"Forget it, I'll marry him!" The moment Margot Johanson said those words, she suddenly felt a sense of relief. She could hear her parents' voices full of smiles in her ears. "Gigi, we’re glad you’ve made up your mind. Your fiancé may be in a coma, but he’s quite handsome.  “Although he’s been out for years, what if he wakes up? After all, he’s the one set to inherit the family business..." Her parents, trying to persuade their own daughter to marry a comatose man, actually thought she was getting the better deal.  They seemed convinced that no one else in the world would be foolish enough to take on such a situation.  Margot smiled bitterly. "Don’t worry. Since I’ve made up my mind to marry, I won’t back out. I won’t let your precious Maisie take my place."

Chapter 1

“What are you saying? You’re our real daughter! Of course, your father and I can’t bear to part with Maisie…“Besides, you know how it is—both Charles and Joey like Maisie. Letting her marry into that wouldn’t have been appropriate.” “Now that the Stewarts are already preparing for the wedding, You should pack your things. In half a month, someone from their household will take you to Northwatch.” Fred and Martha Johanson brushed her off with a few casual words before hanging up the phone. As the screen dimmed to black, Margot Johanson couldn’t help but glance at the framed photograph on her desk. In the photo, her parents, her older brother, Charles Johanson, and her childhood friend, Joey Griffin surrounded her as she stood in the center. She was dressed in a princess gown and crowned with a tiara. Their faces radiated affection for each other. At that time, a saying had circulated widely in their social circle: “Who wouldn’t want to be Margot Johanson?” Everyone envie...

Chapter 2
When Margot opened her eyes again, night had already fallen. She glanced around the empty hospital room, a cold smile reaching her eyes. A nurse entered, holding her medical report. She briefly explained Margot’s condition and informed her to settle the bill and prepare for discharge the next day. As Margot flipped through her medical records, the phone on the bedside table buzzed incessantly. The messages were from Maisie. Maisie had sent dozens of photos, each one flaunting her happiness. In the images, Joey carried Maisie on his back, walking her home, while Charles, wearing an apron, cooked for her. The two men surrounded Maisie, their faces brimming with affection. Piled at their feet were heaps of extravagant gifts. [Gigi] Maisie wrote smugly. [Charles and Joey spoil me so much. I must be the happiest little girl in the world!] Margot glanced at the messages but didn’t reply to a single one. The next morning, after a night of rest, she completed her discha

Chapter 3
Over the weekend, Margot decided to hike up to Serene Church.She had heard that prayers made there almost always came true and decided to make one for Dominic, who was still in a coma.She had heard he was once a remarkable figure, a gifted individual, the pride of the Stewarts, but a car accident had left him in a vegetative state for five years. Now, as she was about to marry him, she thought, "In happiness and adversity we rise and fall together." She would do everything she could to help him wake up. Even if he never did, she would care for him for the rest of her life, with no one else by her side.She walked slowly, her devotion unwavering. She had not expected to run into some familiar faces.Charles and Joey had accompanied Maisie, their knees slightly scraped from the climb. All three looked equally stunned to see Margot there.Maisie’s eyes were red. She touched her cheeks and spoke with a choked voice, “Gigi! Charles and Joey heard the miracles of this church, so

Chapter 4
Margot couldn’t understand Joey’s intentions. He had just declared that Maisie was the most important person to him, yet now he was showing such jealousy about her actions. She was about to speak when Maisie suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. Joey and Charles rushed forward without a second thought, ready to help her up. Tears filled Maisie’s eyes as she refused their support. “You’re sore from the hike up here. Please don’t worry about me.”She then looked up at Margot. “Gigi, could you help me to a seat so I can rest for a while?”Before Margot could respond, Maisie walked over and leaned against her. Margot instinctively tried to push her away but lacked the strength, so she passively allowed Maisie to rest against her. Just as they passed a few seats, Maisie grabbed Margot’s arm. The once-soft, delicate expression on her face turned into one of challenge.“Do you think you can capture their attention with such petty tricks, Gigi? In your dreams!”Margot was

Chapter 5
Margot was finally sent to the hospital by a kind-hearted stranger. As it was her second injury, the doctor berated her, questioning how she had gotten hurt again and asking if she didn’t care about herself. She couldn’t bring herself to speak the truth—the wounds were a gift from the two most important men in her life.In the meantime, Maisie sent her a video.As soon as she opened it, Maisie’s voice, full of feigned sympathy, filled the room.“Gigi also got hurt. She’s being treated in the room next door. You guys should go see her. She must be so lonely all by herself.”Charles, who was cutting fruit for her, casually said, “You’re too kind, May. She’s done this to you, and now a little pain will teach her a lesson.”Joey handed her a cup of warm water. “And I can’t deal with her right now.”Such a convenient excuse.Margot smiled bitterly, tears welling in her eyes.After being discharged from the hospital, Margot locked herself in her room, refusing to leave. It wasn

