“Miss Walker seems in high spirits, even though your husband is in jail. You still have the mind to dine at such an expensive restaurant?”
I hadn’t expected to run into him here. Simon Parker was wearing a simple white shirt with the top two buttons undone, a silver–gray blazer casually draped over his forearm. He looked exceptionally clean and sharp.
I smiled sweetly at him.
“Sorry, I’m getting a divorce. You won’t be my creditor much longer.”
He raised an eyebrow, scanning me from
head to toe.

“Miss Walker, you have a great figure. No wonder your husband was so confident.”
For the first time, I found a man’s compliment to be so rude. I didn’t want to engage with him and stepped into the elevator.
To my surprise, Simon Parker followed me in, standing facing me with a sneer.
“Did you know? Your husband won’t be able to pay up. He’ll be in jail for at least ten years. Of course, with my personality, I could have him there for life.”
I shrugged.
“So what?”
Simon Parker pulled out his phone and
shoved it in front of me.

“Your husband wants to use you to pay off his debt.”
His gaze dropped to my chest, as if calculating how much I was worth.
“He said you’re still a virgin.”
Looking at the chat history on the screen, my limbs went cold, and I felt as though a thunderbolt had struck me.
The atmosphere in the elevator was stifling. I took deep breaths, struggling to calm myself.
“I’ll say it again. I’m divorcing him. His debt has nothing to do with me.”
Simon Parker withdrew his phone with some regret. I let out a breath of relief, but then,

out of nowhere, he pulled me into his arms. My stomach pressed painfully against his belt.
“What are you doing?”
I struggled to push him away, my neck flushed red.
The elevator doors opened. Simon Parker patted my head with an extraordinarily ambiguous smile.
“Dump the loser, and come into my arms instead. I’m very interested in you.”
As I watched his retreating figure, I rolled my eyes with all the force I could muster.
Full and satisfied, it was still early, and suddenly, I had the urge to go to a bar.

Before I knew it, I was sitting in a booth, already having ordered a drink at the seating booth.
I was dressed particularly provocatively tonight, and soon, a few young men approached me to strike up a conversation, but I turned them all down.
In an instant, I became an unattainable flower, admired from a distance but not to be touched, and most men only dared to watch from afar.
Before long, colorful cocktails were brought to my table. I took a sip, and the taste was quite pleasant. With the bar’s atmosphere surrounding me, I loosened up and drank more freely.
The cocktails had quite a kick. By late into the night, I stubbornly finished every drink,

throwing up twice in the restroom before drunkenly leaning against the wall, preparing to head home.
As I passed by the door of a private room, a figure suddenly caught and steadied me. The voice of surprise reached my ears.
“Clara Walker? Is that Clara Walker? What are you doing here?”
It was only under the light that I recognized the person–my college classmate, Lucy.
She had married after graduation and moved abroad with her husband to do business. Now, she was living the life of a pampered, rich wife.
We hadn’t seen each other in years, but back in school, we were very close, inseparable
roommates.

“Lucy…”
I was too drunk to speak clearly and collapsed into her arms, crying uncontrollably.
For the past few days, I had felt calm inside. I thought I was a free–spirited, strong woman of the new era.
But now I realized, I still cared. I had just been forcing myself to suppress the pain. Seeing someone who truly cared about me, I couldn’t hold back any longer and broke down.
“Are you alone?”
Lucy glanced around, seeing that I was by myself, and dragged me into the private
room.

Inside, there were many people gathered together, but I couldn’t make out who they were. I clung to Lucy’s neck and drank and anyway, someone lifted me, so I completely let go.
Through the dizzying haze, I thought I saw an incredibly handsome face. Lucy had to step away to vomit as I dunked her, and immediately, I staggered toward the guy in the corner.
He was so handsome–Alan Simpson was handsome too, tall with big eyes, but he couldn’t compare to this man. The more I thought about it, the more miserable I felt. I hadn’t even had the chance to be in a relationship with a handsome guy, let alone sleep with a scumbag. How pathetic I was.
I wrapped my arm around the man’s neck,

and he seemed lost in his own world, only glancing at me now.
Wait, why does he look so familiar?
“Simon Parker! Why won’t you just leave me alone!”
I jumped up, causing a loud commotion that made everyone else look over.
Lucy came back, saw me and Simon Parker staring at each other, and thought we were hitting it off. She immediately started trying to play matchmaker.
At first, I wanted to run, but then a few people surrounded me and poured more alcohol into me. Before I knew it, I was dragging Simon Parker onto the dance floor, and after that… I just lost all sense of everything.
