Simon raised his palm, and Whitney glared coldly at the despicable jerk before her.
Still, his betrayal pierced her frozen heart like a dagger.
Their tender eight years together–he had claimed to be the bastard of the Perlman family, placing extra importance on family values.
He had talked about having a whole brood of kids with her.
Now, he had traded her for Monica.
“We’ll see what kind of spawn you two produce. Hell’s got a special place for you both!” Whitney wrenched her hand away and stormed off.

Tiana clenched her teeth, a cold smirk crossing her face as she booted up her computer. “They have no clue about your skills, do they? We’ve got to win this! Let’s see, the regional contest starts in October, and it’s hosted by Imperial Gem Corporation, the top judges…”
She suddenly fell silent.
Whitney’s face turned rigid with anger as she spun around. “What did you just say? Which jewelry company?”
