A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Steal? Honey, it's not stealing, if he was mine in the first place." Jean chuckled. "Three years ago, Terence's company was on the verge of bankruptcy. I can't marry such a man, so I put something in your wine. In the past three years, he hasn't even touched you after that. My Julia, you've only helped me seal the prize."

Jean's eyes glistened.

Suddenly, Julia's memories came rushing back. It was as if all the puzzle pieces were finally fitting together.

Julia remembered how 'out of it' she was that night. It was the very next day when Jean seized the opportunity to catch the both of them in bed.

She had thought she drank too much to sleep with her sister's fiance, only to turn out that she was framed!

Julia even remembered how an ironic smile flashed in Jean's face when she pushed the door open. Now, she finally knew the reason.

All the guilt she'd carried was in vain.

"So, you finally figured it out, huh?" Jean smiled vindictively. "Don't worry, Julia. Terence isn't a stingy person. As long as you agree to the divorce, you'll get a large sum of settlement. Your life will be much easier than being just an unknown actress in the entertainment circle."

"Compared to the settlement, I think being Mrs. Chen is far more valuable." Julia dug her nails deeper into her palm.

"As long as I don't divorce him, you'll only be known as another mistress." She laughed haughtily. "Don't worry, my sister. I won't divorce him till the day I die."

"Is it really interesting to stay with a man who doesn't love you?" Jean scoffed.

"I'm sure it's worth it." Julia smiled. "For as long as you're another shameless mistress on the road, it's always worth it."
