Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chloe was calling the Pierce family.

Through the window, she could still see Simon sitting slumped outside the iron gate. Her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, she refused to let anyone see her cry…

Yes, why had she been so foolish? The moment she decided to become Simon’s temporary bride, she knew she would become a laughingstock for everyone.

The ladies in their circle mocked her, claiming that she was desperate for connections.

The outsiders sneered at her, accusing her of being a gold digger who clung to Simon. They were sure she would eventually be cast aside.

Everyone was waiting for her to get divorced so they could mock her.

Initially, she did not care about all of this. She believed that as long as Simon was by her side, she would stand by him, and that would be enough…

Or perhaps, in the past, she would have left sadly, wanting nothing more, and then hidden away in a corner to nurse her wounds silently…

However, tonight, her thoughts suddenly changed.

Why should she do that?

Why should she sacrifice so much and try to prove her innocence?

After all… as long as she abandoned any sense of moral standards, no one else could hold it against her!
