My Ex-Husband Went Insane After Watching Me Marry My First Love

The award-winning housekeeper purposely left detergent on the floor while mopping, making me, five months pregnant, tumble down the stairs.

The doctor tried calling Noah Garcia over thirty times, but he never answered.

I had no choice but to bear the pain and sign the operation consent form on my own.

By the time I woke up, my once-swollen belly had become flat.

Before I could even mourn the loss, I heard the nurse speaking quietly with the doctor.

That pregnant woman inside is really unfortunate. She was five months pregnant when she fell down the stairs, but her husbands phone couldnt be reached at all.

Since the delay took too much time, the baby who couldve lived also lost breath and died. When the doctor called once more, the husband was busy messing around with his own maid!

After hearing that, tears quickly rolled down my face.

Before I passed out, I kept making up reasons for Noah in my mind many times.

Maybe work kept him too occupied to pick up the call.

Maybe his phone died, or maybe something happened near him.

But in the end, the truth was too painful!

I didnt want to accept it, but the doctor suddenly played a recording outside the room.

Noahs cold voice rang from outside the door.

Didnt she already sign the operation consent form? Im helping the maid change clothes right now. If the baby is gone, then its gone.

After he spoke, a quiet moan sounded from the other side of the phone.

A second later, the recording suddenly stopped with a beep.

Thinking about the baby the maid caused to die, I pressed my nails deeply into my palm until blood came out.

Then I called my fathers number.

Dad, Ive agreed to the divorce and remarriage. I only need you to accept one request.

The man on the other end of the call agreed right away.

My eyes turned red as I made a promise in my heart.

I would make Noah and that so-called top housekeeper suffer together in hell!

I held up my sore, weak body and asked the doctor for the final thing the baby left behind in this world.

After the cremation, I gently put it inside a jar before turning back toward the villa.

The moment I walked in, I saw the bright red decorations in the living room.

While I was fighting for my life on the operating table, the two of them were enjoying a candlelight dinner!

Millie Spencer smiled as she brought broccoli to Noahs mouth.

And Noah willingly ate it.

He used to hate broccoli the most.

Back when we first started dating, I once tried feeding Noah broccoli, but he coldly pushed my hand away and walked off after shaking his sleeve.

Later, he apologized to me and said that his mother, Ariana Garcia, used to ignore what he liked and forced him to eat broccoli.

That became part of his childhood trauma.

But now, when Millie fed him broccoli, he ate it without any hesitation.

I froze where I stood, and the anger inside me almost burned me completely.

Only after a long time did they notice I was there.

Noah quickly pulled Millie behind him, his eyes full of caution as he looked at me.

I suddenly thought about the past, when he used to shield me behind him the same way.

Noah once told me hed always keep me safe.

And he really did.

No matter who came after me, even people from the Garcia family, he always stood in front of me to protect me.

But now, the person beside him had become someone else.

And I became the person he guarded against.

I forced a smile, my eyes dull and empty.

Seeing that, Noah slowly let go of his hand and tried walking toward me.

But at that moment, Millie spoke first.

Maam, please dont get the wrong idea. President Garcia only thought you looked upset at the hospital, so he asked me to practice your fifth anniversary surprise early.

He really cares about you. Every meal on this table was cooked by President Garcia himself.

Millie looked at Noah with worry all over her face while speaking.

A soft emotion also appeared in Noahs expression.

I only found it funny and pulled the corners of my lips.

Housekeeper Millie, what right do you have to step into the problems between Noah and me?

The detergent you failed to clean from the stairs caused my childs death, and I still havent dealt with you for that!

Millie stayed calm, and the way she looked at me even carried disrespect.

Maam, I already explained that matter to President Garcia. I truly didnt mean to do it.

President Garcia is kind enough not to blame me. She can forgive me, too, cant you? After all, I work hard to support myself, unlike her, who depends on President Garcia.

My whole body shook from the mocking look in her eyes.

The next second, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face!

So what if Noah forgives you? You killed my child, yet you dont even feel sorry. My baby never even got the chance to see this world once!

I wont forgive you. Im sending you to prison!

After saying that, I shakily pulled out my phone and prepared to call the police.

But Noah knocked my phone to the floor in one quick move, his brows tightly pulled together as he shouted:

Brielle! Are you done causing problems yet?

I already told you I forgave Millie, so why are you still targeting her? It was only a child. We can have another one later. Cant you be more understanding?

