Chapter 4
“Marcus, you’re unbelievable! I never want to see you again!”
I got into my car crying and drove away.
I went to a bar alone, pouring bottle after bottle down my throat while my tears kept
flowing.
When I was nearly unconscious from drinking, Henry came to find me.
“Why did you drink so much?”
I clung to his arm, sobbing uncontrollably.
“I’ve already decided to give up, so why does it still hurt so much!”

He gently stroked my hair and said, “Georgina, stop looking back. Look forward—maybe happiness is waiting for you there.”
I looked up and punched him.
“Looking forward I see you, but you don’t even like women. You can’t be with me, so what’s the point!”
“You silly girl, did you really believe I don’t like women? If you’re willing, I’ll marry you and spend my life with you, never getting divorced!”
I punched him again, slurring my words, “That’s the spirit! I’ll marry you! We’ll be together and show those bastards!”
When I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache, I realized I had blacked out the night before and couldn’t even remember who brought me home.
Mom pushed open the door with warm honey water in her hand. Seeing my haggard appearance, she shed tears of concern.

“Georgina, it’s all our fault. We lost you back then. If you had grown up with us, we would never have let you be with that jerk.”
I smiled to comfort her, “It’s all in the past. Don’t blame yourselves. Besides, Marcus treated me decently over the years.”
“Decently? What nonsense! Look at this!”
She angrily handed me her phone to show me the content.
It was photos of me with them at the filming location yesterday.
The headline read: [Gold Digger’s Hypocritical Mask Torn Off by Legitimate Wife, Fans
Heartbroken Over Actress Lucia Sandwood’s Ordeal]
Throughout the article, I was portrayed as a vicious mistress who deceived Marcus while fantasizing about taking Lucia’s place.
I couldn’t even finish reading the whole thing because it painted me in such a horrible
light.
Many people were even threatening to cyberbully mé, to dox me to avenge their idol.
They even included a close–up of my Ferrari, claiming it was bought with money stolen from the company, and that they would repossess the vehicle.
This fabricated news made me laugh with anger.
“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s okay, I’ll handle it myself.”
“How can you handle it when they’re smearing a young woman like you with such filth? Your father said he wants to take care of that Marcus.”
Just then, my phone rang. It was Marcus calling.
After I answered, his voice was filled with anger, “Georgina, where are you? Come to the company right now and explain about that five hundred thousand!”

I shot back without hesitation, “I will come to the company, but that money has nothing to
do with me. I can’t explain it to you. I’m only coming to resign. Please have HR prepare the
paperwork. I’ll be there to sign the termination agreement.”
“You! Georgina, are you doing this on purpose? You know my company is at a critical moment for going public. Are you creating this scandal to sabotage me?
“I know you’re upset, but didn’t I promise to make it up to you? And this is the last time. Why are you pulling this stunt?
“Considering all the years you’ve been with me, I’ll give you time to come up with a reason. Whatever it is, as long as you explain it clearly, I can keep this from getting out. I don’t want this matter to reach the police.
“And since that car was bought with company funds, you should return it.
“I’ll be waiting for you at the company.
After listening to his machine–gun–like speech, I couldn’t help but laugh.
