News that the capital’s most powerful family was taking a bride sent shock waves around the world. But during the wedding rehearsal, I caught my fiancé kissing his childhood sweetheart, Lu Wan, at the hotel. I watched them whispering and nuzzling coldly, then threw my engagement ring to the floor. My voice was icy: “Either go through with the ceremony as agreed, or... the Bai family will go bankrupt!” He clenched his fists and reluctantly pushed Lu Wan away, grinding out a “Fine.” But then he led his childhood sweetheart into a room. “I’m just having a bachelor party with her. I won’t miss the wedding rehearsal.” I watched him shut the door without a flicker of emotion, completely done with this relationship. “Change the groom. And another thing... The Bai family was the first to betray me. I want them wiped out completely!”
