The Crush’s Revenge

Eight years after my boyfriend’s mom made us break up, that strong-willed, wealthy woman suddenly showed up again.

“After you left, Nigel’s hair turned white overnight. He’s been in and out of mental hospitals so many times…

“Please, come back. If you don’t, he might die!”

I touched the scar on my forehead and gave a bitter smile.

“But I’m no longer young or pretty.”

She got on her knees and begged, “If you come back, I’ll give you ten million to help pay for your mom’s treatment, no matter what happens.”

For my sick mom, I decided to return to Nigel Jefferson.

“But now that I’m no longer pretty… would he still love me?”

Blake Parker, Nigel Jefferson’s mom, said firmly, “I know him better than anyone. No matter how much you’ve changed, he still only loves you.”

With her help, I quickly got a job at Jefferson Corp.

Standing in front of the mirror, I felt nervous.

My bangs hid the scar, but they could not hide the wrinkles around my eyes. I was no longer young or beautiful.

Even though I had moved on, I still worried about how Nigel would react when he saw me again.

Just then, I heard quick footsteps outside.

The moment he saw me, his cold expression froze into a look of incredulous shock, then turned into wild joy.

Without caring about the surrounding people, he ran straight to me.

“Olivia… are you Olivia Smith?”

Seeing him cry and smile like he had just found something precious he lost made my eyes fill with tears, too.

“Yes, Nigel… It’s me. I’m back.”

Years ago, while running from the people his mom sent after me, I fell into the water and almost drowned.

She went along with the story and told Nigel I was dead.

Looking at me, Nigel was filled with joy, like he had finally gotten back the person he thought he had lost forever.

After making sure I was really standing in front of him, he hugged me so tightly I could barely breathe.

“Olivia, do you know what these eight years have been like for me?

“I’ve thought about you all this time. I still love you so much.”

Hearing that made my heart ache.

Blake had told me that during these eight years, Nigel kept hurting himself and had to get mental and emotional help many times.

That past year, when he finally seemed a bit more stable, he started searching for women who looked like me. He spent a lot of money to keep them close.

Blake was scared he would ruin the family business or even hurt himself again.

She had no other choice, so she came to apologize and beg me
