1 shot him a look of contempt. "What I call him is none of your business. Don't forget your own position!"

Luke shifted uncomfortably, and just as he was about to respond, I leaned in closer, speaking in a hushed tone that only we could hear, "Remember, this is all because of you.

No matter how upset or regretful he was, the truth was clear: he and I were never meant to be.

Luke paused, his mind likely drifting to the past and his actions toward me. His gaze darkened.

I warned him softly, "Don't look at me like that. Are you trying to make me die again?"

The mention of "die" seemed to stir something within him.

He quickly turned away, unwilling to stay near me any longer, walking off with a glass of wine in hand, hist posture seeming rather miserable.

But none of this was anything but the result of his own choices.

As I watched him walk away, Carter's eyes turned toward me.

Just as I was about to say something, I spotted Nicholas in a white suit in the crowd.

Considering the scale of Bill's event today, he must have been invited to attend.

I couldn't imagine how he had managed to endure the past 20 years on his own.

While many unfaithful husbands remarried quickly after their wives' passing, he had never even been given a chance with Philippa. He had lived on only the memories of her all this time.

He had worked his way up from an ordinary young man to the man he was now. If only Philippa had married him, and if the Wilchers had invested in him back then, their lives would have been so much better now. They would have avoided so many unnecessary struggles.

But those shortsighted elders never considered the long-term. They made Philippa lose her true love. leaving her to suffer all her life. Now, they were living of Bill's success.

Today, the Wilchers arrived, all dressed up, exuding an air of elegance.