Noah shoved my hand so hard that it instantly swelled.

My phone also broke into pieces.

Hearing Noahs shameless words, my whole body shook badly, as Id collapse at any second.

I fell down the stairs, yet he never came to the hospital or answered my calls.

Instead, he had a candlelight dinner with the housekeeper.

Our baby died, but he didnt care at all. He even protected the person responsible!

The way Noah looked at me was full of arrogance and disgust.

It was like he was sure Id step back for his sake.

After all, I chased after him for three whole years before Noah finally got together with me.

For him, I threw away the pride I had as the eldest daughter of the Simpson family.

The love letters I sent to Noah could probably circle Casa Grande many times.

To win his love, I even sincerely prayed to God.

No matter when he called, I always answered him.

Even after we became a couple, I was always the first to give in whenever we fought.

I lowered myself too much for him.

But now, I didnt want to bow my head anymore.

I looked at Noah coldly and let out a mocking smile.

Noah, do you really think you can protect Millie? Did you forget Im the eldest daughter of the Simpson family?

Noahs brows tightened deeply.

Brielle, for something this small, you want to involve the Simpson family? I already told you she didnt mean it. What exactly do you want before you stop targeting her?

That pink diamond you wanted before? Or designer bags and jewelry? Even shares from Garcia Corporation? You can ask for anything you want.

Watching Noah desperately protect Millie almost made me laugh until I cried.

So this was how Noah treated the woman he truly cared about.

He was even willing to give away Garcia Corporations shares.

After a while, I looked at them calmly and spoke without emotion.

Noah, if you really want to protect Millie, then fine. Just sign this.

After speaking, I opened the divorce papers I prepared earlier to the signature page and placed them in front of Noah.

Looking at the document before him, Noah frowned deeply. He didnt sign right away and instead tried flipping to the first page to read it.

The sound of the pages turning felt especially harsh.

Noahs brows pulled together even tighter.

Right when Noah was about to read the words divorce agreement, Millie tugged lightly on his sleeve.

President Garcia, I think someone from the company contacted you earlier. I forgot to tell you.

Hearing her words, Noah didnt even check the papers and signed immediately.

His eyes looked at Millie with concern.

Is your body feeling bad? You dont have to use excuses in front of me.

Millie silently gave a small nod.

Noah quickly lifted her into his arms. Without looking at me once, he turned and walked away.

Brielle, I already signed the paper you wanted. After this, youre not allowed to target Millie over this matter anymore!

Noahs tone sounded very cold.

I looked at the divorce agreement in my hand and smiled as tears quietly rolled down my face.

Five years of marriage ended there.

After wiping my tears dry, I expressionlessly sent a text.

[Dad, he already signed the divorce agreement. Please hurry and handle everything. I want to leave him quickly!]

Dad soon replied.

[After one week, Ill send someone to bring you home.]

I turned around, headed upstairs, and packed my luggage.

Without thinking twice, I threw all the presents and keepsakes Noah gave me into the garbage.

Those items used to stand for Noahs love for me.

Now that Noah meant nothing to me anymore, those things meant nothing to me either.

The next morning, I suddenly smelled a harsh burning scent.

As I frowned and walked out of the room, I discovered sparks coming from the nursery I prepared for the baby in my stomach!

I anxiously ran inside and saw Millie in office clothes, burning the little outfits I made for my baby by hand!

Several damaged longevity locks were also tossed into the flames.

After my baby died, those were the only memories I had left.

But Millie still refused to leave, even though alone!

My anger instantly erased all my calmness.

I didnt even have time to wonder why Millie was doing it. I rushed toward her and tried to snatch the baby clothes from her hands.

But in the end, I was too late.

As soon as the little clothes touched the flames, they quickly caught fire.

I weakly fell to the floor, and only then did I clearly see what the once cozy nursery had become.

Everything inside had been ruined. The crib and toys I prepared were smashed apart.

The walls were badly burned by the fire, and large stains of blood covered them.

The whole place looked like a murder scene.

Right in the middle were the words short-lived ghost written in blood.

My anger made my breathing turn heavy. My eyes turned red as I stared at Millie.

Millie! You actually dared destroy this room!

I shouted loudly, wishing I could kill her right there.

Millie looked at me with cold disrespect and calmly spoke.

I only did this for President Garcias sake. Yesterday, a master passed by and said theres an angry spirit from a short-lived ghost who died unfairly in this villa. It could harm President Garcia.

