Chapter 628: Lifting the Curse

```

"Marriage is like life itself; it's a battlefield, not a nest of comfort!"

During the promotion of "Gone Girl," Charlize Theron was extremely committed, even using her personal experiences to attract attention: "I witnessed my parents fighting horribly, my father attempting to take advantage of me, and the price my mother paid to protect me!"

The painful experiences from her days as a diamond girl in South Africa were once again sensationalized by the media after her Oscar campaign for "Young Adult."

It was eye-catching and easy to sensationalize.

And indeed, she was a victim of marriage.

At the age of 15, Charlize Theron watched her mother shoot her abusive father.

She became a staunch advocate of the no-marriage movement thereafter.

That night, the newly installed retractable bridge at the Theron residence suddenly rose, one end remaining on her side while the other extended into Martin's house.
