《At Our Engagement Party, I Exposed My Cheating Fiancé》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

“Vivienne, can I borrow your ruby necklace? You have so much jewelry today. You won’t miss this one.”The dressing-room door had not been fully closed, and Chloe Bennett’s voice carried clearly through the gap.She did not wait for my answer.She simply opened my jewelry case and reached inside.I turned to look at her.She was wearing an extravagant white engagement gown with a sweeping train. The crystals along the skirt sparkled even more brightly than the ones on my dress.Anyone who did not know better would have assumed she was the one getting engaged today.“Put it down.”I watched her through the mirror, my voice perfectly flat.Chloe’s hand froze in midair.She pursed her lips, and her eyes immediately turned red.“Vivienne, you’re not really going to be this petty, are you?” She bit her lower lip, looking wounded. “I just thought the necklace would go perfectly with my dress. I only wanted to try it on for you and see how it looked.”Then she added, almost casuall

“Actually, Adrian picked this dress himself,” I said smoothly. “He told me he liked me in something simple.”I tossed the ball right back into his court.His mother paused, then shot Adrian a look.She did not say another word.Chloe immediately slipped her arm through Mrs. Cole’s and pouted.“Mrs. Cole, don’t blame Vivienne. I’m the one who stole her spotlight. I’ll go change.”She turned as though she meant to leave, her eyes already turning red.“Change what?”Adrian grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.Then he glared at me.“Vivienne, do you have to make everyone uncomfortable?”I watched his hand wrapped around Chloe’s wrist and remembered the dash-cam recording.He had held her with that same force.That same possessive grip.“That woman is so stiff,” he had said. “She’s nothing like you.”A wave of disgust rose in my throat.But I only smiled.Go ahead.Make a bigger scene.The harder they fell later, the better.Adrian’s accusation cut through the noise of

“Careful!”Adrian cried out and instinctively tossed aside the microphone, catching Chloe securely in his arms.She collapsed against his chest as the ring box slid off the tray and hit the floor with a sharp clatter.“Adrian, I’m sorry. I was just nervous,” Chloe said softly, leaning into him.“It’s okay. You’re not hurt, are you?”He helped her upright with a tenderness he had never shown me.Then he even reached up to smooth the hair that had fallen out of place.The ballroom went quiet.Everyone was watching the absurd scene onstage.Once Chloe had steadied herself, she bent down to retrieve the ring box.As she did, the neckline of her loose gown slipped lower.The concealer at her collarbone no longer hid the dark purple mark beneath it.Under the bright stage lights, it was impossible to miss.A kiss mark.Someone in the crowd sucked in a breath.Adrian saw it too.His face went white.He reached out instinctively, trying to pull her neckline back into place.B

The car rolled through the rain, leaving Adrian behind in the storm.I lowered the window just enough to see him in the rearview mirror.He stood soaked to the bone in the middle of the downpour, one hand over his face as he finally broke down.Then I rolled the window back up, shutting out the wind, the rain, and the sound of him crying my name.My phone buzzed.It was a message from my mother.'We saw. Your father says he’ll handle the rest.'I replied with two words.'Thank you.'Then I opened a family group chat without Adrian in it.My mother had created it three days ago. It included my parents, Adrian’s parents, and the relatives from both sides who actually mattered.I typed:'To all: I’m sorry today’s engagement party ended this way.I have organized the full evidence and will send it here shortly. My parents will also be ending all business partnerships with the Cole family. Please take note.'My mother replied at once.'I support Vivienne’s decision.'My fath

“Adrian, you disgust me.”I did not bother hiding my contempt.“Do you really think I ended our engagement because of Chloe?”He froze.“I ended it because you’re selfish, dishonest, and incapable of taking responsibility for anything.”I spoke slowly, one word at a time.“The second something goes wrong, you blame a woman. Do you think throwing Chloe under the bus will make me look back at you?”“Keep dreaming.”I pressed stop on the recorder sitting on my desk and slid it toward him.“I recorded what you just said about Chloe using the pregnancy to threaten you.”Adrian’s face went white.“You… what are you going to do?”“Nothing.” I smiled faintly. “I just think Chloe would be very touched to hear it.”“After all, she’s your loyal best friend. The one who was willing to throw everything away for you.”“Vivienne, you can’t do this!” His voice cracked. “You’ll ruin me!”“Me?”I stood and walked toward him.“Adrian, the person who ruined you was you.”I pressed the in
