In order to get a divorce as soon as possible, he was willing to give anything.

"I, I don't want money, I don't need these!"

I shook my head vigorously.

Tears flowed down her cheeks to her chin, and then flowed down her neck into her collar.

"I don't want a divorce either, I just want you..."

"I'm going to pay you back double the 300 million dollars you spent on me. Isn't that enough?"

I looked up suddenly in surprise.

Liam thought I agreed.

He sneered and tapped the table with his five fingers confidently.

"Evelyn Reed, I've seen through your true colors! You're selfish, you don't have any sympathy, and you naively think that money can buy everything! Forcing me to get married with you is just to satisfy your own pathetic desire for control!"

My eyes were filled with disbelief.

In his eyes, I am so unbearable!

Clutching the front of her clothes that were wet with tears.

Even my heart felt cold.

Grievance, resentment, and hatred.

All kinds of emotions washed over me again.

"Yes, not enough!"

I clenched my back teeth, and a strong smell of blood rose from my throat.

"I gave you your life! Why should you just abandon me when you say you don't want it?"

Liam's face finally darkened and he slammed the table.

The dull sound was like a sharp knife piercing my chest.

His voice was deafening, and his voice was hoarse with sobs:

"Evelyn, if Summer's kidney wasn't in my body, I would have given you my life as compensation! No, that's not right. If I had known that Summer would be in so much pain, I would have preferred to just wait for death!"

Liam slammed the door and walked out.

I covered my face and cried silently.

We are clearly a rare pair of true lovers in a business marriage, so how did it come to this?

Back then, Liam, who had Rh-null blood, suffered from end-stage renal disease and was kicked out of the Hayes family, leaving him to die on the streets.

Everyone thought I would break up with him.

However, I ignored my family's opposition and decisively got the marriage certificate with him.

It was because I had a depression attack and was planning to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

He rushed up to me, hugged me, and fell with me from the eighteenth-floor rooftop.

"Evelyn, even my life belongs to you. If you want to leave, take me with you!"

The whispers in my ears helped me get through countless dark nights.

I grew up amid endless ridicule and harsh suppression.

In my parents' eyes, I am a neurotic loser.

It’s okay that I don’t have the super high IQ of my cousins.

Stupid, slow, sensitive and fragile.

It's Liam.

Water me with love.

Let my broken heart grow flesh and blood.

That time on the rooftop, I was unharmed.

Liam had one arm around me and the other hand hanging on the railing.

But both shoulders were dislocated and the bones in his arms were torn, and he suffered cramps in pain every time it rained.

Later, he became seriously ill and insisted on breaking up.

I want it for him too.

Another chance to survive.

I bet 300 million of my fortune to find a matching kidney.

For a while, the whole city was in an uproar, with tens of thousands of people queuing up for matching.

There is always a way out.

The matching was really successful!

That girl's name is Summer.

When we first met, she was wearing a patched white dress, cheap sandals that rubbed her feet, and her posture was timid and reserved.

But when I met her pure eyes, I saw a white lotus blooming in the mud.

She's not like me.

Born into a wealthy family full of intrigue and being caught up in a whirlpool of greed and desire, his pure white background has long been stained.

I admit that I lost to her.

But I won’t give up just like that!

I searched all the properties owned by Liam but found nothing.

A flash of inspiration.

I stepped on the accelerator and turned around to the small villa on the cliff that he bought in my name a few years ago.

I rang the doorbell nervously and waited for five minutes.

Liam, sleepy-eyed, came to open the door with a frown on his face.

"Evelyn, you're following me!?"

I took a deep breath and imitated him.

Be calm and restrained, as if you are negotiating a deal.

"Liam, we are in a business marriage, isn't it just keeping a few lovers? It's normal! As long as you and I are on the same marriage certificate, you can do whatever you want outside."

The surprise on his face was covered by anger.

"Why are you pretending to be a nagging woman? Do you think I will believe you? Evelyn, I have done everything I can for you! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for killing you!"

My eyes quickly turned red.

I want to cry and make a fuss.

I wanted to shake his shoulders desperately.

I wanted to question him at the top of my voice, it was clearly him who changed his mind, so why could he accuse me so confidently.

But I held back.

I don't want him to hate me.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say! Sharing a husband? Sexless marriage? Even if she wants to bully me, I don't mind."

I pretended to be indifferent, but in fact I was a mean person to the core.

My love for him has already grown into my flesh and melted into my blood.

The pain of separation is no less than excruciating as flaying alive, draining the marrow from the bones.

Liam froze, turned around quickly, and closed the half-open door of the bedroom.

I didn't care and chased after him.

"Let me tell you this, Liam. If you have any other requests, just ask!"

He pushed me to the ground, his cold fingers gripped my neck, and his deep voice sounded like a ghost:

"You'll do anything to achieve your goal! And then what? You'll use other methods to control me! You'll hire a killer to kill Summer! Is that right?"

