Chapter 1500:


    “Actually… you and Marc were married,” Sharon said, the words spilling out in a rush. “He looked down on your background and cheated on you. When you found out, you divorced him immediately. After that, you joined the experimental project you’d always dreamed of, and that’s how you met William.”


    The sentence struck her like a thunderp, shattering everything she thought she knew.


    She had… been married to Marc?


    “If you don’t believe me, check the courthouse yourself. Your records and Marc’s will both show the divorce.”


    Ste trusted Sharon’s words without question. She wouldn’t lie about something like this.


    “After the divorce, you took your technology with you. Marc’spany copsed without it and went bankrupt. Now that he’s wormed his way back into your life, it’s only because he wants you to rebuild his empire for him.”


    Ste’s heart hammered against her ribs. She pressed a trembling hand to her chest, but the sharp pain continued to spread, relentless and consuming.


    The man she had loved with everything in her had betrayed her years ago, and now every gesture, every word from him was nothing more than calcted exploitation.


    “You and William loved each other deeply. You were nning your wedding when Nina’s jealousy turned vicious. She dragged you to a cliff and injected you with drugs that wiped your memory clean. William fell from that same cliff trying to save you. He vanished for over a month.”


    Ste stared at Sharon, disbelief etched across her face. But Sharon remained calm and steady, her expression carrying the unmistakable weight of truth.


    “No one knows what William endured during that lost month. But when he returned, he had twisted everything in his mind. He convinced himself you’d only approached him because of Marc, that you had never truly loved him at all.”


    Josie released a heavy sigh. “And your memory froze two years in the past—back when Marc was still the person you loved most. You forgot everything: his betrayal, the way he used you, all of it.”

    Ste felt the air leave her lungs. These truths existed beyond even her wildest nightmares, too surreal and painful to have ever imagined.


    How had her life be this tangled, this impossibly dramatic?


    The web of rtionships connecting her to William and Marc threatened to suffocate her with itsplexity.


    She traced back through recent weeks, and realization struck her like lightning. “No wonder William’s friends all recognized me and acted so strangely. That’s why…”


    The truth crystallized before her: she and William had truly loved each other once.


    “Stel, I know this is crushing you right now, but listen to me—don’t force the memories toe back, and don’t me yourself for any of this. You did nothing wrong. Your memory was stolen from you.”


    Sharon watched Ste carefully, terrified she might spiral exactly as the doctor had warnedplete psychological copse.


    But Ste had already sunk beneath the weight of those revtions, drowning in truths she couldn’t escape.


    She whispered, her voice barely audible, “So the woman who called me—the one who said her name was Haley—she was Marc’s affair partner?”


    Sharon pressed her lips into a thin line and nodded slowly. “Her name is Haley Smith. She’s from Achury. She helped Mad major projects until she wasn’t useful anymore. Then he dumped her without a second thought.”
