When We Meet Again As Strangers novel Chapter 5

I fell ill and spent several days resting at home.

In my feverish sleep, my mind was constantly flooded with those images.

The insults from Tyler and the revenge from Victor felt like two powerful currents, wildly surging in my mind.

I whimpered in pain, but couldn’t find any way to release it.

The phone rang for who knows how long before I picked it up, and the voice on the other end immediately started scolding me: “Jasmine, if you don’t want to pay the penalty for breach of contract, get over here and finish the mural now!”

My senses became a little clearer.

I could endure not taking the salary, but I definitely couldn’t afford to pay the penalty.

The Tyler family is rich and powerful, but before I married Tyler, I had signed a prenuptial agreement under his mother’s pressure.

His family’s wealth doesn’t belong to me, not a single penny.

Everyone laughs at me as a poor, discarded woman, but I don’t care at all. In fact, I even feel a little relieved by Tyler’s unexpected death.

I didn’t think about it any further and hurried to the company, numbly working on the mural. I didn’t see Victor for several days.

I heard he’s been busy with his engagement and hasn’t been around for a while.

It seems like he really likes Serena.

I unknowingly thought of the platinum band Victor had given me, the one he bought with his first earned money as a birthday gift.

He had said, “Jasmine, when we get married, I’ll buy you the most precious diamond.”

And now, that most precious diamond was on someone else’s finger.

A reporter asked him, “Mr. Chase, don’t you feel it’s a loss to pay ten times the price for that diamond?”

Victor smiled and replied, “My fiancée is worth it.”

Yes, she is worth it.