He took off the mask of coldness and alienation.

There was a terrifying murderous intent in those narrow eyes.

What the hell is he talking about!?

Falling into a suffocating feeling of near death.

I waved my arms and legs feebly.

The only consciousness left was confusion.

"Sister Evelyn, is that you?"

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened.

Summer stood barefoot on the ground, her pale skin making her eyes look even more red and swollen.

"Mr. Hayes, please, don't do anything to Sister Evelyn, you, please let go of your hand first..."

With the sound of chains clanging, she staggered towards us.

Next second.

The shrill alarm rang throughout the house.

I was stunned by the scene before me.

Summer had a GPS alarm on her wrist and heavy shackles on her feet.

Liam carried her to the bed and carefully applied medicine and bandaged her bruised ankle.

"Summer, how many times has your brother told you that if you don't obey you will get hurt? Why don't you believe it?"

Summer tugged at Liam's sleeve, begging carefully and tearfully:

"I don't want to be a third party. Let's just forget about our relationship, okay?"

"It's just a marriage certificate, it's meaningless! My bride can only be you!"

Liam wrapped her in the quilt, not allowing her to show any skin.

The overbearing words revealed a morbid love.

I've never seen him look like that.

Even when we were in love, there was no such thing.

My stomach was churning with nausea.

Perhaps, this is what his true love looks like.

Or maybe, only in front of Summer would he be so emotional, even crazy.

Feeling my surprised gaze.

Liam turned his head, his eyes like sharp swords.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

"Evelyn, five years ago, the Reed family was standing behind you. I was a powerless useless person, and I could only be manipulated by you! I kept a low profile and pursued fame and fortune just to get rid of your control and walk in the sunshine with Summer!"

"You should be thankful that I, who was deceived by you, really loved you, so I softened my heart and let you go!"

Did I lie to him?

I was stunned for a long time.

I was trapped in that painful memory.

Five years ago, Liam declined Summer's donation for the following reasons:

"Donating a kidney is too harmful to your health. Summer is only eighteen years old. It's not worth it for a useless person like me to gamble with a little girl's future."

I tried different ways to enlighten him:

"If $50 million is not enough, then add 5 points of Reed Holdings shares, which will be enough for her to live the life of a rich lady."

Liam shook his head stubbornly.

The look that fell on Summer was filled with tender affection.

Since he fell ill, he has become more stubborn.

From giving up treatment to insisting on breaking up.

Fortunately, I can always use persistence to make him change his mind.

I thought it was the same this time.

I approached Summer with a check for $300 million.

I wanted to bribe her with money to help me convince Liam.

Summer is confused:

"I volunteered to donate my kidney, I don't want any reward! Sister Evelyn, it's my dream to become a doctor who saves lives! Unfortunately, I don't have parents, I don't even have food to eat, let alone the opportunity to study medicine! Fortunately, I have a special blood type, and I have saved more than a dozen people with my blood."

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

The people around me are all greedy and money-oriented.

My parents felt that my behavior of $50M reward for matching kidney had brought shame to the Reed family.

They took my shares, kicked me off the board, and cut off all ties with me.

In order to select an heir, Liam's father raised seven or eight illegitimate children.

When she heard that Liam had a terminal illness, she simply kicked him out of the house.

How could someone be so stupid as to not take the free money just to save people?

I handed the check to Summer and urged her to think it over.

She refused in a panic:

"I'm not selling my kidney, let alone 300 million US dollars, I don't want a penny!"

At that time, Liam's condition worsened and the hospital issued three critical condition notices.

Can't wait any longer!

I thought, Summer volunteered anyway.

Even if Liam gets angry afterwards, there's no reason to blame me.

So I told him the only lie in my life.

I bribed the doctor and pushed him into the operating room under the pretext of a checkup.

The operation was successful.

As agreed, I gave Summer $50 million.

She disappeared without a trace and was never heard from again.

After the operation, Liam became withdrawn and uncommunicative.

The cheerful boy turned into a paranoid workaholic and didn’t talk to me for a year.

I knew he was angry that I lied to him.

But I comforted myself that it is normal for people who have been through the gates of hell to have personality changes.

As long as he is alive.

Fortunately, our relationship gradually improved and we were able to put the belated wedding on the agenda.

Indeed, there have been rumors in the circle.

Mr. Hayes, who is said to be a model couple in high society with his wife, actually has a mistress in his house and has raised his savior into a canary.

At the time, I just laughed it off.

I naively thought that I was his savior.

But now, I have witnessed with my own eyes how crazy he is in love.

"Security! Drag this woman who broke into a private house out!"

Liam covered Summer's eyes gently, his voice was sinister and low.

A group of bodyguards in black quickly surrounded me.

I couldn't help shivering.

"Wait! I want to talk to Sister Evelyn alone!"

Summer struggled to get up and stopped Liam.

"no!"

Liam's face was hard.

"What can I say to such a cruel woman?"
