Chapter 12 I'm Already Married But when Clara saw the barely concealed glee in their eyes , she changed her mind . Since she had this chance , why not toy with them a little ? She gave a faint smile . " That would be wonderful . Thank you , Auntie . " Clara responded politely , a faint smile fixed on her face , though inside she was already impatient . These relatives on her father's side lived off Andrew Smith while resenting the family's prosperity . Now that her engagement had collapsed , they mouthed words of pity while secretly gloating . After all , where in the entire capital could one find another man like Julian - so powerful in family and promising in career? It had been the same in her past life . When she failed to conceive , it was this very crowd who spread her private pain under the guise of " concern . " They exaggerated and whispered until it became city - wide gossip . In the end , they even pushed it onto trending news , turning her into a laughingstock and stripping away her dignity . Such hypocrisy was sickening . At last , she managed to send off the " concerned " relatives , and the house fell blessedly quiet again . Her smile vanished . Her eyes turned cold and sharp . She took out her phone and dialed a number . " Mr. Lawson , about my grandfather's will - the part concerning company shares - I need to proceed with inheritance and notarization as soon as possible . " " Yes , Miss Smith . According to your grandfather's will , once you're married , you're entitled to forty percent management rights . May I confirm ... ? " Clara's grip tightened on the phone , but her voice remained calm . " Yes , Mr. Lawson . I'm already married . " After hanging up , Clara returned to her bedroom . In the corner stood a tall safe , half her height . The code was the anniversary of her relationship with Julian . Her finger paused over the keypad for a moment before pressing it . A soft beep , and the door opened . Inside lay rows of dazzling jewels , glittering under the light . Every piece priceless . Julian had once been overlooked by his family . It was Clara who spent all her savings to help him establish a small tech company . With her technical expertise and financial backing , he quickly multiplied his assets several times over , gradually earning the attention of the family elders . 11:57 My Husband Loft Me to Burn ? I Married DADE Chapter 12 I'm Already Married Julian had bought her plenty of jewelry . Back then , Clara had thought it was proof of his love . Clara's gaze wavered for just a second . She reached for a velvet box on the top shelf . Inside lay a massive pink diamond engagement ring . Once , she had treasured it - so much that she had refused to take it off , even in sleep . Now , it felt garish , heavy , cutting into her hand . Expressionless , she tossed the ring and its box onto a lower shelf . Then she set her marriage certificate on the top . Locking the top shelf , she pressed the intercom . " Mrs. Lane , come upstairs . " Soon , the long - serving housemaid , Mrs. Lane , knocked and entered . " Miss , you called ? " Clara pointed at the open safe . " Mrs. Lane , list everything inside and put it up for sale online . " " Sell ... sell them ?! " Mrs. Lane's face froze in shock . " Miss , these ... these are your most treasured possessions ! She gently picked up a velvet box and opened it to reveal a diamond necklace that shimmered like liquid light . " Miss , don't you remember ? This ' Galaxy's Love ' - Mr . Carter placed it on you himself at your coming of age ceremony . " " He said you were his one and only starlight , the galaxy that lit his entire universe . " Mrs. Lane's voice trembled with emotion . She couldn't understand . The man who had once cherished her young lady like treasure - why had he suddenly broken off the engagement ? And she refused to believe he could have so easily given his heart to someone else .
