Chapter 1
When I wore the same outfit as my fiancé’schildhood sweetheart, he had Olivia Brown stripped on the spot.
He forced Olivia to sign a pledge–
promising never to use anything identical to Victoria Beaumont again.
Countless malicious gazes raked over her naked body.
Olivia’s heart clenched violently, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation almost drowned her.
She shielded her private areas desperately, ground her teeth as she signed, then looked up at Alexander Sinclair with red–rimmed eyes.
“May I put my clothes on now?”
“Sure.”
Alexander lazily blew a smoke ring, his mocking gaze crushing her soul. “But you have to pay for this.”
He signaled his bodyguard to bring in a dog costume.
“Since you love stealing Victoria’s spotlight so much?
I’ll give you the stage.”
“Put this on, and we’ll call this matter closed.”
Spotlight suddenly flooded Olivia, so harsh it made her gasp for air,
as if it wanted to nail her firmly to the pillar of shame.
Chapter 1
She’d lost count how many times Alexander had wronged her for Victoria’s sake.
At eighteen, Victoria failed her college entrance exams.

Alexander swapped Olivia’s scores to Victoria, freezing her own diploma at high school level;
At twenty, Victoria drunkenly hit someone with her car.
Alexander threw Olivia into prison without hesitation to take the blame for Victoria;
At twenty–three, Victoria plagiarized her designs.
Alexander paid media to smear Olivia as the plagiarist.
Now, just because Victoria cried all night over matching outfits,
Alexander stripped Olivia to her underclothes in front of everyone, letting these dandies leer at her without a care!
“What?
Unwilling?”
Alexander stubbed out his cigarette. His cold, indifferent gaze made her heart tremble.. “Then wear nothing at all.”
Raucous laughter erupted in the VIP room.
“Alexander, your doormat’s being disobedient today!”
“Don’t you get it?
I bet a hundred thousand dollars. Olivia will be barking like a dog within
a minute!”

“Why wait. Let’s help the lady out!”

Before Olivia could react, Alexander’s friends forced the dog costume
onto her.
They pinned her to the floor, and vulgar remarks filled the air.
As Olivia struggled instinctively, Alexander’s frosty voice cut through: “Don’t forget our agreement.“.
Her face turned deathly pale, freezing her in place.
When her mother remarried William Sinclair, Alexander had forced her to sign an unfair agreement-
binding Olivia’s absolute obedience, or he’d use “homewrecker” rumors to drive her mother to suicide.
Back then, Sophia Brown suffered severe depression with acute suicidal tendencies. How could Olivia risk Alexander provoking her?
She signed, becoming the socialite circle’s infamous “ultimate doormat.”
Whenever Alexander commanded, Olivia surrendered everything.
Olivia didn’t remember how she returned to the Sinclair mansion.
All she knew was that she was still wearing that cumbersome dog
costume.
Her body covered in horrific bruises, tears mingling with blood on her face, enduring scornful stares from every passerby.
Her heart ached so sharply it felt like she was suffocating,but the moment she pictured her mother at home, arranging flowers and waiting eagerly

for her return, a faint glimmer of light returned to Olivia’s dull, lifeless
eyes.
She’d just changed her clothes, composed herself, and forced a smile onto her face before stepping into the courtyard-
A deafening Thud shattered the air-
A figure plummeted from above, crashing right at her feet.
Screams of terror erupted around her. Olivia slowly looked down, and her pupils contracted sharply.
Amid the lush, spring–green foliage, she saw her mother’s face-
covered in blood, her eyes wide open in death!
The image stabbed straight into her eyes!
“Mom?”
she whispered. It took a moment for the truth to sink in. Her heart felt like it was being wrenched by a hook, a searing pain. Thump! She fell to her
knees.
Trembling uncontrollably, she grasped Sophia’s hand. The icy coldness that met her touch stopped her breath. A sudden, despairing seream tore
from her throat:
“Mom!!
Sophia’s phone screen was frozen on the news headline about William’s infidelity.

Chapter 1
At the bottom of the article were anonymously provided records of Olivia and Alexander’s hotel stays over the years, along with videos of Olivia being humiliated.
The venomous comments pierced Olivia’s heart like ice daggers.
[No wonder Mr Sinclair divorced back then! It was Olivia and Sophia seducing him!]
[Two shameless bitches! Seduced Mr Sinclair, and now they’re after his son too!]
[These two whores drove the legal wife to her death! They’re murderers!]
In her final moments, Sophia had left Olivia a voice recording.
The message was simple, yet it made Olivia sob uncontrollably.
“Olivia, is it only when I die… that you’ll have a future?”
Filled with rage, she called Alexander, demanding to know why!
Only he and his rich friends had those hotel records and videos!
Alexander merely scoffed: “Isn’t it the truth? If your mother hadn’t seduced my father, why would my mother choose suicide? This is an eye for an eye!”
Despair washed over Olivia.
But back then, it was William who had used threats and coercion to force Sophia to marry him.
Alexander blamed his father for nothing, instead pouring all his hatred onto her and her mother?

Chapter 1
How utterly ridiculous!
Olivia stubbornly performed CPR on her mother countless times, deluding herself as she poured out her secrets, begging her mother’s closed eyes to open.
Only when her voice was raw from screaming, her eyes swollen and bloodshot, did she finally accept the unbearable truth: her mother was gone forever.
Olivia numbly cleaned the blood from Sophia’s body, sitting in a daze beside her mother for a full day and night.
The deepest grief leaves the heart dead. After arranging her mother’s funeral, Olivia called the national figure skating team.
“Mr. Lee, I’m willing to compete in this international figure skating championship.”
Her mother had given her life to set her free.
Now, she would make sure her future would be filled with pride!
