Chloe and a group of young ladies
approached me, sneering. Chloe said, “So
what if you married my brother? You’re just standing here, looking at him and the woman he really loves. As I told you,
Olivia is the love of his life. You’re just a rebound from his heartbreak. If I were you, I would have left here long ago! Have you no shame?”
I wanted to leave, but they kept pushing me.“Are you deaf?“”We’re talking
to you!”
Someone shoved me hard!
“Bang!” I fell onto the tall champagne tower. The glasses shattered, white wine
mixing with my blood. Everyone looked at

- me.
Caleb rushed over, his eyes filled
with fury. He knelt beside me, calling for
a doctor. Then, he turned to the crowd,
his voice cold.“Who did this?!”
Everyone was silent. A bodyguard ran over.“Mr. Hayes, Ms. Olivia says she has a stomachache. Please go check on her!”
Caleb didn’t let go of me. Instead, he frowned slightly.“Is it serious?”
The bodyguard was anxious. “She is
writhing in pain.”
Caleb hesitated. He looked at
me.”Sarah, I…”
I sat up, my expression calm.“Yes, I know. She’s spoiled and sensitive to pain.

And you’re used to taking care of her.”
He was speechless. I stood up unsteadily.“It’s okay, just go. She needs a doctor more than I do. I’ll be fine.”
He seemed flustered. I’d always been so understanding and generous, but this time, he hated myexcessive generosity. He couldn’t even see himself in my eyes. When did things change?
Olivia cried out in pain, giving Caleb no time to think. He left without
hesitation.“Sarah, I’ll be back soon and
make it up to you.”
Watching him rush to Olivia, I
sneered. Chloe and the others thought I
was heartbroken.

“Hmph, I thought he’d stay for you. Turns out I overestimated you.”
“If you have any self–respect, get out of the Hayes family!”
I ignored them, went to a servant’s room to clean my wounds. Then, I changed my clothes and left.
When I got home, I packed my stuff and left the divorce papers on the table before leaving. As I opened the door, I saw Chloe.
“What are you doing? Caleb sent me to take care of you. I can’t believe him! And I searched everywhere for you! Here‘ s the medicine.”
“I don’t need it. Give it to Olivia.” I

tried to leave. Seeing my suitcase, Chloe grabbed my arm.“Where are you going?”
“I’m leaving,” I said calmly.“He loves
Olivia, and you want her to be your sister-
in–law. I divorced him.”
Chloe was stunned. I had always loved Caleb. She thought it was a trick.
“Stop acting! I know how much you love my brother. You’re just trying to play hard to get! It won’t work on him!”
“The divorce papers are on the table. Check it. Chloe, don’t you want me to
leave him?”
She released my hand, furious.“Of course I do! I’m Just too happy! And
Caleb will be happy, too!” She said the last

I didn’t look back.“Congratulations to
both of you.” I left. Chloe felt a sudden
panic.
“Where are you going? Aren’t you
gonna tell Caleb about this?”
I paused, looking at the villa. I’d
pretended to love Caleb for four years,
sacrificed my dreams and myself for him.
I’d been a dutiful wife, but received no
respect.
I smiled, genuinely and freely.“I’m
going to live my own life.”
From now on, everything here was
not about me. Goodbye, Hayes family.
Goodbye, Caleb. I waved, disappearing
