Chapter 8

　　Antoinette Yun sneered, and suddenly walked quickly to Steve Gu. She put her arm around him. 　　"Marshall Su, listen carefully. I used to be blind. I fell in love with you. I mistook fish eyes for pearls. Now my eyes can see clearly! 　　“My husband is handsome and rich, and he treats me very well. Even if I want to elope, it’s him I would elope with, not you. Why would I choose a piece of trash like you?” 　　“If you dare to pester me in the future, I will ask my husband to beat you up!" 　　She looked up at Steve Gu."Husband, would you protect me from him?" 　　Steve Gu stared at her deeply, as if to stare from her eyes into her heart. 　　After a long time, his lips lightly opened, "Yes." 　　He looked at Marshall Su, as if looking at a dead person. 　　"Take him down. From now on, he cannot be allowed near my wife." 　　"Yes." 　　Marshall Su wanted to say something more, but was dragged away by two policemen who strip-searched him behind some bushes and found more traces of drugs in his clothing. The substance seemed to be all over his body. 　　Everyone was stunned as the police officers revealed their findings. 　　After a while, several police officers finalized collecting evidence and left, and then Grandpa announced that the party will continue. Singing and dancing continued in the gorgeous hall. 　　Antoinette and her husband were allowed to leave and soon, they were back in the Gu Mansion. 　　As soon as she entered the door, her body was weighed heavily on the door panel. 　　The man's eyebrows were deep, his thin lips were tight, and his black eyes looked like a bottomless pool, staring at her. 　　"Really, Antoinette? Drugs?” In a sarcastic voice, he said, “What next, human trafficking or gun smuggling?" 　　Antoinette was taken aback. 　　With a hurt look, she asked, "Husband, can’t you be more gentle with me?" 　　Her skin was soft under his palm, and Steve's eyes deepened. 　　She was relieved as he loosened his grip on her wrist. He kept his other arm around her shoulders. 　　She knew that he held her to keep her from running away, but still it felt warm and cozy and she couldn’t resist snuggling against him. 　　"Look, I’ve decided to be with you, I just want you to trust me more." 　　Steve Gu sneered coldly. 　　"What, so I can let my guard down and give you another chance to run away?" 　　He took his hands off her, but his voice was so cold as he spoke. 　　"Antoinette, don't waste your time trying to fool me. I’m not giving you a divorce. I won't agree to it. Even if you die, you will die my wife." 　　When he finished speaking, he turned and left. 　　She froze, remembering how he had died because of her, in the other timeline. Her eyes felt hot, as tears of remorse welled up. 　　How blind she had been, she didn't see how much he loved her. 　　... 　　Steve went to take a bath, while Antoinette returned to her room. 　　In her previous life, because she hated him too much, the two of them always slept in separate rooms except on their wedding night. 　　Not only did he respect her wish, and kept his distance from her, but he’d also set up her room to resemble the one she had at her parents’ house. He had hoped it would help her feel more at ease. 　　It's a pity. Not only did she fail to appreciate his effort, but instead she had obeyed Alexandra Yun's words. 　　Steve had wanted to win her heart, so he copied the design of her old room. 　　Now she understood how much he cared about her. 　　At this point, her phone dinged. 　　It was a news feed notification. 　　It was from a major broadsheet’s online news portal. She clicked on it and found that the first screen was Regine Lin's photo, and the caption on it was big and eye-catching. 　　Her Real Shape, Revealed! Drug abuse in Grand Banquet Exposed! 　　Regine Lin was a second-tier actress when she was younger. Because of her innocent face and curvaceous body, she was regarded as the goddess of dreams by countless otaku. 　　It's a pity that she got pregnant out of wedlock. Luckily, she had managed to marry into a wealthy family. 　　Now that she’d settled down, she was rarely mentioned in celebrity news. 　　Unfortunately for her, her faux pas ensured that she was now back in the limelight. 　　She scrolled down, and sure enough, all the photos from the banquet were below. 　　In the photo, though her body had been somewhat blurred, Regine Lin was obviously naked, and her face was shown. It had an intoxicated look on it. Her cheeks were reddish and grinning drunkenly. At first glance, she was in a state of being knocked out. 　　There was also a delightfully lighthearted article next to it. 　　Regine Lin was extremely restless when she was still in the entertainment industry. She used to knock on the producer's door in the middle of the night, and she was also known for bullying the newcomers, Generally known for her antics, she was also said to have relied on her 36D cup size to catapult her to fame. 　　Now more than ten years have passed, although she had married into a wealthy family, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies, it seems. Is her drug problem a sign of a rift between her and her husband? It brings to mind images from a popular alternative song, beauty queen of only 18, she had some trouble with herself…Shall we wait and see what her relationship is to the handsome young man previously linked to her stepdaughter Antoinette Yun? Scorned lover scenario, perhaps? We don’t really know, so we can only guess. 　　The comment section was very lively.
