The metallic taste in my throat surged up and I spat blood straight onto the window glass. Even through the crimson haze, I could still see Ryan’s hands roaming freely over Yumi…

In that instant, everything became clear.

No wonder that even when I’d threatened her, saying that if she left the country, I would find another woman, she had still chosen to go. It was because she was certain of one thing: I loved her.

She knew that no matter how heartless my words sounded, I would never actually break up with her. She was sure I would chase her overseas. And from the smallest hints in my words, she had already guessed I would come find her on her birthday.

So three months in advance, she found Ryan—all for the sake of teaching me a lesson for that cruel thing I said—that I wouldn’t wait for her.

Suddenly, a long needle pricked my thigh. “I hear you’re the only son of a billionaire? Haha, so what? No woman can escape my brother’s control. Don’t even think about her again!”

Gritting my teeth, I swallowed the metallic taste of blood in my mouth and obediently nodded.

In the end, the pain overwhelmed me and I fainted.
