It's giving runaway wives and we're here for it!

Chapter 2 Inside the banquet hall, clusters of people were chatting. "Did you hear? Sayaka Thompson specially designed a necklace for the wedding, using that $300 million pink diamond from the foreign auction!" "Wow, such a grand gesture! I'd love to see what a $300 million necklace looks like." "I heard Mr. Mitchell's fiancée will wear that necklace tonight. You picked the right time to come." They even took the necklace I specially designed for Reika? I stood to the side fuming, wanting to confront him right then, but I had to be patient - wait for the right moment...

Halfway through the banquet, Ethan and his so-called "fiancée" finally appeared. "Thank you all for coming to mine and Asuka's engagement party." The crowd below cheered congratulations. I stared at Ethan on stage as Asuka clung intimately to his arm. Just as Ethan was about to continue, I rushed on stage and snatched the microphone. The crowd below erupted in chaos. "What kind of riff-raff are they letting in here?" "Another gold-digger trying to cause trouble." I confronted Ethan. "Where is Reika?" "What Reika? Security! Get up here and drag her off!" "I'm asking you again!

Where is Reika?" Asuka was terrified by me, screaming as she cowered in Ethan's arms. But I didn't see any panic on his face. "Where did this crazy woman come from? Get her out of here!" I took a step toward Asuka, and both of them backed away together. "Didn't you say you were my best friend? Why are you hiding from me?" "Bullshit!" Asuka immediately retorted. "How could you possibly be my best friend? I don't even know you!" Someone in the crowd caught on. "Mr. Mitchell's fiancée's best friend?

Wouldn't that be the famous Designer Sayaka Thompson?" At this, everyone burst into mocking laughter. "Her? Don't be ridiculous! Look at her - where's even a hint of a chief designer? She's just a crude country woman!" "Delusional in broad daylight." Ethan became even more panicked. He'd never met me before, so naturally had no idea what Sayaka Thompson looked like. "Where's security? Security, get over here and remove this person! How dare you abandon your posts!" Ethan's voice carried a slight tremor - he knew that if I really was Sayaka Thompson, the Mitchell family would be finished.

"Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of. You're not my best friend." Asuka hid in Ethan's arms, acting all high and mighty. "Yesterday that woman claimed to be Mr. Mitchell's fiancée. You two are the real best friends, right?" Someone in the crowd snickered lewdly. "Everyone knows what happened to yesterday's woman. Besides, I just saw her being dragged into the next room by some man..." Hearing this, my heart immediately clenched. I turned to go to the next room, but Ethan suddenly grabbed me. "Let go!" I struggled hard, but Ethan gripped me tightly.

"Get the hell out of here!" Asuka also pulled at me: "You woman, don't be so ungrateful!" "Letting you leave now is giving you a way out. If you keep causing trouble here, spending three to five years in prison would be getting off easy." I laughed coldly, grabbed a glass of red wine from a nearby table and splashed it directly on Asuka. The red liquid flowed down her dress as Asuka's screams echoed throughout the banquet hall. Ethan momentarily loosened his grip, and I immediately seized the chance to run to the next room.

I pushed open the door to see a scene I would never forget for the rest of my life. My best friend was pinned under a man, desperately kicking her legs as she struggled with all her might. Only when I burst through the door did the bastard stop and look toward the entrance. I went completely insane, rushing over and kicking him clean off the couch. When I looked down at Reika, my heart shattered - her clothes had been half torn off, her body covered in injuries both big and small. My hands shook violently as I helped pull her clothes back on.

Chapter 2 "I'm sorry," I whispered, my voice breaking. "I'm so sorry I came too late."
