Surrender To CEO's Pure Adoration

In front of a somber building located in A City...

Esther Li had a blank look on her face as she held a woven bag in her hand.

"Esther, is anyone coming to pick you up? Any friends or families?" the policewoman kindly asked. She was the one who walked her out.

Esther Li shook her head and flashed a meek smile. "My boyfriend's working today. I'm afraid he won't be able to pick me up," she said.

Her boyfriend, Murphy Ye, was a typical workaholic. He could have easily forgotten that she went home today. Also, Esther Li's only best friend was grounded by her parents. There was no one else to pick her up.

"Just don't forget about the grievances you've suffered. Just be strong!" the policewoman reminded. She sighed, saying a few more words for Esther Li, before turning around and entering through the building's door.

Confused and lonely, Esther Li slowly paced along the road like a stray bird without anywhere to go.

'Screech!'

A yellow Ferrari sports car suddenly rushed from a distance and stopped right in front of Esther Li. Its break's screeches were so loud that it could possibly damage people's eardrums.

Startled, Esther Li gave her chest light pats to ease her raised heartbeat.

"Ah, Sister! There you are!" When the car door opened, a sleek female greeted Esther. As she stepped out, the woman pretended to be surprised. Her long legs graced towards Esther, and a fake smile threaded its way into her lips.

"Erica?" Esther called. She looked amazed. But Esther eventually calmed down as she vigilantly looked at Erica Li.

Erica Li was Esther's stepsister. She was adopted by Esther's father. Some time later, when Esther was imprisoned because she accidentally injured others while protecting Erica Li, Esther found out that she was really her father's biological child with another woman.

From the beginning up until the end, Esther was only being played by Erica Li. She even framed Esther and charged her with false accusations. The vicious woman totally messed up Esther's life!

After a long time, however, Erica Li slowly matured. She wore a tightly-fitted, sleeveless, silver dress. Her long hair was permed, and her face wore some exquisite makeup, in which her eyes looked really charming.

Usually, when archenemies meet, they almost certainly would want to kill each other. But at this moment, when Esther saw Erica, she didn't feel any emotions towards her.

"I'm so happy to finally see you again, sister," Erica said. She seemed excited, and wiped her cheeks as if tears were rolling down on it.

"Do you expect me to believe you?" Esther sneered. Three years had already passed. Esther was no longer the naive girl that Erica had made her to be. It was because of Erica and her mother that Esther had suffered from severe humiliation.

Erica set her up like that because she wanted to take her place in the Li family and take everything from her.

Now, she had already achieved her goal.

"Sister, why are you still blaming me? Dad was the one who insisted on breaking his relationship with you. He said that he wouldn't recognize you as his daughter now that you've ruined our family's reputation..." Erica looked at Esther with pitiful eyes. But Erica could see her excitement through them.

Esther's chest began to ache. She thought that she was prepared to deal with this--that she wouldn't feel depressed anymore.

But how could she? She had been driven out of her own family even. She hadn't been connected with them ever since the incident happened.

"Mom did everything to change Dad's mind. I begged! But no matter how hard we tried, he wouldn't change his mind. He even hired a lawyer..."

Looking at Erica's exaggerated sad look, Esther suddenly despised herself. Why did she buy Erica's poor acting by then?

"I haven't seen you for three years! What made you come for me now?" Esther asked, indifferent. In her mind, she knew that Erica wasn't here to welcome her.

"We're sisters, after all. Also, I'm marrying Murphy. I wanted to invite you personally," Erica said with a smug look on her face. She took out a red invitation card from her expensive crocodile bag and handed it to Esther.

Esther was overwhelmed with what Erica had just said. She felt like her head was going to explode. As she took two steps back, she almost fell down on the ground.

"You're lying. Murphy is my boyfriend..." Esther said with a weak voice.

It couldn't be possible. How could Murphy Ye give in to Erica and marry her?! Esther tried so hard to calm herself down. She couldn't understand why Erica was torturing her with such an impossible thing. 'Is she just trying to make me miserable?' she thought to herself.

"Esther!" a man's voice called. "What she said is true..." the man continued.
