Never Surrender - Chapter 9

---- Chapter 9 I laughed. Matthew was an extremely selfish and chauvinistic person at heart. What he needed was a wife who was more like a housekeeper, someone who could selflessly dedicate herself to him and work hard without complaint; not a princess who needed him to comfort her and take care of her. Matthew's face turned ashen. He was clearly embarrassed by being exposed by Rosalie in public. "Enough! Stop embarrassing yourself!" He growled and forcibly dragged Rosalie away. Rosalie held on tightly as tears and snot streamed down her face. "I'm not leaving! Jamie, I beg you to spare us!

You already have such a good man. Why are you still clinging to Matthew? Could you return him to me?" She twisted the truth, portraying herself as a pitiful wife whose husband was stolen by a mistress. The way the crowd, who were unaware of the truth, looked at me changed. Iwas so angry that I felt cold all over. Blaze grabbed my hand, pulled me behind him, and ---- stepped forward, his tall frame exuding an imposing air. He said casually, "Mr. Zackman, Mrs. Zackman, Jamie and J are in a normal romantic relationship. Please watch your words.

If you continue to harass or defame my fiancée in any way, I will have my lawyer contact you. It won't be cheap if things go to court." Matthew's and Rosalie's faces turned deathly pale. They knew very well that with Blaze's status and wealth, getting them into serious trouble would be a piece of cake. Matthew glared at Blaze's protective stance, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. In the end, he grabbed the sobbing Rosalie and left dejectedly. Blaze turned around to see me with my brows furrowed. " Are you alright?" I shook my head, but I felt like I was suffocating on the inside.

I looked into his eyes. "Blaze, you called me your... fiancée?" Blaze's eyes flickered before he regained his composure. He explained, "It was a desperate measure to make them. give up completely." Iacknowledged, feeling a mix of disappointment and relief. "However..." He changed the subject as he gazed intently ---- at me. "If you're willing, it can become a reality anytime." My heart pounded uncontrollably again. I lowered my head, too scared to meet his eyes. " ... Ineed time." "Okay, I'll take you home." Neither of us spoke on the way back. The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward.

A few days later, the internet was suddenly flooded with negative posts about me. The headlines were extremely sensational. (Breaking News! A Rising Star Designer Abandons Penniless Boyfriend and Interferes in Best Friend's Marriage to Marry into a Wealthy Family!] The articles described me as a gold-digging, materialistic woman. They stated I initially looked down on my blind date, Matthew, but later became jealous and seduced Matthew upon discovering he had married my best friend, Rosalie. I even found a wealthy suitor to provoke him. It was obvious who was behind this.
