The ambulance arrived quickly and took Monica away.
Only Miles was left behind. He tried to reach out to me with his bloodstained hands, but Daniel kicked him away.
“Disgusting.”
That one word, combined with the expression of deep contempt on my face, pierced straight. through Miles’s heart.
He choked on his words as he tried to speak.
‘I didn’t know everything was orchestrated by Monica. I truly realize I was wrong, Lulu. Can you give me another chance? We can have many children together…”
He knelt down as he said this, completely discarding the arrogant attitude he used to have in front of me. He let go of his pride and bowed his head.
However, I looked at him with nothing but disdain.
Another chance?” I scoffed coldly. “Have you ever shown me even the slightest kindness? You allowed Monica to barge into our home and cause a scene during our engagement party, making me the laughingstock of everyone.”
“Then, during your bachelor party, you kissed Monica passionately, completely ignoring my feelings. You tore off my clothes in front of everyone. Do you even understand? That wasn’t just fabric, Miles. It was my dignity.”
At that moment, all the memories of humiliation came flooding back, each one like a blade cutting into my skin.
Faced with my words, Miles was left speechless.
“I’m sorry… but men make mistakes all the time. Please forgive me, okay? Give me a chance to make it right. I really love you. If I didn’t, why would I travel thousands of miles to attend an Overseas auction just to buy you a diamond ring?”
‘This diamond ring cost me all my savings…”
As he said that, he took out the nine–carat diamond ring. I could not help but laugh the moment I saw it. Miles did not understand at first, but when his eyes landed on the 88–carat diamond ring on my finger, his pupils suddenly shrank.
‘Not only this diamond ring, but everything at today’s wedding from the lavish decorations, the roses shipped in by air, and even the red wine worth millions was arranged by Daniel and he paid every single of it with his own money.”
was speaking up for Daniel.
Even at the very beginning of the wedding, I had overheard the whispers and gossip.
Everyone assumed that all of this was provided by the Westbrook Family and even said that the bride’s diamond ring was self–funded.
I was furious, but Daniel, foolishly content, had smiled and said that as long as people witnessed our ties here, he would be happy.

Even though he said that I still cared deeply, so now, I announced the truth like this.
I wanted everyone to know that Daniel was not just the Westbrook Family’s son–in–law and definitely not some weakling hiding behind others.
And in comparison, Miles’s diamond ring now looked utterly pitiful next to the one on my hand.
‘How is this possible? He’s been away in the rainforest handling the least profitable projects for the Westbrook Family, so how could he possibly be this successful?”
Hearing his disbelief, I lifted the corners of my mouth with indifference.
‘Miles, is it so hard to admit someone else’s success and your own failure?” I said, my voice aced with open disdain. “You’ve been at the center of power, sitting in the general manager’s seat at the Westbrook Group for so long, yet you haven’t earned a single penny for the company.”
‘Instead, you’ve been draining the company’s funds and my personal savings just to support your foreign mistress. But your brother, Daniel, turned projects that nobody had faith in into tens of millions in net profit for the company.”
‘He even managed to open up new markets on his own. The Vaughn Group, which he founded, is already showing signs of surpassing the Westbrook Group.”
As soon as the words left my mouth, the entire audience fell into a shocked uproar.
No one could believe that the person behind the rapidly rising Vaughn Group was actually the most low–key adopted son of the Westbrook Family.
