I stood there with blood all over my face, looking miserable.
“You and your wife are indeed quite a couple, Mr. Mitchell. This wedding banquet is very grand.”
Some people laughed playfully, but those laughs had other meanings to
them.
Hearing this, the people around Ryan snorted in dissatisfaction.
“I’m angry.”
Ryan suddenly got nervous and tried to calm her down. “Vanessa, who made you angry again?”
Vanessa was wearing a gray long skirt with a blue Dacron shirt on top.
She was wearing a pair of calfskin shoes and had curly hair.
Her face was rosy, and she looked vibrant.
She looked nothing like a widow who had just lost her husband.
She was clearly Ryan’s treasure.
She glanced at me and said unhappily, “I set up the scene, invited the guests, and worked hard for a long time. I should at least get credit for working hard, right?”
Ryan appeased her softly. “Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work,
Vanessa.”
He put his arms around Vanessa’s waist and deliberately kissed the corner of her lips in front of me.
He didn’t care about their actual relationship at all.

“Ryan, don’t you think you should thank me properly?”
Ryan didn’t even think about it. “How would you like me to do it?”

She moved her hands around Ryan’s waist and said ambiguously, “I want you to kiss me again, Ryan.”
“What’s so difficult about this?”
Ryan did not hesitate and kissed Vanessa in public.
He didn’t care at all that I, his legal wife, was there.
There were whistles and cheers all around.
Everyone looked at me with a sarcastic look on their faces.

Chapter 3
Vanessa was Ryan’s sister–in–law. Things hadn’t been the same since Ryan’s older brother passed away.
Ryan used the excuse of taking care of his widowed sister–in–law to run errands for her every day.
At that time, I already felt that their relationship was too close.
But as soon as I said that, Ryan thought I was crazy. He thought that I was jealous of my widowed sister–in–law and said that I had no heart.
I used to argue with him, and I ended up looking like a lunatic every time.
Even his colleagues and subordinates thought I was not worthy of him.
They thought that he and Vanessa should be a couple.
Every time I heard something like this, I would always go crazy.
But now…
I watched them kissing without reacting, completely numb.
“They love each other so much, so it should be easy for me to just leave, right?” I thought.
After a long time, Vanessa seemed to recall that I was around. She pushed Ryan away and said maliciously, “Ryan, Emma is still watching here.”
She smiled and asked me, “Emma, you won’t be jealous, will you?”
“Why would I?”

I laughed easily.
“Look at you two, a perfect couple. I am so happy for you.”

I looked at Ryan again. “Since you two love each other so much, you should divorce me as soon as possible for the sake of your sister–in–law.”
When Ryan heard this, he turned glum immediately.
Vanessa held his hand, a dark aura flashing in her eyes.
Immediately, she spoke aggrievedly.
“Emma, do you dislike me so much? Ryan just feels sorry that I lost my husband, and you want me to bear the blame for causing your divorce?”
She let go of Ryan’s hand. “If that’s the case, I’d better leave.”
Ryan hurriedly grabbed her hand and glared at me fiercely.
“Emma, you just refuse to understand this, no? Vanessa has a hard time living alone. I’m just helping my brother take care of her. Why do you have to cause her trouble and make her sad?”
I felt sad deep down.
I thought I wouldn’t be sad, but I still felt sad.
“Sorry to bother you. I’ll go home now.”
I turned around to leave, but Vanessa rushed over to stop me.
“Emma, today is your wedding banquet with Ryan, how can you leave…”
I didn’t want to pay attention to her and just wanted to walk away.
She suddenly cried out and fell flat on the ground.

She seemed to have twisted her ankle and yelped. She then leaned into Ryan’s arms and choked up. “Ryan, don’t blame Emma. She didn’t trip me on purpose. It was all my fault that I lost my footing.”
Ryan suddenly turned his head and glared at me, the look in his eyes looking like he was wishing he could eat me up.
“Emma, why are you so vicious?
“Since I have warned you countless times and you just won’t listen, then don’t blame me for doing this!”
He gave a look, and immediately the guards rushed over and pinned me to the ground.
He glared at me hatefully, then turned around and asked Vanessa gently, “Vanessa, did she hurt you. What do you have to do to forgive her?”
“I can do whatever I want? This won’t be appropriate, no?” Vanessa was
worried.
He didn’t hesitate. “As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
When everyone heard this, they all looked like they were enjoying a good show.
I felt a chill in my heart.
I felt myself being even more ridiculous.
I actually loved such a person for eight whole years.
He had taken care of Vanessa for the past two years, under the pretext of

taking care of his older brother’s widow. I repeatedly tolerated him, thinking that I could make him change his mind.
But now, it was time for a reality check.
“Ryan, since you said so, I will naturally have to do something…”
Vanessa smiled strangely and looked at me.

“Emma just tripped me. So, Ryan, break one of her legs and we’ll call it even. Sound good?”
Ryan frowned slightly.
I was shocked and shouted, “No!
“Ryan, I couldn’t afford to have damaged legs!”
As soon as Vanessa opened her mouth, I knew what she was up to.
She and I were in the same dance troupe, and I was the lead dancer. I would also be taking part in a performance in a few days.
If things went well, I would be promoted soon.
If I ended up injured and couldn’t perform, the opportunity would go to
Vanessa.
And Ryan knew exactly what I cared about most.
If my legs were broken, I would never be able to go on stage again!
My dreams would all be ruined!
He looked at me with a complicated expression.
Vanessa cried out in pain. “Ryan, my foot hurts so much…”
