The day Eric and I got married was a sunny day.
The wedding was grand.
When they were in the backyard, father’s eyes turned red. “Daughter, you have found a good home.”
He patted my shoulder and said, “With the Jacobson family’s child accompanying you and teaching you, Dad can rest assured to hand over the company to you.”
I showed a genuine smile that I hadn’t shown in a long time and said, “Thank you, Dad.”
Then, I linked arms with my father and walked towards Eric step by step.
Everyone was wishing me happiness.
Only I knew that I was heading towards power.
But I…
At this moment, I was really happy.
Eric was not a vegetarian. After I married him, no one bothered me anymore.
I have never eaten with Lucas before.
Whenever I went to the Jacobson family’s house, Eric would always greet me in advance and tell Lucas to go outside.
I was completely focused on the group, to the point that there were times when Eric came to me with a cold face, say- ing, “You’ve been so busy that you haven’t come home for a week?”
I could only smile apologetically and then coaxingly pulled him over, “I happen to have a question to ask you, hon- ey.”
After hearing his name called, he paused for a full ten seconds.
After he helped me solve the problem, he glanced at the adjacent lounge and asked, “Are the people inside still there?”
Me: “Okay.”
Eric pinched my chin, his face looking grim. “Lucas raised, now you raise?”
I had to say, “They don’t keep her anymore, and the little girl is easily bullied. It’s no big deal for me to take care o her for a while.”
After that day at the hospital, Lucas messaged me, assuring me that he would no longer have any contact with Talia.

As far as I know, others are too.
They abandoned Talia just like they abandoned me in my dream.
We always prefer what we cannot have.
After all, Talia is also the Talia. I don’t know what will happen if something really happens, so I decided to take good care of her.
Well, she was very insecure and always liked to seek me out.
When I was working, I asked her to go to the lounge.
Eric glanced at me and said lightly after a moment, “Come back for dinner tonight.”
I blinked.
He pursed his lips slightly and said, “I’ll cook.”
I made an OK gesture.
After Eric left, I received a message on my phone saying that two hundred thousand had been deposited into my ac-
count.
I raised an eyebrow as Talia carefully opened the door. “Um, Alice, this is the money I earned recently, all for you.”
Talia was beautiful, with a lovely face, and she quickly gained a lot of followers as an internet celebrity.
Some people said she was arrogant, but there were also people who liked her.
At first, she looked at me with shining eyes and said, “Alice, I can’t believe someone actually likes me.”
I patted her head and said, “If someone likes you, it also means that there will be someone who dislikes you.”
She blushed and smiled shyly, “As long as someone likes me, that’s enough.”
Even stronger than I had imagined.
Later, I asked her, “Don’t they like you, Lucas?”
She shook her head firmly, “They never cared about my thoughts, nor respected me. I was just something for their amusement.”
I was stunned.
After speaking, she lowered her head with some self–blame, “Alice, I also look down on myself, but I am short of money…”
I was feeling a mix of emotions, and in the end, I only said one thing: “Don’t think like that, it’s not your fault.”
Because in my dream, I had seen Talia from a distance.

His face was pale, his eyes empty, and every move he made was like a lifeless doll, looking as if he could wither away at any moment.
