My response stumped Lyle. He let me go and sat back on the couch and lit another cigarette. He leisurely smiled and said, “I have presented the way to glory right in front of your eyes. As long as you’re willing to become my woman, I’ll give you everything you want. However, if you’re not willing to do so, you will be in a situation far worse than what you’re facing right now.”
“Are you threatening me?” I shook my head and smiled. When did I become so desirable? He even threatened me to make me his woman.
“No. It’s just a suggestion. Eve, I am doing this for you. We were once husband and wife. Come back to me and be my wife again; be a loving daughter-in-law. You’ll just be returning to where you started. That’s all.” Lyle turned on the TV casually as he spoke.
The TV was showing an official news broadcast, and the report was about the incident on how I pushed Crystal down the stairs at the hotel. They even showed the screenshot of the hotel video and reported it as breaking news.

I looked toward Lyle and saw him looking at me with eyes of determination, expecting me to give in. He was filled with arrogance, just like when he proposed to me two years ago, waiting for me to go to him. That was probably the primary difference between Lyle and Christopher.
Christopher would never stand and wait for me to go to him. He would come to me, express his love for me, work hard to treat me well, and pamper me.
“I still remember that you were the one who proposed to me,” I said.
“I will clarify with the journalists. I believe Grandma will also be willing to stand up and speak for you,” Lyle explained.
I smirked and said to Lyle, “I have three words for you. Take a guess.”
Lyle paused for a moment, and suddenly, he showed a glimmer of excitement and joy in his eyes. He rubbed his fingers and said excitedly, “I knew it. You still love me. Come here. Say those three words loudly to me now. It will be the most beautiful confession we ever have.”
Lyle opened his arms, welcoming me into his embrace. I walked toward him, slowly closing in, and the smile on his face gradually became brighter and brighter.
“Eve, when we were on the island, I was captivated by your kindness and beauty. Your tenacity and persistence attracted my love like a magnet. I never knew that my wife was such a wonderful woman. I’ve regretted countless nights for not treating you better. Fortunately, we still have a chance, I-”
“Slap!” The ringing sound of a slap interrupted Lyle.
Without showing any sympathy, I slapped him real hard. Does he think that love can be obtained by threatening me? It is too late for regrets now.
“The three words that I wanted to tell you is—f*ck you assh*le!” I smirked and said to him
“Yvonne!” Lyle was startled by my actions. He rubbed his cheek and was stunned. After a while, he raised his arms and wanted to hit me, but I didn’t avoid him and just looked at him coldly.
However, Lyle ended up not hitting me. He exclaimed with anger, “Yvonne, know your place. You will regret this. You think you will have a happy ending with Christopher, but it’s impossible. This is the last chance I’m giving you. I will marry Crystal at the end of the month. I hope you will not regret it.”
Of course, I wouldn’t regret it. I would be relieved if he married Crystal. At least he would stop bugging me. I pointed to the door and spoke, mimicking Christopher’s nonchalant expression. “I have three more words for you. Do you see the door? Get out now!”
That night, I received a package. It was from the art exhibition. Holding the box, I carefully opened the wrapper and took out all of my competing art. Tears were pooling at the edge of my eyes. My works were all destroyed by people, and I couldn’t see their original form anymore.
