Chapter 9
“Iow about I work as your assistant and film videos for you? You’re stunningly beautiful. More people should see your pretty face, or it’d be
such a waste.”
The more Verda thought about it, the more thrilled she became. She even began to brainstorm a blogger name for me.
Her excited smile tempted me.
I was only three years older than her.
Maybe this could be a better career path; at least it wouldn’t drain me like those exhausting work relationships.
Verda was adept at content operations.
The tenth video she took for me, in which I was standing among a sea of flowers, holding a bouquet of roses while smiling at her, soon went viral.
It received ten million views, and I gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight.
Verda and I were so thrilled that we weren’t sleepy at all late at night.
We went out and sat by the road, enjoying kebabs, beer, and the night breeze.
Our eyes were filled with expectations for the future.
Employees of the Trivett Group came across this video.
One of them said firmly that she’d go to Los Angeles for a trip someday.

With equipment in hand, I was setting off for another shoot when I saw Harlan, who looked very haggard.
It seemed he didn’t sleep all night; his eyes were bloodshot.
“I searched every corner in San Francisco. I didn’t realize you came back. to your hometown.
“Luckily, I saw your video. Or you were gonna disappear from my life forever, right?”
He pulled a long face as his gaze fell on the equipment in my hand.
“This is what you’ve been doing since you left me?
“You’re my wife, the face of the Trivett Group. How could you debase yourself like this just for some online popularity?”
I frowned and took a step back to distance myself from him.
“What are you talking about? Do I even know you?”
His face turned red out of anger, but he still tried to be patient.
“We’re a married couple.”
I looked at him as if I had heard the biggest joke.
“We’ve signed the divorce papers already, in case you’ve forgotten.”
Chapter 1
“Bonnie tricked me into signing them! She told me it was a consent form for her check–up! If I had known it was the divorce papers, I would have never signed them!”
He betrayed me and hooked up with her, yet he made it sound like it was entirely her fault.
I looked at him and said flatly, “You signed the divorce papers.
“As the CEO of the Trivett Group, you should understand better than me the legal binding force of signed documents.”

He pursed his lips and stared at my eyes stubbornly.
“I’ll make a clean break with Bonnie. From now on, I’ll only be with you.”
“I no longer want that.”
I moved aside to dodge away from his extending hand trying to hold me and looked up at him.
“The Fiona who loved you so much died long ago, night after night when you chose to be with Bonnie.
“At first, I couldn’t get used to it; I felt sleeping alone so scary.
“But now, I feel great. Finally, I don’t have to listen to your parents‘ nagging or be humiliated by the derisive looks in business partners‘ eyes.”
Harlan stared at me intently, his eyes obscure.
“You’ve never told me any of this.”
