On the other side of the door, May was already crying in anger.

She had never let herself loose and cried so loudly before. After a while, it gradually turned intosobs, and she could slowly calm down.

The funniest part was what the women who insulted her yesterday said was all true.

She was not worthy of Henry.

With Henry, she would only take advantage of him and covet his money.

He deserved a better marriage partner, not her.

"In order to force a man to marry me, I've played all the dirty tricks, including deliberately gettingpregnant and threatening him with the baby. I've become so despicable.”

"I don't want to become such an evil woman."

May tried to pull herself together. She stood up and splashed cold water on her face. Looking at herpale and haggard face in the mirror, she suddenly sobered up.

She was tired. She really didn't want to pester him anymore.

She was desperate to decisively end their relationship.

Since she had a hangover last night and was reeking alcohol, she drenched herself in the shower forhalf an hour. She made sure that she had completely calmed down before she walked out.

She changed into a new set of clothes, tidied up her appearance, blew her hair dry, and put onheavy makeup to hide her sickly pale face.

She had a splitting headache. She must have caught a cold last night.

But it was no big deal to her. She had been used to taking care of herself while living abroad for somany years. She took out the medicine and took it all without a second thought.

She went into the bedroom again and looked into the full-body mirror to check her appearance. Itwas okay. She was fine now. She was very strong. Even if she was sick now, she could handleeverything well.

"May, come on!"

"May, don't be afraid. Nothing can knock you down. You can make it!"

Just like when she had faced problems alone while she was abroad, she cheered herself up andencouraged herself.

She went downstairs to call a taxi and went straight to Henry's company.

She wanted to clarify everything with him in person.

"What are you doing here?"

Shirley saw her at the gate of the company and immediately went up to ask warily.

May no longer wanted to argue with this woman, so she said directly, "I'm looking for Henry. I wantto see him. I need to talk to him."

"Henry is recording a program now. He's busy.” Shirley just wanted to get rid of her as soon aspossible.

May knew that this female agent had been trying every means to disrupt her relationship withHenry. She would have been a little unhappy in the past, but it didn't matter now.

"If Henry is busy now, I don't mind waiting for him in your lounge until he finishes his work."

May's voice was rather cold today.

Shirley seemed to feel it too. Her mood was a little different today. She suddenly left the venue lastnight and ran to a nightclub to get drunk. Finally, she quarreled with Henry and clipped his finger.Did she come here on purpose to make up with Henry?

Thinking of this, Shirley was even more reluctant to let her see him.

She said in a deliberately reproachful tone, "We stayed at your door for so long last night to wait foryou to come back. We were worried about you and looked for you for so long. But you drove usaway as soon as you saw us, and you hurt Henry's fingers. When he was filming today, it hurt whenhe touched the water."

May suddenly sneered.

"Was Henry's finger hurt? Was it serious? Was it broken? Didn't you take him to the hospital?"Shirley was surprised and her tone became even angrier. "You're such a vicious woman. You evencursed him for breaking his finger. I'm going to tell Henry your true colors.”

May went all out today.

"What are my true colors? Hahaha..."

"I've been with Henry for seven years. Do you think he doesn't know what I really am?"

"His finger was hurt. What about me? My heart is bleeding from being stabbed by you people. I'mnot afraid of anything now. No words from you people can hurt me!"

"Shirley, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm telling you right now that you don't haveto worry about anything. I won't make up with Henry. I just want to talk about breaking up withhim!"

Breakup?

Shirley looked at her determined and cold eyes in surprise. First, she doubted, then she secretlyrejoiced.

This ugly woman finally knew herself.

Finally, she stopped pestering Henry.

Looking at the obvious joy on Shirley's face, May started feeling bitter inside despite the cold facadeshe tried to present.

She finally realized that all these years, no one had rooted for their relationship, and everyone washoping that she would wake up soon.

She should have come to her senses long ago.

"Then come in and wait in the lounge. I'll call Henry to see you after he finishes the program.”Shirley's attitude immediately changed and she even helped her open the glass door.

May deliberately put on heavy makeup and applied more blush on her cheeks to try to look moreenergetic, but when she saw her reflection on the glass door, she realized that makeup couldn't hidethe despair on her face.

She dragged her heavy steps to sit down and waited quietly inside.

Henry was delightfully surprised when he heard that May had come to the company to look for him.He thought that she might get emotional from drinking too much last night and was provoked byher friend and that was probably why she quarreled with him in a fit of anger.

Usually, she wasn't that unreasonable and must have been instigated by Cindy.

Normally, she was gentle and graceful, and very considerate of him.

She was the only one sitting in the lounge waiting. Looking at her profile, he somehow felt that herfigure today looked even more emaciated and haggard.

Henry walked over quickly and said in a loving voice, “I miss you very much.”

He subconsciously wanted to hug her as usual.

May suddenly stood up and quickly took a few steps back to keep a distance from him.

Henry was bemused by her reaction.

"What's wrong?" He looked at her in bewilderment.

Henry found that she had put on heavy makeup today, which she rarely did. Her makeup wasexquisite, and even the clothes she was wearing today seemed to be specially matched. May rarelypaid this much attention to her appearance. She looked so unusually formal.

He thought that maybe she was sorry for what had happened last night, so she came herespecifically to make up with him.

With the usual smile on his face, Henry raised his right hand that had been bandaged and said toher in a light-hearted tone. "I'm fine now..."

He hadn't finished his words yet.

"Let's break up.” May suddenly said in a calm voice.

"Ah?"

Henry was in a daze for a moment.

May's face looked serious. She repeated slowly word by word, "I said, let's break up.”

Henry frowned when he heard this.

"What are you still angry about?"

"What did your friend, Cindy, say to you again?"

"We've been together all these years. You've never forced me like this..."

Henry felt that May had changed recently. She used to be so gentle and considerate but now shegot unreasonably angry with him every few days.

"Don't blame my friend for what happened between us." May raised her voice with obvious anger.She would never allow anyone to slander her friend.

Even if she knew she was a nobody and couldn't be compared with her friends, she would defendthem no matter what.

Henry didn't expect her to truly get angry and was taken aback.

He looked at her with the eyes of strangers, as if the woman in front of him was no longer the loverhe once knew.

Now he realized that May had changed.

Henry's cold gaze sent a chill down her spine. She thought that no matter how miserable she wasfeeling inside at this moment, she had to stay poised.

May almost choked and tried to calm herself down. Word by word, she continued, "Henry, I'vethought about it seriously. We really don't fit together.”

"Also, I will pay back the down payment that my family owes you in the future.”

"No..." Henry immediately interrupted.

She looked at his handsome face, tears filling her eyes and she pleaded, "Can we break uppeacefully? I'm really tired. I just want to end this as soon as possible.”

With that said, May turned around and rushed out.

Henry was dumbfounded.

He felt struck by her words especially when she said that she was very tired as if their love was greatharm to her.

The agent, who had been eavesdropping outside the lounge, saw her coming out and saidimmediately, "Miss Fain, since you have broken up with Henry, please return the key to theapartment to me, because I actually rented it, and then I rented it to you at a low price because ofHenry."

"Now that you have nothing to do with Henry, I hope you can cut off your tie with him completely.”Shirley's voice sounded very formal. She reached out and asked her for the key to the apartment.May's whole body was trembling. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth toprevent tears from falling. She quickly found the key in her bag and threw it back into her hand.She didn't want to stay in this place for another second.
