Chapter 1


    Anna Brown looked at the divorce papers on the table that her husband had already signed.


    She looked in the direction of the window with tears in her eyes. Justin Salvador was standing there in


    the glow of the afternoon sun, looking as perfect and cold as a stone sculpture and emanating an


    oppressive vibe.


    “I’ve signed the papers. You should sign them as soon as possible so that we can finalize the divorce


    before Rosees home.”


    Justin put his hands behind his back and said, without ncing at her, “Since we had a prenuptial


    agreement, there won’t be any issues with property division. But aspensation, I will give you an


    additional $20 million as well as the vi in the western suburbs. After all, I won’t be able to exin it to


    Grandpa if you leave without taking a cent.”


    Anna was dumbstruck. “Does Grandpa know that you want to divorce me?”


    “Grandpa’s opinion won’t affect my decision.”


    Anna’s slender body shook, so she could only hold onto the edge of the table to stabilize herself. Tears


    streamed down her face as she asked, “Justin, can we please stay married?”


    Finally, Justin turned around and looked at her doubtfully.


    He pursed his thin lips and narrowed his dark eyes. His handsome face still made Anna’s heart skip a


    beat.


    “Why?”


    “Because I love you.”


    Anna’s eyes were red and tearful. “Justin, I love you. I still want to be your wife even if you don’t have


    feelings for me…”


    “I’ve had enough of this, Anna. A marriage without love is torture for me.”


    Justin waved her off. He did not even have the patience to listen to her. “Our marriage was a mistake


    from the start. You knew that I was just fighting with Grandpa back then. You also knew that I liked


    Rose. I just couldn’t be with her back then for certain reasons. She’sing back from Meridan soon,


    and I n to marry her, so you have to leave now that our three-year contract period is up.”


    Anna lowered her head. Large teardrops fell on the table, but she quickly wiped them away.


    Justin noticed it, but he did not say a word.


    At this time, his phone rang. He quickly answered the call when he saw the name on the screen.


    “Rose, have you boarded the ne yet?”


    He had such a gentle tone that Anna wondered if it came from the same man who was so cold to her


    moments ago.


    Rosalind Gold said in a cheery voice over the phone, “Justin, I’m already at the Savrow Airport.”


    “What? Weren’t you supposed to get in tonight?”


    “I wanted to surprise you!”


    “Wait for me, Rose. I’ll pick you up now!”


    After that, Justin left in a hurry.


    When the door mmed shut, Anna felt heartbroken and abandoned.


    She had sacrificed so much for the Salvadors and had devoted herself to Justin during their marriage.


    In the end, he only thought of her decade-long crush and three years of marriage as torture.


    Justin acted as if he had been released from serving a three-year prison sentence and hurriedly


    abandoned Anna at the first opportunity. This was so that he could marry his childhood sweetheart,


    Rosalind Gold, whom he had been longing for.


    Anna was crushed and disheartened to find that she could not do anything to win over Justin’s heart.


    She took a deep breath, smiled wryly, and shook her head. Her indignant tears smudged Justin’s


    beautiful signature on the divorce papers.


    In the evening, Justin brought Rosalind back to Tideview Manor.


    Justin, the second son of the affluent Salvador family, carried a demure woman in bridal style as he


    walked into the manor, attracting everyone’s attention. 1


    “Justin, you’re not divorced yet, so we shouldn’t be so intimate. Otherwise, Anna will resent me if she


    sees us.” Rosalind rubbed Justin’s chest as she spoke softly.


    “She won’t.”


    Justin’s eyes turned cold as he said, “So what if she sees us? I don’t love her. She’s only my wife in


    name, so she should know her ce.”


    The Salvadors gathered around Rosalind and greeted her while Anna was setting the table in the


    dining room.


    Justin caught a glimpse of his wife’s lonely figure and smirked, thinking, ‘How could Anna be so servile


    to my family? Did she think that doing so would make me change my mind about the divorce? How


    ridiculous!’


    “Young Master Justin!” After a while, the butler ran over to Justin. “Young Madam just left!”


    “She left? When?”


    “Just now! She didn’t take anything with her. She just took off her apron and left through the back door.


    A ck car picked her up.”


    Justin hurried back to the bedroom, which was clean and tidy. He saw the signed and tear-stained


    divorce agreement on the bedside table.


    He frowned and walked over to the window, just in time to see a ck Rolls-Royce driving away from


    Tideview Manor. Soon, its tail lights disappeared into the night.


    Justin thought to himself, ‘Wasn’t she reluctant to leave in the afternoon? It looks like she can’t wait


    to leave right now!’ 1


    He felt that Anna had yed him like a fool, so he took out his phone and called his secretary


    indignantly.


    “Check whose car this belongs to. License te number SA9999.”


    “Yes, Sir.”


    Five minutester, Justin’s secretary called him back. “Mr. Salvador, I found out that the car with that


    license te number belongs to the CEO of KS Group.”


    KS Group’s CEO was the eldest son of the Thompson family, Asher.


    Anna came from a small town. She was poor and did not have any connections. During the past three


    years, Justin noticed that Anna did not even have a social circle because all she did was stay at home.


    How did she manage to get acquainted with Asher Thompson?


    Justin thought that Anna had already found herself a rebound guy.


    “Mr. Salvador, did you bring up the divorce with the young madam today?” His secretary asked


    tentatively.


    “Of course! Why would I drag it out?” Justin felt frustrated.


    “Oh… But it’s the young madam’s birthday today.”


    Justin was taken aback when he heard this.


    In the back row of the ck Rolls-Royce, Asher, the eldest son of the prestigious Thompson family,


    gently held Anna’s hand.


    “Your second brother prepared a fireworks show for you tonight to celebrate your return.”


    “I’m really not in the mood to watch fireworks.”


    Anna resumed her identity as Be Thompson, the heiress of the Thompson family. She leaned on her


    eldest brother’s shoulder and burst into tears.


    She nced at her old phone and read thest message she received, which was from Rosalind.


    [You stole Justin from me. I told you that I’d make you give him up sooner orter. Justin is mine, so


    stop pestering him!]


    She smiled tearfully with her eyes closed and came to a realization.


    “What’s wrong? Do you still miss him after all he has done to you?” Asher hugged his sister in


    distress.

    “Ash, it’s my birthday today…”


    “I know. Justin is a jerk for choosing to divorce you today of all days.”


    “That’s why I have no regrets. Justin just killed Anna Brown.”


    When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer Anna Brown, the dutiful wife of Justin Salvador.


    Instead, she was once again Be Thompson, the proud heiress of KS Group. This time, she would no


    longer be hung up on that man.


    Be said, “I’m over him. I’ll be damned if I ever go back to him.”
