Wilhelmina sat on the cushion in Sophie's room.

"Grandma, there are only two more times left before you can go."

Sophie looked down at her, tears welling up in her gloomy eyes.

"Wilhelm, you must go to the dinner party tonight."

"I don't want to go anymore, Grandma."

"As long as I'm still alive, you'll still be Leon's fiancée."

Sophie's voice choked up.

"If you don't go, won't you let that cunning girl to humiliate the Pietersons?"

Speaking of Tessa, the old woman was so angry that she trembled all over.

Wilhelmina looked at the furious expression on her face and finally couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go."

Wilhelmina returned to the guest room and when she opened the door, the room was silent.

The dressing table was empty, without any prepared dresses or matching jewelry boxes.

Back then, on such occasions, Leon would always order someone to deliver the latest haute couture items of the season and even carefully select the matching jewelry.

Nowadays, he was too lazy to even do such trivial things.

Wilhelmina stood in front of the wardrobe, her fingertips gently brushing across a row of plain dresses.

In the end, she chose an old-style dress in moon-white color.

It was the one she brought herself when she first came to the Pieterson Family, the material wasn't really expensive, but it was better because it was well-tailored.

She took out the star-shaped diamond necklace Sophie gave her from the bottom of the jewelry box.

She walked into the venue alone. Her plain dress was out of place among the gorgeous outfit in the venue. She only wore the diamond necklace around her neck.

Tessa held Leon's arm, her eyes fell on the diamond necklace and she gritted her teeth in jealousy.

"Wilhelmina, why are you wearing so plain dress?" She raised her voice to catch anyone attention. "Didn't Leon prepare a dress for you?"

He stared at Wilhelmina, frowning.

He clearly asked the butler to prepare a haute couture dress and matching jewelry from the latest season, so why didn't she wear it?

She was deliberately embarrassing him. It made him very unhappy.

Tessa was wearing a floral yellow dress with a slightly bulging belly. She had a smug on her face as she walked onto the stage holding his arm.

"Thank you to all the guests for taking your precious time and witnessing this evening."

Leon's voice was low and clear. "My engagement to Wilhelmina is officially terminated today."

The whole room was in an uproar.

Wilhelmina stood still, calmly facing the sighs and various gazes around her, but she didn't feel any pain.

Meanwhile, Leon unconsciously glanced to see her reaction, but he couldn't find any sadness or concern on her face.

Tessa keenly noticed that her man's eyes were always on Wilhelmina. She immediately held his arm tightly and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Leon ...." She cried, her voice trembling. "Are you lying to me? You actually like Wilhelmina, don't you? Shouldn't I come back?"

He retracted his gaze and lowered his head to comfort the girl beside him. "Don't let your imagination run wild. I've always liked you."

"In the past three years, I've been thinking about you all the time. Wilhelmina stayed in the Pietersons' house was only because of grandma's coercion. I don't have any feelings for her."

She felt a pain in her heart like being stabbed by a knife.

Even though she had long been numb, these words coming out of his mouth still hurt her deeply.

Seeing her was about to leave, Tessa immediately let go of Leon's hand and took a few steps forward to stop her.

"Wilhelmina, don't leave in such a hurry."

Her eyes fell on the star-shaped necklace on Wilhelmina's neck and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

She turned her head to look at Leon and said in an aggrieved voice, "Leon, didn't you say your family inheritance would be given to someone important?"

Leon furrowed his brow as he stared at Wilhelmina and Tessa.

Finally, he said in a cold voice, "Wilhelmina, give the diamond necklace to Tessa."

Wilhelmina's fingertips gently stroked the diamond necklace around her neck, which inexplicably reminded her of that snowy night three years ago.

At that time, she had just been neglected by Leon and lived alone in the side yard of the Pieterson Family's old house. Sophie stepped on the snow to see her with her crutch.

"Leon, that bastard, doesn't know how to cherish you, but I recognize you and will always recognize you."

Now, Tessa was pointing at her diamond necklace and crying in grievance. "Leon, I am your fiancée now, but why did you pass on your family heirloom to her?"

Leon frowned at Wilhelmina, his voice cold. "Take it off!"

However, she didn't want to give it to Tessa.

Not because she was attached to the Pieterson Family, but because it was the last thing the grandmother gave her.

In the past three years, every time she was ignored by Leon and humiliated by Tessa, Sophie would secretly send someone to take her to her room, cook her a calming soup, pat her on the back of her hand.

She said, "Wilhelm, bear with it a little longer. Grandma is here. Leon will eventually understand your feelings."

Now, Sophie's legs had not healed yet and she was still waiting for her last acupuncture tomorrow in her room.

How could she give up the old woman's kindness to Tessa?

"Wilhelmina." Leon's voice grew even colder. "You're no longer my fiancee. You're not qualified to wear anything belonged to the Pietersons."

Again and again, his words were like a knife, stabbing into Wilhelmina's heart.

"Not qualified?"

She had devoted three years to the Pieterson Family, broke her leg while collecting herbs in the rain for Sophie and shed three drops of her heart's blood for Leon's poisoning ....

Now, he was going to wipe out everything with a simple "not qualified" sentence.

