----------
"For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered."

Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. 

She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough!

"Divorce me this instant."

What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! 

On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery.

"Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. 

With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her.

But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing.

"I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!"

Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again.

Get Rid of Him

Under Talia's confused gaze, Liliana continued explaining. She wanted to make sure her second cousin heard everything before she brought up the plan to avenge her mother.

Placing her gaze on Talia's face, Liliana said, "I heard something from my second uncle earlier. It's really shocking. I've never thought that... I was living in a lie."

Stunned by Liliana's choice of words, Talia abruptly asked, "What is it, Lili? What do you mean?"

Talia frowned, unable to make any conjectures following Liliana's statement. Her eyes went to the letters and to her cousin's complicated gaze.

Pursing her lips, Liliana opened her crossbody bag and took out the divorce certificate she received from Albert yesterday. She handed it to Talia, for her to take a look at it herself.
