[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 Tan... brought Old Master Guan and Old Madam Guan here?

Liliana unconsciously balled her hands into fists. The incredulity in her eyes expressed what she was thinking right now.

"Miss Ding... I'm sorry for surprising you. Actually..."

Under Liliana's surprised gaze, Ms Tan quickly explained the chaotic event that was happening. Talia touched her cousin's back, trying to offer some comfort in the meantime.

"Old Madam Guan is my distant relative who I treat as my own grandaunt. When I told her about you and CEO Ding helping me the other day... she was shocked."

Ms Tan went to visit Old Madam Guan two days after the auction. The former recovered well from her asthma attack while the elderly woman's health turned better.

Curious over what happened to Ms Tan, Old Madam Guan inquired further. The young woman spared no details by telling how one of the young ladies from the Ding family saved her life.
