Chapter 1 Lisa, I Lied To You

• Lisa's POV
• I was abandoned by my boyfriend on our wedding day without any explanation this morning. I can't believe he did this to me, and I want to find out the reason.
• It was already 10pm in the night. I was still standing in the doorway of his Rosehouse, waiting for him.
• Suddenly the lights of a car lit up on the dark road in front of the Rousehouse. I recognized that was his blue Mercedes Benz.
• I immediately rushed over to the car, stretching out my arms to stop in front of it.
• Sharp brakes squealed and the car finally stopped just as it was about to hit me.
• Colin, my boyfriend, slowly lowered the window. Then I saw Jessica, my good friend, was also in the car, wearing the customized black Chanel dress that Colin had reserved for me last month!
• I froze in shock for a moment and then I realised that Coline was cheating on me with Jessica!
• I couldn't help myself and yelled at them, “What are you doing?”
• Colin gave me a cold look, and then said, "Lisa, We're done. Jessica is my new girlfriend now. "
• “Why?”
• I couldn't believe what I had just heard! Coline and I have been in love for five years and just yesterday we were still rehearsing our wedding ceremony together, so why has everything changed in just one day?
• I stared into Coline's eyes, demanding an explanation. Then I saw a somewhat complicated look on his face.
• "Lisa, I am sorry. I lied to you. I never loved you. I chose to get engaged to you just because you are your grandfather's only heir, and his company is the top 3 investment companies.
• But early this morning, I got the news that your grandfather's investment in the Middle East has failed, and he is about to go bankrupt. You have no use for me any more."
• I felt as if my heart had suddenly been clutched hard, and I hurt so much that I could barely breathe!
• My grandfather's company, Smith Trust, was the top 3 investment companies since thirty years ago, and at that time Colin's parents were just running a third-rate tabloid, Davis’s News.
• But since I fell in love with Coline, my grandfather began to invest in Davis’s News. , and finally helped it become the largest newspaper group in this country! But I didn't realise that Colin had been lying to me and my grandfather from the very start.
• "What are you all doing at the door?!" Suddenly, a stern voice rang out behind me.
• I turned my head, and saw Colin's father, Joyce Davis, appearing at the Rosehouse's door.
• Joyce glared sternly at Colin, and then he acquiesced Colin taking Jessica to the RouseHouse.
• As they brushed past me, I suddenly took Colin’s hand.
• "Colin, I agree to break up with you, as long as you lend me two million dollars. My grandpa’s medical expenses are almost depleted, and he is still lying unconscious in the hospital.I need money. Please, help me!"
• I begged Colin. He paused for a moment at my words, but eventually he shook off my hand and passed me without hesitation..
• Jessica, on the other hand, turned around at me but she gave me a mocking look.
• Looking at their departing backs I suddenly panicked. My grandpa is the only family I have left in this world, I must save him. Thus, I hurriedly ran to catch up with Colin and Jessica, but this time Joyce stopped me with his walking stick.
• "Miss Smith, please behave yourself. Colin is is no longer your fiancé. You should not pester him anymore."
• Joyce always struck me as an old gentleman. He treated my grandfather and me very respect. This was the first time I had ever heard such cold words from him.
• Though I felt surprised, I still immediately pleaded him. "Mr. Davis, I need two million dollars for my grandpa’s medical bills. This is a small amount of money for you. Since my grandpa helped your company so many times, could you please, for the sake of him, help us? "
• "Miss Smith, the Smith Trust is now facing a default on twenty billion dollars of debt, and will surely go bankrupt.
• How can a business leader like your grandfather bear to watch his company go bankrupt? Wouldn't it be a relief for him to die in the hospital now?
• But you are right the two million dollars are not big money for people like me. If you really want it, I have a good suggestion for you. You are the international beauty queen. There must be a lot of rich men want to pay to get you. As long as you can sell yourself, it won’t take long for you to make that money.”
• Joyce's words pierced into my heart like a sword. He had treated me with immense love like a father. But today he said such disgusting words to me!
• I looked at him in shock, founding he was watching me coldly and mockingly. Then he suddenly stepped forward and pressed himself against my ear.
• "If you want, I can pay you ten thousand dollars a night. Wait for me at my private house in Avi Street 144."
• With that words, he reached out his hands and a black house key appeared in his hand.
