Third person's POV
Lillian completely froze. Then a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. "You didn't come to the wedding. You didn't rescue me. You made me the person I am today. Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? I had to put up with my husband staying out all night. He didn't love me at all. He just thought that I was pretty, and going out with me by his side made him look good. I was too young to make the right choice. I was wrong. You are the man that I want to spend my life with."
"Enough!" Cedrick's face was utterly sullen as he interrupted her with a cold voice. Then he said, "The past is the past. I have nothing to do with you from now on. I heard that you received five hundred million dollars from your divorce. It is enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life!"
Lillian's face was a little pale. She realized that Cedrick was serious. He did not love her anymore.
"Are you sure you want to be with Jessica?" Lillian held back her tears, feeling so jealous.
Normally, others were jealous of Lillian. Her perfect appearance made her stand out.
And now, finally, she knew what it was to be jealous. It hurt, and she hated the feeling.
Cedrick knew Lillian well. She was emulous, and she hated it when someone took her place.
" Leave her alone! I am warning you!" Cedrick said in a stern and cold voice.
Lillian, however, curled her lips into a sneer. She said, "You care about her, which means that you love her a lot. Just like the way you loved me before, right?"
Cedrick's face stiffened.

"She reminds you of me, doesn't she?" Lillian had done some digging about Jessica before coming here. She found a few pictures of Jessica that looked nice. As she looked at them, she noticed that she and Jessica shared a similar look of pride on their faces.
Jessica was in showbiz, yet she could still be proud. So, she must have someone powerful to back her up.
Was Cedrick the man behind Jessica?
Cedrick sneered, "I don't even remember how you looked back then, OK? Lillian, don't come to me again. Even if you do, I won't see you."
"Alright. I'll leave now!" Lillian's heart ached.
She grabbed her purse and left in a rage.
That night, Jessica, dressed in a white princess dress, was celebrating her birthday with friends at Sayreville's largest private club.
She did not invite many people, only her close friends. Leo, her boss, was also there to celebrate her birthday.
Around seven o'clock, Catherine arrived. As she entered, she saw it was already buzzing inside.
Leo was sitting at the bar counter and wanted no company. He did not expect Catherine to be here. He squeezed his glass a little harder when he saw Catherine pass through the door.
"Catherine, I thought you were not coming. I'm so happy that you are here!" Jessica ran over and gave her a hug. Jessica looked very happy.
Catherine patted Jessica's shoulder. "Jessica, happy birthday. This is for you. I hope you'll like it!"
Catherine presented her gift.

"Thank you, Catherine, but you shouldn't have. I'm thrilled that you came. I was worried that you wouldn't show up. After all, you are Blake's fiancee now. I was worried that I didn't deserve a friend like you." Jessica had a naughty smile on her face.
Catherine smiled and said, "Don't say that. We are friends. I'm glad that you invited me!"
"Hey, by the way, I invited my boss too. Maybe you should have a chat with him. He said he was leaving since he was so bored." Jessica grabbed Catherine's hand and pulled her toward Leo.
Catherine just arrived and didn't have a chance to take a closer look at the people there. She also didn't plan to stay long.
Although Jessica was fairly young, Catherine had a good impression of her. Catherine knew that she was a simple and hard-working girl.
Jessica pressed Catherine down into a seat beside Leo. The smile froze on Catherine's face.
Leo did not expect Jessica to drag Catherine over. When he noticed, Catherine had already sat beside him. He sobered up instantly and sat upright.
Catherine felt very awkward.
"I didn't expect to see you here!" What a surprise. Leo turned his head and glanced at Catherine's face.
Catherine forced a smile and said, "Well... Jessica called me a few times. I thought I should at least show up. After all, she really wanted me to come."
"Catherine, go ahead and chat with my boss. There will be more fun later! You can't leave till you have a bite at my cake!" Jessica said earnestly and went off to chat with other friends.
Leo and Catherine sat on the sofa. Both of them felt a little awkward.
"Have some wine!" Leo passed a glass of wine to Catherine.

"How are the kids? I haven't seen them for a while. I missed them." Leo's expression grew grave, and his voice sank a little.
After he told Catherine about his feelings, he could no longer pretend to be so relaxed in front of her.
Catherine replied, "They are doing well, and they missed you too. You should come back for a meal sometimes."
"I've been a little busy recently. We'll see." Leo wanted to visit the kids, but he dared not to.
Catherine could tell the guilt in his tone. She put the wine glass to her lips and took a sip.
"Look how happy Jessica is. Do you think he will come?" Leo leaned back in the chair and changed the topic.
"Who?" Catherine was stunned. Then she thought of the man Jessica had a crush on and smiled, "I don't know. I didn't ask if they were making any progress."
"From what I know, they've been seeing each other," Leo said.
"Really? That's great. Two people having feelings for each other are bound to be together!" Catherine was glad.

However, Leo said, "Not necessarily. It depends on luck."
Catherine turned to Leo. Her gaze rested gently on his face. For an instant, the wine tasted a little bitter in her mouth.
