things in sight.

They were about to ruin the younger brothers memorial tablet.

Eliana felt both pain and anger, her eyes turning red. Enough, I sign! I sign!

The one who passed was respected; this was her younger brothers final quiet. She had to protect it.

It was only an agreement. After a week, she would bring her daughter and go far away.

This agreement was only a useless piece of paper.

Eliana picked up the agreement, her hand shaking without control as she wrote her name.

Seeing Eliana like this, Bryson felt a strange pain in his heart.

He bent down, softly trying to comfort her.

Eliana, dont worry. I will buy the best grave place in the capital for your younger brother, just take it as compensation for your brother-in-law.

Elianas tears fell into the cracks on the ground, her lower lip, and she bit, and even started to bleed.

The person had already passed; what was the point of doing this?

Give a hit and then give something after?

She did not want it.

She lifted her eyes and looked at the man, clearly the same one from her memory who once placed her first in everything.

But Eliana understood that there was no future for them anymore.

Bryson reached what he wanted, then left together with Althea.

And Eliana stayed beside her younger brother through the night.

When the night grew deep and quiet, the phone beside her kept ringing. It was messages sent again and again by Althea to upset her.

There were images of Bryson spending a lot of money on her during the auction.

There were also pictures of them finishing a box of condoms in one night.

And photos of both of them without clothes, in many positions.

In the past, Eliana always thought Bryson was distant; only now she realized that the reason he was like that was because of her.

At the start, Eliana still felt pain, but later she turned completely numb.

In any case, she no longer cared; Bryson could do anything he wanted.

But she saved screenshots of everything; all of it would serve as evidence in court later to leave Bryson with nothing.

Eliana stayed up through the night, and the next morning she received a call from her supervisor to report to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

She was a forensic doctor, and whenever there were suspicious deaths, she needed to go inspect the body.

This time was the same, but different from before; the body was an infant, around four years old, judging by the condition.

At the start, Eliana could still calmly handle the remains, restore the appearance, and analyze the cause of death.

Only after spotting the lucky charm on the babys neck did Eliana freeze in place.

Four years earlier, before Hera was born, she had also bought the same lucky charm.

Afterward, Bryson claimed it had gone missing in the hospital and was never recovered.

But now, that same lucky charm appeared before her, hanging on a childs body.

Elianas arm went stiff, and a chill ran through her whole body.

A terrifying thought quickly filled her mind.

Was this dead child actually hers?

If this lifeless baby was her own, then what about Hera?

Soon, Eliana rejected this unreasonable idea.

It was probably only a similar style.

The morgue was obviously enclosed, yet a gust of wind appeared from nowhere, lifting the bell beneath the lucky charm and exposing the engraved words on it. [HS]

Eliana felt a chill run through her whole body.

[HS] had engraved it herself before; even the placement matched, there was no such coincidence.

Eliana took the infants DNA and compared it with her own.

Two hours later, the test results were released.

The child lying in the morgue was her own.

Then what was going on with Hera?

Elianas mind felt like it was bursting, the pain cutting to the bone.

Eliana took the lucky charm and rushed back to the Snyder family.

She wanted to know the truth!

Just as she reached the door, before she could push it open, she heard her four-year-old daughter, Hera, call out. Mom!

But this mom was not meant for her; it was for Althea.

Althea smiled and gently teased the child. Baby, didnt Mom tell you? You can only call me that in private. You cant say it like this in the Snyder family. If someone hears, there will be trouble.

Bryson, however, casually replied, Whats there to worry about? The child is already grown, and youre her guardian now. If they find out Hera is our child, then well just make it clear.

It was clearly midsummer, yet Eliana Hamilton felt nothing but cold, even down to her bones.

So Hera truly was not her daughter.

Then the one in the morgue

Pain and anger flooded her, and she could no longer hold back. She kicked the door open and walked in.

The door banged loudly, and everyones eyes moved toward her.

Elianas face was cold like ice. Say it, how do you want to deal with me?

Althea stared at Eliana with no shame after being found out, and seemed ready to challenge her.

The shame on Brysons face appeared for a moment and vanished, then turned into pride.

Since you already heard it, I will not hide it from you.

The baby you gave birth to back then died after only a few hours. I was afraid you could not take it, so I gave you the baby Althea had just given birth to.

Eliana, speaking of it, you should be thankful to Althea. If not for her kindness, you would not have such a sweet daughter.

Eliana laughed in pain.

The one who betrayed her was him; the one who switched her child was also him.

She had been fooled like a fool for four full years, and now he still said she should thank them?

Thank them for letting her raise the mistresss child for four years?

Seeing Eliana almost break down, Bryson walked over, planning to hold her, but she pushed him away without mercy.

