Chapter 3

I've been his girlfriend ever since.

Seven years passed and we finally came to the day of our engagement.

In those seven years, Charles Torres never looked twice at the next person, even putting aside his own stubborn nature for me.

He learns to be calm, he learns to be down-to-earth, he learns to take power and take over everything in the Torres family slowly, like a real Torres family young master.

This left the Torres family parents, who had been more than a little displeased with me for being such a gatekeeper, unable to say anything else.

And I learned to be gentle, gave up my favorite profession for the satisfaction of the Torres family, learned to care for Charles Torres' body, learned the subterfuge of socializing in the capital, and coaxed the Torres family up and down.

Even my dad has risen through the ranks and is much more respected in the business world because he's climbed through a portal like the Torres family.

Charles Torres threw his money at me to create a lavish ceremony that the capital city relished.

At that time, I was the only one in his heart and eyes.

He said, Patricia Nelson, when the wedding is over, we're going to travel the world, and I'm going to make our wedding something that you can look back on later and show off to others.

He also said, Patricia Nelson, in fact, at the first sight back then, I fell in love with you, just that I was too good-looking to really say it, well now, it has finally come true.

So I assumed that Charles Torres was looking forward to this wedding and to starting a family with me as much as I was.

But I didn't realize that seven years, waiting for us, was such a dismal ending.

Charles Torres sneered as he held the diamond ring I'd thrown in his face.

"Patricia Nelson, don't think that I'm going to coax you obediently by using that argument, I'm not going to settle the score with you today, go back and think about it yourself!"

Ridiculous. Charles Torres still thinks that I'm the Patricia Nelson who loves him to the bone?

I meet him coldly, determination in my eyes.

"Charles Torres, I was never kidding you. We're done."

With that, I turned around and walked away.

Only to have his arm pulled by Charles Torres.

He finally realized that my look of seriousness didn't look fake, and that there was quite a bit of panic between my eyebrows.

"Patricia Nelson, you ..."

Alice Bruno, who had been neglected for a long time, suddenly coughed violently.

Charles Torres panicked and let go of his grip on my hand, turning back to pick up Alice Bruno and patting her back in a panic.

Luckily, I didn't harbor even the slightest expectation.

Otherwise now, I'm afraid I'll be sad again.

I had just pulled open the car door when Charles Torres roughly yanked me out.

"Jiajia's having an attack, she needs to be seen quickly, driver, get to the nearest hospital!"

I was furious.

"Charles Torres, you're sick, this is my car!"

Charles Torres had held Alice Bruno up so that she was halfway in the car.

His face was cold.

"Can't you understand? Jia Jia is having an attack! How dare you, a person who doesn't know how to respect life at all!?"

I insisted on grabbing the car door and refusing to let go.

At this point, Alice Bruno, who was a master at feigning illness, gasped and tugged on Charles Torres' sleeve.

"Brother Yanzhi, let me have a word with my sister-in-law."

...

Disoriented, I let go and let Charles Torres speed along with Alice Bruno.

Alice Bruno's words echoed in my ears.

"Patricia Nelson, the gang of assholes that tried to kidnap you back then, were found by Brother Yanzhi."
