Chapter 3
After the examination, the doctor instructed me to rest.
I finally found out the reason why Patrick got angry.
The child died, and David, filled with grief and anger, banned Jessica across the internet.
Jessica mistakenly thought that I was seeking revenge and exaggeratedly went to Patrick to
complain.
Patrick finally laid his hands on me.
Not only that.
Patrick revoked my shareholder status at Harper Group and replaced me with Jessica.
To make her happy, I even took pictures of a whole twenty stars, naming them after Jessica.
During the interview, Jessica proudly showed off the diamond ring on her hand.
“I never thought of myself as a mistress. If a woman can’t keep her husband’s heart, then she
deserves to live a lonely life.”
“Moreover, the current Mrs. Harpe

Harper family’s money, whereas I
am different. I had only genuine love for Patrick.”
The comments below have polarized.
A group of brainless fanatics mentioned my account.
Various insults and abuses made me give way to Jessica.
I watched, but I only felt irony.
After all these years, Patrick’s tricks to coax girls haven’t changed at all.
Back in the day, he used to treat me the same way.
After learning about my family’s poverty and never having celebrated a birthday.
He gave me twenty gifts on my twentieth birthday.
From a one–year–old golden lock to a twenty–year–old villa.

I still remember that day when he held my hand under the starry sky.
“Gracie, I lost my parents at a young age. In the future, I will treat your mother as if she were my own, and together we will build the happiest family.”
I melted in his affectionate eyes.
I also naively thought that I had found someone to spend my life with.
But later, the novelty wore off.
Patrick quickly fell in love with someone else.
During a date, he forgot about me on the mountain while he was trying to give flowers to his
mistress.
That day, I walked hundreds of kilometers on the mountain road back home alone.
A pair of feet were rubbed until they bled, leaving lifelong scars on the calves that were difficult to
erase.
Actually, at that time, I should have understood.
This man was selfish and passionate, and he would never set his heart on anyone.
That contract was just an excuse he found for his infidelity.
With that in mind, I left a comment under Jessica’s video.
“Wishing you a hundred years of harmonious union and the early birth of a noble child.”
Not long after the message was sent, Jessica deleted the video.
Immediately after, came the phone call that Patrick questioned.
I did not answer.
But instead, he treated me the same way he usually did, calmly blocking me.
Then, I suddenly remembered that today was the day my mother was cremated.
I explained the situation and completed the discharge procedures in advance.
The attending doctor was worried and couldn’t resist me, so he took the initiative to accompany me.
When the staff handed the urn to me.

I did not feel the overwhelming grief as I had imagined.
I only felt that the shackle that had bound me for ten years.
At that moment, it was completely severed.
I sighed softly and bid farewell to the doctor before returning alone to the Harper family to pack my
belongings.
As I entered the living room, I saw Patrick and Jessica sitting on the sofa.
When she saw me coming back, Jessica hurriedly zipped up her dress.
But her body covered in red marks still revealed the intensity of the recent battle.
I was not sad, I was not angry.
He walked into the bedroom expressionless, as if he hadn’t seen anything.
When I came out, Jessica had already left.
Only Patrick sat there drinking alone.
When he saw me coming out, he slowly lifted his head.
The dim light shone on his face, and no expression could be seen.
“Gracie, where did you go today?”
“It had nothing to do with you.”
I didn’t want to say much, but Patrick suddenly dropped the wine glass.
He walked briskly towards me.
“What are you pretending to be pure and innocent for? Don’t think I don’t know you went to fool
around with another man.”
“Gracie, can’t you bear loneliness like this? Are you blaming me for neglecting you during this
period? If that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your
your wish!”
With that, Patrick roughly tore open my clothes and pulled me towards the bed.
I was startled by his actions.
She struggled and said, “Patrick, are you crazy? I just gave birth to a baby!”

Patrick, who had already lost his sanity, couldn’t listen to anything and bit my shoulder.
I forcefully pushed Patrick and slapped him.
Angered Patrick, unwilling to back down, directly grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it.
A loud bang.
A drop of fresh blood slowly slid down from my forehead.
Patrick hesitated for a moment, instinctively coming over to support me.
“Why didn’t you know how to hide…”
I stumbled back a few steps, wanting to speak.
But the body couldn’t support it and fell down.