Dont touch me!

I ask you, where is our child? Where is her body?

Bryson frowned and answered, The child was buried at that time.

Lies!

After her child passed, not only was there no grave, but she was left in water for four full years.

If she had not seen that lucky charm today, she would likely stay unaware her whole life.

Her child not only died, but she was also tricked into raising the mistresss child for four full years.

Eliana looked at the man with only hate left in her eyes.

Bryson, you are heartless!

Before Bryson could reply, Althea stepped forward to act kindly.

Eliana, dont blame Bryson. This idea was mine back then. If you want to blame someone, blame me.

And Hera is not only my child, but she is also your child, dont worry. I will not fight with you.

Clearly, they were the ones who had done all the wrong things.

Now they showed this fake look.

Althea, you are the mistress; what right do you have to fight with me?

As long as I do not divorce Bryson for one day, you will always be that third party who breaks other peoples families!

At the same time her words ended, Hera suddenly ran out and strongly grabbed her thigh.

Bad woman! Not allowed to scold my mom!

The childs strength was not great, but it still brought deep pain into her heart.

She had always treated Hera as her own child, but did not expect to raise an ungrateful child.

Before, she always planned to take her away, but now it was not needed.

Bryson, she pushed him aside.

The daughter did not want any more.

Althea stepped forward again, pretending to be kind, pulling the child to say sorry to Eliana.

Eliana, children speak without thinking. Dont keep it in mind.

As long as you truly take good care of Hera, the child will surely accept you.

Bryson pulled the mother and child and said, Forget it. No need to explain so much, you did nothing wrong.

Since she cannot understand, let her stay home alone and calm down.

Bryson took them and left, and also told the helpers in the house to leave.

Before leaving, he also switched off the electricity in the house.

Eliana knew Bryson used this to show her who had control in this house.

In the past, Eliana told Bryson she feared the dark the most.

Now, Bryson used her deepest weakness to hurt her.

It turned out that everything, once honestly shown, could really become knives that hurt her.

Before, she did not understand, but this time the pain was enough.

She had learned her lesson.

Since she felt pain, Bryson and the others should not expect things to stay easy.

Eliana sent a message to Jared.

[I will give you another big surprise, Hera is not my real child. Bryson not only cheated during the marriage, but he also had another marriage.]

Very quickly, the man replied at once.

[Alright, I will help you bring Bryson down completely.]

Since she suffered ten parts, Bryson and the others must also take eight parts!

Eliana was locked up for a full day and night.

She did not wait for Bryson; instead, Althea came to the door.

Unlike Elianas weak state, Althea looked bright and smug as she said, You saw it, in this kind of choice between two. Bryson will always trust me.

Today, you dissected your own childs body. How did it feel? Does your heart ache to the point of breaking?

Elianas face turned pale, she suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked coldly, How did you know? Was all of this done by you? Wasnt it!

The fake expression on Altheas face disappeared completely; only endless cruelty stayed.

She spoke lightly, Yes, I did it.

Back then, Bryson gave me the childs funeral matter. I felt sorry for you having no daughter, so I sank the childs body into the pond behind the villa, letting your child stay by your side for four years.

This time as well, I had people bring the body out, and I personally sent it to you. Speaking of it, you should thank me. Otherwise, you would stay unaware for your whole life.

Eliana, I have treated you kindly.

Every word Althea said felt like a knife stabbing Elianas heart.

Her real daughter, after passing, did not even have a grave, yet she foolishly raised the mistresss child for four years.

If her daughters spirit was still around, seeing her own mother treat others so well, yet ignore her, how painful would it be?

And the one who caused all of this was Althea!

In an instant, only strong killing intent stayed in Elianas eyes. She took the fruit knife from the bedside table and moved to attack her.

Althea, you made my daughter die in pain, then you also cannot live!

Before the knife went into Altheas body, she shouted loudly first. Bryson, Eliana wants to kill me, save me!

The next moment, Bryson showed up behind her, while shielding Althea, with the other hand pushing Eliana down to the floor.

Have you lost your mind?! Trying to kill someone at home, Eliana, do you want to become a killer and go to prison!

Eliana was hit until her ears rang, buzzing.

Before, the wives in that group saw that she had no family support, so they picked on her everywhere.

There was even a time she got slapped.

After Bryson found out, he went to the other persons house that same night, cut off the other persons hand, and forced the other persons company to go bankrupt.

So it was not because of love, it was only because the one who bullied her was not Althea.

Eliana raised her gaze and looked straight at him, asking, Bryson, Althea is not as easy and gentle as you think. Just now, she told me herself. Our child was thrown into the water in the backyard for four years. If you dont believe, you can look at the surveillance in the room!"