Chapter 6
Amid the uproar, Margot quietly stood in the corner. She felt invisible as if the lively atmosphere around her had nothing to do with her at all. After the cake was cut, cheerful piano music played, and handsome men and beautiful women gathered to enter the dance floor. Maisie scanned the room and fixed her gaze on Margot. She walked over confidently, her face full of pride. "How does it feel to have your spotlight stolen at your own birthday party, Gigi? You must feel frustrated, right? “But there's nothing you can do, I suppose. Dad, Mom, Charles, and Joey all spoil me more than you. “So what if you're the biological daughter? You're still beneath me. Look at you, so helpless and pitiful," she taunted. Margot knew Maisie was deliberately provoking her, but her tears had long since dried up over the years. She simply looked at Maisie with indifference. Maisie continued for a while, but when she saw she wasn't getting any response, she stomped her foot and left. Aft

Chapter 7
The entire room fell silent at Margot’s words.All the color drained from Maisie’s face.Margot staggered to her feet. How could she have forgotten? After Maisie had intentionally framed her last time, fearing another attempt, she had secretly placed a micro camera in her earrings.Wiping the tears from her face, she quickly removed the earring with the camera and plugged it into the large screen.The video showed that when Maisie had turned her back, she had used the opportunity to hang the necklace on Margot’s gown.All of Maisie's mocking taunts were also exposed.The public's opinion in the hall flipped instantly, and everyone looked at Maisie with expressions of disgust and contempt.Margot, her hair a tangled mess, trembled as she picked up her phone and dialed 911, her brows set in determination."Hello? Police? I’d like to report someone framing me—"Maisie trembled violently and burst into loud sobs."I didn’t mean it! I just wanted to play a little joke on Gigi. W

Chapter 8
Margot lost consciousness before she knew if an ambulance had been called. She lay on the ground for half an hour before Joey discovered her and rushed her to the hospital. She finally regained consciousness after a day and a half only to find that her chest hurt terribly, as three of her ribs had been broken. She felt so weak that she couldn’t summon any strength to sit up, and just breathing caused her excruciating pain. Fred and Martha stayed by her bedside, their faces full of concern. Charles repeatedly asked the doctor if there was anything that could ease her suffering. Joey tightly held her hand, wiping the cold sweat that constantly formed on her forehead. After the accident, it seemed as though everyone’s attention had shifted back to Margot. But only she knew that their concern wasn’t solely for her wellbeing. “Margot, the doctor said the pain is temporary. Please bear with it, and you’ll start feeling better soon. May didn’t do it on purpose, so forgive her,

Chapter 9
After a seven-hour flight, Margot finally arrived in Northwatch. It was already late, but the estate perched on the hillside glowed brightly, its lights piercing through the night. As soon as she stepped out of the car, someone assisted her into a wheelchair and began pushing her toward the entrance. From a distance, she could already make out a group of people waiting by the door. A sudden wave of anxiety tightened her chest. Alfred, ever perceptive, leaned in and began pointing out the people at the door. "You can address everyone the way Mr. Dominic does, Miss Margot. The lady in the center is the matriarch, Madam Vivienne, to her left are Master Gerard, and Madam Odette, to her right are Mr. Dominic’s grandparents, Master Thomas and Madam Gertrude, and behind them are..." Margot hadn't anticipated meeting so many members of the Stewarts on her very first day. Steeling herself, she quickly regulated her breathing and adjusted her expression. By the time they reached th

Chapter 10
Margot lay in bed and soon drifted off to sleep. The next morning, she opened her eyes to find it was already ten o’clock. Alarmed, she hurriedly got up and began to freshen up. Vivienne, Gerard, and Odette were already awake in the living room, sipping tea and chatting with each other. As soon as they saw her, they instructed the kitchen staff to bring out breakfast and warmly greeted her. "Did you sleep well last night, Margot? Is there anything you'd like to eat?" "Take your time coming downstairs; we know you’ve had a tiring journey. Sleeping in is a good thing—there’s no rush." Their thoughtful concern, especially from relatives she’d only just met, left Margot feeling both flattered and a little overwhelmed. Sensing her unease, Vivienne cleverly sent her son and daughter-in-law off on errands to give Margot some breathing room. Then, she stayed behind, chatting casually while thoughtfully placing food on Margot's plate. After breakfast, Vivienne accompanied her
