"Home, sweet home!" A young man muttered under his breath as he alighted from the plane, carrying a small, beat-up, old bag.A small smile was plastered on his face as he walked out of the airport, his movement slow but steady.Soon enough, the young man, Jeremy, stepped out of the airport. Taking in a deep breath, he looked around, and once again, the familiar view of the city settled into his mind.At the same time, memories of the past also slowly awakened.As the illegitimate son of the Raven family, he was treated worse than a dog.His mother had died from an illness when he was aged three, and he was taken back to the Raven family house.Since then, he faced countless torments from his stepmother, negligent father, and his half-brother and sister.Finally, five years ago, his brother and sister embezzled quite a sum from the company and framed him for it.Angrily, his father banished him and sent him to the wastelands.The wastelands were a place of death. Anyone who went there

The room fell silent for a moment, no one saying anything. Jeremy had stopped in his tracks, but he was now close to Sarah."Are you sure about this?" Sarah's gentle voice came after a long moment of silence.The slight hesitation within her could be felt."Yes, I am," Jeremy answered, sounding rather firm, his gaze locked on Sarah."And what would you do after seeing my face?" Sarah questioned, still not turning around.But one could see her fingers tightened around the hem of her clothes."Well..." Jeremy stuttered, trying to find the right words to use, but he just couldn't find them."You don't need to be confused; everyone was like that, believing they could stand the sight of me before they saw my face," Sarah chuckled lightly, the self-deprecation within those chuckles could be felt."It's better you leave, just go on; I won't restrict your movements; after a month we'll get our divorce," Sarah continued, a gentle sniff sounded beneath the veil."You don't need to worry about t

Sarah stared at her face in the mirror, still not believing what she was seeing.Her hands moved as she gently touched her smooth, white, jade-like face which had been restored.No, this was even smoother and clearer than the past.In just one night, he had accomplished it. The face that everyone had belittled her for five years.Everyone had treated her like she was unworthy of living and yet, that same face she thought had no cure had been solved by this seemingly very ordinary husband of hers.Tears streaked down Sarah's face as she touched her face gently, still not believing what was happening.Jeremy, on the other hand, was rummaging through his bag, searching for something.A minute later, he fished out a picture. Quickly, he stared at the picture, then raised his head and looked at Sarah.Jeremy blinked, as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Instantly, he rubbed his eyes and took another look at the picture, then at Sarah.After a while, Jeremy collapsed back to the bed.

Sarah's expression changed the moment she heard this. How could she bear to accept this bet?It was all a trap and she knew it. Mr. Jian of the Bai family was not someone who was easy to meet or please, not to begin talking about matters of investment."Are you going to accept it or not?" Denis's mocking voice came, pulling Sarah back to her senses."Fine..." Sarah bit her lower lip, her hands clenched into a fist; a flash of determination rose in her eyes.Jeremy had restored her face and given her a new life. Even if she had to crawl to hell, she would be willing. She couldn't allow her family to get what they wanted.When she was disfigured, they were the same set who had nearly forced her to despair, and now they wanted her to abandon the only man who didn't mock her and even helped her.The liquid he had used on her—who knew how much it had cost? She knew money couldn't buy something like that.Besides, she had three days to prepare. With her capabilities, she was sure she would

"I... I... am sorry," the old man quickly bowed to Jeremy and Jasper, but his gaze was fixed particularly on Jasper."I didn't know you had guests, Mr. Jian," the old man said again, apologizing for the second time."I'm sorry, Sir Jasper," the old man apologized again, turning to Jasper this time."I'll take my leave," he added and turned around, wanting to hurry out of the private room."Wait a minute, old man," Jasper chuckled, stopping the old man in his tracks."Do you know him, Jasper?" Jeremy raised his brows, looking at Jasper."Yes, sir; don't you know, it was his granddaughter the government hired us to save," Jasper answered, nodding."But since you didn't come with us, he didn't see you, so he didn't know who you were," Jeremy carried on."Also, he's the head of the Ravencroft family, Jacob Ravencroft.""Oh," Jeremy nodded and then turned away, letting Jasper ask the old man what he wanted to.Jacob, on the other hand, felt his heart was about to burst out of his chest.Th
