Chapter 7 

The banquet resumed. 

My parents asked me to entertain friends, while they entertained relatives. 

“Laura!” 

My best friend, Adeline Cobb, waved at me. 

I walked over with a smile. 

“Laura, you did such a great job today.” 

Adeline was full of excitement. 

Watching Thomas and his parents with their faces turning pale, looking helpless and unable to do anything to you, I felt relieved. 

“I have long said that Thomas is not worthy of you. How much have you given for him, but what has 

he done? Besides treating you like a servant, what else has he done?” 

“Laura, you had money, you had looks, I never understood why you were so deeply in love with 

Thomas, like you were under a spell.” 

I was probably foolish!” 

I smiled and reached out to pick up the wine glass, saying, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. From 

now on, he is him, I am me, and we have nothing to do with each other.” 

“That’s right!” 

Adeline raised her glass and clinked it with mine. 

The banquet ended, and I helped my mom support my dad as we left. 

I didn’t drink much alcohol because a scumbag who doesn’t even love himself is not worth it! 

Dad, however, drank a lot. 

It’s all because of me! 

It was me who made him lose face in front of relatives and friends, and it was me who made him 

bend down for the first time. 

Over the years, I have felt immense guilt as I argued with Thomas time and time again. 

I was unfilial! 

“Laura, why did Thomas have to marry you? Since his female secretary is already pregnant, he

could have just married her. Why did he have to scheme against you?” 

Serena asked. 

I answered, “Because his family’s company had problems and needed financial turnover, only by marrying me could his family’s company be saved.” 

“He appeared to marry me, but in reality, he was interested in the money from our family’s 

company.” 

Serena angrily cursed, “What a scumbag! He got the secretary pregnant and still wanted to marry you to deceive our family’s money.” 

“Laura, fortunately you found out in advance, otherwise if we had really gotten married, the company would have been handed over to him, and our family would have had no way out.” 

“Laura, you must not regret going to see him again, otherwise I will lose respect for you.” 

I was busy expressing that I couldn’t do it! 

One heartbreak experience is enough, there will not be a second time.
