Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

In January, Goldmoor's chill still lingered in the air, almost freezing.

Britney Hammond stepped out of the shopping mall, tightening her white wool coat, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty. Carrying the items she had chosen, she got into a private car, her beautiful face glowing with joy as she glanced at the things beside her.

"Miss, the new in-law was such a lucky man to be having you as his wife!" the old driver chuckled.

"Diego!" Britney softly chided, though her cheeks were tinged with a blush.

Her slender fingers gently caressed the texture of the black sweater inside the shopping bag, and her heart was filled with indescribable joy. The wedding date was set for the end of January, which was a good day. This meant that in just three days, she would be marrying him.

As the wedding day approached, she would always go shopping with her best friend, and they would only look at things that were not others, but items that she had bought for him according to his preferences.

Lost in thought, Diego had skillfully parked the car in front of a small villa and respectfully opened the door for Britney.

Britney carried her things and walked towards the villa with a light and brisk pace.

Walking up to the door of the room, Britney blew a breath of hot air into her palm and opened the door without any forewarning.

As she stepped inside, her gaze fell upon the sight of two intertwined bodies on the red wedding bed, a harsh and unsettling image that filled her with shock and discomfort.

The intimate sounds reached her ears,

and the movements on the bed stilled, as if sensing someone had entered.

Her soon-to-be husband, who she had thought of as devoted and perfect, was staring at her with a face still filled with desire, seemingly caught off guard.

However, that desire was for someone else.

Underneath him lay a woman with beautiful figure, she even pulled him down and pouted when she didn't get the satisifaction. However, after realizing Britney's presence, shyly tried to cover herself with the bedsheet next to her.

"Cousin!" The voice was weak, completely different from the excited tone just now.

"Britney..."

The man nervously picked up the clothes next to him to cover his lower body. He took a few steps toward Britney, and tried to reach for her, but she stepped back and dodged his hand.

Britney's upbringing made her try to stay calm, not crying or making a fuss.clenched the items in her hands tightly, as if seeking for a hint of support. Step by step, she retreated and walked towards the living room.

Five minutes later, the two people who were just naked a moment ago, were already dressed and sitting across from Britney.

"Cousin, I will sever this relationship with Conrad!" said Stephanie Hammond, Britney's cousin who is one month younger than her.

Britney ignored Stephanie and kept staring at Conrad Schwartz, who had a pained expression on his face and remained silent.

Seeing that her words had no effect, Stephanie knelt on the ground, hands on her lower abdomen, looking distressed. "I won't keep this child... I won't get in the way of your marriage! Please, don't blame Conrad!"

Conrad heard these words, looked up, and his eyes met Britney's gaze.

The man in front of her, who had once made countless promises of eternal love, collapsed in an instant. She couldn't believe it. The man who had treated her so well in front of others, when proposing to her in front of everyone, said, "Britney, I only want to marry you in this lifetime! I only love you! I only cherish you!" But then he turned around and got involved with her cousin, and even had a child with her!

"I had no interest in second-hand goods!" Britney said with a low voice tinged with sarcasm. Her heart was being twisted painfully...

"Britney!" Conrad exclaimed incredulously as he looked at the woman in front of him. He couldn't believe that the gentle and elegant woman would utter such heartless words.

"I have said before that what I want is loyalty in love. Since you are not loyal to our love, we are done!" Britney said, speaking so decisively.

"But... in three days, we were going to have our wedding!" Conrad said.

Britney laughed, a cold laugh. "So, you want me to pretend that everything between you two never happened? Or should I be your first wife, she'll be your second?" Britney finished speaking and looked at Stephanie. Stephanie stared back at Britney, but her eyes no longer held the softness they had before. Instead, there was a hint of coldness.

Britney paid no attention to Stephanie's almost hostile gaze and instead looked at Conrad, who remained silent across from her.

Scenes from the past flashed through Britney's mind, contrasting with the present... Conrad's attitude left Britney feeling numb with pain.