Altheas heart grew tight; she did not expect there was a camera set up in the bedroom.

Bryson frowned, just about to talk, when he saw Hera standing by the door.

Bryson called her over.

Hera, were you outside the whole time? You tell Dad what just happened in the room? Who is lying?

Hera raised her eyes to the three adults ahead of her, then pointed at Eliana and said, Dad, it was Mommy Eliana who is lying.

Elianas heart dropped hard.

This was the child she had taken care of for four years, truly heartless.

Hera, mom always reminded you, a person should be truthful, you were not. One day, you will answer for what you did.

Bryson felt displeased with Elianas present state and said coldly, Stop, even a child you want to frighten, you still wont accept your bad intent?

What you said is true. A person should be truthful; you were not, so you must also take the punishment.

Eliana had not even responded when the maids had already rushed forward and pushed her down to kneel on the floor.

If you lie, you should be punished with slaps, which also shows a good example to the child.

99 slaps, not a single one can be skipped.

Without allowing Eliana to say anything, the maids hit her hard, and she only felt her face burning with pain.

By the 33rd slap, blood had come from the corner of Elianas mouth.

At the 66th slap, her face had puffed up like a pigs head, and she could no longer speak properly.

By the last, 99th slap, Eliana had already been left with only half her strength, falling to the ground in deep sadness.

She watched the mans back as it slowly moved farther away.

The promises he once gave were also close to disappearing.

Eliana, marry me. I will not let you suffer any pain.

Eliana, your younger brother is my younger brother too. I will care for him for life.

Eliana, lets have a child. I will love her like a little princess.

Bryson, ah, Bryson, not one of those promises from before had you fulfilled.

If she had one more chance, she would rather die together with her younger brother than marry him.

Eliana lay unconscious on the bed for a full day and night.

When she woke, she was still a little confused.

Bryson was applying medicine to her at the bedside.

When she first entered the house, she had been slapped by Celia for doing something wrong, and at that time, Bryson had also sat by her bed like this to treat her.

Back then, she could see the pain in his eyes, but now?

Was it guilt?

Before Eliana could speak, Bryson spoke first.

You are an adult. You should be a role model for the child, dont use such lies and framing tricks again.

Eliana smiled weakly.

The man did not even verify; he only listened to one side and convicted her.

Did he trust that mother and daughter so much?

Bryson, you didnt see it yourself; on what grounds do you say I am lying?

Brysons hand paused while applying the medicine. Eliana, children do not lie.

Even if she really lied to me, what you should think about is why she didnt stand by you. After all, you raised her for four years, didnt you?

Eliana turned her gaze away and stopped looking at him.

Yes, if her own daughter were still alive, she would never treat her like this.

It was just a pity her child had died and would never return.

And the real culprit was still free.

Eliana pushed Bryson aside and said coldly, Im a bit tired; you should go out first.

Her attitude was so distant that Bryson did not bother to stay.

He stood up and turned to leave.

Eliana took out her phone and checked the time.

There were still two and a half days left; she could leave and endure a little longer.

Eliana slept drowsily through another afternoon, and at night she was woken by a call from the funeral home.

Miss Hamilton, we finally reached you. Your younger brothers ashes have already been taken by a woman sent by your husband, we are informing you.

Eliana, who had just been half-asleep, immediately became fully awake.

A woman? What is her name? Is it Althea?

The person on the other end checked and replied, Yes, it is that name.

Eliana felt uneasy, and she lost control.

Those are my younger brothers ashes. On what grounds did you give them to someone else without my permission?

The staff explained, Miss Hamilton, your younger brothers ashes have been kept with us for too long. Our space is limited, and we have been calling you, but you didnt answer, so we contacted your husband.

After saying this, the staff gave no further explanation and hung up.

The reason the call could not go through was that she had been unconscious.

Now that she had just regained some awareness, what awaited her was such bad news.

She called Bryson again and again, but he never picked up.

In the end, Eliana had no choice but to change clothes and go to the company to find him.

Since the swelling on her face had still not gone down, it drew a lot of attention when she walked into the company.

Isnt that Mrs. Snyder? Why does her face look so puffed up like a pig?

I heard she got jealous of Miss Althea, and after President Snyder found out the truth, he slapped her 99 times.

Tsk. I knew it, theres no ugly duckling turning into a swan. Even if she married President Snyder, her life is worse than ours.

The harsh voices made Eliana pause. She turned around and looked at them coldly.

The employees lowered their heads and became quiet.

So, in the eyes of these outsiders, everyone knew Bryson did not love her.

Eliana did not bother with them. She turned and went upstairs.

Before she entered the office, she heard loud voices from the lounge nearby.

