Chapter 25
Deven, however, directly took out a pair of wedding rings and knelt down on one knee in front of
everyone.
“Don’t listen to them, Lilyana. The person you actually liked was me, right?”
“Will you marry me? I loved you and wanted to take care of you for the rest of my life. From now on, we will only have each other, without any more misunderstandings. Is that okay?”
The pigeon egg–sized diamond ring, under the illumination of the bar lights, became even more dazzling and eye–catching.
In his eyes, there was only sincerity and love.
“You liked watching my movies, so wherever I went to shoot movies in the future, I would take you
with me.”
“My fans were very rational, and they would definitely like you too. We announced it together with
people from all over the world and received blessings from everyone.”
As Graham looked at the three nephews provokingly in front of him, his face turned extremely
dark, and the jealousy in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
At that moment, Lilyana tightly held his hand, and warmth also reached his heart.
She gave him a shallow smile, as if comforting him.
Then, she turned her face and instantly became cold when facing Braxton and Deven.
“Wasn’t it clear enough when I spoke? I am very satisfied with my current life, and I have never
loved you all. If it weren’t for the engagement, I probably would never have had any involvement with you all in my entire life!”
She mercilessly tore up the employment contract, casually throwing it away as she spoke.
The shredded pieces of paper fell to the ground like snowflakes, scattered all over.
Braxton’s face turned pale, and confusion filled his eyes.
Branden also stood still, hesitating to react, but stubbornly refusing to be taken away by the
bodyguard.
After tearing up the employment agreement, Lilyana took the diamond ring from Deven’s hand and threw it away casually when she saw the glimmer of hope in his eyes.
The bar was a mixed crowd, where did you get thrown to?

No one knew.
Lilyana didn’t know either.
Seeing the light in Deven’s eyes completely extinguished, she suddenly burst into laughter.
“Branden, Braxton, Deven, what were you guys upset about? I haven’t done anything yet.”
“Did you forget? In the past, what you were most skilled at was giving me hope, only to destroy it in front of countless people, and trample on my dignity.”
“If it weren’t for the irresistible engagement, how could I have stooped so low?”
Lilyana smiled and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.
The former self felt sorrowful and heartbroken.
If there was a choice, how could she have possibly reached that point? She was also a proud young
lady, with her own dignity and pride.
The heart is made of flesh, how could it not be painful in the heart when they insulted me like that?
However, now she has overcome it all.
It was their turn to experience these things, but it was only once. Why couldn’t they accept it?
Lilyana sneered, her eyes filled with contempt, as she stepped on the petals and coldly and
resolutely said, “Now I think that marrying first and then falling in love doesn’t seem too bad.”
“If you haven’t given up yet, I don’t mind punishing you as your aunt.”
“I couldn’t remember it at once, but it’s okay to come a few more times. Don’t give up after just one
try, come a few more times, that’s what you made me personally experience.”
She spoke and then slowly turned around, her skirt swaying in a graceful arc as she fell into
Graham’s embrace.
“Husband, it’s getting late. We should go home now.”
“You will still be on a business trip tomorrow, so let others take care of these matters.”
Graham possessively wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace, not
giving anyone a chance to take her away.
“Well, let’s go home. Can you go on a business trip with me tomorrow? We just got married not long ago, and I don’t want to be separated from you.”
His deep voice was filled with a strong possessiveness as he turned around and glanced at Branden,

Braxton, and Deven, his eyes slowly becoming threatening.
Just as he left the bar, he sent a message to the bodyguard,
“Send all three of them to the temple and make them kneel down. Treat the other two exactly the same way as we just disciplined Branden.”
After the bodyguards replied one after another, they surrounded Branden, Braxton, and Deven layer by layer, escorted them home, and locked them in the temple.
The expensive roses were trampled by countless people, the employment agreement became fragments, and the engagement ring was nowhere to be found, as if mocking their love that ended in vain.
A strong sense of dissatisfaction lingered in the hearts of the three brothers.
They glanced at each other and saw the dissatisfaction in each other’s eyes.
However, Graham had no intention of giving them another chance.
When the bodyguards were kneeling in the temple, a group of servants brought out everything related to three people and Lilyana. In front of them, bit by bit, they threw them into the brazier and burned them to ashes.
“No! No burning allowed!”
Branden, Braxton, and Deven knelt on the ground, struggling with all their might. The wounds on their bodies, inflicted by “family discipline,” had just healed, only to completely reopen.
Blood flowed down their bodies, staining the ground red.
In their eyes, there was only the blazing fire pit.
The servant, as if on purpose, moved neither too fast nor too slow, and it took him a whole day to burn everything completely.
The entire Marquez family was enveloped in a smoky and fiery smell.
The ancestral hall was silent.
In the end, it could be proven that Lilyana had liked their things, but they were all gone.
After the fire, a bodyguard approached the three brothers and said ste 1, “Mr. Graham asked me to tell you that the things you once discarded as worthless, he treasures them like precious gems. The same goes for people, regret is useless, you are already too late.”
Speaking, the bodyguard also threw a few photos in their faces.

The photos were taken as a supplement to Graham and Lilyana’s wedding photos.
Every time Graham went on a business trip, he would bring her along. During their free time, the
two of them traveled to different countries and cities to take wedding photos.
The girl’s happy and sweet smile in the photo was something they had never seen before.
At that moment, Branden, Braxton, and Deven fell silent.
In my memory, Lilyana’s radiant smile never seemed to appear.
She always seemed to have a forced smile on her face as if she was trying to please others.
“Also, Mr. Graham said that Lilyana didn’t like roses, it was Mr. Branden who liked them, and she
wasn’t interested in medicine, but she studied it reluctantly.”
“Mr. Deven’s movies were not bad, but she didn’t love them. All of this, it was only because of your
interest that she made an effort to understand.”
“You had countless opportunities to be with her, but you all gave up and never took the initiative to get to know her preferences. Mr. Graham just seized one chance.”