He told me to destroy the short-lived ghosts room and burn the remaining items too, so I had no choice but to do it.

After speaking, she suddenly laughed once.

Of course, everything I did had President Garcias permission. If youre not happy about it, you can go ask him yourself. Right now, I still need to finish my work, so please dont make trouble for me.

While speaking, she pushed me aside and still planned to continue ruining the room.

The anger inside me completely exploded.

I stopped caring about everything and fiercely slapped Millie across the face.

Get out! Leave right now! Ill never let you touch my childs room again!

I screamed, letting out all the hatred.

Just as I was about to shove Millie out the next second, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed me tightly.

Noah deeply frowned, and the way he looked at me was full of anger.

Brielle, what are you doing? Didnt you promise me yesterday that you wouldnt touch Millie again?

I bit my lip hard until I tasted blood before forcing myself to calm down.

I laughed coldly and shouted, Noah, I agreed to let Millie go because of what happened to my child!

But look at what shes doing now! She killed my child and still calls my child a short-lived ghost! She even burned the few things my child left behind. Im going to kill her!

Noahs body shook as he lifted his head and looked at the once warm childrens room.

Back when I first became pregnant, Noah had been extremely happy.

He even pushed aside the company work and carefully prepared this childs room with me.

We carefully picked every toy and every decoration, afraid that something bad might hurt the child.

The lucky lock charm that had already burned black was personally carved by him.

Five years of marriage, and that was the first time I truly believed Noah and me could stay together forever.

But in only a few days, Noah seemed like a completely different person.

The housekeeper caused our childs death, yet he didnt ask about it or care at all.

He even shared a candlelight dinner with her.

Could five years of love really disappear that fast?

Or maybe he never loved me from the start.

My heart hurt badly, like it was being ripped apart.

Noah noticed how pale I looked, frowned, then quietly sighed.

Forget it. I agreed to let Millie do this, too. Since the things are already burned, let them burn.

The child is already gone. Keeping these things behind isnt good either.

After hearing that, I slowly lifted my head in shock.

At first, I thought the so-called master and short-lived ghost were only lies Millie made to fool people.

But Noah actually believed it too.

Did he forget how much he once waited for this child?

Why could he forget the child so completely after only one day?

At that moment, Noah suddenly looked extremely cold to me.

He was so cruel, so disgusting!

My face turned pale as I slapped Noah hard across the face.

I would never allow Millie to keep ruining the childs things, even if Noah agreed to it!

I used all my strength to shove them away.

Noahs face looked full of fake helplessness.

Brielle, enough. Stop causing trouble. Let Millie handle it, or youll only feel worse when you see these things later.

Hearing him speak only made my anger grow stronger.

I suddenly pulled my hand back, ready to slap Noah again.

Right then, Millie grabbed my wrist tightly, anger all over her face.

I wont let you hurt Noah again!

Right after saying that, she suddenly shoved me down the stairs!

I turned around in shock and saw that Noah wasnt worried about me falling at all, nor did he try to catch me.

Instead, he looked at Millie with eyes full of feeling.

At that moment, my heart completely broke.

With a loud bang, blood sprayed everywhere, and terrible pain spread through my whole body.

My sight slowly darkened, and I passed out.

Right before I lost consciousness, I finally heard Noahs worried voice.

Brielle!

Too bad, I didnt believe him anymore.

While half awake, I felt my body being carried away.

A needle stabbed into my skin, making my mind a little clearer.

Half-conscious, I heard Noah talking to the doctor.

Doctor, after the surgery, make a report saying Brielle is okay.

The doctor answered softly, But President Garcia, Maams injuries are very bad. She recently miscarried, and this fall caused even more damage to her spine. Later on, it may be difficult for her to have children again, and theres also a chance she could become paralyzed...

Before he finished talking, Noah interrupted him with annoyance.

I know her injuries are serious, but the report must say shes okay. Millie didnt push her on purpose. In the end, Brielle is also responsible for this.

If she had done what I told her and allowed Millie to burn those items, none of this wouldve happened. Millie only pushed her because of me. I wont let Brielle use this reason to hurt Millie!

The doctor softly muttered again, like he still wanted to say more.

Noah couldnt wait anymore and openly threatened him.

Youd better remember whose hospital you work in. Garcia Corporation has hospitals across the country. If I want to, you may never work again in the future...

The doctors hands trembled badly, but in the end, he quietly agreed.

