Chapter 2

Weakness combined with anger made me feel dizzy and I collapsed straight onto the bed.

"Imogen Reese, do you hear me?" Lily Bell's urgent voice rang out.

I leaned closer to the phone, "I can hear you."

"What's the matter with you? Stupidly pissed off? Why is your breath so weak?"

"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable."

Lily Bell looked righteously indignant, "He told you he was going out to work, he didn't realize it was a date with a beautiful woman, what a piece of work."

The Hawthorne Family has companies all over the world, and Evan works a lot and flies around a lot.

This time he was out of the country for most of the month, I thought he was going to work, but I didn't expect to be with my true love.

"Hey, why don't you say something. I sent you pictures, look at the way the two of them are holding hands and being intimate, what a place to put you."

In the photo, the tall, handsome Evan has a delicate hand hanging from his arm, none other than Lian Rivers with red nail polish and wavy curls.

I remember him saying that he was busy these days, not realizing that he was busy dating someone else.

"I also heard that your husband and mine are going to put on a fireworks show at Grand Plaza to honor the return of true love, a fireworks show that will last five hours and twenty minutes. Look at that, what a great moral."

I closed my eyes and couldn't say a word.

"A friend of mine is at Grand Plaza right now, I'll have her take pictures and video of us later."

Less than an hour later, the fireworks show that resounds throughout Oceanside City begins.

I stood on the balcony and could vaguely see shadows in the distance.

It wasn't long before Lily Bell sent photos and videos.

Evan and Lian Rivers stood together, making the people around them and the fireworks in the air a sideshow.

Lian Rivers, dressed in a pink Chanel suit and carrying a Ma high order in her hand, smiles like she owns the world.
