The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Carrie, what kind of joke is this?!"

Justin, usually calm and steady, lost his cool. He gripped Carrie's shoulders tightly. "Marriage is not a joke. It's about your lifelong happiness! Do you know what kind of person Jason is? Didn't you see him acting intimately with Zoe last time? Aren't you afraid this is another scheme by Zoe?!"

Carrie let him shake her, her tears streaming down her face.

"Do you really not love Ryan anymore? Look at me and tell me... Do you really not love him anymore?" Justin furrowed his brows, questioning persistently.

"Justin, I've grown up. I'm not the child who locks herself in the room every day, hiding from people, only having dolls and drawing paper as accompaniment."

Carrie's voice was gentle, but her attitude was determined. "I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want..."

Justin's voice trembled. "Marrying Jason is what you want?"

"Since I can't be with Ryan, it doesn't matter who I marry."

"Who said that you couldn't be with him? Ryan loves you deeply. He could give up everything for you! As long as you stay by his side..."

"Justin, I'm tired."

Carrie lowered her eyes wearily and shook her head. "If Ryan lost his family because of me and even abandoned his position as the heir of Hoffman Group, I will feel guilty all my life. Even if I'm with him, I won't be happy.

"If I marry into the Hoffman family, I might not have a peaceful day. I'm scared... I'm more afraid of troubling Ryan and causing Yasmin to get hurt. Breaking up is the best for both of us." Justin loosened his hand gradually, the bitterness burning his throat, rendering him speechless.
