Seven years after becoming Pearson's deaf-mute wife, a car accident restored my hearing.
I endured the pain of steel piercing my skin and made a video call to Pearson.
Before I could speak, I heard the voice of my best friend: "Pearson, can you accompany me and my child tonight?"
Pearson told me indifferently that he couldn't go home because of work, but at the same time turned his head and answered her: "Of course!"
I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and bright red blood flowed between my thighs.
I gestured to him in panic and said incoherently: "Save the child!"
But Pearson ignored my panic and hung up the phone.
When I tried to call back, I found that he had blocked me.
I could only watch the eight-month-old fetus die in my womb.
Just then, my best friend sent a video of her and Pearson celebrating her three-year-old child's birthday. In the video, the child sweetly called Pearson "Dad".
I was numb all over, endured the heart-wrenching pain, pulled out a leg from the car, and climbed out.
At that moment, the car exploded.
I looked at the raging flames, took off my ring and threw it into the fire.
Then, I sent a message to my parents whom I hadn’t contacted for a long time: “Mom and Dad, I agree to go abroad for rehabilitation and take over the Sterling Group.”

In the Silent Years of My Marriage

"Thanks to you. If Mr. Langdon hadn't let go, how could I have recovered?"


His hand, peeking out from his suit sleeve, tightened into a fist. He bit his lip and lowered his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Callie. I was wrong. Do we... really not have any chance left?"


I lowered my hand and scrutinized Pearson's pitiful appearance, looking like a stray dog begging for food. I laughed, "Mr. Langdon, you seem to have a selective memory. You have a family and children, and now you want to have an affair? Mr. Langdon, are you addicted to cheating? Why don't you ask your wife if she's okay with it?"


I tilted my chin up, gesturing for him to look behind him.


Scarlett stood there, her pregnant belly protruding, her venomous eyes almost piercing through me.
