Third person's POV

Lillian completely froze. Then a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. "You didn't come to the wedding. You didn't rescue me. You made me the person I am today. Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? I had to put up with my husband staying out all night. He didn't love me at all. He just thought that I was pretty, and going out with me by his side made him look good. I was too young to make the right choice. I was wrong. You are the man that I want to spend my life with."

"Enough!" Cedrick's face was utterly sullen as he interrupted her with a cold voice. Then he said, "The past is the past. I have nothing to do with you from now on. I heard that you received five hundred million dollars from your divorce. It is enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life!"

Lillian's face was a little pale. She realized that Cedrick was serious. He did not love her anymore.

"Are you sure you want to be with Jessica?" Lillian held back her tears, feeling so jealous.

Normally, others were jealous of Lillian. Her perfect appearance made her stand out.

And now, finally, she knew what it was to be jealous. It hurt, and she hated the feeling.

Cedrick knew Lillian well. She was emulous, and she hated it when someone took her place.

" Leave her alone! I am warning you!" Cedrick said in a stern and cold voice.

Lillian, however, curled her lips into a sneer. She said, "You care about her, which means that you love her a lot. Just like the way you loved me before, right?"

Cedrick's face stiffened.

"She reminds you of me, doesn't she?" Lillian had done some digging about Jessica before coming here. She found a few pictures of Jessica that looked nice. As she looked at them, she noticed that she and Jessica shared a similar look of pride on their faces.
