I hadn’t expected it either.
When I returned, what greeted my eyes was a room in complete disarray.
Messy clothes, fallen bookshelves, broken vases.
My clothes were carelessly thrown on the floor, covered in dust.
After such a disturbance, it looked nothing like the room of someone about to get married.
Among them, several servants were bossing others around, “Search carefully, it could be anywhere.”
Sophia was angry, “What are you doing!”
The servant wasn’t afraid of Sophia at all, “Miss Sanders‘ necklace is missing. We’re following Mr. Foster’s orders to search for it.”
My expression darkened slightly, “I didn’t take any necklace.”
The servant was about to say something disdainfully.
Two figures stepped in from the courtyard gate.
Rachel’s eyes were red, “Sister, if you like it, I can have another one made just like it. That one was Luke’s token of love for me, I can’t give it to you.”
Luke was in a suit, his face slightly dark, “Chloe, hand it over.”

“I thought you had grown up, but I didn’t expect you to still bully Rachel after I left.”
I took a deep breath and looked at his distrustful eyes, “I never took any necklace.”
“You said to let go, so I did.”
“I haven’t interfered with your marriage either.”
“Why won’t you let me have peace?”
Suddenly, a servant laughed mockingly, “If you’ve really let go, why is there still a wedding dress in your room!”
A white wedding dress was pulled out and thrown in front of everyone.
Whispers immediately spread around, “How shameless, did she still want to replace the bride?”
Luke’s expression was calm, but I was particularly familiar with the disappointment in his eyes.
“Still so obsessed.”
He turned his head, “I’ll have a new necklace made for you.”
Rachel’s eyes gleamed with hidden joy as she nodded.
A sense of weariness suddenly rose in my heart.
He was experienced in business, smart and wise. How could he not see through this clumsy trick?
He just didn’t want to believe me anymore.
As they were leaving, Rachel whispered in my ear.
“Years ago, you smashed my bouquet.”
“Now, this is my payback to you.”
The crowd left in a noisy mess.
Leaving behind only chaos.
Sophia, seeing familiar things scattered in pieces, began tidying up with teary eyes.
I stepped over broken vase shards, over scattered books, picked up the wedding dress despised by everyone, and dusted it off.
Sophia came over, “This is…”
The room was in such a state, it would be hard to restore in a short time.
I lowered my eyes, “Tell Grandma I’ll leave from a hotel for the wedding.”
I took the dowry left by my parents and left this home of ten years.
Wishes made in youth finally became empty words.
