Chapter 2
I looked at him through the bloody mist, and my body grew colder and colder.
“Ryan, I’ve already said it-the wedding is canceled!”
Whack!
He slapped me in the face with a fierce look in his eyes.
He exuded a cold and hard aura.
“Emma, I’ll say it again! Know your place!”
“Even if you want to break up, you have to get through today. You can’t let Vanessa think she’s the reason for our di- vorce! She will be sad!”
I was almost laughing out of anger.
I couldn’t believe we needed someone else’s approval to hold our wedding.
I couldn’t believe we needed her approval to cancel it.
It was just ridiculous!
I threw off the clothes and was about to speak.
Ryan touched the ring on his finger.
A sweet smile instantly appeared on his face. I knew without thinking that it was a gift from Vanessa.
He wanted to hold a wedding banquet with me wearing a wedding ring given by another woman.
“How ridiculous.” I thought.
As if noticing my gaze, he glanced at me coldly and said, “Emma, disobey me again, and I will throw you out of the car, tie you up behind, and drag you over there just like that. You know I can do this.”
My heart felt stabbed.
I believed that he would really do so.
Last time we went to the movies, he threw me out of a moving car just because Vanessa was unhappy with my pres-
ence.
I rolled down the driveway and was hit hard by the car behind me, ending up with multiple fractures on my body.
I stayed in the hospital for half a year before I gradually got better.

Chapter 2
I didn’t want to suffer anymore, so I lowered my head to treat the wound and changed into clean clothes.
Ryan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
The InterContinental Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Chicago.
The car soon arrived at the hotel entrance.
Ryan booked the whole place. All kinds of flowers that Vanessa liked were placed outside the door.
There was a banner hanging above, and it had his and Vanessa’s names on it.
If someone saw and didn’t know any better, they might have thought that it was their wedding banquet.
I endured the pain and followed Ryan with an expressionless look on my face.
“Stop pretending! A little injury won’t kill you, hurry up!”
Ryan grabbed my hand in annoyance and dragged me inside.
He was afraid that Vanessa would wait too long.
I stumbled.
The wound on my forehead seemed to start bleeding again.
It wasn’t long before the gauze was soaked through.
Ryan looked at me with disdain. His expression became increasingly gloomy.
In the hall, all the guests were surrounding Vanessa.
They are all Ryan’s colleagues and friends.
As soon as Ryan and I appeared, the originally lively place suddenly became silent.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone shouted first.
“Mr. Mitchell.”
“Ryan, Emma, you are here?”
Everyone had a smile on their face.
Yet, the scene felt very eerie.
As soon as Ryan got inside, he left me on my own and walked to Vanessa.
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.”

Chapter 2
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.
