The members of the Strategy group were furious—but also wildly jealous.
A young, obscenely rich, romantic billionaire, devoted for three whole years?This was the kind of man they would destroy their competition for without hesitation.
Yet Emma—in their eyes—was the world's biggest idiot for throwing him away.
A heaven-tier match handed to her on a silver platter…and she simply discarded it?
Unforgivable.
Even the normally composed SugarBelle, the group owner, burst into the chat:
SugarBelle:"DM me every detail about Jason Carter.His personality, your message history, past behavior—everything.""I'll tailor a step-by-step win-back strategy for you.""Don't panic—there is still a chance."
Those three words—"still a chance"—hit Emma like oxygen to a drowning person.
She immediately scrambled to gather and send Jason's details.
Meanwhile, SugarBelle messaged Melody privately:
SugarBelle:"Melody, you attend Westbridge Music, right?Help me collect any extra info about Jason Carter."
Melody:"Okay.I heard Olivia Hart from Fine Arts is close to him.I'll ask my friend in her class."
Within minutes, Melody returned with a flood of data.SugarBelle combined it with Emma's and—
She went speechless.
Then she forwarded everything into a private admin-only group.
All the admins fell silent.
Then the chaos began.
"His net worth is even more terrifying than we thought.""He spent over $10M to save a senior?""Bought out a $280M tech company just to protect a classmate's reputation?""And the five minerals processing plants he gifted Holly Larson's family…That alone is probably over a billion.""WHERE do we find men like this?!"
They scrolled further:
"He owns New Vision Media, SkyCloud Technologies,The Carter Grand Hotel, Amusement Park,and that's just the public list.""The Pacific Bay development—that project alone might exceed $10B in value.""A deal like that needs government ties.This means he's not just rich—he's likely from a dynasty-level family."
They sighed, exhausted by how unreal this sounded.
"Emma is beautiful… sure.""But nowhere near enough to make this kind of man obsessed.""She must have saved the whole Milky Way in her past life.""Too bad she wasted her luck in this one."
Then—
The admins concluded:
"He was once painfully loyal.He was betrayed.Now he's exploring his options.""But—he still treats women incredibly well.Which means there's one entry point—his heart."
A notification popped up—SugarBelle messaging Emma again:
SugarBelle:"Jason Carter isn't worth 'a couple billion.'His assets exceed $10B—maybe much more.""If you fail to win him back,you're losing a fortune larger than fate itself."
Emma stared at the list of Jason's holdings—her eyes widening with each unimaginable number.
An earthquake of regret hit her.
She realized—
If she couldn't get him back,she would spend the rest of her life hating herself.
Her voice shook as she typed:
"What do I do?How do I win him back?Nothing I've tried works…"
SugarBelle:
"First, change your mindset.You can't go back to the past.""Jason already has three official girlfriends—and several unofficial lovers.""You hurt him deeply. Wanting to be his one and only again is impossible.""Demanding exclusivity will only remind him of your betrayal.""Your realistic goal is to become one of his women—or even accept being his side lover."
Emma froze.
So Jason had mistresses too?
A stab of jealousy pierced her chest.
"No." Emma gritted her teeth."He used to only love me.At most, I'll accept being one of his girlfriends.""I refuse to be lower than Megan or Holly."
SugarBelle cursed internally—This woman really doesn't know her place.But a paying client was still a client.
"We'll try for that. But you must fully cooperate.""You said you already took action.What have you done?"
Emma answered:
"I lit heart-shaped candles outside his dorm…waited downstairs for him several nights…"
SugarBelle nearly screamed:
"THAT'S IT?!"
Emma defended weakly:
"He ignores me…sometimes he's not even there…and the weather is freezing…"
SugarBelle snapped:
"Don't make excuses.""If you want to win him back,you must do at least what he did for you.""But you can't just copy him.You need to innovate—show your own effort."
She gave Emma prompts:
"He took you to the most beautiful places to watch sunsets.What could you do in return?"
Emma tried a few ideas.Rejected.All rejected.
Then—
"He took you cycling along the beach.What could you invite him to do?"
Emma brainstormed desperately.Rejected again.
Even the thinking alone made her mentally collapse.
Planning romance… consistently…for three entire years?
She finally felt the crushing weight of Jason's devotion—and how little she had appreciated it.
SugarBelle continued:
"You feel exhausted just imagining the effort.""Now you understand how much Jason sacrificed for you.""A man worth over $10 billion loving you like that?""You threw away a miracle."
Emma clutched her chest—guilt, fear, and heartbreak twisting deeper.
SugarBelle's voice turned icy but instructional:
"Step one — Understand the love he gave youand the pain you caused."
"Step two —Pursue him with more effort than he ever gave you."
"We'll help you design plans…but you must execute them."
Emma finally broke—tears smearing down her cheeks.
She lost him…and another woman took the life priceless enough to rewrite destiny.
A sharp pain tore through her chest.
Her breath hitched.She held her heart, trembling.
