Chapter 7
Seeing the regret in Eric’s eyes, I felt absolutely nothing inside. Even in our earliest times together, my emotions for him had already faded completely.
I raised my gaze and nonchalantly walked by him. “Eric, I want you to leave right now!”
A vein throbbed on Eric’s forehead, and his eyes burned with anger.
After all, I’d always tiptoed around him and never had the guts to talk to him like that before.
“Amy, you’re just the Basom family’s bought bride. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”
I looked at Henry with indifference. He knew exactly who I was.
As expected, he became furious.
“You scoundrel!
“Do you think Amy would have agreed to marry into the Basom family just for a mere 15 million dollars if it weren’t for the Basom family’s kindness?”
Oliver glanced at me with surprise, and I met his gaze with a smile.
I hail from the enigmatic Fertility Village. Every century, the village chooses one woman to marry into a powerful family. Prominent families must offer high bids for this privilege.
In his younger days, Henry helped the last chosen Fertility Woman, which

is how he secured this opportunity.
Women possess the capability to not only produce healthy children but also influence a man’s well–being.

I just didn’t expect how badly things would turn out for me in my first two lifetimes.
Upon discovering the truth, Eric looked like he’d been hit with a brick. I caught a flicker of jealousy in Jessica’s eyes.
I intentionally raised an eyebrow and gave her a smile. Her expression instantly changed, but she swiftly regained her composure.
She softly grasped Eric’s hand and said in a gentle tone, “Eric, even if you’re not the family head anymore, I’ll still love you!
“Besides, I’m pregnant with your child…‘
I was shocked. How was this even possible? Jessica definitely couldn’t have kids in her past life.
At that moment, Eric finally responded, a flicker of conflict in his eyes, but he still carefully helped Jessica to her feet.
Right then, Oliver signaled to his assistant, who passed a document folder to Eric. “The young lady next to you is someone quite extraordinary!”
Eric appeared confused but opened the folder. Immediately, his face went pale. A vein bulged on his temple as he clenched the folder tightly.
Jessica’s face tightened with worry as she leaned in for a look, but Eric slapped her hard.
“You bitch!” he shouted. “I treated you so well, and yet you’ve been cheating on me!”

Jessica shielded her face, her expression full of fear.
“No… I haven’t…” she pleaded. “Eric, you must trust me…

I looked at the photos and my eyes went wide in surprise. They depicted Jessica with a range of men, from young college guys to older gentlemen, and the explicit nature of the images left me stunned.
Just as I was about to pick some up, Oliver gently placed his hand over my eyes, speaking in a soothing tone as if calming a child.
“Behave, honey. These are too inappropriate. I’ll show you mine when we get home.”
Recalling the accidental brush against his stomach, I swallowed hard and quietly murmured, “Okay.”
Jessica lost control, ripping the photos apart in a frenzy. She then latched onto Eric’s legs, pleading desperately.
“I made a mistake, Eric! I was naive back then. I’m even carrying your child! You can’t leave me!”
Eric glared at her. He yanked her by the hair and dragged her away.
The room went silent. Only Henry sighed, looking tired. He knew his eldest grandson had been ruined by a scheming woman.
Yet, a chill of unease settled deep within me.
Adam, who usually trailed behind them, was absent today. I can’t shake the feeling that he’s plotting something significant behind the scenes.
