Walking Alone in a Dream

[Strong Female Lead + Everyone Ends Badly + Second Male Lead Takes Over + Clean Romance + Childhood Sweethearts]
My fiancé's first love was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and she had a request:
She wanted me to give her my planned wedding, and even asked me to officiate their wedding.
I watched her wear the wedding dress I had sewn by hand, adorn herself with the jewelry I had meticulously chosen, and walk arm-in-arm with my fiancé into what should have been my marriage hall — considering she was a dying woman, I endured all of this.

But she went too far and tried to take the white jade bracelet left to me by my deceased mother, which was too much!
At the auction, my sleazy fiancé protected her as they continuously raised bids, inflating the price of the bracelet to 200 million.
Drained of my assets by my vampire-like family, I was powerless and could only watch in agony as the family heirloom fell into the hands of those despicable people —
Suddenly, a cool and elegant voice arose: '300 million.'
The whole room was shocked.
The low-profile and mysterious heir of the Carter Family, Daniel Carter made an astonishing bid, 'The auction item is a gift to Eldest Miss Miller.'

I retrieved the bracelet and thanked Daniel Carter, 'Mr. Carter, I will repay the 300 million to you as soon as possible.'
Daniel Carter frowned and gently asked, 'Lily Miller, don’t you remember me?'
Me:？

The Billionaire Stands Up for Me

I breathed a quiet sigh of relief, catching Daniel Carter's gaze in mid-air; he slightly curled his lips, signaling me not to be too tense.


Recently, the ambiguity between Daniel Carter and I has been unprecedentedly intense.


I can't reach such a high-status family, I should be aware and draw a clear boundary.


But I'm a businesswoman, especially now that I'm my own boss, I understand the importance of maintaining relationships even more.


With someone as influential as Daniel Carter, who in the country wouldn't welcome him?


They say it's good to lean against big trees for shade, even if it's not for myself, I have to consider the company and so many employees, and make good use of this towering tree, utilizing his influence for the company's benefit and development.


Some might think I'm too pragmatic, too hypocritical, but the world is just so realistic.
