Hidden Truths

In the fourth year of me being imprisoned by Xavier Quinn, he had a fiancée.

It was said that the Santana Group's heiress, Wendy Santana, was gentle and intelligent, a perfect match for Xavier Quinn.

They had been in contact for over half a year, and marriage discussions were in progress.

In these years, the women around Xavier came and went, most of them passing through without him showing much interest.

A friend called me and said, "It seems he's serious this time, the other woman is not only beautiful but also beneficial to his career."

I had heard something about it, but I didn't expect to meet Wendy Santana for the first time at Xavier's company.

That morning, I went to the hospital for a follow-up appointment, and my attending doctor was my senior from school.

He told me that my condition was deteriorating rapidly, and I might forget everything in just three months. "Are you really not going to tell Xavier Quinn? If you tell him now, he might still turn back."

I thought about it and decided against it.

I looked at her without saying a word, which was taken as confirmation. "You are very different from what I imagined."

Her voice was soft, and her tone was gentle.

"They all say that Xavier has someone he adored by his side, but seeing you, I can tell his taste wasn't that good when he was young."

Some colleagues chuckled discreetly and took the opportunity to flatter her.

"How could she compare to Miss Santana?"

"You have no idea; Mia Frank's position in the company is so low that even a stray dog could kick her."

I remained completely calm inside; after all, they were speaking the truth.

I had no reason to be angry.

No one could have imagined that I, the woman rumored to be the love of Xavier Quinn's life, had a lower status than a random stray dog on the street.

Seeing me not responding, Wendy felt a sense of frustration.

She looked at me and continued, raising her voice, "I heard you left when Xavier was
