The most popular girl from my high school is getting married. She invites everyone in our class to the wedding. I want to act like I don't see the message, but she deliberately tags me in the group chat. "You kept pretending to be a rich girl like me in high school, but I don't hold it against you. In fact, I'll allow you to attend my wedding tomorrow to see what the rich life is like." The other classmates speak up. "You're so generous, Haley. It's no wonder you can marry someone from the Baumer family. I can't believe you can even forgive someone as materialistic as Emma!" "Does someone like Emma Larkin even deserve to attend Haley's wedding? She's so full of herself." As the insults become worse, Haley Stockwell steps forward to keep the peace. "Come on, let's put this behind us. I'm not bothered by these things since it's been so long. Anyway, let's not bear a grudge against Emma when she's already so poor and ugly." Everyone in the group chat starts singing her praises and calling her kind and innocent. I sneer. Haley is the one who kept pretending to be rich—I'm the true heiress from an affluent family, yet she made me out to be a liar. She turned me into the target of everyone's insults. I check the digital wedding invitation to see that the venue is my villa. The groom looks familiar—isn't he my husband's driver? I smile at the thought of what's going to happen. I reply, "Sure! I have to attend your wedding!"

"Oh my god, is Ms. Vain—Emma Larkin—coming to the wedding tomorrow? For real?""Remember how she lied about her dad making a donation for a new academic building, and how she claimed to be the daughter of a tycoon? She tried to copy Haley Stockwell! How does she even have the nerve to show up?""True! Haley was too kind to call her out back then. If it were me, I would've made her beg for forgiveness and transfer schools!"…Our class group chat erupted into chaos once my attendance at Haley's wedding was confirmed.They pointed fingers at me, just like they did in high school, accusing me of being a poor girl who faked my status. In their eyes, Haley was the real deal.In the past, I had kept a low profile and spent most of my time on my studies. I did not dress up or make friends, and I looked just like a nerd.In contrast, Haley was youthful and eye-catching. She was familiar with the high society lifestyle, which misled everyone into thinking she was the daughter of a tycoon...

Even if Haley is a total b***h, i don't support 'men hitting women', in any circumstances. I don't like how Joel was beating up his 'wife to be', no matter how bad she is—a man shouldn't raise his hand on a woman. same goes for Thomas, he shouldn't have kicked Haley... just hand her to the police...

Chapter 2
Never had I thought Haley would lay a hand on me!Caught off guard, I stumbled and fell. My cheek was burning red and swollen. I was utterly humiliated."How dare you hit me?" I growled."What's to stop me? Back in school, you impersonated me, saying you were the rich daughter of a tycoon. Now, you're spreading rumors that my husband doesn't own this villa! You're asking for trouble!"Haley was seething with rage. Her face was twisted as she stormed up to me. Gritting her teeth, she threatened me, "Do you have any idea who my husband is? He's Joel Baumer, the CEO of Novalux Group! What makes you think you have the right to question him?"At her words, a few of her lackeys sneered at me with disdain. "Did you hear that? Haley's husband is Joel Baumer, the CEO of Novalux Group! That company is worth billions! Only a rich girl like Haley could marry into such a powerful family—not some pathetic liar like you, Emma!""Emma, you shameless fibber! You impersonated Haley in school, and

Chapter 3
As soon as the words left my mouth, everyone looked at me with even more disdain. Some even spat at me.Fury rose within me. Ignoring the blood dripping down my face, I gritted my teeth and glared at the butler while shouting, "I don't care who paid you to spread these lies, but this villa belongs to the Siegel family! My husband, Thomas Siegel, is the rightful owner!"How dare you show up uninvited to throw a wedding and then lay your hands on me? If my husband finds out, you won't get away with this!"As I shouted in anger, Haley burst into laughter. Her voice cut through the air."Hahaha! You say you're Thomas Siegel's wife? Who is that man? I've never heard of him. He's probably some poor beggar. Of course, a lowly woman like you only deserves to be with a beggar..."You're causing a scene at my wedding and ruining my mood. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn. Girls, get her!"At her command, her lackeys rushed at me like animals. They tore at my clothes, snatch