Wilhelmina raised her head and stared calmly at him, asking, "Leon, are you sure you want this?"

Leon was startled by her calm expression, but then he said coldly, "Take it off, don't make me say it for the third time!"

Wilhelmina slowly raised her hand and touched the knot of the Diamond necklace with her fingertips, gently taking it.

Tessa reached out to take it, but deliberately retracted her hand just as she was about to touch it.

The star-shaped diamond necklace fell heavily on the marble floor and broke into two halves.

The whole room fell silent.

Wilhelmina saw the fragments on the floor and suddenly laughed.

It was a token of trust Sophie had put on her herself, symbolizing the Pieterson Family's recognition of her.

Now, it was completely shattered, just like her efforts over the past three years.

She stared at Leon and said in almost inaudible voice, "Leon, we are even now."

Just then, she turned and left. Her skirt swept across the diamond necklace fragments without a trace.

He stood there and for no reason, felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He should had been happy.

He finally got rid of the girl he didn't love and went to the bed with Tessa as he wished.

But why, watching her leaving, felt like a piece of his heart was being cut out?

Tessa pulled her sleeve and cried. "Leon, she deliberately broke the diamond necklace ...."

Leon immediately shook off her hand and bent down to pick up the two halves of the diamond necklace.

When Wilhelmina returned to the room, it was already dark.

Her fingertips gently stroked the medicine box, she took a deep breath and began to pack her luggage.

It was time to go.

Just then, her mobile phone rang and vibrated at the same time.

The word "Mr. Reigner" appeared on the screen. Her teacher or lecturer finally got out of his busy schedule, doing a research project.

"Wilhelm."

On the other end of the phone, her teacher's voice was calm and gentle.

"Midnight, at the airport outside the city."

"Although the Blood Marrow Ganoderma is destroyed, Ms. Pieterson's leg disease can be healed by the 'Seventh Amethyst Restoration Needle'. You need to take three drops of your own heart blood as a guide."

Wilhelmina was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay."

Soon, she finished the last acupuncture treatment for Sophie.

The moment the silver needle entered the acupoint, her fingertips trembled slightly and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The blood in the heart was the trigger and the pain went into the bone marrow.

Sophie noticed her something unusual about her and tears welled up in her eyes. "Girl, why are you paler than me?"

Wilhelmina shook her head. "Grandma, you'll walk normally after this. I'm leaving grandma, you should take good care of yourself in the future."

Sophie suddenly burst into tears.

"Wilhelm, no matter where you go in the future, as long as you need help, you can come to me, okay?" Wilhelmina just leaned forward and apologized, resting her forehead on the grandmother's knees. "Take care."

The suitcase rolled over the bluestone slabs of the Pieterson Family's house and Wilhelmina didn't even look back.

She had nothing around her neck, the jade pendant was broken and the engagement was broken.

As the taxi headed toward the outskirts of the city, heavy rain began to pour.

In the rearview mirror, the carved gate of the Pieterson Family's house was getting farther and farther away. She reached for her mobile phone and dragged the words "Leon Pieterson" onto the blacklist.

A private plane parked at the airport. When the white-haired old man opened the cabin door, Wilhelmina finally collapsed due to exhaustion.

"Three drops of my heart's blood, you're really ...." The teacher caught her limp body and sighed. "Still as stubborn as you were back then."

In another place.

Leon was absent-minded at the dinner and Wilhelmina's look before leaving made him particularly uneasy.

"I'll go back first."

He suddenly stood up, leaving behind the guests and the stunned Tessa and strode towards the parking lot.

Before the driver could react, he had already opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the black Maybach rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

As soon as he arrived and opened the door, the sensor lights in the foyer were on, illuminating the empty living room.

"Wilhelmina?"

No one responded.

He loosened his tie and scanned around irritably.

He hurried upstairs, pushed open the guest room door and the bed was neat and clean, with no signs of having been slept in.

He turned and stepped towards his grandmother's room. But the butler stopped him in the corridor and notified. "Mr. Leon, your grandma has already fallen asleep."

"Hey Leon~"

Tessa followed him back not long after, hugged him from behind and said in a sweet voice. "Wilhelmina must be with your grandma, you know how much she loves to run to her room."

She stroked his chest with her fingertips, raised her head and said coquettishly, "Please, don't think about her, I'll accompany you tonight ...." The man supported her while thinking. Wilhelmina often stayed overnight at his grandmother's room, especially on the days of acupuncture treatment.

Let's go buy some pastries or desserts she liked and apologized.

Anyway ... she has been pestering you for three years, so she won't really leave.

Leon stood outside his grandmother's room, holding Wilhelmina's favorite pastries and desserts and the set of second edition books of "Compendium of Materia Medica" that she had been coveting for a long time.

He thought about it the whole last night. Wilhelmina had always been caring and soft-hearted. As long as he opened his mouth, she would definitely forgive him.

The door of the quiet room opened and Sophie came out holding on a natural brown wooden crutch, her gaze as cold as ice.

"Leon, you're late."

Leon frowned as he didn't see Wilhelmina with her. "Grandma, where is Wilhelmina? I brought her a gift ...."

The grandmother sneered and slammed the wooden crutch on the floor, responding, "She's left."
