My college dormmate, who spread nasty rumors about me, sends me an e-invitation. "I'm marrying the richest man in the country and will soon be a trophy wife—I'll be leagues above you. Seeing as we were once dormmates, I'll begrudgingly allow you to be my bridesmaid. Don't miss this chance!" I frown. What is wrong with Jasmine Teach? I'm the country's richest person. When did a man overtake me? I want to block her number and delete the conversation, but I check the e-invitation to be sure. I'm stunned when I see the photo of her husband-to-be. Isn't that Harold Jackson, my husband? He's supposed to be on a business trip. My lips curve in a cold smile, and I type a response while gnashing my teeth. "I'd be honored to be your bridesmaid. I'll prepare a huge surprise for you, too."
View MoreHarold lowered his head, with guilt written all over his face as he explained, "I'm sorry. Back in college, I was just an intern at the company. I didn't have the power to sponsor anyone."Jasmine broke down, sobbing uncontrollably."You were the one who approached me first! You said you were my benefactor, but you were lying to me all along!"She crawled over to me, clutching my feet desperately. "Regina, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you! You were my true savior during college. I'm so sorry, I truly am…"Hearing the police sirens blaring outside, I reached down and took off the watch from Harold's left wrist."I designed this myself. You don't deserve to wear it. You two can drop the act. I won't go soft. Explain everything to the police. And trust me, the top-tier lawyers I've hired won't let me down."Without sparing them another glance, I walked out and got into the car to head to the hospital for a full check-up.Since Harold mentioned he'd been drugging my milk for a long
Curious, I looked up. Through the shattered window, I saw my steward, Jonathan Gardner, frantically climbing inside."Ms. Smith, I'm so sorry. We got here late."With the help of Jonathan and my security team, I escaped the burning room by helicopter.By the time I changed clothes and regained my composure, Harold, Jasmine, and their group had all been captured and thrown before me.Jasmine glared at the scene in front of her, disbelief and resentment in her eyes."Regina, what's going on? Weren't you here alone?"Leaning back in a leather chair, I gave them a cold, mocking look."What's wrong? Didn't expect me to have a backup plan?"She still couldn't believe I had escaped the fire, let alone turned the tables on them.Jonathan, noticing the way she was staring at me, frowned and stepped forward. With a swift kick, he sent her stumbling to the ground at my feet.Jasmine yelped in pain and looked at Harold with pleading eyes. "Darling, what do we do? Say something!" Howev
Harold smirked and grabbed my face with his hand."Regina, if you die right now, wouldn't all your assets automatically go to me, your loving husband?"I struggled and shoved him away."Harold, there are so many people here. Are you really going to do something like that in front of them?He scoffed and sneered. "They're all my people. You can't escape. Soon, I'll be the real billionaire!"His excitement grew as he called for the bodyguards to tie me up and lock me in a hotel room.It was only then that Jasmine realized that I was Harold's wife and she was the mistress instead.However, Harold assured her that as long as I was dead, he would marry her immediately. And once their child was born, they could smoothly register the baby as his legal heir.With that promise, Jasmine regained her arrogance and stood over me smugly."Regina, so you really were the richest person. It doesn't matter now. Once you're dead, I'll be taking your place. And you're? You're nothing but a stepp
I ran my fingers through my messy hair and stared straight at Harold."Today, I finally understand the true meaning of 'a dog flaunting its master's power'."The moment he saw my face, his eyes widened in shock. Panic overtook him as he shoved Jasmine aside.He hadn't expected me to show up here, disheveled and beaten, right in the middle of his wedding with his mistress.Thrown off balance by his sudden push, Jasmine fell to the ground. Her intricate wedding dress and high heels made it impossible for her to stand up right away.She struggled a few times but eventually gave up, sitting there pitifully with tears in her eyes, looking up at Harold."Darling, what are you doing? I'm carrying your child! How could you be so cruel, pushing me just for some shameless mistress?"She hadn't noticed the fear flashing across his face and kept whining, but his expression turned cold as he snapped at her."Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense here!"I raised an eyebrow and let out a cold laug
Jasmine's tone instantly changed as she spoke sweetly into the phone."Don't worry, darling. No one will make things hard for you today. I'll lead the bridesmaids to welcome you at the hotel entrance ahead of time. Your friends will be jealous of you instead!"Harold's voice on the phone was cold and commanding, nothing like the gentle, submissive tone he used with me.I bit down on the sock in my mouth, struggling to make any noise.Upon seeing this, Jasmine smirked and continued."Darling, the mistress you keep outside tried to ruin our wedding. Would you be mad at me if I gave her a beating?"Harold's indifferent voice came through the speaker, "Do whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy. You're the only one I love. I've never kept another woman. It's obviously just her making up lies."If she's really pissing you off, just beat her to death. With my protection, you have nothing to be afraid of."Jasmine shot me a mocking look and replied, "Darling, you're the best.
Upon hearing my confusion, Jasmine sneered."These are my husband's bodyguards. Who do you think you are? Why would they recognize you?" She turned to them and ordered, "Take her down! Strip this skank!"I wasn't strong enough to fight them off. In less than a minute, they had me pinned to the ground.One of the bodyguards snatched my phone and respectfully handed it to Jasmine. With a single press of the side button, the screen lit up. Her friends gasped when they saw my phone's wallpaper."Jas, why does this shameless woman's man look so much like your husband?""That's obviously AI-generated. No way Mr. Harold Jackson would ever be involved with this tramp."Furious, Jasmine threw my phone to the ground."Regina, you shameless woman! Are you obsessed with my husband after finding out that he's the richest man? How dare you use AI to generate intimate photos of my husband!"With her words, the crowd's disgust turned toward me. Some even spat at me.I looked at Jasmine with d
As soon as I sent the message, a logistics information popped up. It was a package from my husband—some local wine from his business trip.Also, the sender's address was the same as the hotel where Jasmine Teach was hosting her wedding banquet.Just last night, my husband was on the phone, sweet-talking me."Babe, it's only been three days, but I miss you so much. The food at the hotel is terrible. I don't like it at all. Nothing beats the meals you make for me at home."Ugh, this trip is way too long. Two whole weeks! I won't be around to take care of you, so promise me you'll take care of yourself, okay? Don't make me worry."Looking at the groom in the photo, I tried to convince myself that he just looked like my husband. I could hardly believe that my husband would go behind my back to marry the woman who bullied me back in college.However, the watch on his left wrist said otherwise.I had designed that watch myself, with our names engraved on the dial. There was only one i
