Chapter 1 Humiliation at the Hotel Entrance

Because a construction crane had swung into the subway line, traffic across the city had been completely locked down, so Evelyne and I had no choice but to head to the venue separately.When I arrived at the hotel, I was just about to get out of the car and go inside when I looked up and saw Phoebe walking in arm in arm with Julian. Both of them looked radiant with happiness.My hand froze on the car door. For a moment, I did not step out.I never would have imagined that Phoebe and I would end up getting married on the same day.Ever since I decided to cut ties with her completely, I hadn't wanted to see her again. Especially not now, when I was about to get married myself. I was about to get married myself, and the last thing I wanted was to ruin the day by running into someone as unlucky as her."Cassian! I'm over here!"A cute girl came running over from a distance and yanked open my limo door before I could react. "Cassian, why won't you come out?"Annie's voice rang ou

Chapter 2 The Bouquet Meant for Another Bride

The bouquet in my hands had been custom-made in Gallia by a master floral designer Evelyne personally hired. It was worth a fortune. Several hollowed gold roses were woven among the flowers, and under the sunlight, the intricate craftsmanship and extravagant arrangement shimmered brilliantly.When Phoebe first heard people mention the mistaken quotation, a flicker of guilt crossed her face. But the moment she noticed the bouquet in my hands, that guilt disappeared completely.She sneered. "Cassian, I'm never going to marry you. If you hand me that bouquet, I'll count it as you attending our wedding. Besides, you loved me so much. You wouldn't want to embarrass me today, would you?"I stared at Phoebe blankly, unable to understand how the woman who used to go out of her way to help others had turned into this.I let out a quiet sigh and was just about to speak when Annie suddenly rushed out from behind me and shoved Julian hard. "You're a bad guy! Why are you trying to steal my si

Chapter 3 Forced Resignation

Everyone froze.For a moment, I thought Phoebe was finally going to let Annie go.Instead, she suddenly burst into laughter. "Evelyne Grey's sister? Don't tell me you're also about to claim you came dressed as a groom because you're marrying Evelyne today?"I nodded. "Now that you know, let Annie go—argh!"Before I could finish my words, Phoebe slapped me viciously across the face. Gritting her teeth, she snapped, "Even now, you're still refusing to come to your senses. Looks like I really do need to teach you a lesson."She raised her hand again, preparing to slap me a second time, but Julian stopped her. "Enough, Phoebe. Today's our wedding day. Don't waste time on trash like him."Then, his tone shifted. "Actually, this is the perfect opportunity. Make Cassian write a resignation letter so he won't show up at the company later and ruin our mood again."Although Phoebe had publicly claimed she was the one who salvaged the Lower Hollow project, the company executives all knew t

Chapter 4 Dragged Through the Dirt

Phoebe froze.She knew perfectly well that none of those luxury watches had come from her.Then, all at once, rage exploded across her face. She lifted her foot and kicked me hard in the chest.The sharp pain nearly made me black out. All I could hear was Phoebe's furious voice ringing in my ears. "So it wasn't enough for you to sleep your way around with other women, you even accepted gifts from them too? Cassian, you're absolutely shameless. You disgust me!"Even as she said those words, her eyes remained greedily fixed on my wrists. Unable to hold herself back any longer, she yanked up the sleeve on my other arm as well.The moment she saw the collection of limited-edition watches underneath, her eyes lit up completely.Julian let out a cold laugh. "Phoebe, these watches look exactly like the ones I lost."I looked up at him. I could hardly believe those words had come out of his mouth.Every single one of those watches had been specially collected for me by Evelyne after

Chapter 5 Evelyne's Wrath

Phoebe's entire body stiffened when she heard the voice, and she immediately signaled for someone to cover my mouth and drag me away.Then she hurried forward with a flattering smile plastered on her face. "Ms. Grey, what a coincidence that we're holding our weddings at the same hotel today. What an honor. I'm Phoebe Marsh from AstraNova Corp., and I'm the one in charge of your company's Lower Hollow project."At the mention of the Lower Hollow project, Evelyne gave Phoebe another glance.After all, she knew perfectly well that I had been the one overseeing that project. Still, she didn't think too deeply about it and simply assumed Phoebe was trying to use the project to cozy up to her.Phoebe held out her hand awkwardly for several seconds without getting any response. In the end, she could only withdraw it with an embarrassed laugh. "My ex-boyfriend came here trying to ruin the wedding. I'm dealing with him right now. I'll head back in immediately and definitely won't delay

Chapter 6 No One Touch Her Husband

Quick-thinking Annie had somehow managed to escape and find Evelyne.The moment Julian saw Evelyne return, he shot to his feet in delight.He was too excited—and far too confident—to notice that the little girl whose hand Evelyne was holding was the same child he had humiliated moments ago. "Ms. Grey, I knew you'd come back."But the disgust in his eyes nearly overflowed when he saw Annie. "What are you still doing here? Ms. Grey, let me tell you, this kid is probably my wife's ex-boyfriend's b*stard child. His private life is a complete mess. Unlike me, I was raised properly."My parents were strict when I was growing up. I had to be home by ten every night. Phoebe is my first love, and even now, we've only ever held hands. My mother said anything more intimate had to wait until after marriage."As he spoke, he shot Evelyne a flirtatious look, his eyes full of false charm.But Evelyne only looked increasingly impatient. Her voice was low and unreadable, making it impossible to

Chapter 7 The Heir She Threw Away

Despite being so young, Annie remembered everything clearly. In just a few sentences, she explained everything that had happened.The more Evelyne listened, the colder and more terrifying her expression became.She held my hand tightly, her voice sounding both like a promise and an attempt to comfort me. "Cassian, don't be afraid. I'll make them pay for this. But first, I'm taking you to the hospital. Hands this beautiful can't be left with scars."As she spoke, she lifted her chin slightly. The towering bodyguards immediately grabbed Phoebe and Julian.Just as Evelyne and I were about to leave, Phoebe suddenly shouted, "Ms. Grey, you've been deceived by this man! He's nothing but a shameless slut who doesn't deserve you. "You don't know this, but I'm Cassian's ex-girlfriend. I broke up with him because he was so desperate for money that he slept with the old men and women in your company just to secure contracts—and not just one of them either!"The more Phoebe spoke, the more

Chapter 8 No Mercy Left Behind

I smiled too.Thankfully, on the day I went to apologize to the client, I happened to run into Evelyne. Otherwise, things really would have gone exactly the way Phoebe wanted, and I would have been left completely at other people's mercy.After fooling around for a bit, Evelyne finally turned serious and asked how I wanted to deal with Phoebe and Julian."Didn't you already call the police? Let the law handle them however it sees fit."But Evelyne looked a little unhappy, jealousy practically dripping from her tone. "You don't still have feelings for her, do you? You can't bear to hurt her?"She was practically drowning in jealousy.I wrapped my arms around Evelyne and kissed her once. Her face instantly turned red, and her mood visibly improved."Fine. Even if you can't bear to let her suffer, I'll take it. We've been apart for so many years, after all. But you're my husband now, so from now on, you can only love me wholeheartedly."I leaned over and kissed her again with an e
