That Tear of Pure Love Had Faded Over the YearsChapter 1

At the wedding venue, Yasmin Harrell suddenly appeared.

After seeing this, Leonard Matthews quickly took off his wedding ring and explained in a panic that he had been coerced.

My seven-year-old son dropped the flower basket and ran over to hug Yasmin, acting coquettishly.

The big one and the small one left the bride and chased after the other girl.

I became a laughing stock.

The guests pointed their fingers at me and said I was a mistress who stole someone else's love.

Leonard also scolded me. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for letting Yasmin know."

However, what the father and son did not know was that I had already agreed to implement the Syrena Space Program.

——

I was only waiting for a week to depart and never see them again.

After Leonard left, the guests I warmly invited surrounded me.

They commented one after another.

"It's useless if you can't even tie up a man."

"I think you held the wedding just to get the money from the gift. It's really ugly."

"What bad luck! Spit out all the money!"

Every word was heartbreaking, but I remain calm and composed.
