From Dixon's point of view, it was not a big deal for him to run away from the marriage. It was unreasonable for me to break up with him.

Rachel took Dixon's arm to comfort him and said, "Dixon, don't be angry. I'll explain it to her."

As she spoke, she looked at me and said gently, "Janet, I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Dixon was worried about me, so he took care of me for a few days and it affected your wedding. I'm really sorry. Please don't blame him."

Rachel's tone was quite sincere, but the way she looked at me was obviously full of provocation. She held Dixon's arm tightly, obviously declaring her sovereignty.

"Huh, your boyfriend really dotes on you."

My heart was as still as water, and my voice was as cold as ice.

"Janet, can you talk nicely? Rachel is sick, but you're still so sarcastic. Is it necessary for you to be so narrow-minded?"

Dixon could not wait to stand up for Rachel, as if I had bullied her.

"You are right, it's not necessary."

I spoke coldly and walked past him to leave.

Dixon could not help but be taken aback by my strangely cold attitude.

This was the first time that I had been so cold to him as a simp.

He was stunned for two seconds, caught up with me, and explained in a low voice, "Rachel has always been in poor health. I can't ignore her illness. Does your parents have a problem with me? I can explain it to them."

For so many days, even if Dixon cared about me just a little, he should have noticed that something was wrong and my parents were dead, but he didn't.

I shook off his hand and said coldly, "No need."

Dixon frowned slightly, then took out his phone and ordered, "Zayn, find the most authoritative medical team in the country to treat Janet's father immediately. Also, prepare a new wedding ceremony for me."

Then, he looked at me. "Are you satisfied now?"

He felt that he had done a good job.

Indeed, for Dixon, who had always been arrogant, this was already a compromise.

In the past, I would have been so flattered.

But now, my heart was as still as water

"I said there's no need."

I did not want to waste my time arguing with Dixon. After saying that, I strode away.

"Stop right there!

Before I could take a step, I heard Rachel's voice from behind.

She pulled Dixon in front of me and sized me up suspiciously. "Dixon, she used to be very concerned about her father's illness, but today, she doesn't even need your help and wants to leave in such a hurry with a bag on her back. I think she's just feeling guilty. Maybe what's in her bag is stolen from your house. You can't just let her run away like this."

Rachel acted as if she had seen me stealing with her own eyes.

My eyes became slightly glazed over. I looked at Dixon and asked coldly, "Do you think so, Dixon?"

Dixon lowered his eyes and avoided my gaze.

Sometimes silence was an answer.

I had been dating Dixon for seven years. Even if he had not been sincere to me, he should at least know what kind of person I was. But now, when I was accused of being a thief, he chose to acquiesce.

My heart, which had been dead for a long time, ached faintly at this moment.

My seven years of love and sacrifice had really been fed to a dog.

Linda continued, "Janet, don't pretend to be so disappointed. You think I don't know? Your whole family is from the countryside, especially your parents. They've never seen the city in their whole lives. They're so poor and pathetic. When they saw that Dixon didn't complete the wedding with you, they must think that they were going to lose their wealthy son-in-law, so they asked you to steal some property for them."

"I can see through the despicable thoughts of poor people like you at a glance!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her eyes lit up with the excitement of seeing through the truth.

Slap!

I slapped her hard across the face!

"You can say anything about me, but don't mention my parents!"

I snapped her, and my anger was boiling in my heart.

My parents had been kind and simple their whole lives and had never done anything wrong. In our village, they were famous for being good people. Not to mention coveting Dixon's things, even if my father was on the verge of death, they had never thought of troubling him.

My parents-in-law had passed away with regret at this wedding. I would never allow Rachel to slander them again.

"Janet, what are you doing?!" Dixon's eyes were cold as he glared at me in displeasure.

When my parents and I were slandered, Dixon did not say a word. As soon as Rachel was wronged, he immediately came forward to scold me.

This was the man I had loved for seven years.

"Dixon, look! I must have hit the nail on the head."

Rachel covered her face angrily and glared at me. Then, she looked at Dixon and said coquettishly, "Dixon, my face hurts..."

Dixon's heart ached as he looked at Rachel's face. Then, he ordered me with a gloomy expression, "Janet, apologize!"

"Don't even think about it!"

