"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."

She felt particularly excited.She dragged Anya into the garden for a snowball fight, teasing the little girl until she pouted and vented her frustration at Dominic who stood by watching."It's all your fault! Since Margot’s been with you so much, she’s turned just like you! She’s not the same gentle and loving person she used to be. It's all because of you!"Anya squished a snowball and threw it at him. He initially tried to dodge, but when he saw Margot laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, he just stood there and let it hit him.Once Anya had gotten her fill of venting and ran into the living room, Dominic walked helplessly over to Margot. He gently placed her freezing red hands onto his chest to warm them.Margot coughed a few times and looked at him seriously."Anya was right. It's
Once the news of the severed ties between the Stewarts and Johansons spread, it shocked the entire upper-crust society. After all, not long ago, the two families had just completed an alliance through marriage.Everyone was eager to know what had happened to make the recently awakened Dominic so furious. Rumors quickly spread about the Johansons mistreating their biological daughter after adopting another girl. Dominic, in his protective nature toward Margot, allegedly lashed out at his in-laws for this reason. It was common in the circle to see families favoring sons over daughters, but hearing about a family being cruel to their biological daughter in favor of an adopted one was unprecedented. The new revelation stirred much interest, and it quickly became the talk of the town.Additionally, the scandal surrounding a particular birthday party a few months earlier and the car accident involving Margot were linked to rumors of deliberate malice, among other gossip. Enthus
This time, before Margot could finish speaking, Dominic interrupted her. "Margot, you are my wife now. Your affairs are my affairs, and the family’s affairs. Grandma is speaking up for the Stewarts. You don’t need to apologize. As for severing ties with the Johansons, it was a decision Grandma and Dad made. “Those business partnerships were only maintained because of the marriage arrangement. If they can’t even treat their own daughter well, how could they be trusted in business? “Ending the cooperation early was simply to eliminate potential risks and minimize losses. Don’t blame yourself for everything, alright?" At his explanation, Margot felt a little better and stopped crying. Dominic took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on her face. His touch was incredibly tender. Seeing the concern in his eyes, Margot softened."We’ve only known each other for a month. Is it because you were so certain I’ll marry you that you’re being so kind to me?" Dominic’s hand f
Only when he saw the true faces of the Johansons did Dominic finally understand what Margot had suffered. He took her hand, moved her behind him, and met their angry gazes."Margot is now part of the Stewarts. From now on, she has no relationship with the Johansons."Seeing the closeness between the two, the Johansons immediately deduced that he must be Dominic. To be chastised by someone younger in public made Fred and Martha resentful. However, Vivienne’s presence forced them to put aside their seniority and instead try to be reasonable."Even if she changed her surname, she still has the blood of the Johansons coursing through her! We are justified in disciplining her."Dominic’s gaze darkened, and just as he was about to argue back, Margot gently stopped him with a shake of her head. She then stepped forward and looked at her family whose faces had long since become unrecognizable."My name was given to me by my grandfather. The marriage with the Stewarts was arranged
After half a month of effort, the wedding had concluded smoothly, and Vivienne finally felt a significant burden lifted from her heart. On the way home, she was resting with her eyes closed when a commotion outside disturbed her. Frowning, she glanced out the window just as the housekeeper approached and explained the situation in detail. "Madam, about half an hour ago, a group of people showed up outside the estate claiming to be Mrs. Margot’s family. They’ve been demanding to see you ever since." The Johansons? Vivienne was immediately reminded of everything Dominic had told her about them. The cheerful expression she had worn moments ago vanished, replaced by a frosty demeanor. Gerard and Odette who were in the back seat, also wore displeased expressions as they accompanied Vivienne out of the car. From a distance, Fred and Martha spotted Vivienne. They had not seen her in years. Their previously arrogant posture softened considerably. When they approached, they
At noon, the private wedding ceremony officially began. Although reporters were forbidden from taking photos, a few tabloids had received insider tips and managed to snap pictures outside the hotel, publishing them immediately. #Dominic Stewart Awakes and Marries the Heiress of the Johanson Corporation Today# Far away in Veridian City, Charles saw the trending news as soon as he woke up. He froze in shock. Dominic had awoken from his coma? Why hadn’t Margot told them? Their parents had mentioned that her wedding would take place in two weeks, so why was it already making headlines today? And if the wedding was indeed happening that day, why hadn’t the Johansons received invitations to attend? Baffled and frustrated, Charles tried calling Margot to get answers but when he dialed her number, he realized she had blocked him. His surprise quickly turned to anger. Yet, with her miles away, there was little he could do except contact Joey, who had just flown to Northwatch.
On the way back, the car remained enveloped in silence. Dominic said nothing, he was fixed on messaging Alfred to finalize the details of the next day’s wedding schedule. After spending a month together, Margot understood his reserved nature. He never pried into her private life out of respect. In the past, she had chosen silence, finding her experiences too painful and humiliating to share. But now, watching him diligently working on their wedding preparations, she felt an unexpected shift. Some things, she realized, he had the right to know. After dinner, when they had both rested, Margot sought him out and recounted her past. Perhaps because she had truly let go, her voice remained steady, devoid of emotion, as if she were narrating someone else’s story. Yet, hearing her recount painful memories, Dominic’s heart ached deeply. He clasped her hand tightly, the warmth of his palm seeping into her skin. “I know you’ve moved on,” he said softly, his voice filled with si
Joey's face turned a deep shade of blue at Margot’s words."Mr. and Mrs. Johanson are your parents, Charles is your brother, and Maisie is your sister. “We’ve known each other for over twenty years. How can you say something like that, Gigi?"Margot let out a soft laugh, a trace of amusement flashing in her eyes."Really? Are Maisie’s parents and brother the ones you’re referring to? Didn’t she grow up with you?"Joey caught the sarcasm in her words. He recalled everything that had happened over the past few years, and a wave of guilt washed over him. He hurriedly tried to explain."Gigi, why do you have to hold this against May? Yes, we favored her, but it was all because she agreed to marry into the Stewart family for you. “We just wanted to make it up to her. Think about it, before she came, we treated you the same way, didn’t we?"Whenever Maisie was mentioned, it always came back to the same excuse. Margot was tired of hearing it. She looked at Joey calmly."After
"May, give me one more day. We’ll sort everything out after I bring Margot back to Veridian City," Joey said, his tone earnest.Maisie’s face slowly turned pale. She bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with malice.Charles continued to comfort her, but she had made up her mind. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the airport exit. "Charles, let's go to our parents and nullify the adoption agreement, then we’ll get married!"Charles was stunned for a moment as he heard the determination in her voice. But after the shock, joy quickly filled him, and he eagerly led her back home.Fred and Martha were delighted when they found out and immediately went to take care of the paperwork. After Charles and Maisie had their marriage registered, Maisie returned home as Fred and Martha’s daughter-in-law. The couple were overjoyed and even wanted to share the news with Margot.When they called Margot to share the news, her reaction was surprisingly calm. She simply hummed in respon
“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...
