After a pause, she continued, “Trust me, that guy is too snobbish and doesn't deserve your love. You should cut him out of your lives fast. He's only holding you back from your success, you get that? You've got a bright future. Don't let yourself get stuck in a rut. Stand up and move forward!"

Milly comforted Marlowe, trying to convince her to move on.

Marlowe sighed, feeling the weight of her decision. Letting go wasn't easy after five years of being in love.

She and Alvin had been together since college, their innocence making everything about the future seem hopeful. They truly believed they had bright futures ahead of them.

After graduation, they moved to Eleymond to carve out their careers in the entertainment industry.

But reality was full of hurdles.

Alvin always dreamed of making it big in music, but his songs never caught on. Marlowe, on the other hand, attended every audition she could. While many directors were impressed with her, her lack of connections made her an easy target for exploitation.

After she stood her ground, her only option was to accept minor roles.

Back then, she and Alvin could only afford a run-down basement apartment in Eleymond, yet Marlowe never thought about quitting.

That changed three months ago when she discovered Alvin was cheating on her.

Their five-year relationship ended abruptly.

Alvin's new girlfriend was a real estate tycoon's daughter. When confronted, Alvin coldly dismissed Marlowe, mocking, "So what? You're broke. You only have a basement to offer. Why would I stay with you?"

At that moment, Marlowe was speechless.

Following their split, news of Alvin's engagement spread quickly online, and he soon married into the wealthy family.

Marlowe then returned to the island.

Deep down, she knew Alvin wasn't worth her sorrow, yet it still hurt to think she had wasted her best years on him.

Reading the messages from Milly, Marlowe took a deep breath and replied, “Okay, I'll think about it."

Meanwhile, Mitchel followed the direction Marlowe had pointed. He realized he had already reached the beach.

The shore was bustling with people. Many islanders were watching the cruise ships.

Mitchel made his way through the crowd. As soon as the members of the Fredrick and Chadwick families saw him, they quickly moved forward to clear a path for him. Then, they surrounded him to prevent any further accidents.