Chapter 4
Everyone who had been waiting for Joel to put me in my place and stand up for Haley was left stunned by his words. Confusion spread across their faces.Haley, especially, was in utter disbelief. She stormed forward and demanded, "What are you talking about, Joel? Who's 'Mrs. Siegel'? What do you mean by that?"Joel's face had turned pale, and the hand that had been yanking my hair immediately shifted to a supportive grip. In a trembling voice, he stammered, "Mrs. Siegel… I—I didn't know…"While pulling his coat tightly to cover myself, I looked up at him. My eyes were icy and my voice was hoarse. "I never expected my husband's driver to act so audaciously!"Joel froze. His body went stiff. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Haley, who pushed him aside and screeched, "Emma Larkin, you bitch! Haven't you had enough? How dare you talk to my husband like that? I'm warning you, if you spout any more nonsense, I'll—"Before Haley could finish, Joel slapped her hard across t

Chapter 5
Haley stormed over to Thomas and pointed at me while yelling, "Mr. Siegel, look at this wretched woman! It's bad enough she came here to ruin my wedding, but she's pretending to be your wife. How despicable and shameless can she be?"Thomas was here today as a guest of Joel, who had invited him to the wedding. Joel might be just a driver, but he had served Thomas for over a decade.Thomas looked in the direction of Haley's finger to check out the woman who was accused of impersonating his wife.The moment his eyes landed on me, his expression froze.He couldn't believe the bloodied and battered figure before him was the same poised, elegant woman he knew as his wife."Is she that woman you just called shameless?"His voice trembled. That was a clear sign that he had recognized me.Truthfully, I didn't want Thomas to see me in such a miserable state, which is why I had kept my head down and avoided his gaze.But I underestimated the depth of his feelings for me. Despite my dishe

Chapter 6
When I arrived at the hospital, I was rushed straight into the emergency room.Thomas immediately contacted the city's top dermatologist to consult on my injuries. He stayed by my side the entire time.We had dated for three years. Then, he proposed to me right after graduation. In our four years of marriage, he treated me like a child, supported my career, and showed me the utmost love and care.Now, seeing the state I was in, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he looked as though he might cry. I couldn't bear to see him like that, so I tried to comfort him, "It's okay, honey. I just got into a fight with a few wretched women. A few days of rest, and I'll—" I broke off, coughing uncontrollably.No matter how hard I tried to downplay the situation, my suffering revealed the truth.Thomas clenched his jaw. His voice was cold and filled with fury. "Anyone who hurts my woman is asking for trouble."The doctors soon performed a thorough checkup on me. Other than some inflammation in

Chapter 7
I spent a week recovering in the hospital.Joel tried to visit me several times, but Thomas chased him away every single time.On the day I was discharged, Joel waited at the hospital entrance. He couldn't hold back when he saw me and dropped to his knees. He begged for mercy, "Mr. Siegel, I'm begging you to forgive me this once. Whatever punishment you want, just say the word! If you're still angry, let Mrs. Siegel hit me herself—anything! Just please… Don't treat me like this…"I knew Joel had worked for Thomas as a driver for years. He was always loyal and faultless. Thomas had even spoken highly of him many times.Unfortunately, his judgment failed him because he chose a woman like Haley.Thomas looked at him without any emotion."Joel, I spared you considering your years of service. Don't push your luck. Get out of my sight and never appear in front of me again."With that, Thomas carried me straight to the car.From the rearview mirror, I could see Joel still kneeling o

Chapter 8
Haley was stunned. She screamed and shouted behind me, "You're extorting me! Seven million dollars for just a few outfits? You can't bully me just because you're Thomas Siegel's wife. I won't let this slide—"I had no interest in listening to her nonsense. I got into my car and left without another word.That evening, however, a video of the incident went viral online.Haley had conveniently edited out the part where I said she hit me. The footage only showed her accusing Thomas of assault and me threatening her to repay the debt.She followed up with another video, where she played the victim. "I can't take this anymore. The powerful are terrifying. With just one word, they can crush the lives of ordinary people like me… Thomas Siegel's wife has been trying to ruin my life, all because he looked my way that one time!"What am I supposed to do? Please, someone help me…" Her story was riddled with contradictions and full of plotholes.Still, the mention of the Siegel family in h
