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 clearly heard Cherry also gasp behind me, but her gasp was muffled halfway, probably because she covered her mouth.


My heart was about to leap out of my throat, looking at that face so close, my entire being was filled with intense embarrassment and inexplicable excitement.


I had an illusion, or maybe it wasn't—Daniel Carter did it on purpose, deliberately asserting his claim in front of Calvin Yance.


I wailed internally, how am I going to face President Yance and Cherry after this?


President Yance would definitely look at me with strange eyes, and Cherry would tease me ambiguously, believing my relationship with Daniel Carter isn't clear.


"Thank you, no need to trouble yourself. I'll carry her to the car." After stabilizing me in his arms, Daniel Carter slightly turned and looked at Calvin Yance, politely expressing his gratitude.


I saw Calvin Yance's face go stiff, his raised hand paused in the air before slowly retracting.