"Britney!" Conrad walked over, trying to grab Britney's hand. Britney stood up, without a moment's hesitation, turned around and left!

Stephanie held Conrad's hand from behind, leading him back into the room. "Conrad, give her some time to calm down first!" she said, turning her back but with a smug smile on her lips.

Britney walked step by step, her footsteps floating, looking somewhat disheveled.

Every tree and every blade of grass here has been infused with her heart and soul, she feared that any imperfection might mar their marriage. But from now on, she would never come here again!

It was a cold winter day, but Britney didn't feel cold at this moment.

Just walked out of the villa gate.

Two cars, coming from two different directions, were driving towards here without slowing down, but instead getting faster.

"Bang..." A loud crash.

Inside the heated, intimate bedroom, the man once again climbed onto the red wedding bed, unaware of the crash outside.

Pain.

Excruciating pain.

In a daze, I somewhat heard a pleasant voice.

A clear pain was felt in her ankle. This was Britney's first sensation upon waking up.

In the blink of an eye, Britney seemed to see a man. However, the sudden brightness made Britney close her eyes again.

Recalling the terrifying scene before, Britney was still shaken. She almost thought she was going to have a car accident, but unexpectedly, the two cars collided and she narrowly escaped with her life

"Where am I?" Britney asked.

"Hospital!" a deep and magnetic voice resonated in Britney's ears.

Britney couldn't help but open her eyes, and in the backlight, a man dressed in green appeared before her eyes. It must be said that the man's appearance and the outstanding aura emanating from him were more than just a little impressive.

With a handsome and uncast appearance, graceful demeanor, and dignified and steady bearing, his words, like a gentle breeze in spring, are captivating. His voice is also pleasant to listen to, as rich as a cello.

It seemed as if everything around him became a backdrop because of his presence.

Britney suddenly remembered what her innocently sweet best friend had said to her.

In this lifetime, never marry a guardian!

Marrying a guardian! It's like becoming a widow, hardly seeing each other for a year, and in the end, having to maintain purity for him!

And the people in the training area were also very boring...

The man's deep eyes also gazed at Britney, fair skin, a straight and delicate nose, slightly parted lips, warm and full, a face so beautiful that it was beyond description.

Noticing his gaze, Britney looked up.

In a flash, four eyes met.

"Did you hit me?" Britney looked at him, questioning.

The man remained silent for two seconds and then said, "Yes!"

"How do you plan to compensate me?" Britney continued to scrutinize the man in front of her.

"Just name your price!" Still simple and short.

"I don't need money!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked in and disregardedly lifted Britney's hand, looking inside and outside.

"Are you okay?"

With the arrival of the girl, Britney recalled the phone call she vaguely heard, which was probably him asking Karsyn Melton to come over. Faced with the nervousness of her childhood best friend towards herself, tears welled up in her eyes, "Karsyn! I'm fine!"

"Speak up! What do you want?" The man remained indifferent.

"So you're the one who hit my Britney? Fortunately, I called you. Otherwise, this person would surely have fled to avoid punishment." Karsyn turned around and only then carefully examined the man in the room, and in that instant when she turned back, she was momentarily taken aback.

Britney grabbed Karsyn and, taking advantage of her distraction, said to the man, "Marry me!"

"Britney, did you lose your mind?" Karsyn snapped back to reality and pointed at the man in the room, raising her voice, "Did he knock some sense out of you? Are you going to marry him?"

"Although he was quite handsome... but you can't be deceived by looks!" Karsyn would never admit that when she saw this person, she was also amazed!

There was suddenly a sense of humor in the air. Britney looked up and met the man's cold gaze, feeling a strange sense of panic...

Britney adjusted her emotions. "Karsyn, believe me!"

Karsyn couldn't help but obediently listen every time her best friend spoke so seriously and sternly.

