I didn’t miss the expression of delighted surprise on Tessa’s face.
But Lucas loudly objected: “You’re just saying this out of anger. How could you not love me? On your mother’s death anniversary, you were willing to argue with your father rather than leave me.”
“If you just leave like this, what about my company? Are you willing to abandon the business we’ve built together?”
I couldn’t hold back my anger anymore and shouted:
“You have no right to mention my dad! I can’t believe I was blind to a scumbag like you for so long. When you were in bed with Tessa, did you think about what would happen to the company?”
“Since…”

At this moment, a sudden cry came from the crowd of onlookers. When I realized what was happening, Tessa had collapsed on the ground,
clutching her chest.
This trick again, she really doesn’t get tired of it.
Lucas immediately rushed forward to hold her, calling out her name loudly.
She opened her eyes slightly, as if giving her last words: “Lucas, it’s all my fault. Don’t worry about me anymore. Just let me fend for myself. I don’t blame you.”
“Don’t say that. I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
I consciously stepped aside to make way for them, feeling genuinely happy deep down.
Thanks to her for helping me make a clean break. Otherwise, I would have worried about Lucas not letting me board the plane.
Early the next morning, I left with just a few personal items.
On the plane, before turning off my phone, I received a video from Tessa. She was eager to claim her territory and also sent me evidence of
their affair.
In the video, they were embracing, with Tessa’s upper body almost naked and Lucas sleeping in her arms.
She seemed very skilled at using her voluptuous figure to attract Lucas.
Previously, I had seen selfies of her trying on lingerie on Lucas’s unlocked phone.
In the message, she asked him: “Does it look good? Do you think pink or red suits me better?”
And he wasn’t stingy with his praise: “Looks good. Buy both. I’ll pay for them.”
At that time, I was furious, but he accused me of being jealous of his “little sister,” saying that in his eyes, she was just like a child.
Now I was exceptionally calm. I simply saved the video and blocked the number.
It wasn’t until I turned on my phone after landing that I saw countless missed calls and messages from Lucas.
No matter how much he didn’t want to believe it, he finally understood that I had really left.
I didn’t expect him to move so quickly. He arrived in my hometown that very evening.
I was having dinner with my father, enjoying our long–overdue father–daughter time, when the villa’s security reported an intruder.
It turned out that when he couldn’t reach me by phone, he chose to go around to the back of the villa and shout under my bedroom window.
After warnings from the neighbors were ineffective, they chose to call the police. The police asked me to come downstairs.

He, like a madman, pointed at my neighbor and asked me: “Is he the reason you’re willing to leave me? Are you so eager to find the next one?”
The neighbor, wearing slippers and pajamas, was confused and proclaimed his innocence.
I couldn’t stand it anymore and looked at him like he was insane: “Are you sick? If you want to go crazy, go somewhere else. Don’t make a scene at my home.”
At this moment, he was like an abandoned puppy, tearfully complaining to the police about my heartlessness and cruelty.
After the police warned him not to disturb private residences again, he quieted down for two days.
But I didn’t expect Tessa to be even crazier than him.
Somehow, she managed to sneak into my company building and went up to the roof, even starting a live stream.
An assistant rushed in, sweating profusely: “Miss Li, there’s a girl upstairs who insists on seeing you. She’s threatening to jump off the
