After Pretending to be Mute for Eight Years, My Boyfriend Left MeChapter 1

Venice's boyfriend, Kevin, was the proud heir of the McAuliffe family in Los Angeles.

She, on the other hand, was just the mute owner of a small café—at least, that's what everyone thought.

When the McAuliffe family fell into chaos, it was Venice who saved him, who stayed by his side through the darkest three years of his life.

Later, the McAuliffe family sent twelve Maybachs and a hundred bodyguards to escort Kevin back to the McAuliffe estate. Overnight, he became the long-lost heir of the McAuliffe empire.

At his inauguration, a reporter asked, "And the mute young lady beside you—who is she?"

Kevin looked straight at the camera and replied coldly, "Just a caretaker. A mute like her isn't worthy of the McAuliffe family name."

Venice smiled. She had never been mute—and she certainly wasn't some small café owner.

That was all an act.

In truth, she was the only daughter of the world's richest man.

Picking up her phone, she made a single call.

"Tell him I've agreed. The wedding will be in seven days."

Her groom? Adam McAuliffe, Kevin's younger uncle.