Britney turned to the man and said, "Marry me, I will support you!"

Without waiting for the man to respond, Karsyn couldn't help but get angry again. "Britney, did you hit your head or something? Have you forgotten that you're getting married in three days? And it's Conrad, the one you love the most. Is he threatening you... I'm calling the police!"

However, between the other two people, there was not the slightest tolerance for disturbance.

The man paused for a moment and asked in return, "Are you sure?"

Britney looked the man straight in the eye, without a hint of hesitation. "I'm not crazy, I'm sure."

"Okay! Wait for me..."

The man left with firm words and got up to leave.

Only a tall and slender figure was left behind.

"I...this..." Karsyn felt completely ignored and plopped down on the chair. "Britney, who is he?"

"I don't know!" Britney shrugged.

"What?" Karsyn was completely confused, "You don't know who it is, and you want to marry him? Do you realize that the person you want to marry is Conrad!"

"You hit the nail on the head!" Britney didn't answer, she shrugged and said helplessly.

Facing Karsyn's bewildered expression, Britney said directly, "I was cheated on!"

"That angelic bitch?"

Britney didn't deny it, nodding her head. 'Angelic bitch' is how Karsyn refers to Britney's so-called cousin. Karsyn had once warned Britney about Stephanie, but she chose to believe in Conrad...

Now... thinking about it is really ridiculous... to the extreme!

"He had the nerve to cheat! I'm going to teach him a lesson, damn it!" Karsyn said, grabbing her bag and standing up.

"Karsyn!" Britney exclaimed, putting a stop to it.

"My dear sister! At this moment, you wouldn't still be thinking about forgiving them and letting them off the hook, would you?" Karsyn was held back by Britney. With a face full of resentment, she was truly furious.

"Karsyn, I wanted to handle it myself!"

Britney smiled at Karsyn, reassuring her.

This matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface! However, she didn't want innocent Karsyn to know about these things. She clearly felt that the car had murderous intentions towards her...

Since this time, she was not killed by the collision! Then she must make the other party pay an equal price...

"But, you can't just marry someone you don't know! You knew nothing about him!"

Britney knew very well that Karsyn's got a lively personality and couldn't stand marrying a man who seemed so indifferent. However, it's different for her. She pulled Karsyn close and looked into her eyes, saying word by word, "He seems to have no interest in women!"

"Did he have any issues in that aspect?"

Britney knocked onher head and said, "What are you thinking? Have you been reading too many dirty books?"

On the other side, the man had just left the room, and was walking down the long corridor of the hospital, followed by a muscular man.

"The man had already died on the way to the hospital," the man lowered his head. "He had a criminal record and had just been released! I just received the test report, it was a case of drunk driving!"

Taking the report handed over by the man, his gaze paused for two seconds.

"Go back first!"

Looking back, Britney collapsed in his arms, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.

"Now?"

The man did not speak, but the man seemed to understand.

Afterwards, the man followed the man and got in the elevator.

Britney's injuries were not severe, and after resting in the hospital for half a day, the pain in her ankle had lessened.So she asked Karsyn to arrange her discharge.

By the time they left, evening had already fallen.

The nights in Goldmoor were never lonely. The lights were always on, earning it the nickname "the city that never sleeps". It was one of the top cities in Chiosia, thriving economically, and a city that people didn't want to leave once they arrived.

Karsyn drove Britney back home, grumbling and complaining the whole way, never stopping.

"It must be that bitch throwing herself at him! In all of Goldmoor, who could compare to you in family background or looks?"

The Goldmoor Four major financial conglomerates, the Hammond Group ranked first, the Schwartz Group, the Castro Group were equally matched, and the Melton Group came last. Currently, the Hammond Group is being managed by Britney's father, and Britney, who not only comes from a wealthy family but also possesses exceptional beauty, has received a good education and has always been hailed as the "most desirable woman" by the public.