Only after Noahs footsteps became distant did my tears finally fall.

Even after so many arguments with Noah, I still never thought he could be this cruel.

Millie pushed me downstairs, but he didnt even care about my condition.

He even planned to help Millie hide the truth.

He really loved Millie.

Then what about me?

I stayed married to him for five years. I was his actual wife.

Did I need to give everything up for their love?

And to Noah, what did our child and I even mean?

Hatred suddenly rushed through my heart.

I didnt know where the strength came from, but I suddenly opened my eyes and stared at the doctor.

Keep the real report for me! Otherwise, the Simpson family wont spare you!

The doctor looked at me in fear, then finally nodded with shaking hands.

Right after that, the medicines effect spread through my body again.

I slowly lost consciousness once more.

Before everything turned dark, I dug my nails deeply into my palm, using the pain to remember this moment.

I was going to use that report to send Millie to prison completely!

I was going to make both Noah and Millie pay for this!

When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in a hospital bed.

The bright ceiling light hurt my eyes as it swayed above me.

Beside me, Millie saw that I was awake and nervously spoke to Noah.

President Garcia, your wife is awake. Should I explain things to her?

Noah quietly nodded.

After seeing that, she turned to me. Her voice sounded sorry, but her eyes secretly carried provocation as she said:

Maam, Im really very sorry. I only acted carelessly for a moment.

I thought you were still trying to hurt President Garcia, so I pushed you down the stairs. If Maam had let me throw away those useless things earlier, this wouldnt have happened.

With only a few words, Millie pushed all the blame onto me.

And Noah, beside her, stayed silent as he agreed with everything.

I laughed coldly and mocked her. This is your apology? You treated my childs belongings like garbage, pushed me down the stairs, and caused me such serious injuries, yet you cant even say sorry?

Who gave you the confidence? Do you think that because Noah protects you, I cant touch you?

I looked straight at her, anger showing in my eyes.

Millie pressed her lips together and softly whispered, Maam, Im sorry. I truly only did this for President Garcia.

While speaking, her eyes slowly became red.

Even now, she was still pushing the blame away!

I only felt endless disgust, and anger rushed through my chest.

Youre still avoiding blame! You're saying its for Noahs sake. What does that have to do with me? The injuries I got after you pushed me downstairs, and my childs belongings you burned, can your simple sorry make up for that?

I grabbed her hair tightly and dragged her in front of me while Millie cried out in pain.

Im sending you to prison!

Millie blinked, and tears quickly rolled down her face.

Maam, please let me go. My parents at home still depend on me. You have money and can stay here to heal. But if I lose my work and go to prison too, my parents are done for!

As she spoke, she tried to kneel in front of me.

I held her hair tightly and raised my hand to slap her.

At that moment, a large hand caught my wrist and forced me to let go of Millies hair.

Noah looked at me coldly and shouted angrily, Brielle, are you done causing trouble?

Look at yourself. Whats the difference between you and a crazy woman now?

The moment he said those words, my whole body froze.

For Millie, Noah actually humiliated me like this!

I stared at him and clenched my teeth tightly.

Noah, she killed our child and pushed me down the stairs, yet you still protect her no matter what. Arent you afraid Ill completely give up on you?

After hearing that, Noah suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at my empty expression, and panic flashed across his face for a second.

The next moment, Noah raised his hand toward me, seeming like he wanted to wipe the tears from my face.

Seeing that, Millie bit her lip and suddenly dropped to her knees in front of me with a loud thud.

Maam, I can accept punishment for what I did. Im begging you, please stop making things hard for President Garcia.

I did everything myself. If you want to send me to prison, Ill accept it too.

As she spoke, Millie heavily bowed her head to me.

Noah deeply frowned, and when he looked at me again, there wasnt any warmth left in his eyes.

Enough! Millie pushed you downstairs because of me. I wont allow you to send her to prison!

His eyes turned cold as he harshly said, I already told someone to make a report saying youre fine. Even if you go to the police station and file a case, nothing will happen.

If you want to use the Simpson familys power, then Ill use my name as your husband to write a settlement letter for Millie!

Noah was forcing me to let this matter go completely.

Otherwise, he would make me lose all dignity in front of everyone!

I tightly curled my hands, my pale face looking terrible.

Noah had already arranged everything.

He wouldnt let me touch Millie at all.

Back when he loved me, people only needed to insult me once.

And he would sue them immediately.

But now, all his love belonged to Millie.

