Deadly Affection: My Husband Wants Me Dead - Chapter 15

When we divorced, I received seventy percent of Jiang Ciyue’s personal assets.

My father would never get to see me living a destitute life.

He, on the other hand, was intentionally targeted by Jiang Ciyue’s business maneuvers. Within three years, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

He had my mother come and ask me for help, but I politely declined.

He had leeched off the Jiang family and me for so long. The fact that his company hadn’t collapsed sooner was a blessing.

Still, as a daughter, I gave them a sum of money for their retirement.

Anything beyond that was no longer my concern.

That year, I turned twenty-seven.

On my birthday, a courier delivered a gift box to my door.

Inside was a dazzling set of jewelry.

Just a week earlier, I had posted a picture of it on my social media account.

It was a limited edition and incredibly hard to buy.

I had casually complained about it in my post.

I never expected it would be in my hands so quickly.

I didn’t need to guess who sent it. It had to be Jiang Ciyue.

No one else would send me jewelry worth a fortune without batting an eye.

I just hadn’t realized that, even after three years, he was still secretly following my life.

But what did it matter?

I had long since learned to love myself. I no longer needed his love.

I closed the door and casually tossed the jewelry box onto the sofa.

I picked up my freshly made juice and sat on the wicker chair to bask in the sun.

Outside, the sunlight was warm, and everything was beautiful.
