Anya realized she’d been blacklisted. By whom?
She managed to stop Chase’s car, pleading, “Chase, I’ve been punished; please forgive me! I beg you!”
Chase replied coldly, “I just had the national entertainment industry blacklist you; I have no international influence.”
He sped off, leaving Anya on the ground. Her expression was a mix of anger, frustration, and confusion. She hadn’t angered anyone more powerful than Chase, had she?
She became an internet celebrity, making money through suggestive content and product endorsements. But she was frequently reported; her endorsements often failed. She wanted to make a quick buck, so she became an escort, maintaining connections with high society. Chase didn’t care about what she was doing. He found a new girlfriend who resembled Scarlett–not in looks, but in demeanor. The point was, her eyes were pure and full of adoration, just like the old Scarlett. She was obedient and completely devoted to him. He loved it, murmuring, “Scarlett… Scarlett…”
The woman held him close, kissing his ear.“I’m here, always here. I won’t leave you…”
He became obsessed. As he kissed her, she smiled triumphantly.
“Will you marry me? I want to be with you forever and bear your children.”
Chase stiffened, silent for a moment. Then, he said, “Okay.”
Her eyes lit up.“You’re the best! How about we go see my parents tomorrow? The next day, they went to the airport. Amidst the bustling crowds, they collected their boarding passes and headed for their gate, hand in hand.
Chase stopped abruptly, stiffening. He saw Scarlett!
Seven years passed, and she hadn’t changed much. Beautiful, serene, radiant. Her eyes were as clear and bright as ever. But she was holding the hand of a cute little boy, who was about five years old. He looked just like Leon.
Chase’s heart stopped; he couldn’t breathe. Why was she back in America with a child? Had Leon… cheated on her after seven years?

Hand in hand, they walked away, their son bouncing along.

Chase couldn’t bear to interrupt their happiness. He was standing there, like an outsider. His new girlfriend caught up with him, watching their backs. Taking his hand, she said, “Chase, it’s time for our flight.”
He looked at her, noticing the gleam in her eyes. No, this wasn’t Scarlett. No one could replace
Scarlett.
He released her hand, cold and heartless.“I’m not going. We’re over.”
At both ends of the Earth, they continue the trajectory of their lives, seemingly calm days but hidden under the dark surge of fate. However, life never stops making waves, in a distant foreign land, a mysterious opportunity quietly comes, like the faint stars twinkling in the night sky, gradually converging into a powerful force that changes everything. Whether it is an unknown challenge or an unexpected reunion, the new story is already quietly dormant at the crossroads of fate, waiting for the moment to be opened, and their lives are about to be pulled by this force to a new, full of unknown and possible direction, the past love and hate in this grand destiny narrative, but the prelude, the real movement, has just played.
