This husband who treats me so tenderly leaves me feeling completely torn. Before going to bed, Cian said:
“Vivienne, Grace is back!”
I clenched my fist. Was he going to come clean?
Well, as long as he divorces me and gives me some money, that’s fine.
“Don’t be upset. I wanted to tell you that her husband
bankrupted her family. She has nowhere else to go, so she had to come to me.”
“Now that your leg has healed, I’ve arranged for a celebration party. It can also serve as a welcome for Grace. After all, you two are best friends, aren’t you?”
How ridiculous. He wants to welcome his beloved, but uses the best friend excuse as a cover.
I replied halfheartedly, “Whatever you want!”
On the day of the party, the business elites gathered.
They all brought lavish gifts.
When they saw Grace by Clan’s side, they all flocked over to congratulate them.
“So this must be Mrs. Prescott. No wonder Mr. Prescott has been keeping such a precious gem hidden away all these years. Now that we’ve seen Mrs. Prescott’s grace and beauty, I wouldn’t want anyone else to see her either…”

“Mr. and Mrs. Prescott are such a heavenly couple. It makes us bachelors quite envious.” Cian wanted to say “she’s not,” but Grace had already linked her arm with his.

“During these years of my disability, I’m so grateful that he never left my side. I even urged him to marry someone else, but he refused, staying deeply in love with me.”
Cian’s face darkened visibly, while others chimed in:
“Word on the street is that Mr. Prescott cherishes his wife like a
treasure. Now we can see it’s truly well–deserved.”
With a beauty like Grace by his side, everyone was praising Cian to the skies.
Finally, Cian put his arm around Grace’s waist:
“I hope everyone’s enjoyed the food and entertainment here today. If you need anything, please come to me. My Mrs. Prescott has just recovered and shouldn’t be bothered.” Originally, Cian was waiting for me to come out so he could announce my identity to everyone.
When I was truly ready, he was arm–in–arm with Grace, introducing her as Mrs. Prescott.
Cian had gone to entertain other guests, and Grace noticed me
standing dumbfounded on the side.
She walked over, linking arms with me in greeting:
“Vivienne. it’s been three vears. Do vou still remember me?”

“Didn’t you say we were best friends? Why are you doing this to me?” I slapped her hand away, and her gentle smile immediately vanished.
“Are you talking about what just happened? Cian has always
been
my boyfriend, she enunciated each word slowly. “You’re the homewrecker.”
“Nonsense! He and I only got together after you two broke up.”
Perhaps I was still lost in the memory of Cian’s sincere love, forgetting that our marriage was just a result of his spite. Grace reminded me once again.
“Why are you covering your face? Do you know how you became disabled? It’s because he looked at you once, and I didn’t like it. I told him to ruin you, and he did exactly as I said.”
She laughed mockingly at me: “He ruined you, then saved you,
and now you love him like your life depends on it. You’re. Such. A. Cheap. Whore.”
A resounding smack landed on her face.

She lost her balance and crashed into the champagne tower
behind her.
Shards of glass pierced her palm, and the commotion drew a
crowd of onlookers.
“What happened? How did Mrs. Prescott fall?”
“I think I saw that woman hit Mrs. Prescott.”
Cian heard the whole story and helped Grace up, holding her in
his arms.
Grace cried silently, looking utterly pitiful.
“Honey, she hit me.”
A chorus of murmurs rose and fell.
“Who is this person? Why is she wearing a mask?”
“That just makes it easier to commit a crime. Maybe she’s
jealous of Mrs. Prescott.”
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Cian came over and slapped me, then dragged me in front of Grace.
“Apologize to my wife!”
His attitude was ice cold. Seeing his ruthless gaze, I was
reminded of that night three years ago when he tormented me relentlessly.
This time I had upset Grace again. Would he torture me to the point of disability once more?
I had only just recovered.
