Chapter 12 Once the burn on my wrist had completely faded , Jayce took me to pick out an evening gown . Outside the boutique , Liam appeared before me once more for the first time in a long time , holding a bouquet of lisianthuses . " I'm not marrying Vivi anymore , Michelle . I've finally worked out my feelings recently . You're the only person I like now ! " he said . I turned my head away , feeling slightly disgusted . The moment I saw him , the scene of him kneeling and proposing to Vivi on my birthday replayed more and more vividly in my mind . Despite that , Liam was now telling me he actually liked me with those lips that had already kissed another woman . How ridiculous . I couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance . With his current unkempt , unshaven appearance , Liam was more insignificant than a hair on Jayce's head . I held onto Jayce's arm and circled around Liam , but he ran over and grabbed my wrist . He held Vivi's numerous medical records up in front of me and explained , "Vivi doesn't have bone cancer . She lied to us . If I'd known she wasn't sick , I would never have chosen to get engaged to her ! " I'm begging you to look , Michelle ! Please just look at these ! I'm really not lying to you ! " Jayce was afraid that I would be moved by the sight of Liam crying and begging with bloodshot eyes . As such , he quickly pulled my hand out of Liam's grasp . " I recommend you have some self - respect , Liam Sherman ! You'd best stop having inappropriate thoughts about my wife ! " he snapped protectively . As soon as those words left his mouth , I also lifted my hand and threw away the insignificant pieces of scrap paper he'd brandished in front of me . What did the authenticity of Vivi's illness have to do with me ? All I knew were the things he'd once done , things that wouldn't be written off just because of these fake medical records . I was also unable to just pretend that nothing had happened and continue to remain by his side . Liam's demands were completely unrealistic . The medical records were scattered all over the ground . When I noticed Jayce's jealous expression , I moved closer to him , feeling fond . I stepped over the scattered papers without sparing Liam another glance . Back when Liam had thrown my resignation letter and handover documents at me , had he ever imagined that he'd one day be kneeling on the ground and begging me tearfully for forgiveness ? It was impossible to turn back time , and it was impossible for me to forgive him . However , hating someone was a waste of energy , so the best solution was to treat Liam as a stranger Yet , Liam still refused to give up . He crawled to his feet and rushed at Jayce with his fists raised . " It's all because of you ! You were the one who got between us ! You're the one that stole Michelle away ! " Jayce let go of my hand and let Liam knock him to the ground in order to protect me . I hurriedly yelled for the security guards outside the boutique . This was a high - end boutique that offered personal customisation services . The customers who ordered dresses from here were either rich or from noble families . As such , they had a duty and obligation to protect their customers . Liam was quickly subdued by the security guards and pressed to the ground . Chapter 12 +25 BONUS I didn't even glance at his way . Instead , I rushed to help Jayce up , my eyes filled with distress . Seeing this through the mass of bodies , Liam finally understood that he no longer had a place in my heart . He'd lost the woman who'd once only had eyes for him , and I had also found a lover who only had eyes for me to call my own .
