But at that moment, he no longer looked as handsome and charismatic as before. He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were filled with a heavy sadness.
When he noticed me, his face was filled with surprise.
I turned my gaze away, acting as though he were a complete stranger, not concerned in the least.
As I started to walk away, a loud stir broke out behind me.
“Chelsea! Is that you? Chelsea!” Franklin rushed toward the red carpet, his excitement evident, but security quickly blocked his path.
He fought against them desperately, repeatedly calling my name.
“Chelsea, I know I was wrong! I was blind back then! Please… please give me another chance…”
But I didn’t even glance back, calmly telling the security guard with a smile, “I don’t know him.”
Moments later, the commotion behind me quieted down.
I was seated in the VIP section in the front row when a child ran past me and tripped, falling right in front of me.
I hurried to lift him up, gently wiped away his tears, comforted him, and then popped a piece of candy into his mouth. He broke into a smile, his face lighting up.

Out of nowhere, Sean stormed out and shoved the child aside.
“This is my mom! Why are you near her?
“Mom! Come home with me right now. Don’t talk to other kids!”
My mood instantly darkened. I scooped up the child Sean had pushed and spoke to him softly, “It’s his fault. Let me take you to find your dad.”
The child was easily comforted and didn’t stay upset. He quietly allowed me to hold his hand and lead him away.

Seeing that I ignored him, Sean stomped his feet in frustration.
Clearly, he thought these moments should be for him, but now, I didn’t even acknowledge his presence.
“Mom! I’m your biological son! How could you treat another child like this?”
I stopped walking and gave him a cold stare. “Isn’t your mother supposed to be Della? Don’t call me that. I’m not fit to be your mom. I’d rather not get hurt because of it.”
With that, I turned and walked away.
Franklin stepped in front of me, pleading earnestly, “Chelsea, please come back. Both Sean and I knew we were wrong.
“We promise to treat you better. Please, give us a chance to make things right.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I spent five long years in prison, calling your names every single day just to survive. If I hadn’t done that, I would’ve died in there.
“I gave you everything I had, but in the end, I realized that all the pain was because of you two!
Franklin’s face immediately drained of color, and Sean fell silent, no longer daring to speak.
I tried to walk away, pushing him aside, but he grabbed my arm and continued, “Look at what we’ve become without you. Doesn’t it break your heart?”
I let out an angry laugh. “Oh, does Della feel sorry for you two?”
Franklin’s eyes sparkled. “Chelsea, I knew you were still upset with Della.
“Don’t worry. We’ve gotten rid of her and severed all ties. She won’t interfere with our lives anymore.”
I fought to pull my arm free from Franklin’s grasp, keeping my gaze
cold.
“Franklin, from the moment I learned the truth, I’ve sworn I will never forgive you!
“You made me fall from being a respected lady to a prisoner, leaving me with nothing. How dare you ask for my forgiveness?”
“Chelsea, what’s wrong?” Harvey’s tall figure appeared before me, stepping in to shield me..
When Franklin saw Harvey, his expression darkened. “Chelsea, how dare you go behind my back and find another man!

“The reason you don’t want to return is because of this reckless man! You need to remember, I haven’t agreed to the divorce yet!”
But Harvey wore a smirk as he spoke, “Chelsea Mooney? She’s been dead for a long time.
“I was the one who personally arranged her death certificate.
“If you’re looking for her, go to the afterlife and find her!”
After that, Harvey grabbed me and swiftly led me away from them.
Yes, I changed my name a long time ago, and all ties to my past are left behind in the country.
Now, I am an entirely different person.
With everyone’s eyes on me, I placed a crown that I had designed and made on my head.
Standing on the elevated platform, I calmly watched as Franklin and Sean were escorted away.
After that, they vanished from my life once more.
Years later, I came across some news about Franklin by chance.
By then, he had already been imprisoned, enduring the same torment I once went through.
It was rumored that he had dug into everything about Della and uncovered the truth that she wasn’t a poor student but my father’s illegitimate daughter.
Moreover, my mother’s death was related to her.

That’s when he discovered her true nature, and he lost control, locking her up and tormenting her daily.
Eventually, Franklin’s actions were revealed by my father, leading to his imprisonment.
My father didn’t fare much better either. Franklin ruined the Mooney family, and in the end, the old man and his insane daughter were begging on the streets.
The Wagner family suffered greatly as well and eventually went bankrupt.
As for Sean, I don’t care about him at all.
Because none of this has anything to do with me anymore.
Upon hearing the news, I simply smiled and put it behind
my mind.
Harvey, standing before me, carefully placed the crown on my head, knelt down on one knee, and asked, “May I have the honor of marrying the beautiful princess?”
I beamed and softly replied, “Yes!”
