Nash paused for several seconds before speaking softly I’m sorry, Caroline. I failed you.”

“You’re being too dramatic, Mr. Newton,” Caroline replied calmly. “You have your bright, open path ahead, and I have my own path too. We each go our own way, unconnected and separate, because we were never meant to walk the same path.”

Her tone remained steady, devoid of any emotion.

It’s all in the past. Those who hurt her and abandoned her–she had let it all go.

Perhaps… she was just destined for a bitter life, fated to be alone.

Since childhood, she had been an orphan, growing up an orphanage. When she finally met Nash, it was as if a beam of light had illuminated her dark world. But that light eventually faded, plunging her back into the shadows.

She and Nash had been college classmates. He was the class president, and she was the acadèmic committee member. Everyone could see that Nash liked her.

He pursued her openly and passionately, with a simple and genuine love that was impossible to ignore.

But Caroline never accepted him. She knew all too well how vast the gap between them was.

She was merely the adopted daughter of the Brooks family, while Nash was the privileged young master of the Newton family. She wasn’t worthy of him.

Yet, throughout their four years of college, Nash never gave up on her, remaining persistent in his pursuit.

Just when Caroline was finally moved and ready to take a leap of faith, willing to face whatever challenges the future held…

News of Nash’s engagement exploded across all major headlines.

“A perfect match,” “An ideal couple,” “A powerful union the words burned into her eyes.

“Caroline…” Nash’s voice faltered, as though he wanted to explain but couldn’t find the words. In the end, he simply asked, “How have you been?”

Caroline was momentarily surprised. Does he not know the Brooks family married me off to David to ward off bad luck?

Whatever. She didn’t feel like bringing it up.

Caroline nodded. “I’ve been great. Really great.”

“Don’t pretend,” Nash said, glancing at the job applications on the table. “How’s the job hunt going?”

Caroline stayed defiant. “Fantastic. Couldn’t be better.”

Nash didn’t press further. Instead, he offered sincerely. If you’re willing, you can work at my company. Don’t let my presence deter you. I know you’d be an excellent employee and could become a renowned formulator in the industry.”

“Thank you for the offer, Mr. Newton, but I’ll pass,” Caroline said, standing up. Without sparing him another glance, she turned and walked away.

What, does she need Nash’s pity now?

She’d rather wait tables, wash dishes, or hand out flyers than accept his charity,

Why are men so heartless?

Nash was one, and David was even worse.

One had professed his love for her, only to get engaged to someone else without a second thought.

The other had married her, only to torment her daily, making her life miserable.

What did I do in my past life, blow up the Milky Way?

“Caroline!” Nash called after her, trying to stop her. “I really want to help you. That’s all.”

“And I really don’t need your help. Thanks.”

“But you…”

Caroline climbed onto a bus that had just pulled up, leaving Nash behind.

Watching the bustling street, Nash muttered to himself “But Caroline… You were sold by the Brooks family in the underground market. They put a price on your first time. Your life has been so hard.”

When the Brooks family’s transaction information leaked, Nash had accidentally discovered it.

Once he confirmed the woman being sold was Caroline, he paid the price… And bought her.
