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

Leaving those words behind, I slipped into the car.


Grace Chandler followed me and got in as well.


To make room for us, Daniel Carter moved to the other side of the car, keeping some distance from Adrian Gordon.


But he bowed slightly and reminded from outside the car, "President Gordon, helping others is helping yourself; don't make a big mistake in a moment of confusion."


This was clearly a warning to Adrian Gordon, even a threat!


Yet he said it so calmly, even politely.


Grace Chandler slightly opened her mouth, turned to look at me, also showing surprise and a hint of delight.


I kept my mouth shut, unsure how to respond, so I simply played dumb.


This car had plenty of space, more than enough for three people to sit comfortably.


And Grace Chandler wouldn't deliberately squeeze me like Daniel Carter's sister did.


But being next to Daniel Carter, his powerful aura was undeniable, making me feel tense and even my breathing a bit restrained.
