Back then, I loved Henry so much that I never forced him to do anything he did not want to do.
Who would have thought my consideration would turn into the knife stabbing me in the back and in the heart?
Before I could react, Henry snatched the bracelet from my wrist.
“You’re just a secretary working under me. Do you think I don’t know how much you make?
“Worth a hundred million? This thing’s worth a couple of bucks at best. Stop embarrassing yourself!”
I stared at him coldly.
“Henry, you know exactly what this bracelet means. If you don’t return it to me, you know what will happen!”
Before I could finish, Henry put the bracelet firmly on Yvonne’s wrist, acting as if his actions were perfectly justified.
“Consider it compensation for ruining my wedding!”
I laughed out loud.
“Didn’t you just say this bracelet was worth nothing? It seems like my cheap little trinket doesn’t match your high status.”
Yvonne covered the bracelet protectively.
“Even if it’s not worth much, it’s still your heartfelt gift.”
She stared greedily at it, but before she could enjoy it, her best friend suddenly yanked it off, ignoring Yvonne’s scream, and flung it to the ground.
The cracking of the jade echoed as my heart trembled.
That bracelet was the only thing my mother had left me. It was my most precious possession.
I stared blankly at the shattered pieces on the floor as anger surged through me like wildfire. I grabbed a cup of water and strode toward Yvonne and her friend.
“She’s crazy!” Yvonne shrieked.
The so-called ‘righteous’ guests immediately surrounded me.
Several people pinned me to the ground, and I could not break free no matter how hard I struggled.
“You’re jealous enough to go berserk, huh? Someone call the police on this lunatic!”
In the chaos, I felt a sharp kick to my back. The burning pain spread instantly.
Through the gaps in the crowd, I saw Henry watching me coldly while holding Yvonne in his arms.
“You’d better let me go, or you’ll regret it!”
I snarled through gritted teeth, but the hands on me only tightened.
“You’re a homewrecker! We’re just carrying out justice.”
The crowd roared, tugging and tearing at my clothes.
Just then, the doors were kicked wide open.
