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, snatched my Hermès bag, and destroyed it with scissors, all the while mocking me for carrying such a convincing counterfeit.

Guests who had begun to arrive in the villa started pulling out their phones to capture the fight.

Haley worried that her actions would damage her image as Mrs. Baumer. So, she ordered her lackeys to drag me into the restroom.

Ignoring my screams, they shoved my head into the toilet bowl.

The stench and the suffocating feeling almost killed me. In that desperate moment, I summoned all my strength to shove Haley away and bolted out of the restroom. I raced toward the exit of the villa.

Haley, whom I had knocked to the ground, screamed, "Hurry! Grab that woman and bring her back!"

My clothes were shredded into rags, and I was a total mess, but my car was parked right outside the villa. I would be safe if I could just get to it.

I clung to that hope as I ran toward the car. Just as I reached the door, they caught me.

They slapped me in the face once more.

"How dare you run away? Oh, do you have a car? Let's see who you're sleeping with to afford that car!"

"Well, no wonder you're so slutty. Turns out you're just a whore who sleeps with old men for money! Girls, smash her car!"

"Whoa! Is this a top-tier BMW? Emma, looks like your body is worth quite a lot. No wonder you could show up to Haley's wedding to make a scene. Guess what? We'll ruin your career!"

They grabbed some stones and began to cut me on the skin. Soon, my body was filled with bloodied scrapes as I screamed in pain.

But my agony did not satisfy them. They picked up some huge stones and flung them at my car, shattering the windows. They rummaged through my belongings inside the car while cursing loudly.

"This slut isn't even using cheap stuff. Her silk scarf is a limited edition. Looks like her sugar daddy is rich!"

"And all these sexy nightgowns in the trunk? She must have used them to seduce some old bugger! Let's burn them all!"

"Wow! Let's burn it down! This is so satisfying!"

They set fire to my belongings. The flames leaped toward me as I lay on the ground, bloodied and gasping for air.

Haley, watching this, seemed utterly pleased.

She smiled at her lackeys and said, "You guys are the best! Don't worry! Once I marry Joel, I'll introduce you to some of the managers from Novalux Group! You'll all get to feel what it's like to have a successful boyfriend!"

The lackeys cheered and rushed over to thank Haley. They nearly bowed at her feet.

Just then, the groom finally arrived.

Joel stepped out of the car. He saw the flames and frowned as he walked over. "What's going on? Why is there a fire?"

Haley immediately rushed to him and said, "Don't worry, darling. She's just a vain, slutty woman trying to ruin our wedding. I've already taught her a lesson."

"Who's trying to ruin our wedding?" Joel's face darkened as he wrapped his arm around Haley and coldly huffed. "I'll need to take a look at the woman who has the guts to do so."

He marched straight toward me, grabbed my hair, and yanked me up.

My bloodied face made me almost unrecognizable, and Joel's eyes briefly flashed with disgust. Just as he was about to throw me aside, he suddenly froze.

Staring at me in shock, he stammered, "Mrs. Siegel? Why… Why are you here?"

    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 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.
