Serena looked at Vivian’s pouty face and smiled, “Don’t let anyone else ruin your night. Yvonne made her own bed, so she’ll have to lie in it. I don’t need to do anything.
“The things she’s created will haunt her for the rest of her life.”
Serena knew exactly why Yvonne hated her. It was all because of what happened back then.
Serena thought, ‘With a mother like Beatrice, what kind of daughter could she possibly raise? Beatrice is just rotten to the core, with no morals and no sense of right or wrong. How could she ever teach her daughter anything good?”
Just thinking about that fool Dylan made Serena’s heart twist with pain.
That damn man. If he’d ever truly cared about me, he would’ve seen right through their fake faces. But he just chose to stay blind, Serena thought.
Serena pressed her lips together, a chill flashing in her eyes.
Vivian knew all too well what Yvonne was really like.
‘Humph! There’s not a single good one in the Ashford family. Serena, promise me you’ll live your best life and never get mixed up with them again,” Vivian said.
Serena nodded, her smile soft. “Yeah, his grandparents were really kind to me. But except for them, I want nothing to do with the Ashford family anymore. Honestly, I just regretted it.”
Vivian frowned, confused. “Regret about what?”
‘Dylan was totally head over heels for Eliana, but when the truth finally came out, he just ditched her. Honestly, I kind of wish I could’ve watched them crash and burn together for the rest of their lives,” Serena said.
Serena’s eyes welled up with tears as she smiled, “One time, Dylan came home drunk and grabbed me by the throat, blaming me for making him lose the woman he loved most, Eliana. He said he’d even die for her.
‘In that moment, my heart broke for him. I was so envious of Eliana. But after the truth came out, they tore into each other like wild animals. Dylan’s love was worthless.”
I actually fell for a guy like that, Serena thought.
Vivian saw Serena looking sad again and reached out to comfort her, “Alright, alright, don’t cry. I shouldn’t have mentioned Dylan.
Serena shot back, I’m not crying”
“Okay, okay, you’re not crying. You just got something in your eye, right? Now, hurry up and eat your shrimp. These are your absolute favorite,” Vivian said, her tone playful and doting.
Serena finally cracked a smile at Vivian’s gentle coaxing.
Dylan was hiding behind a pillar, eavesdropping on their conversation, and the memories came flooding back
That night, after drinking heavily, Dylan came home to see that Stella had made a table full of dishes for him.
But all he could think about was Eliana, struggling alone overseas. For the first time, he just couldn’t stand the sight of Stella

That night, he took her by force, and that was the night she ended up pregnant.

The next morning, when he woke up and realized he’d betrayed Eliana, he was furious. “Stella, trying to seduce me? Are you out of your mind? You must have a death wish!”
Stella was hurting so much; maybe that was the moment she finally gave up on him for good.
She looked at him coldly. “Dylan, if you love Eliana so much that you’d give up your life for her, then why couldn’t you control yourself and end up forcing yourself on me?”
Dylan froze, his mind flashing back to that crazy night. The pleasure he felt was something he’d never experienced before.
Stella went on, “Dylan, if you loved Eliana so much, you could’ve just used the contract to bring her back early. What kind of man picks on a woman he only married for a business deal?”
He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. His career was just starting to take off, and he couldn’t walk away from the company.
Stella hooked him up with four major deals, and once those went through, the Ashford family finally hit the jackpot.
After he finally achieved success, Eliana gave birth to his son. The three–year marriage contract had ended, but before he could leave her, he ended up hurting her once more.