I retorted without hesitation, my tone was resolute.

Dixon's eyes were cold. "Janet, don't make me angry."

In the past, I would do whatever Dixon asked me to do.

That was because I loved him and cared about him.

But now, there was nothing left for me to care about.

At this time, Rachel suddenly said angrily, "I don't need her apology. No one dared to hit me since I was a child. Dixon, I want her to pay me back double!"

Dixon glanced at me when he heard that and tried to signal me with his eyes to admit defeat.

I looked up at him, and my eyes was full of stubbornness.

Dixon saw that I was stubborn and wanted to teach me a lesson.

He signaled with his eyes, and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and grabbed my hands, turning me into a lamb to be slaughtered.

Seeing this, Rachel smiled smugly. Without saying a word, she slapped me hard in the face twice.

In an instant, my cheeks turned red and hot, and blood oozed from the corner of my mouth.

However, Dixon continued to stand by and watch it coldly. "She's not feeling well because of illness. You shouldn't have bullied her."

My face did hurt, but my heart hurt even more.

When we first started dating, Dixon had told me that I was his woman and that he would protect me and not let anyone hurt me.

But now, in order to protect another woman, he let me be beaten this hard.

I suddenly burst out laughing.

And my laugh was so desperate.

Rachel was still angry after hitting me. She stared at my backpack with disdain.

"I'd like to see what you've stolen and hidden in your backpack!"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull my bag.

My parents' urns were in my bag. I would never allow Rachel to be disrespectful to them.

"Stop! Do not touch my bag!"

I began to resist violently and berated Rachel angrily.

"You are so resistant. It seems that you've stolen a lot of good things!"

Seeing that I was overreacting, Rachel became even more excited. She tried to pull the backpack off me with both hands.

I was so anxious that I almost lost my mind. I kept resisting like I was crazy.

At this moment, I only had one thought in my mind, and that was to protect my parents' ashes.

Rachel tried for a while and couldn't move it. She gritted her teeth and unzipped my backpack.

Hiss!

As soon as the zipper was unzipped, the urn in the bag fell to the ground.

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

The urn was broken.

The ashes were scattered all over the ground, reflecting a pale light that stung my eyes.

I, who had been struggling violently just now, froze on the spot, staring blankly at the ashes on the ground.

My dad knew that he wouldn't live long, so he brought a porcelain jar from his hometown. He often smiled and told me that this porcelain jar was his lifelong treasure. If he died, I would use this treasure to store his ashes.

My parents loved each other for their whole lives. After they passed away, I put their ashes into this porcelain jar.

But now, the jar that my dad had treasured for a lifetime was broken.

My parents' ashes were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing that my backpack had been torn open, the two bodyguards could not help but let go of me.

I came back to reality and pounced on the ashes on the ground. My hands were shaking as I collected the ashes.

At this moment, I burst into tears.

"What? Why is it all lime?"

Rachel screamed in disappointment when she couldn't find the stolen goods she wanted to find in my bag.

Dixon was also confused and asked, "Janet, what the hell are you doing? Why are you treating a pile of lime as a treasure?"

My ears were buzzing, and I could not hear what they were talking about.

My heart ached so much, and my guilt spread like a hurricane.

I continued to collect the ashes and broken ceramic jars on the ground and put them in my bag.

Getting my parents into trouble and dying regretfully was already my greatest pain.

But now, I could not even protect their ashes.

I really didn't deserve to be a human being.

Tears kept falling from my eyes.

Rachel stepped forward and stepped on my parents' ashes. She asked speechlessly, "Janet, you have to know what you're doing. Don't you find it disgusting to cry in front of such a pile of lime?"

"Go away!"

I shoved Rachel aside and roared.

Rachel stumbled and fell backward. Dixon reacted quickly and supported her.

"Janet, you almost pushed Rachel down for a fucking pile of broken lime!" Dixon was very angry, "I must teach you a lesson today."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and ordered coldly, "Zayn, cancel the wedding ceremony. Also, cancel the expert consultation of Janet's father."

On the other end of the line, Secretary Zayn paused for a moment and then stammered, "Mr. Garcia, Janet's father passed away on the day of your wedding!"

"Also, her mother had a heart attack because you left halfway through the wedding. She passed away on the day of the wedding."
