Chapter 7
When I returned to Cloud City, the weather was terrible. It was pouring rain. I braved the rain and went back to my old place.
If I didn’t go today, I was sure Quentin would throw away all my belongings. Surprisingly, he had already broken his promise.
When I opened the door, my things were scattered all over the room. A bad feeling rose in my heart. I rushed to the bedroom and
saw a wooden box on the floor. It was opened. Inside, my jade bracelet was visibly shattered.
“Heh.”
A laugh came from behind me. I turned around–it was Olivia.
“You broke my bracelet?!” I held the broken pieces and questioned her.
Olivia glanced at me with contempt, her voice laced with venom as she said, “You dared to marry Quentin, coveting what was
never yours! You’re just a vain woman. How could you possibly dream of rising above your status?
“A sparrow will never become a phoenix, and a phoenix will never turn into a wild hen! Consider this a lesson. Your fairytale is
over, haha!”
I stared at her in shock and hesitated before asking, “You… you didn’t lose your memory?”
Olivia chuckled and suddenly grabbed my hand, pressing a shard of the broken bracelet into my palm. She let out a sharp scream, “Ah! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Natalie, I didn’t mean to! I thought Quentin had another woman. I had no idea you were the one
renting this place! Please, forgive me!”
I turned my head just as Quentin stormed in, pushing me aside to cradle Olivia’s injured hand. Tears streamed down Olivia’s face
as she looked at me in fear, curling up in Quentin’s arms.
