[COMPLETED]
----------
"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

Ms. Tang and a driver waited for Old Master Ding, Talia and Liliana's arrival at the airport. It was a little over one when the three of them walked out of the busy airport.

They immediately headed to Springfield Town. Albert had been notified of their arrival in the country.

"Grandpa, are you sure you don't want to go to the hotel first?" asked Liliana, her voice imbued in concern.

Even though Old Master Ding got his sleep, Liliana was still worried due to the long flight. The differences in hours between the two time zones also got her thinking.

Old Master Ding showed a gentle smile to Liliana, "I'm fine. Talia and I will just stay in the car for a while. We'll leave without seeing Cassia."

Talia nodded, agreeing with the plan. She chimed in, "Our family has properties here, including a few landed houses. Grandpa will stay in one of those instead of going back to our ancestral home immediately."
