After the divorce, the movie star
husband was cremated
Ashley pushed me down the stairs at our
wedding to save her precious Emily.
I miscarried and was badly injured, but Ashley
just sneered,
“Don’t think I don’t know, this was all staged!”
I lay in the cold operating room, calling Ashley
a dozen times, only to be instantly rejected.
Then I saw him carefully cradling Emily, who
had a scratch on her forehead:
“It’s all my fault, I promise I’ll never let you get
hurt again!”
That night, the news of their reconciliation hit
the top of the trending topics.
Rabid fans called me names, and Ashley liked
every single comment:
“Just a stand–in, she actually thought she
was something?”
く
“Someone like Summer offering herself up so
cheaply can’t even compare to Emily.”
I calmly tossed the ring I’d treasured for so
long and called his arch–rival:
“I’ve made up my mind. I’ll partner with you on
the new project.”
I got home from surgery at 2 AM.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Emily
standing in the living room in my nightgown,
like the lady of the house.
“Hey, Summer, you’re back.”
“Ashley said it wasn’t safe for me to stay in a
hotel alone, so he asked me to stay here for a
few days. You don’t mind, do you?”
Before I could speak, Ashley walked over with
a sarcastic look on his face.
“Summer, how can you even show your face
here?”
“Don’t think I don’t know, you deliberately
sabotaged the chandelier in the ballroom,
<
trying to nun emily!
I didn’t say anything, just looked at him
quietly.
If Ashley had checked the security footage,
he would have known I wasn’t even in the
ballroom before the ceremony started.
But he still chose to believe Emily
unconditionally.
I didn’t bother arguing with him and turned to
leave.
But Ashley grabbed my neck and pinned me
against the wall.
“How can someone be so vicious?”
“You’re just jealous of Emily, trying to get rid
of her this way!”
My face turned pale from the pain. Ashley
tightened his grip, looking down at me with a
sneer.
“Worthy of an Oscar winner, you put on a
good show.”

“I’m telling you, Summer, you have to
apologize to Emily today!”
He suddenly let go, and I fell to the floor,
coughing violently.
After a while, I croaked, “I didn’t…”
Emily walked over, her eyes falling on the
bracelet on my wrist. She put her arm around
Ashley’s, feigning concern.
“Come on, Ashley, don’t be mad at her for my
sake.”
“Maybe Summer’s just upset that you and I
are back together.”
“If she gives me that bracelet, I won’t hold it
against her.”
With that, she lunged forward and grabbed it.
I was weak from the surgery, and Emily
snatched the bracelet, which fell to the floor
and shattered.
A shard of the bracelet cut Emily’s ankle, and
her eyes immediately welled up.

Ashley furiously slapped me across the face.
“Bitch! Apologize!”
He hit me hard, and I saw stars as I fell to the
ground.
My freshly stitched wound reopened, and
blood flowed down my leg and into the
carpet.
Ashley walked over with a look of disdain.
“Summer, stop pretending. I barely touched
you.”
Emily suddenly pointed at the blood beneath
me and screamed, “So much blood, it’s
disgusting!”
She even dry heaved for effect.
“Ashley, do you think she had a miscarriage?”
Ashley snorted in disgust. “Impossible!”
“If she were pregnant, she’d want the whole
world to know so I’d give her a name.”
He covered Emily’s eyes with his hand.
“Honey, don’t look if it’s grossing you out.”
“Your heart’s not good, you can’t handle the
stress. Let’s get out of here.”
With that, Ashley and Emily walked out the
door without looking back.
I slowly got up from the floor, gathering the
broken pieces of the jade bracelet in my
hand, oblivious to the cuts from the sharp
edges.
The bracelet was the only thing my grandma
left me. She said as long as I had the
bracelet, she would be with me.
But now the bracelet was broken, and I
couldn’t find her anymore.
The next morning, my agent, Jane, woke me
up with a phone call.
“Summer, check Twitter! Your role’s been
recast!”
I opened my phone and saw the news that the
female lead had been given to Emily.
She’d posted a selfie:
【Thanks for the reconciliation gift, someone.
I love it!】
My heart ached, and my hand trembled as I
held the phone.
Ashley knew how much I wanted that role. I’d
worked for 72 hours straight for the
auditions, even jumping into an ice bath
during my period.
But he still replaced me so easily.
I touched my flat stomach and suddenly felt
that maybe it was a good thing the baby was
gone.
That evening, the company asked me to
attend a dinner with investors.
I opened the door to the private room only to
find Ashley and Emily there.
Emily stood up with a glass of wine, her big
eyes wide with innocence.
“Summer, thanks for taking care of my
boyfriend for so long.
“I’ll toast you. Let’s call it even. If you want, 1
can talk to the director and get you a
supporting role!”
