Chapter 10
“I loved you so desperately! To be near you, I married your brother and lived as a widow for years. When your eyes finally saw me, how could I let that chance slip away?”
“You’d already taken me–why still cling to that bitch Sophia?”
“I aimed to ruin her, just to drive her far away where she’d never
return.”
“What’s wrong with fighting for myself?”
Benjamin was furious. He aimed a kick at her stomach. “You want to ruin Sophia? I’ll ruin you first.”
“You instigated a crime and practiced medicine illegally. Save your words for the judge.”
Emily struggled to her feet, smiling sweetly. “Don’t forget, I’m still legally your wife. If I go down, your career goes with me.”
Suddenly, Jennifer appeared from nowhere, punching and kicking Emily.
“You wretch! You jinxed my eldest son to death, and now–you’ll destroy my youngest?”
“I was foolish enough to let Benjamin marry you. Why won’t you just die!”
She then turned to me, her face softening.

“Sophia,
was my fault. I was blinded by that vile woman and forced Benjamin to marry her.”
“Benjamin only ever loved you. Now that everything’s cleared up, please forgive him?”
Benjamin stepped closer, reaching to touch my face.
I sidestepped without a word.
His voice grew hoarse. “Sophia, I’m sorry I hurt you. I’ll make it up to you for the rest of my life.”
I snorted coldly. “Benjamin, your lifetime means nothing to me.”
“I told you already – our engagement is off. We’re done.”
Benjamin choked up. “Sophia, you’re the only person I’ve loved in thirty years. Don’t be this cruel.”
I shot him a withering look. “Me? Cruel?”
“You slept with your sister–in–law Emily while I was searching for my parents, then tried to ruin my career for her sake.”
“With just a simple act, you believed I called your kid a bastard and that I had someone humiliate Emily.”
“You even pushed me down the slope twice for Emily, almost getting me raped.”
“When Emily botched the prescription and caused trouble, you wanted to push me to take the blame, knowing I have claustrophobia, you kept trying to lock me in the detention cell.”
“After all this, you now tell me I’m your only love?

Don’t insult me, okay?”
Benjamin, with red eyes, explained, “No, I was just deceived by Emily. I wanted her to safely give birth to the child, and then completely cut ties with her.”
“Maybe some methods were wrong, but please don’t doubt my sincerity. My heart truly belongs only to you.”
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he forcefully pulled the necklace off Emily’s neck and handed it to me, as if to please me.
“Look, the necklace is still here. Let me put it on for you.”
I looked at him coldly, avoiding his touch.
His hurt gaze fell on my face as he choked out, “Sophia, have you forgotten? To get this necklace, I knelt for three days and three nights, and even found…”
I sneered, cutting him off.
“It’s all in the past.”
“Once, I liked you so sincerely too. It was you who pushed me away with your own hands.”
