Chapter 7
Hearing my demand, Caleb Coleman’s eyes were filled with shock.
He never expected me to be so resolute, so heartless.
Actually, when I made that request, I never expected his consent.
But the world is vast, and I wasn’t some ordinary girl without any family background. If I wanted to avoid him, it was no challenge at all.
With a graceful turn, I walked away.
The sun was perfect, and the breeze was gentle.

Caleb Coleman had always thought that after the divorce, I would return to the Lewis family home, waiting for him to come pick me up.
But what he didn’t know was that, at that moment, my parents and brother were busy figuring out how to make him regret it. I certainly wasn’t going to go back and disturb them.
Just before boarding the plane, my phone rang.
“Brother?”
“It’s all set, the lawyer is handling the handover.”
“Okay, you take care of it. I have no more connection to him.”

“I’m boarding now. I’ll change my number once I land and get in touch with you.”
“By the way, brother, if Caleb Coleman contacts you, tell him I left something for him in the villa’s safe.”
Before arriving in the UK, my brother had made full arrangements for my life, but I had been away from campus for so long, and now I had to not only focus on my studies but also adjust to the different environment and atmosphere.
Those who study art often have their own inner world.
They don’t expect others to understand them, nor do they probe into others too much.
Here, people only care about your

achievements. They don’t care about your identity or your past.
It was a good place to forget past.
So when my brother sent me several news links, I felt nothing.
“Top model shows no baby bump – sparking miscarriage speculation.”
“Using pregnancy to rise, now her rich dream is shattered.”
I couldn’t even be bothered to look and dialed the phone immediately.
“How’s it? Exciting, isn’t it?” my brother’s voice came through the phone, tinged with a hint of amusement.
“I didn’t read it. Just tell me what happened.”

“I was trying to find out who the father of Ivy Rogers‘ baby was, but I found out she wasn’t pregnant at all.”
“Caleb Coleman isn’t stupid, he probably suspected something, especially since it’s been months and there’s been no sign of pregnancy.”
“The show had to go on. She either had to figure out a way to get pregnant with Caleb Coleman’s child or create a miscarriage.”
“The first option didn’t work because Caleb Coleman didn’t give her a chance. The second one, I didn’t give her a chance.”
My brother spoke with a smug tone, like a child.
I could understand him. He had raised me

when I was young, and I always listened to him.
The first time I disobeyed my brother was when I insisted on marrying Caleb Coleman.
The first time I defied him again was when I forgave Caleb Coleman after learning about Ivy Rogers‘ existence.
As a result, he never had a good opinion of Caleb Coleman.
In situation like that, most people would try to get on the good side of their brother–in–law, but Caleb Coleman, strangely, never showed any awareness of this.
Both of them stood their ground, stubbornly refusing to budge, and so the cold war continued for years.

But despite the animosity, Caleb Coleman had earned the position of CEO of the Coleman Corporation among his uncles and brothers, and my brother had certainly played a significant role in that.
All he wanted was to increase my value in Caleb Coleman’s eyes, to ensure that I could live a happy life.
After all, saving a life is a debt, but offering support is also a form of grace.
“So, you contacted the media to expose her fake pregnancy?”
“That would be boring. The truth is more interesting when discovered by the person themselves. I just made sure to switch the hospital she’d arranged for her miscarriage when she was sent there.”

“A matter this significant, Caleb Coleman will definitely accompany her. But seeing how quickly the news was suppressed, Coleman’s PR team must have worked hard.”
“Don’t worry, Scarlett. Caleb Coleman is protecting her because he’s still in charge of Coleman Group. But in a few days, that might not be the case.”
I knew my brother would do everything he could to make sure I didn’t suffer in vain. But this was my personal matter.
How could I remain an outsider in it?
“Brother, has Caleb Coleman contacted you?”
“Of course. He wanted your contact details. I didn’t give them to him.” My brother snorted, his tone turning cold.

“Does he think you’re a garbage recycling station that takes everything in? What’s next? Are you going to soften up again?”
“Impossible. I just want Caleb Coleman and Ivy Rogers to burn with even greater intensity.”
I’ve always said, some things must be remembered, and I refuse to be the only one in pain.
“If he contacts you again, just tell him there’s something for him in the villa’s safe. You don’t need to worry about Ivy Rogers. Caleb Coleman will handle her.”
“All you need to do is focus on getting him off the throne of Coleman’s CEO.”
