“Broken Daydream) Chapter 1
Menu
My sister Chloe, who had graduated from the socialite school, swore she’d
marry into a noble family. To orchestrate a “chance” encounter, she decided to
rear–end Hudson Thorne, the famous heir to the Thorne family, in my brand-
new car. I slammed on the brakes just in time, telling her the Thornes weren’t
fools; we couldn’t afford the repairs even if we sold everything we owned.
Later, Hudson threw a lavish wedding that made national headlines. Chloe
went ballistic with envy, screaming that if I hadn’t stopped her, she would have
been the bride. Fueled by rage, she ran me over with her car.
Then, I opened my eyes. I was in the passenger seat. Chloe sat beside me, a
smug smirk playing on her lips. Her eyes were glued to the luxury supercar ahead.
“The moment Hudson sees me, he’ll be completely smitten,” she
purred.“And I’m definitely not driving this piece of junk anymore.”
This time, I didn’t stop her. She floored the gas pedal. My car slammed into a
5—million supercar.
The impact was brutal. The supercar skidded before finally coming to a halt.
The massive crash drew a crowd. The supercar was totaled- the rear wing lay
shattered, the bodywork severely dented. Chloe didn’t care. She recovered
instantly, checking her makeup in the rearview mirror. She mussed her hair,
rubbed her eyes to squeeze out a few tears and dabbed her lips with just the right

amount of lipstick. If I hadn’t seen it all happen, I would have believed she was a frightened little lamb.
After that, Chloe glanced at me. My calmness and stability surprised her.
She’d strategically placed two thick pillows behind her before the crash, and
accelerated without noticing me. If I hadn’t anticipated it and gripped the
dashboard, I’d be bruised and battered. This was her MO; she would always
embarrass me to highlight her beauty and elegance.
“Hudson rarely makes public appearances. Just do as I say and don’t screw
this up,” Chloe snapped, dipping a finger into her compact and smearing white
powder across my lips.“When I’m Mrs. Thorne, you can work for us. You will
earn much more than you do now.” She pulled down the neckline of her clingy
knit sweater and flung open the car door.
In my past life, Chloe blamed me for derailing her dreams of marring a
billionaire, attributing her subsequent miserable life to me. This time, I stepped
aside and waited to see if she could truly change her fate.
Chloe’s arrival caused quite a stir; some of the guys even took out their cell
phones to take pictures of her. She’d always been proud of her figure. The
bodycon dress accentuated her curves, attracting considerable attention.
Hudson didn’t get out of his car; only a sharply dressed chauffeur circled the
supercar. He walked to the front door and spoke to Hudson. Chloe bypassed the
chauffeur, who was trying to speak to her, and rapped on Hudson’s window. She

spoke while wiping away manufactured tears. Her dark hair was whipping in the
wind, making her look perfectly delicate.
Moments later, Hudson opened his door and looked towards my car before
his eyes finally settled on Chloe. The legendary, mysterious and low–key heir to
the Thorne family- the man of countless actresses‘ desires- was finally within
reach.
Chloe lowered her head, clasping her perfectly manicured hands. Then, as if
making a momentous decision, she pulled out her phone to call the police. I saw
Hudson wave his hand, signaling her to put down her phone. He stepped out and
walked towards my car.

The thick layer of powder on my lips, plus my dark eyes caused by working
overtime for a week, had left my complexion ashen. Through the car window, I
close for the first time. It was August, yet he wore a silk scarf
around his neck, partially concealing a jagged scar that snaked from under the
scarf up to his left cheekbone. Even after extensive reconstructive surgery, that
part of the skin was noticeably uneven, showing how deep the wound used to be.
Chloe rushed over, her voice laced with concern.“My sister suddenly had a
terrible stomach ache. I was rushing her to the hospital, and I accidentally
confused the gas and brake pedals…”
“Anyway, it’s my
fault. I’ll
pay for all the repairs,” she continued, her voice
trembling slightly.

It seemed to have touched Hudson. His icy face softened. “It’s okay,” he said
calmly.“Take your sister to the hospital first. My driver will handle the rest.”
As Hudson turned to leave, Chloe nervously stepped in front of him,
offering him her business card.“Here. I won’t shirk responsibility.”
Hudson looked down at the white card. It listed Chloe as a partner in an
animal hospital and an adjunct professor at a local university. He scanned her
from head to toe, then pulled out his phone.“No need for that. I’ll just friend you
on WeChat.”
