Chapter 4

A short while later, Jennifer woke up.

She looked at me with tearful eyes. "Wendy, am I not your sister? Why do you have to do this to me?"

Rick glared at me. "I knew it was you! Why did you do it, you madwoman?"

Jennifer lay in Rick's arms looking weak. "Rick... Wendy said... that I'm not Mindy... Rick... please tell me it's not true."

"Of course, it's not true! She's just jealous, that's all." Rick pulled Jennifer into his embrace.

"It's impossible for me to make a mistake. You're Mindy."

I couldn't stand them anymore. I took out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Rick. "Let's get a divorce, Rick."

Rick looked at me with a face full of disgust. "What games are you playing again?"

"Sign the paperwork and then I won't stop you from being with whoever you want."

Rick became a little hesitant.

I knew what he was hesitating about. "Our families will continue to be business partners."

Jennifer looked at Rick with tears in her eyes.

Rick asked after a while, "Are you serious?"

I pretended to reach for the divorce agreement. "Forget about it then."

He quickly grabbed the divorce agreement. "Since that's the case, then I'll give you what you want."

A month later, I finally filed our divorce papers and felt relieved.

Standing in front of the courthouse, Rick suddenly said, "Wendy, there's an order of arrival for love. If you were the person I met first, I would definitely fall in love with you."

He looked at me passionately.

I cocked my brows, put on my sunglasses, and left.

A week later, Rick came to our house as Jennifer's boyfriend.

Jennifer leaned against him coquettishly. "Mom, Dad, please agree to our marriage. Rick and I truly love each other."

My parents didn't know what to say. They gave me a complicated look.

Seeing this, Jennifer walked over and wrapped her arms around mine. "Wendy, you would definitely agree, right? Besides, you're already divorced. You don't still love Rick, do you?"

Rick's eyes flashed as he looked at me.

I pushed Jennifer's hands away. "I wish you all the best. Besides, I also have a promise for you."

"What's that?" Rick asked desperately.

I replied slowly, "If you divorce Jennifer, then I'll withdraw all of my family's investments."

"Are you satisfied, Mindy?" I asked Jennifer with a smile.

Jennifer didn't expect me to give such a promise and was taken aback. "Wendy..."

She then said with joy, "Of course, I'm satisfied. You're the best, Wendy."

Two months later, a grand wedding was held in Heliafield. There were flowers everywhere and the two on stage had bright smiles on their faces.

Seeing them exchanging wedding rings, I became in a little bit of a daze.

"Is this really okay?" my mother asked.

I came back to my senses. "I gave them a choice."

As I said those words, the two had already walked off stage and were walking towards me.

Jennifer held a glass of wine and said, "Wendy, I wish you would be as happy as I am."

I didn't drink and just gave them the wedding gift that I had prepared.

"One for each of you. Open it when you get home. I wish you all the best."

I tidied Jennifer's wedding veil. "Mindy, I hope you can be this happy every day."

I picked up a glass of wine and downed the whole glass.

Late at night, I heard my phone ring. I answered the call with my eyes closed. "Hello?"

The person on the other end of the line was sobbing. "I'm sorry... Mindy. I... regret my decision."

That would be a wise option for you," he said pointing at the door, while he waited for my reply. The silence stretched between us. My heart pounded so fast in my chest, I could almost swear he could hear it. My mind told me to run from this man. He looked dangerous, and he'll suck me into whatever hell he crawled out of.
