Chapter 6 A Pitiful Man

  • Neil let out a deep, cheerful laugh.
  • But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the air around him suddenly turn much colder.
  • When he looked up, he was met with Terry's piercing stare, sharp enough to cut.
  • Immediately, he wiped the grin off his face, adopting a look of righteous anger instead.
  • "That girl is utterly ungrateful! How dare she turn against the one who helped her? If it weren't for you, would she even have been able to go back to the Currans? It's outrageous! I need to teach her a lesson ... "
  • "Who are you planning to teach a lesson to?"
  • Terry's intense, frosty gaze shifted toward him.
  • His voice was clear and unwavering, reflecting his composed demeanor.
  • Despite being only 25, he was incredibly wise and serene.
  • Neil trembled with apprehension but tried to maintain his composure.
  • "Terry, are you serious? She's rejecting you, and you're still supporting her, that girl ... "
  • "Refer to her as sister-in-law!"
  • Terry's stern gaze made his point clear.
  • Neil was left speechless.
  • A man who was deeply in love, only to be heartlessly rejected.
  • How tragic!
  • Such a pitiful man!
  • Even though he silently sympathized, Neil didn't dare voice his thoughts.
  • He could only speak according to Terry's temperament.
  • "What's going on with my dear sister-in-law? Did something happen to her? She wouldn't have been pressured into this, would she? She loves you too much. It's impossible for her to voluntarily call off the wedding!"
  • Terry turned to his assistant standing behind him.
  • "Find out what's going on."
  • "Understood, Boss."
  • Ryan nodded with respect and promptly exited the hall.
  • He was also taken aback.
  • Calling off the marriage?
  • Ms. Elaine, who once eagerly pursued Boss, is now his official fiancée and has requested to cancel their engagement.
  • It doesn't make sense.
  • There has to be something off.
  • ...
  • The moment Elaine shut the door, her phone buzzed from her pocket.
  • She looked at the caller ID in disbelief.
  • Yosef Abbot.
  • In her previous life, he was her closest male friend.
  • During her first year in the entertainment industry, she bonded with him while filming together, feeling an immediate connection.
  • Their relationship was as close as that of siblings.
  • Over the years, she was blacklisted.
  • But Yosef's career took off, and he has now become one of the most popular young actors.
  • When he learned she was marrying Terry, Yosef vehemently opposed it and threatened to cut off their friendship.
  • Naturally, she chose Terry.
  • And what was the outcome?
  • She ended up losing both her friendship and her own happiness.
  • In her previous life, she sacrificed nearly everything to be a good wife to Terry.
  • Only in death did she understand—one of the biggest mistakes a woman can make is giving up everything for love.
  • Elaine gathered her thoughts and answered the call.
  • "Elaine, I know you're about to become Mrs. Wilson and may not have time for us, but I must inform you that Anna had a car accident. The doctors say amputation is necessary to save her life."
  • "Hold on!"
  • Elaine barely registered Yosef's cold demeanor.
  • Her mind was overwhelmed with memories.
  • Anna Laurier was her high school classmate—her best friend.
  • She is a remarkable dancer.
  • She had an extraordinary talent for dancing.
  • With time, she would have undoubtedly reached the international stage and dazzled everyone.
  • But on this day in her previous life, Anna suffered a car accident, required amputation, and had her dreams destroyed.
  • After waking up and struggling to accept her disability, compounded by her boyfriend leaving her, Anna attempted suicide multiple times.
  • In the end, she succeeded.
  • Even though Elaine had experienced hundreds of years in the quick transmigration world, she could still vividly recall the scene.
  • Anna lay in a pool of blood, lifeless, yet with a faint smile on her lips.
  • For her, death was a release.
  • How unbearable must life have been for death to seem like a relief?
  • A girl as beautiful as she shouldn't have had to endure such pain.
  • "What do you want?" Yosef asked icily.
