Chapter 4

After this, the livestream audience urged Lily to show them the master bedroom.

Oliver hesitated but still couldn't resist the girl's pleading.

He pushed open the door. An exquisite Chinese-style wedding dress came into view.

The livestream exploded instantly.

"Oh my god, that's so beautiful."

"The phoenix on that Chinese wedding dress looks alive."

Greed flashed in Lily's eyes.

She zoomed in the camera and ran her fingers over the dense needlework.

I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Don't touch it with your filthy hands!"

This Chinese wedding dress was passed down through our family.

Grandma gave it to Mom, and Mom gave it to me. She said I would be the most beautiful bride when I wore it.

I bit the inside of my mouth until it bled, but I could only tremble helplessly.

Right now, I was just a soul. I couldn't touch anything. I couldn't do anything.

Lily couldn't take her hands off the wedding dress. She even took it directly off the hanger.

The livestream started egging her on.

"Just have Lily try it on and perform a wedding ceremony with her boyfriend."

"I want to see it! I bet Lily would look absolutely stunning in it."

Lily laughed shyly and threw Oliver a flirtatious glance.

"But it's not mine. How could I just take someone else's things?"

Oliver stared at the exquisite wedding dress. Eve's smiling face suddenly flashed through his mind.

Eve had said just days ago that on their wedding day, she wanted him to personally help her into this Chinese wedding dress.

She wanted to become his beautiful bride, carrying her family's blessings.

Oliver's Adam's apple bobbed. He grabbed Lily's hand.

"You can't wear it. She'll be angry."

Lily froze. She never expected Oliver would refuse her.

The livestream erupted in complaints.

"What's wrong with just letting Lily try it on?"

"Right? We're just looking. Nobody else will know."

Lily's eyes reddened with grievance.

Her tears splashed onto Oliver's hand as she bit her lower lip pitifully.

"Oliver, I've never seen such a beautiful Chinese wedding dress..."

"Don't you like me? Don't you want to marry me?"

She pushed Oliver down onto the bed and stripped off her clothes.

Acid churned in my stomach. I leaned over the bed and retched.

I had chosen this bed. I had washed the sheets myself.

I thought Oliver and I would sleep together in each other's arms on this bed.

But now, he kissed Lily passionately and pressed her beneath him.

The livestream kept sending gifts, urging them on.

"Put on the wedding dress! Put on the wedding dress!"

"We want to see adult content!"

Oliver personally helped Lily into the Chinese wedding dress. His hands roamed across the girl's back, then pressed down on her nape and kissed her deeply.

Tears streamed down my face. I smiled mockingly.

He betrayed every promise he made to me. He destroyed everything I cherished.

Oliver, I truly regret ever loving you.

Oliver held Lily's hand as they bowed to heaven and earth, then drank from the ceremonial cups.

They went through the entire wedding ceremony. Amid the crowd's cheers, Oliver swept Lily into his arms and placed her on the master bedroom bed.

Lily glanced at the photo of Oliver and me on the nightstand and smiled provocatively.

As if to say she had won. Any man would fall at her feet.

My nails dug deep into my palms. I turned away, trying hard to ignore the sounds beside my ear.

Just as they were about to take the next step, the bedroom door was suddenly kicked open.

Mrs. Bennett appeared in view. When she saw the naked man and woman on the bed, her face went deathly pale.

She rushed past me and slapped Oliver's head to the side with a vicious strike.

"You bastard! Do you know Eve is in trouble?"
