Just then, Cindy, Jake’s fiancé, walked over.
She saw my dress, which was way nicer than
hers, and her eyes flashed with jealousy.
“We’re watching a clown. She thinks Jack is
going to marry her, haha!”
“She came here thinking she could steal your
thunder,” Jake said, wiping tears from his
eyes. He put his arm around Cindy.
Cindy looked at me with pity.
“Chloe, I didn’t think Jake would joke like
that.”
“It was wrong of her. I’m sorry.”
Jake rolled his eyes. “I was just kidding!”
“She’s here because she has ulterior
く
“Serves her right.‘
The friends all agreed.
“Right, Cindy! She wants to get rich. That’s
why she chased after him!”
I looked at Cindy.
She’s beautiful, generous, and an heiress.
She’s a much better match for Jake.
After all, he’s just an illegitimate child, and he
needs Cindy’s family.
I looked at her hair.
The green hairpin was hard to miss.
く
It was an ‘d family heirloom.
I was going to pass it on as an engagement
gift for my own daughter.
It’s been taken by the Kennedy family for
many years.
I wanted to give the hairpin to Jake.
Who knew he would give it to Cindy?
I held back the tears and said, “Cindy, you’re
wearing my engagement gift.”
“I’m not involved with Jake anymore. Please
give it back.”
Cindy went pale.

She smiled, pulled the hairpin from her hair,
and held.. out to me.
“Chloe, I know you’re close to Jake. But
feelings can’t be forced. He’s chosen me.
Please have some self–respect, go, and never
come back!”
I was silent as I took the hairpin.
But she let go before I could touch it.
The hairpin crashed on the floor, shattering to
pieces.
I stared at the fragments.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
This was a heirloom!
く
Now it was ruined!
be, she tried to ruin your wedding. You’re
g to let her go? It’s too generous of you.”
ince she dares to ruin the wedding, she
should be punished!”
“If not, she might keep chasing after Jake!”
Jake ran his fingers through Cindy’s hair.
He looked at me and said, “You’re right. We
need to teach her a lesson.”
Cindy looked lovingly at Jake, smiling.
“Publicly undressing a woman is too
humiliating!”
く
“Just kick her out!”
“No, I need to teach her a lesson. I don’t want
her to keep pestering me!”
Jake sneered.
I looked at him in disbelief.
I didn’t think he would be so cruel.
I was thinking that he did this because of my
family.
I supported him to go to school, even giving
up the chance to go to university.
Now, we are marrying in the same hotel, and
he’s humiliated me.
く
he doesn’t care about our years of friendship!
“Haha, little beauty, here I come!”
Chapter 3
The rich boys reached out to me, tearing at
my dress.
“Get away from me!”
I screamed.
Jessica came to help.
But how could we stop these men?
In a minute, my dress was ripped to shreds,
revealing my underwear.
く
Or
of Jake’s friends opened his phone and
went live.
“Check it out! This is what happens to
homewreckers!”