This time, being chosen as an environmental ambassador is all thanks to Miss Hamilton. If she hadnt kindly donated her younger brothers ashes, I wouldnt have had this chance.

The host smiled and asked, It seems Miss Althea and Mrs. Snyder are very close. Otherwise, why would she donate her own younger brothers ashes to be turned into bread to feed seagulls?

Outside the door, Elianas knees gave way, and she dropped to the floor.

The secretary behind her was also shocked. Maam, why are you here?

The meeting room door opened. Eliana stared at the fake person inside and demanded, My younger brothers ashes You turned them into bread to feed seagulls, didnt you?

Brysons face showed slight unease when he spoke to the media.

Thats all for todays interview. I have some personal matters to deal with, so I wont keep you any longer.

When the reporters left, they went past Eliana with a look of pity.

Now, even strangers saw her as pitiful.

After everyone had gone, Bryson stepped forward and tried to explain.

Eliana, Althea needs a public image to depend on. Your younger brothers remains happen to provide a chance. It can promote environmental ideas and also allow her to appear before the public openly.

When someone dies, nothing remains. This way, at least your younger brother can be known by everyone and praised as a hero. Isnt that a good thing?

Bryson moved closer, intending to help her up, but she pushed him away hard.

Bryson, stop saying all these grand words!

Thats my younger brother. If you want to support Althea, why dont you use your own familys ashes? What right do you have to use my brothers?

The child was not hers, and her younger brother was gone.

Now, she couldnt even keep his ashes.

She no longer wanted to live such a painful life.

She struck him wildly, but Bryson, irritated, pushed her away.

Have you lost your mind? Even if the country recognizes Althea as an environmental ambassador, what are you making a scene for?

Its already done. The ashes are gone. What else do you want?

Eliana, the only person you can depend on now is me. If you keep causing trouble like this, dont blame me for not wanting you anymore!

Eliana mockingly laughed.

Yes, she had nothing left. There was nothing more she could lose.

She lifted her gaze and looked straight at the man with deep hatred.

Bryson, those who betray true feelings will suffer for it.

You will pay for what youve done. You definitely will.

For some reason, when Bryson met Elianas eyes, his heart suddenly felt uneasy.

It felt as if she had truly given up, as if she no longer wanted him.

But soon, he convinced himself.

No, Eliana cared about love the most. She could never leave him. She was just too emotional right now.

But to secure his position as the head of the family, he still ordered people to take Eliana home and lock her up.

He said Eliana needed to settle down.

That night, Bryson did not return home and instead took Althea to another state to travel.

Meanwhile, Eliana was in the backyard, burning all the things they once had, one by one.

The necklace Bryson had given her melted.

The wedding photos they took together were ripped.

The love letters he once wrote were burned.

Everything in her life related to Bryson, she burned it all away.

The strong firelight shone on Elianas face as she slowly rose.

All of this needed to end.

But to her surprise, the moment she got up, Hera ran over from the side and pushed her into the pond.

Eliana could not swim; although the pond was not deep, it could still take her life.

Eliana desperately called out for help, but Hera spoke coldly from the edge.

The helpers have all left. No one will come to save you.

You took away dad, made my mom become the mistress, then you should die.

Elianas heart felt like it was held tight by a big hand, hurting and shaking.

This was the child she raised for four years, truly not even as good as a dog.

After struggling for who knew how long, Eliana finally closed her eyes, and her body slowly sank down.

The water in the pond was very cold; her child, who died, stayed there for four years, must have been very cold, right?

After Eliana woke up again, she was already inside the hospital.

The one who had rescued her was Jared.

Jared had gone to another place two days earlier, had just returned, and learned about what happened to Eliana.

When he went to the Snyder family, he happened to witness that moment.

Eliana had just tried to turn her body when a sharp pain came from her lower belly.

Jared walked closer and said, You just had a miscarriage, dont move.

Eliana looked at the man in shock. Miscarriage?

The doctor said you stayed in the water too long, there was not enough oxygen, being able to survive is already lucky, the child could not be saved.

Eliana shut her eyes in pain.

Four years earlier, her child had died.

Now, her child had been ended by the mistresss child through her own hands.

Bryson, is this what you wanted?

Eliana felt pain rise again and again in her chest. She held it down and asked, How is the divorce matter set up?

Jared placed the court summons into Elianas hand.

Send this out. Once the court hearing starts, this marriage has to end.

Tears fell from the sides of Elianas eyes as she gripped the court summons hard.

Alright, this matter, I will send it myself.

My younger brothers ending, the cause of that childs death four years ago, and this childs life, they must give an answer too.

This time, I will definitely not be soft-hearted. I want justice for myself and my family.

And Bryson and them must also pay the price!