"Karsyn, remember, after we go back, don't mention this matter to anyone!" Britney's bright eyes gazed at the night view of Goldmoor, her mind already filled with countless thoughts.

"Don't worry! However, what are your plans for the future?" Karsyn held the steering wheel, driving at a moderate speed. Sh muttered to herself, "The Schwartz family definitely won't relinquish their grip on your father's influence..."

Thousands of lights receded in Britney's eyes.

"You forgot that Stephanie is also part of the Hammond family!" And her uncle happens to be Stephanie's father, who has always had his eyes on the Hammond family.

"Like father like son..." Karsyn pursed her lips. "Britney, does he know how to contact you?"

A silence filled the car as only soft music played. From the rearview mirror, Karsyn noticed Britney drifting off to sleep. Without another word, she adjusted the car's temperature a bit warmer.

After about ten minutes, the expensive car came to a stop in front of an old family estate. Its red roof tiles and gray walls gave it a sense of dignity and history.

At this moment, Britney also woke up. After saying goodbye to Karsyn, she walked into the old house. This was the ancestral home passed down by the Castro Group, and the descendants only made some minor repairs, preserving its original flavor.

The servant bowed respectfully when he saw Britney: "Miss!"

Britney entered the living room and handed her coat to the servant. At that moment, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa, watching TV, and her father, as usual, was cutting fruits for her mother.

Seeing this scene, Britney felt a thousand emotions in her heart.

Ever since I could remember, father would make time each night to sit with mother, peeling fruit and chatting, even though he didn't like the shows she watched.It was a small gesture, but it showed that he care.'

Once, she also believed that she and Conrad would be as loving as her parents.

"Britney is back!"

Britney snapped out of her thoughts and smiled warmly at the woman walking towards her. "Mom..."

Diana Baldwin, Britney's mother, looked as youthful as ever, carrying herself gracefully with the training of a former dancer. Even in her fifties, she maintained her figure, showing little sign of age.

Looking closely, Britney's good looks bear some resemblance to Diana, but she blossoms even more beautifully. And Britney's slender figure is also inherited from Diana.

"Why did you come back so late today? Have you eaten?" said Quinten Hammond, Britney's father, with a resounding voice.

"We have eaten!" Britney said, linking arms with Diana and walking towards the sofa.

"Mom, Dad, I want to tell you something!" Britney sat down.

"What's the matter?" Quinten put down the apple in his hand as Diana handed him a tissue.

Meeting their gentle eyes, Britney's gaze remained resolute. "Dad, Mom, I want to call off the engagement."

Her parents exchanged glances. After a moment, Quinten spoke up. "Britney, do you realize that the wedding with Conrad is in only three days?"

"Besides, your marriage to Conrad would advance both our families' business interests. Not that I'm suggesting you should sacrifice your happiness for a merger... The Hammonds doesn't need to stoop to that level."

Originally, everyone in Goldmoor knew, and even anticipated, their wedding! After all, it was a union between two prominent economic families. After all, from an outsider's perspective, she and Conrad were such a perfect match.

"Dad, of course I know. Before, it was a matter of emotions between him and me. Now... Dad, I don't want to say anything else, just consider it as your daughter being willful this time!"

Britney was unwilling to tell her father what she had seen. Given his tendency to protect her, it was estimated that it would cause a big fuss. After all, behind her father, there was still the Hammond Group that needed him.

Quinten watched his determined daughter, and as a loving father, he reluctantly said, "Let Dad think carefully about how to handle this. After all, the Schwartz family will definitely not agree to call off the engagement!"

"Dad, leave this to me. I will make the Schwartz family take the initiative and ensure that the Hammond family is not implicated in this matter," Britney said.

After discussing the breach of their engagement, Britney headed upstairs to her room.

As she pondered how best to turn this situation to her advantage, she plugged in her phone and turned it back on.

Countless missed calls and messages flooded her screen,

all beneath the name she once yearned to see:

"Conrad!"