And I became nothing beside the road.

I suddenly lost all my strength as I watched Noah leave with Millie.

Noah didnt know that I still had the real medical report from the doctor.

He also didnt know that even if he used the settlement letter to threaten me, it would soon become useless.

Because after seven more days, the marriage between us would fully end.

He would no longer be able to control my life as my husband!

That night, Noah and Millie didnt return.

I looked at the pictures sent from an unknown number on my phone.

In the photos, Noahs upper body was bare.

And Millie was tightly held in his arms.

She looked at me with a smug smile, just like the message she sent.

[Maam, President Garcia has been feeling upset lately, so I could only comfort him this way. I hope she wont blame me.]

I calmly saved the pictures, then blocked the number.

When I woke up again, I heard noise downstairs.

My heart suddenly tightened.

I quickly ran out, but I was still too late.

The burning flames completely destroyed the childs last remaining things.

Not only that, the once cozy childrens room had turned into a storage room full of random stuff.

Seeing my red eyes, Millie smiled happily.

She hypocritically said, Maam, after all these unlucky things were cleared away, President Garcias condition became much better. Looks like it really worked.

I glared at her and shouted, Do you really think Noah can protect you forever? Put the room back the way it was right now, or get out of this villa!

Right after I spoke, Millie firmly shook her head.

Not only did she refuse, but she also held a familiar urn in her hands.

My eyes instantly widened.

That was the childs ashes urn I brought home from the hospital!

Millie proudly smiled while casually tossing the urn in one hand.

My heart rose and dropped along with it.

I gritted my teeth hard, holding back my anger as I rasped, Give me the urn.

Millie smiled at me and calmly said, I just remembered something. During this cleanup, the dirtiest thing still hasnt been thrown away. If President Garcia gets affected, that would be terrible.

Maam, you should understand, right?

As soon as she finished speaking, the urn slipped from her hand.

I suddenly rushed forward to catch it, but I heavily crashed onto the floor.

In the end, I could only helplessly watch the childs ashes break apart in front of me.

At that moment, I loudly screamed.

I didnt know where I got the strength, but I suddenly stood up from the ground, grabbed Millies hair, and forcefully smashed her head onto the floor.

You should die!

With just one strike, Millies forehead was already covered in blood.

Hatred flashed through her eyes, and just as she wanted to push back, the next second, she suddenly acted like another person. Tears instantly rolled down her face as she begged.

Maam, I truly didnt do it on purpose. I didnt know those were the ashes of you and President Garcias child. Please let me go. Im willing to kneel and say sorry.

As soon as she finished talking, familiar hands tightly stopped me.

I shouted while using my nails to scratch mark after mark onto his body.

But Noah never loosened his grip.

He looked at the bleeding wound on Millies head, pain showing across his face.

Then he looked back at me, his eyes cold and blaming.

Brielle! Exactly how much do you want to destroy this family before youre happy?

Why do you keep hurting Millie? How did you become this cruel?

I almost broke down. She threw our childs ashes onto the floor and even wanted to throw them away. Noah, youre still protecting her like this? In your eyes, what do our child and I even mean?

Noah frowned and looked at the ashes on the floor, his grip loosening a little.

I struggled with all my strength, still trying to go after Millie.

But under Millies begging look, Noah grabbed me again.

Enough! Millie didnt mean to do it either. She only dropped it by accident, just gather it back up.

If you touch Millie again, Ill throw all these ashes into the drain!

The way he looked at me was full of warning.

And his words completely froze my heart.

For Millie, Noah could even throw his own childs ashes into the drain.

I lost all strength and dropped onto the floor.

Seeing this, Noah finally relaxed and was about to comfort me.

But Millie leaned her head out and acted worried as she said, After she lost the child, her emotions became very unstable. These past few days, shes been even harder to control. If she acts like this in front of other people, too, Im afraid Garcia Corporation and Simpson Corporations reputations will be ruined...

After hearing that, Noah frowned.

I didnt even glance at her and only carefully gathered the ashes from the floor.

A dark look appeared in Millies eyes as she continued, I was also wrong for accidentally dropping the ashes. How about I properly teach her etiquette again? That can count as my apology, too.

Seeing the look in her eyes, I laughed coldly.

Youre still not good enough to teach me etiquette!

Right after I said that, Noah frowned.

Brielle, Millie only means well. Why are you acting like this? Besides, you really have become more unstable lately.

