Chapter 3

The company’s statement was a huge boost of confidence for those shipping Adrian and Serena.

It silenced my supporters.

Ms. Davies was disappointed but still tried to comfort me.

“It’s okay,” I said, shaking my head calmly. “I knew this would be the outcome the moment Serena returned. Besides, even if she hadn’t come back, I was already planning to divorce Adrian.”

Ms. Davies’ mouth dropped open in shock. “What did you say?”

I knew why she was surprised. After all, I’d endured much worse online attacks in the past and never mentioned divorce.

That was because back then, I still held onto hope for this marriage.

The old me always thought I wasn’t doing enough.

He called me dramatic, so I stopped being dramatic and made myself strong.

He said I should let my talent speak for itself, so I worked hard to hone my acting skills.

But countless facts over these five years had woken me up.

The one who needed to change was never me.

Hope had gradually turned into disappointment, and now, even the disappointment had completely faded.

Of course, I should also thank Adrian.

I truly wasn't "dramatic" anymore.

Even I, who used to tear up easily as a child, now felt completely unfazed by the most venomous insults.
