Chapter 4

Once the three brothers had left, the originally weak Tammy instantly put on a different expression. She quickly stepped forward to block Blaire's path.

"Ms. Presley, this watch is so beautiful. May I take a look at it? Since it's for the three brothers, I can help you see who it would suit best."

Blaire looked at her coldly and firmly refused. "It's not for them."

Tammy's expression stiffened for a moment before she sneered. "Ms. Presley, don't you know that it's really pathetic to play hard to get?

"Well, I can understand you. You have put in so much effort, but they still don't love you. Of course, you can only resort to desperate measures."

With that, Tammy took advantage of Blaire's momentary distraction, grabbed the watch from Blaire, and smashed it onto the floor. In an instant, the watch worth a hundred million dollars shattered into pieces.

Blaire watched it happen in disbelief. Her anger surged up, and she raised her hand to slap Tammy across the face. The sound of a crisp slap echoed, and Tammy instinctively covered her swollen face in a daze.

However, Blaire felt it wasn't enough to vent her anger. When she wanted to slap Tammy again, her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly.

"Stop!" The three brothers suddenly rushed over and stared at Blaire coldly.

Seeing that her backers had arrived, Tammy immediately teared up. "Anthony, Brandon, Cameron, please let Ms. Presley hit me. It's my fault that I broke the watch she planned to give you. She has the right to be angry."

Brandon immediately felt bad for her. While wiping away her tears with his fingertips, he comforted her gently. "Don't cry, Tammy. The watch is for us, after all. It doesn't matter if it's broken."

Cameron's face turned extremely cold as he looked at Blaire with disgust. "It's just a watch, and yet you hit Tammy because of it. Blaire, you're really out of control.

"When you bid the watch for us, did you ever consider that we didn't even want it?"

Anthony's face was even darker, and he immediately called several bodyguards over. "Throw her into the pool. This is her punishment for hitting Tammy."

The bodyguards heard the order and immediately went over to throw Blaire, who was still in a daze, into the pool.

With a loud splash, Blaire was completely submerged and instantly became a drenched mess. What made it even more hopeless was that she couldn't swim at all.

"Help… Help…" She frantically flailed, but it only caused more water to rush into her nose and fill her lungs. She gradually lost her strength, and her movements became weaker. Her body felt heavier, the air in her lungs grew scarce, and everything in front of her blurred.

Just before losing consciousness, she heard the conversation of a few people by the pool.

"Anthony, Brandon, Cameron, it seems like Ms. Presley can't swim. Is she going to be okay?"

"She'll be fine. She's always been good at pretending. Now she's pretending that she can't swim, probably just to get us to look at her more."

"Tammy, you're too kind. She hurt you, but you still spoke up for her. She brought this upon herself."

"Yes, it's better if she dies. That way, we won't have to marry her."

Blaire was overwhelmed with despair. The darkness slowly consumed her, and her body continued to sink as she lost consciousness entirely.

When she regained consciousness, the sharp smell of disinfectant filled her nose.

She struggled to sit up. The doctor, who had been taking care of her for years, looked at her with deep concern and persuaded her. "Ms. Presley, you can't keep neglecting your health like this.

"Last time, you broke two ribs while trying to save the three brothers of the Carter family during the earthquake. Your body isn't as good as it used to be. How could you stay in the pool for so long?"

Just then, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Anthony, Brandon, and Cameron rushed in and asked in unison, "Who did you just say saved us during the earthquake?"

I was the ultimate trophy wife, a polished ornament in Francisco Zimmerman’s billionaire empire. For three years, I perfected the "Zimmerman Wife Smile," playing the role of the devoted partner while smoothing the Egyptian cotton of his shirts. The illusion shattered when I stood outside his study and heard him laughing with his mistress, Annalise. "She’s just a vase that only knows how to smile," Francisco’s voice was cold, devoid of any warmth. "As long as I pay the maintenance fees on time, she stays obedient." I walked out that night with nothing but a canvas bag and the clothes on my back. But Francisco wasn't finished with his "asset."
