Her father’s death, her mother’s insanity, and her family’s hospital being taken over — how could she let go of such a grudge?It was she who seduced him, approached him with all kinds of schemes to make him love her, all because he was the fiancé of the person who caused her family’s misfortune.

His strength, intelligence, and resolve seemed to vanish completely before her.Perhaps the only thing he was lucky for in this life was being of value to her.

　　Emma turned to the man, her refined smile still in place. "Of course," she replied, her gaze shifting to Ricard with a meaningful look. "A wonderful woman like her is hard to overlook. I've always heard about her—both intelligent and beautiful. You two truly make a perfect couple."
