But Katerina didn’t even look at them. 

“No, those aren’t my parents‘ heirlooms, Besides, this is my own matter, so there’s no need to tronkie treble 

you, gentlemen.” 

Seeing her so indifferent, the three of them immediately panicked 

Ethan sighed helplessly. “Kate, do you really have to become so distant with us? 

“You know how we feel about you,” he said softly. 

Tony and Andrew both spoke at the same time: “We know you’ve been paying attention to Bethany recently, but Bethany saved our lives. We’re good to her because we owe her. But you’re different, you’re the one we truly care about.”

Hearing those words again, Katerina almost laughed through her tears. 

She smiled and said, “Then you don’t need to worry about your affection, because

already 

Seeing her still joking about her marriage, the three brothers immediately darkened their expressions. Just as they were about to speak, Bethany suddenly called. 

“Ethan,Tony, Andrew, I accidentally fell while changing a lightbulb, it hurts so much… 

Immediately, the three of them panicked and hung up the phone, looking at Katerina. 

“Kate, stop joking about your marriage. If you’re not happy with these things, we’ll go find more for you!” 

Before she could respond, the three of them rushed out of the house one by one. 

For three consecutive days, the three brothers didn’t return home, but the messages from Katerina kept coming in 

In the photos, Ethan was gently applying medicine to her, Tony was holding a bouquet of flowers and placing it in a vase, while Andrew was feeding her fruit. 

“Miss, look, I just twisted my ankle, but they care so much about me. They’re so attentive to me. I don’t even know how to repay them.” 

Katerina glanced at the photos, but she pretended not to see them. 

She was too busy sorting through everything related to the three brothers over the years. 

The veil they had draped over her head when they played house as children; 

The white dress, crystal shoes, and diamond tiara they gave her for her coming–of–age ceremony; 

And the letter in the drawer, a letter that never had the chance to be sent. 

Everything, everything, was thrown into the firepit. After lighting it, she watched it all slowly burn. 

As she looked at the dwindling flames and the objects turning to ash, it felt as if all the past had. 

finally disappeared. 

When the brothers returned, they happened to see this scene, their hearts stopping at the sight. 

“Kate, what are you doing?!” 

Andrew shouted, hurriedly trying to get water to put out the fire. 

Ethan and Tony also rushed to grab anything they could to extinguish the flames. 

But Ethan just quietly watched. Since the fire was burning fast, by the time it was put out, nothing 

had been saved.
