The day Phillip Morton's first love, Briana Raymond, came back to town, the whole elite circle in Duventon was waiting for me to make a fool of myself. He handed me a check for 15 million. "Flora, Briana doesn't want you around. Just take the money and leave." I didn't cry or make a scene. I took the check without hesitation and pressed the signed divorce papers right against his chest. I smiled. "Thanks for making this happen, Mr. Morton. Pretending for three years in front of you was exhausting." Phillip frowned, his voice tinged with confusion. "What do you mean?" I unlocked my phone, pointed at the lock screen, a memorial photo of a man who looked strikingly similar to Phillip, and grinned. I said, "What I'm saying is, you were just a substitute, too. Now that I've got money, I don't need a knockoff anymore." That night, Phillip, the prince of the Duventon elite, went crazy.
