I concealed my identity as Scion of an old money "New York" family when I married Vivienne.
But unexpectedly, the day before our wedding, I was in a car accident.
When I regained consciousness, I had lost my sight.
In the darkness, I overheard Vivienne's conversation with her assistant.
"Ms. Stratton, don't worry. The driver responsible for the accident and the doctor have been taken care of. They won't breathe a word. However... Mr. Everhart loves painting more than anything. After donating his corneas, he'll never be able to see again. What if he can't accept it when he wakes up?"
"He's strong, unlike Brent. Brent couldn't live without his eyes. Besides, Everett has me now. I'll take care of him for the rest of our lives. I love him, but I can't lose Brent."
The woman paused, then her cool voice spoke again.
"Oh, and have the doctor perform a vasectomy on Everett while they're at it. Brent would go mad if he saw me with Everett's child."
The assistant hesitated, feeling uneasy. "But Ms. Stratton, isn't this too cruel to Mr. Everhart? He's been with you since he was eighteen..."
"Just do as I say. Don't ask any more questions." I shuddered involuntarily, my entire body turning ice cold.
The woman I had loved unconditionally all this time had already fallen for the impoverished student I was supporting.
She was even willing to destroy everything I had for his sake.
If that's how it is, those who hurt me cannot be allowed to remain.

Love's Cruel Severance

"Everett, Vivienne deserved worse. Why didn't you let your sisters deal with her? Why just bankrupt her company? After what she did to you..."


I spoke softly, a smile playing on my lips.


"Big sis, there's no need to have blood on our Everhart family's hands."


Vania understood perfectly. She released the news of Vivienne's affair with Brent, and then had paparazzi dig up information about Brent's part-time jobs at various nightclubs.


Online public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided, filled with voices cursing them as scumbags and cheap women.


There were also mocking comments about Vivienne:


"She must be blind, giving up the devoted and powerful Everhart family's young master to cheat."


"She just likes to eat others' leftovers. A woman who can't control her own heart deserves what she gets."


Stratton's company's stock plummeted. Having offended the Everhart family, no business partner dared to cooperate with her again.
