Lawson's forehead was hit by the beads on the wedding dress and it turned red.

He lost all his patience. "Yasmine, how dare you be so arrogant?"

The Hoffman family earned a lot of money in business over the years. When we decided to get married, those who were not familiar with me thought that I was out of their league.

But I never cared about family background. I compromised again and again just because I loved him.

If it were in the past, I would apologize immediately when Lawson was slightly annoyed.

Now, I was just looking at him coldly.

"The wedding photos have been taken, and the invitations have been sent out. If you're in such a hurry to get married, I wish you and Janelle a happy life. This wedding dress is a gift for you."

After all, a despicable man and woman were a perfect match.

Although our ten-year relationship did not end well, at least before we got married, I saw his true color.

I didn't waste my time because of him.

"Don't make trouble for me, okay? You're different from Janelle. It doesn't matter for her to make trouble since she's just a girl, but it's a little disgusting for you to make trouble at your age."

He rubbed his forehead with impatience.

"Forget about it. I'm too tired to argue with you. I'll just give you 200 thousand dollars, and you can buy another wedding dress."

Janelle was several grades behind Lawson in school and four years younger than him.

They knew each other in high school and became lovers for less than a year, but Lawson couldn't forget about her for ten years.

Even things about Janelle could be seen everywhere in our relationship.

In Lawson's eyes, the first love of youth was the purest.

A girl introduced to him by a friend like me would inevitably have some motive for him.

"I don't want it! I am not short of money. From now on, we will be just strangers. If you and Janelle appear in front of me again, I will show no mercy to you."

I pushed him away, slammed the door, and left.

I would stay in the studio for the time being.

To complete that wedding dress, I worked so late at night and had no time to care about anything else. The studio could be called my second home.

The draft paper was plastered all over the wall, and all kinds of clothes were piled up everywhere.

I closed my eyes, and my mind was filled with the scene of my mother on the hospital bed. She was teaching me how to embroider in a trembling voice.

At that time, we were full of hope.

Now, there was nothing left.

My love, my career, and my family were all in a mess.

My tears finally fell down my face.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

It was a message from Janelle.

It was a screenshot of her conversation with Lawson.

She said: [Even if we can't be together forever, I still want to give all of myself to you in a wedding dress. Just take it as marrying you once in my heart.]

Lawson replied: [Okay.]

Over the years, as long as Janelle wanted something, Lawson would give it to her no matter what took.

He gave her everything, including a bouquet of flowers, a bag, a meal, and a wedding dress as well as himself.

While I was in a daze, I received a call from Janelle.

She smiled proudly and said, "Thank you for your wedding dress. It's really beautiful. Lawson couldn't control himself as soon as I put it on. You don't know how great it was that night. I said that we had to do it again on the day of your wedding, and he agreed.

"I really want to see if he will choose to sleep with you on your wedding night."

I trembled with anger and cursed at Janelle.

Just as I was about to rush out and argue with Janelle, the door of the studio was suddenly opened.

A person rushed in and hugged me.

"Lilyana..."

After seeing the person, I finally felt relieved.

Like a child who had found someone to rely on, I threw myself into her arms and burst into tears.

"I'm here. With me here, no one can bully you."

Lilyana Hardy patted my back gently and comforted me in a soft voice, just like three years ago.

Three years ago, I broke up with Lawson because of Janelle.

I couldn't accept that my future husband would always think of another woman.

Lilyana was exasperated at my attitude.

"You've been a simp for seven years. Isn't it enough? A mental affair will develop into a physical affair sooner or later. If you still choose to get married to Lawson, then we'll be strangers. I can't stand being friends with idiots."

Lilyana and I had been best friends since we were kids.

Under her encouragement, I tried my best to forget about Lawson.

However, when Lawson raised the flowers to propose to me downstairs, I couldn't help but be touched.

He said that he would never contact Janelle again and that he would always love me for the rest of his life.

I was defeated at that moment.

I believed him.

As for Lilyana, she kept her word and blacklisted me.

I lost my best friend. Three years later, I lost everything that I had.

"I'm sorry, Lilyana. I was too stupid. I deserved it."

"All right, let's forget about it. I'm here."

My mother and I had left our hometown for many years, and I had devoted myself to my work. Therefore, I didn't have many friends.

After Lilyana left, only Lawson was left by my side.

I treated him as my backer, but he never treated me well just because I had no one to back me up.

He used to mock and ignore me, and now he wanted to destroy my career and make me a puppet that would only listen to him.

After crying, I seemed to have vented all the grievances kept in my heart for years.

All of a sudden, I felt so much better.

Only then did I notice the handsome young man in sportswear behind Lilyana.

Before I could ask something, Lawson called me.

"Yasmine, stop fooling around. You've already accepted the wedding gifts I sent you. I'll buy a new wedding dress later with you. Janelle wanted to be the bridesmaid, and I agreed. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

When Lawson proposed to me, he gave me some gifts, worthy of 10 thousand dollars.

However, in his eyes, it became evidence that I was after his money.

He didn't know how much money my mother had left for me.

Just as I was about to curse at Lawson, I suddenly thought of something and told him my address.

Under Lilyana's suspicious gaze, I hung up the phone.

"Don't worry, I won't tolerate it this time. I will make those who hurt me and my mother pay a heavy price!"
