Chapter 4

After being rescued, I was unconscious for several days. My phone had many missed calls and messages left by Dane.

He asked where I had gone to clear my head this time.

"You've been upset for too long this time. Tell me what you want from the auction house, and I'll buy it for you."

"Felicity, can you pick up the phone? Let's stop fighting, okay? I really just went to keep an appointment. I got over Seraphina a long time ago."

He said it was a promise they made when they were young. Ten years later, no matter what circumstances they were in, they would watch a fireworks show together.

That day, he set off fireworks across the entire city, while I was beaten nearly to death because of him.

I begged him to save me several times, but there was no response at all.

In Dane's heart, I'm just someone who makes unreasonable scenes.

"Seraphina isn't mad at you anymore. Let's just pretend that incident never happened. Stop hiding and come back soon. She even bought a lot of things for our sweetheart."

Our sweetheart?

It's long gone, Dane.

While you were enjoying romance with your pure love, it had already been killed.

......I smile faintly, my brother sitting nearby. That day when they controlled the tracking and burst in, they caught that man red-handed.

My brother and his team discovered an earth-shattering secret in the man's possession, a secret about the Langdon Family Group.

He hands the items over to me: "After all, this is about someone you care for. It's up to you how to handle this."

My brother says this through gritted teeth, expressing his desire to kill Dane, saying he's not worthy of me.

"My dear sister, the little princess of the Knightley family whom we cherish, has been so neglected by him. We've all been fooled."

My brother says he always thought Dane loved me deeply.

After all, in front of others, during meals, he would serve me food, sometimes even feed me. When I was hurt, he'd be concerned. He seemed to care about me more than anyone.

Even my family was deceived by his false sincerity.

"If you didn't like him so much, I would have had him taken care of long ago."

I take a deep breath, my chest feeling tight. My injuries haven't fully healed, and my entire mouth hurts when I eat.

Holding the evidence about the Riverside development project, I realize just how dark and complex this whole affair is.The Langdon family and Huntington family initially colluded, using many underhanded methods to acquire this piece of land and build a castle for Seraphina.

Before the Huntington family's downfall, Seraphina's online persona was that of a wealthy heiress, a princess, someone above the common folk.

But the year the Huntington family got embroiled in that scandal, she rushed abroad without a second thought for Dane.

I hold in my hands evidence that's more than enough to send those people from the Langdon and Huntington families to prison.

"Don't worry about me, I want to divorce Dane."

Just as we were talking, a commotion broke out outside the door.

After all, this is Langdon family territory. If Dane puts his mind to it, he can find out where I am without much effort.

My brother went out to deal with him: "I said we're not seeing anyone, and that means we're not. My sister's been seriously injured..."

"What happened to Felicity? Where is she hurt? It's almost New Year's, and it's not good for her to be away from home so much. She has a prenatal checkup tomorrow too."He still remembers I need to get checked up. I thought he'd be lost in Seraphina's tender embrace by now.

My brother spoke sternly, "That won't be necessary. Don't come around anymore, and while you're at it, get a divorce when you have the chance."

"Divorce?" Dane's face fell instantly. "I really just... I didn't do anything to betray Felicity. Let me see her, I'll explain everything to her."

Dane insisted on seeing me, but during that livestream, he had plenty of opportunities.

Yet he didn't come, even treating me with cold indifference.

My brother shoved him away, having no patience for his nonsense, but Dane got up from the ground and tried to force his way through.

My brother landed a punch on his face, then vented his anger with several more blows.

"Take one more step, and I'll break your legs."

"I need to see Felicity, let me see Felicity."