The companys annual meeting is coming soon. You need to relearn etiquette and at least understand what Mrs. Garcia should do.

I looked at his cold face, and my thoughts suddenly went back years ago.

Back when Noah had just started loving me, he liked everything about me.

He once said he loved my proud personality the most.

Even after I became Mrs. Garcia, he never asked me to change.

He said, Brielle, you only need to stay proud forever. You never have to change for anyone, because Ill always protect you.

But now, that same protection had turned into a knife aimed straight at me.

Looking at the way Noah and Millie looked at each other, I suddenly understood.

Noah never changed. The only difference was that the person he loved was no longer me.

My proud side naturally became something ugly in his eyes.

Thinking about that, I no longer had the energy to argue and only coldly said, I can choose not to attend the annual meeting, but Ill never accept Millies so-called etiquette lessons!

Without waiting for Noah to answer, I forced my aching body up and kept the last bit of pride on my face.

Holding the ashes, I walked upstairs.

I thought the matter had already ended.

But unexpectedly, just before sunrise, while I was sleeping in pain, a bucket of cold water suddenly splashed over me.

The freezing water rushed into my nose, making me cough hard at once.

Before I could react, Noahs bodyguards rushed into the room.

They grabbed my arms tightly and dragged me outside.

Millie stood before me with a training stick in her hand and a smile on her face.

Maam, dont worry. Ill properly help you.

Today, well first practice standing and walking posture.

After saying that, she forced me against the wall and locked me in a painful position.

The wall was covered with countless tiny needles.

As Millie moved, the needles pierced deeper into my body.

Only then did I realize Millie wanted to torture me under the excuse of etiquette training.

I struggled with all my strength, but Noahs bodyguards held me down tightly.

With a loud bang, they slammed me hard against the wall, and the tiny needles dug deeper into my skin.

Ugh! I couldnt stop a painful cry from coming out.

Millie waved her hand, telling the bodyguards to stop for a moment.

She looked at me with disgust in her eyes.

Maam, you cant even handle simple standing practice? Looks like the training still isnt enough.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed me harder against the wall.

Dark blood slowly stained my wet clothes.

Coldness and piercing pain spread through my whole body.

I used the last of my strength to break free, but Millie tightly held me down.

A cruel smile appeared on her face as she placed a pair of shoes before me.

Looks like you cant wait to learn walking posture. I specially prepared these shoes for you. Youll definitely like them.

While speaking, Millie lightly shook the shoes.

The light reflected off the things inside, letting me see them clearly.

Those shoes were actually full of broken glass pieces!

Millie wanted to ruin my feet completely!

I became enraged, and the anger immediately buried the pain in my body.

I didnt know where the strength came from, but when Millie bent down to put the shoes on me, I kicked her away hard.

Millie cried out and fell heavily onto the ground.

In the next second, Noah hurried over.

The moment he saw the injury on Millies hand, he instantly lost his temper.

Brielle! Youre becoming worse and worse!

Seeing the worry on his face, the pain made my reaction slower.

So Noah had been standing there the whole time, watching Millie torture me.

Even when I was forced against the wall covered in needles, I was hurting so badly that I cried out.

He still ignored it.

But Millie only got a small scrape.

Yet Noah rushed over to her in panic.

I pulled at my lips and stopped looking at them, then turned around to leave.

Behind me, Noahs cold voice suddenly sounded.

Brielle, did I say you can leave? You really disappoint me too much!

I already told you, stop using your rude and controlling attitude on Millie!

Millie sincerely did this for your own good. She wanted you to learn manners, and this is how you treat her? You fought back and even shoved her down! Whether you want to learn today or not, you still must learn it!

As soon as he finished speaking, Noahs bodyguards stepped in front of me.

He tightly held me down and forced those shoes filled with broken glass onto my feet.

After that, the bodyguards tied my hands and dragged me forward by force.

The sharp glass instantly sliced through my feet, and even my breath carried the smell of blood.

I tried to struggle, but they only treated me even more roughly.

The glass pierced deeper into my feet until they slowly became numb.

Right before I passed out, Noahs smiling face suddenly appeared in my mind.

Brielle, you can stay proud forever. Ill always protect you.

He wasnt my protection, he was a liar

When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital.

My feet were wrapped in bandages and raised high.

Noah rested beside my bed, dark circles under his eyes making it look like he had stayed there for a long time.

Not long after, he suddenly woke from sleep.

