Chapter 7
At every business dinner, Jonathan would show blatant favoritism toward Tiffany.
“Tiffany is so delicate and innocent. I hardly dare to touch her–I’m afraid of hurting her.”
“If any of you dare covet her, you’ll regret it.
“Emily is faded and dull–she’s not worth a single strand of Tiffany’s hair.”
He had treated her like a princess, making every woman envy her. Now he called her a mere plaything?
“No… impossible!” Tiffany shook her head, retreating step by step.
Jonathan released her throat, only to advance again, his gaze sharp as a blade.
“Why not possible? I gave you sunlight in public, and you really thought you were my princess?”
“What if I told you you were just a pawn to make Emily jealous? Would that hurt more? Hmm?”
Her eyes reddened, she stepped back numbly, shaking her head in disbelief.
“No… that’s not true. You can’t possibly not love me. You kept me all these years, never touched another woman but me. If I was just a tool, why keep me at your side?”
Jonathan’s lips curled cruelly.
“Because I love watching Emily’s jealous little tantrums. And you were the easiest way to provoke her.”
“Now, do you understand?”
The words crushed Tiffany. She sank to the floor, her legs giving way beneath her.
For years, she had relied on Jonathan’s favoritism, boldly challenging Emily at every turn.
Each time, Jonathan had shielded her.
She grew reckless. This time, she had destroyed the hospital’s power grid in a fit of spite.
But she hadn’t expected Jonathan to turn on her like this.
Before her eyes, Jonathan took out his phone and called the police.
Panic spread across Tiffany’s face.
“You can’t! Jonathan, you can’t hand me over!”
“I’m still young–I can’t go to prison-”
Jonathan stepped hard on the back of her hand, his voice cold as ice.
“You’re young? What about Emily? Did she deserve to be burned alive by you?”

“If I didn’t think it filthy, I’d kill you myself.”
When the police confirmed the case, Jonathan hung up and summoned his guards.
“Lock her in the basement. She doesn’t leave this house.”
Several burly men bound her tightly.
She wept, pleading for even a sliver of his mercy–but Jonathan was colder than stone.
At last the mansion fell silent. Jonathan slumped onto the sofa, drained.
His gaze swept the empty halls, and his chest caved in with a sudden ache.
He hadn’t yet told Emily that he never truly cared for Tiffany, never really lost his temper at her.
It had all been for Emily’s sake–to watch her sulk and pout in jealousy.
But now, it seemed, he would never have the chance.
Jonathan seized a glass, crushing it in his hand, blood dripping between his fingers.
“Dead or alive, I’ll find her. Even if I turn the earth upside down–I will find Emily!”
His guards rushed out to obey, leaving him alone with the alcohol.
Drink after drink, until the room spun.
In his drunken stupor, he thought he saw Emily’s soft face:
“No more drinking. Or I’ll ignore you, hmph.”
Jonathan set down the glass in a hurry, only to realize it was just an illusion.
The room was empty.
He raised the glass to shatter it against the floor when his phone rang.
“Mr. Miller,” a guard reported, “we checked the federal records. Mrs. Carter… has canceled her identity.”
