My Bitter Love to My Devilish Archenemy

As a prominent figure in high society, Chase held his birthday celebration at the Ahnu Reservoir.

Many influential figures were present.

Upon my arrival, I saw a rising internet celebrity named Lily Charlotte snuggling up in Chase's arms, acting coquettishly.

Chase, however, paid no attention to her and remained seated nonchalantly. With one hand holding a glass of wine, his other hand rested on Lily's slender waist.

Lily glanced at me disdainfully.

"Who's this? I've never seen this one before."

"She's just a secretary. There's nothing to worry about."

Indeed, I was nothing more than an administrative secretary of the Sean Enterprise, completely out of place in this elite circle.

Had it not been for Chase, I would never have had the chance to meet these business tycoons.

Chuckling, Chase added. "And a plaything."

I didn't oppose it.

For three years, he never acknowledged me as his girlfriend or even a mistress.

He said, "This is what Evelyn is. No matter how I treat her, she will never leave me."

Whispers filled the air.

Lily covered her mouth and giggled, then turned to Chase and coquettishly asked.

"She loves you, doesn't she, Mr. Sean? How about offering her a chance to become your girlfriend?"

Raising an eyebrow, Chase glanced at me, picked up my bag nearby, and threw it into the reservoir. Then he said out of the blue.

Almost as soon as Chase's words fell...

I immediately jumped.

Thoughts of the bracelet filled my mind...

Laughter erupted behind me.

"What is she doing? Can she even swim? She would really die for a title. How hilarious."

"That's something you don't understand. This is a private reservoir, so it's not that deep. Besides, with so many people present, do you think we would do nothing and let her drown?"

"Now that you mention it, I admit this Evelyn is quite a scheming woman. But again, what she just did was so embarrassing."

Amidst their mocking voices, I naturally didn't notice what Chase was doing.

At that moment, he panicked as he reached out his hand. It seemed that he was trying to grab my wrist but missed.

I swam to the bottom of the reservoir, holding my breath.

Earlier today, when I left, I put that bracelet in my bag, so I had to retrieve it.

Many claimed that I was Chase's number one fawner. They kept talking about my ridiculous intention to advance through marriage, despite my current position as a mere secretary.

However, no one knew that I had longed to leave every day for the past three years.

When I got deeper into the reservoir, I spotted the bracelet that had fallen out of my bag. It was broken into two pieces.

Curling my lips slightly, I confirmed that it was indeed shattered.

I reached forward and scooped up the two pieces of the bracelet.

But as