The moment he saw my eyes open, he immediately pulled me into his arms and said in a shaking voice.

Brielle, you finally woke up. I didnt know there was broken glass inside those shoes. Please forgive me, okay?

He hurriedly placed the apology gifts he had prepared long ago in front of me.

Every item was expensive, but I didnt even spare them a glance.

I only calmly asked, Wheres Millie?

Noah paused for a second before softly saying, Brielle, Millie already knows she was wrong. She didnt mean to do it. After hearing you got hurt, she cried for a long time, too. For the sake of these gifts, can you forgive her?

I mockingly laughed.

Noah, Millie almost ruined my feet forever. Do you really think Id believe she didnt know there was broken glass inside those shoes?

The wall she made me stand against during posture training was covered in needles she prepared. Did you really not notice them? Or did you just pretend not to see?

Noah clearly didnt expect me to speak so coldly.

He frowned and said, Brielle, you really misunderstood Millie. Shes not that kind of person.

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang.

In just a second, Noahs expression completely changed.

He stared at me with dark eyes and clenched his teeth.

Brielle, I already told you Millie isnt that kind of cruel person. Why did you still have someone kidnap her?

I frowned. Noah, I just woke up. How could I even

Before I could finish, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me off the hospital bed.

My injured foot slammed onto the floor, tearing the wound open again. Pain rushed through my whole body, and blood quickly soaked the bandages red.

My face turned pale from the pain, but Noah didnt even spare me a glance as he dragged me outside.

When I finally understood what was happening, Noah had already taken me to an empty factory.

Several rough-looking men had tightly tied up Millie.

The moment she saw Noah, her eyes suddenly brightened, and tears rolled down her face.

Noah, save me quickly. Im hurting so badly.

She cried helplessly.

Pain appeared in Noahs eyes right away.

Ignoring the injuries on my feet, he dragged me in front of the kidnappers and anxiously said, Let Millie go right now!

I clenched my teeth and said hoarsely, I didnt hire them. This has nothing to do with me.

Not far away, Millie cried again. Noah instantly became angry and harshly slapped my face.

Brielle, are you done causing problems yet? Tell them to release Millie now!

My face instantly became swollen, and my heart completely turned cold.

Seeing that I stayed silent and my eyes looked lifeless, panic suddenly flashed across Noahs face.

He instinctively reached out to help me up, but Millie cried again.

Noah, my stomach hurts so badly. Did something happen to our baby?

The whole abandoned factory suddenly became quiet.

Confusion briefly appeared in Noahs eyes, then his face quickly turned excited.

When he saw that I still refused to speak, he directly shoved me toward the kidnappers and said, Ill trade my wife for her. You can do whatever you want with her. Ill send the fifty million ransom to your account later.

After speaking, he carefully pulled Millie into his arms.

Millie, Ill take you to the hospital right now.

His voice sounded full of happiness, completely ignoring me behind him, who was already close to passing out from losing too much blood.

The kidnappers looked at each other, then secretly glanced toward Millie.

In the end, they actually agreed to Noahs exchange.

I immediately felt something was wrong and forced myself to stay awake, hoarsely shouting, Noah! Dont leave me here! Millie hired these people, Ill die!

Noah never looked back, but his voice carried blame.

Brielle, even now, youre still blaming Millie. Shes pregnant, and I need to take her to the hospital. Besides, these people were hired by you anyway, so nothing will happen to you.

Stay here first. Ill come back for you after Im done.

After saying that, he walked away without turning back at me again.

Once Noah completely disappeared, the kidnappers looked at me and cruelly smiled.

Sorry, Mrs. Garcia. Someone paid us already, and today this place will be where you die.

After speaking, they reached toward me.

Countless punches hit my body.

The next second, a silver knife flashed before my eyes.

Just before it stabbed into me, a familiar voice suddenly shouted, Stop!

I finally let out a breath and weakly collapsed onto the floor.

After saving me, I pushed away the people trying to help and shakily stood up.

I placed the divorce papers, the recording and report from when Noah paid the doctor before, the video of Millie hurting me during etiquette training, and the pair of blood-covered etiquette shoes into a corner of the abandoned factory.

I knew Noah would surely come back to search the factory.

I also knew that once he saw those things, he would suffer deeply.

But none of that had anything to do with me anymore.

I was going to keep my promise to Dad and prepare for the wedding next month.

As for Noah and Millie, I wanted them to suffer in hell and never be part of my life again.
