A thick stack of documents sat on the desk, and Ryan suddenly lost the courage to look through them.]
The moment Claire insisted it was Stella who caused her miscarriage, he was completely disappointed in her.[]
He hesitated, but finally opened the documents, his eyes widening in shock.[]
Surveillance from the café, surveillance from the yacht, surveillance from the hospital, and surveillance from the abandoned factory… along with evidence of Claire bribing bodyguards and homeless men.[]
All of it shattered Ryan’s perception of Claire.]
Not only that, but Claire wasn’t depressed at all, nor was she pregnant–everything had been fabricated by her.
“Claire, aren’t you afraid Ryan will find out how you’ve been targeting Stella?“[]
“What’s to be afraid of? That bitch brought it on herself! Even if Ryan finds out, so what? He’s madly in love with me–how could he bear to hurt me?”
…]
The recording stopped abruptly, and Ryan looked utterly incredulous.[]
He had thought that no matter how much Claire acted out, she had boundaries, but he never expected her to have so many hidden sides…
Meanwhile, Claire, who was getting a facial treatment, was suddenly awakened by urgent ringing.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Ryan contacting her, immediately perking up.[]
These past few days, Ryan had been inexplicably distant, avoiding her, so now that he was finally reaching out, she had to seize the opportunity.
She eagerly answered the phone, saying delightedly: “Ryan, did you miss me?”
On the phone, Ryan’s voice sounded normal, but something felt off to Claire.
“Come back to the villa now.“]]
Claire didn’t think much of it. She had the staff give her an elaborate makeup look, then drove to the hillside villa.]
The car sped along and soon arrived home.[]
However, inside the villa, the living room was pitch black, and even the air was filled with a cold atmosphere that made Claire shiver involuntarily.
She turned on the lights and saw Ryan sitting on the sofa, his face terribly grim, his eyes bloodshot as if he hadn’t slept in days.[]
Claire was somewhat puzzled and sat down beside him, intimately linking her arm with his as she acted coquettishly.[]
“Ryan, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?“[]

“You’ve been avoiding me lately and acting so cold. Do you not love
“nymore?“]
What had been meant as a casual joke–she’d already imagined Ryan coaxing her–was met with a brutal force that threw her to the ground.
Ryan kicked her hard in the stomach, his face filled with rage.]
“Love you? I must have been blind to fall for such a venomous
woman!“]
Hearing this, Claire’s face went pale as she quickly put on a pitiful act: “Ryan, did Stella come to see you? What did she tell you?“]
“Whatever she said, you can’t believe her! She’s just trying to break
up!”
The more pitiful Claire acted on the surface, the more she hated Stella inside.[]
The bodyguards she’d bribed had disappeared, and Stella had lost contact too.
But
she didn’t believe Stella was actually dead–like now, she subconsciously felt that Stella had returned.[]
Ryan sneered: “Claire, you’re still lying!“]
He threw the tablet in front of Claire, filled with evidence of all the vile things she’d done.//.
Claire’s heart sank as her face went completely white, and she hastily cried out explanations:]]
“Ryan, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to do this either! I just love you too much. I was afraid that one day you’d leave me and fall for Stella, so I made all these mistakes!“]]
“Please forgive me, okay? No matter what I did before, you never held it against me. You said you’d love me forever, Ryan!“]
She cried while recounting every detail of their passionate past, trying to move Ryan.[]
This tactic had always worked for her.|[]
But this time it didn’t.
Ryan looked at her with complete disappointment, his eyes frighteningly red, each word ice cold: “I wanted to keep loving you.“[]
“When I saw this evidence, I made up a thousand excuses for you in my mind. I couldn’t believe that the woman I’d loved for so many years could be so vicious!“]]
“Claire, I already promised you that I’d only love you for the rest of my life, that you’d be my only wife, but why did you still have to frame Stella?!”
“Framing her wasn’t enough–you even used my name to bribe my bodyguards and do those things to Stella! Are you even human?!“[]
Thinking of the surveillance video where Stella was pinned down by those homeless men, letting out desperate, heart–wrenching screams, his heart broke![]
Ryan’s eyes turned red as he said through gritted teeth:[]
“As a woman yourself, didn’t you feel any shame doing something like that?!“]
Claire’s heart sank as she felt the Ryan in front of her was terrifyingly unfamiliar.]

Looking at his nearly twisted, out–of–control expression, a flash of resentment and indignation crossed her eyes.]
She suddenly laughed: “Ryan, are you blaming me for Stella’s sake now?“]
“What is this? Have you fallen in love with her? But what the hell is she anyway?!“[]
“Ryan, you and Stella both disgust me!“]
Seeing her completely unrepentant attitude, Ryan flew into a rage, grabbing the picture frame from the coffee table and smashing it on the floor, glass shards scattering everywhere.[]
It was his and Claire’s wedding photo, which he had always treasured.]
But now, like their relationship, it was shattered beyond repair.]
