The day of my wedding photoshoot, my family's adoptive daughter tugs my veil off and asks loudly, "Aren't you our family's adoptive daughter? What are you doing here? Today's the day Ian and I are supposed to have our wedding photoshoot. Aren't you going to disgrace Ford Group by being here?" In the past, I would've run away in tears. Unfortunately for her, I'd been reborn. I slapped Aspen Miller and retorted, "What right do you have to speak to me? Who do you think you are, having a wedding photoshoot with Adrian? Are you worthy of being associated with Ford Group?"

For someone who claims to be my adoptive sister, you don't even know this basic fact, which just proves my parents never really cared for you. "By the way, the personal assets my parents left me are worth many times more than Adrian's inheritance. Why else do you think he doesn't dare lay a hand on me?""Enough!" Adrian glared at Aspen with bloodshot eyes. "Haven't you caused enough trouble? Get out of here!"Aspen stared at him in disbelief. "I'm carrying your child, and you're taking her side? What's there to be proud of? If she hadn't returned to steal everything, it would all be mine!"Adrian pushed her away and showed her the original photo I had sent him. "My child? Who knows whose child it really is! Just get out of here and stay away!"After causing such a scene on my property, there was no way I would let them leave so easily. Just then, poli
When I clicked on the new trending tag, I was greeted with surveillance footage from Adrian's room. Though the video was censored, the audio was crystal clear—their passionate moments and Aspen's exaggerated moans grated on the ears.Aspen's voice dripped with honey as she said, "Ian, make me your wife. Let me be the next Mrs. Ford of Ford Group…"Adrian's voice was deep and impatient. "Not yet, Penny. First, I need to marry Alice and get control of her inheritance… Then, I'll find a way to drive her out and marry you. That Alice is such a fool, actually believing I love her…"The ten-minute video was undeniable proof, and what it implied was crystal clear. Those who had attacked me yesterday suddenly changed sides, and the comments section flooded with rage against them."What a plot twist… These two are the real disgusting ones!""She's the actual homewrecker! And they cyberbullied the real victim!""Let's boycott Ford Group! Never buying their products again!""Poor girl. She
I took a few screenshots and sent them to Mr. Ford with the message, "Mr. Ford, what do you think of your future daughter-in-law's clever tactics?"His response was immediate, "Don't let it get to you, Ally. I've already got people handling it."I replied with a simple "okay" emoji before clicking on another trending topic. #AdrianFordDumpsAdoptedLoweFamilyDaughterForHisTrueLove.The comments about Aspen in this thread were completely opposite to her real personality, showing an entirely different perspective."This young lady is so beautiful and sweet! She's exactly what a proper lady should be! A million times better than that nasty woman!""Mr. Ford has excellent taste. What a perfect match!" "That horrible woman deserved to be dumped! Poor Aspen!"…I felt nauseated reading through the comments. Aspen really knew how to play her part. She had stolen my fiancé but somehow managed to paint herself as the victim, winning everyone's sympathy in the process.Just as I was ab
Listening to those words left me completely numb. Honestly, I couldn't care less about this arranged marriage anymore. Back then, I had genuinely believed Adrian had feelings for me.After packing my belongings, I remembered something and quietly slipped into Adrian's room to retrieve the mini camera I had hidden near his bedside. I had placed it there in my previous life, hoping to capture his proposal to me, but fate had other plans.Clutching the camera tightly, I walked out of the mansion with my suitcase. However, I ran straight into Adrian, with Aspen standing beside him. I tried to brush past without acknowledging either of them, but Aspen started crying dramatically. To any clueless onlooker, it would seem like I had just bullied her.Through her sniffling, she whined, "Alice, you're always pretending to be so kind… Why not keep up the act now?"You knew Adrian and I were truly in love, yet you still tried to force him into this arrangement… You're heartless."I stopped
On the way back to the Ford estate, Mr. Ford kept glancing at me. His lips kept parting as if he was about to speak, but then he closed them again. He seemed unsure of what to say. Even so, I could guess what was on his mind—it was likely guilt.Adrian's actions didn't reflect poorly on Mr. Ford. Ever since my parents passed away in an accident, he had brought me into the Ford family and treated me like his own daughter. I never doubted his kindness.Trying to break the slightly awkward silence in the car, I spoke up. "Mr. Ford, there's no need to feel guilty. You raised me, and I'm truly grateful for that. Even if I can't be your daughter-in-law, I can still be your goddaughter."And if anyone owes anyone an apology, it's me. I shouldn't have brought Aspen along into the Ford estate in the first place."Hearing this, Mr. Ford suddenly laughed, his eyes crinkling. "That ungrateful son of mine… He truly doesn't know what he's lost!""Exactly," I agreed in my mind.Before my parent
Hearing Mr. Ford's familiar, slightly anxious voice, Adrian visibly panicked. His face turned pale as he stammered, "Dad? Wh-What are you doing here?"Trying to mask his unease, he added with forced composure, "If you had told me you were coming, I would've picked you up. There was no need for you to come all this way yourself."I sneered to myself. In my previous life, Adrian had gone to great lengths to prevent Mr. Ford from seeing me one last time after my death. It was clear he felt guilty, knowing how much I mattered to his father.Mr. Ford's expression was stormy. His gaze looked as sharp as knives as they swept over Adrian before landing on the similarly flustered Aspen.Rosalie was still rattled by the sudden turn of events, and she seemed oblivious to Mr. Ford's words. Putting on an ingratiating smile, she stepped forward and began showering him with compliments. "Mr. Ford, you're truly blessed to have such a beautiful and kind-hearted daughter-in-law!"And Mr. Adrian is
Knowing Adrian was on his way, Aspen showed no fear. Instead, she doubled down with a smug provocation. "Go ahead. Let's have Ian tell everyone here who his real fiancée is!"I couldn't help but silently mock my past self. How foolish had I been to let them play me so easily?In my previous life, Aspen had revealed the truth to me only at the very end. "Your fiancé couldn't resist the temptation at all. I just wore your camisole to his room, and he couldn't hold back."It turned out she had been seducing Adrian all along, ultimately becoming the perfect image of his ideal woman. Because of my past of getting kidnapped as a child and enduring years of hardship, I had cherished Aspen as a sister. I had trusted her blindly, and she had used that trust to steal Adrian from me when I least expected it. Meanwhile, Adrian had only agreed to our engagement for his own selfish reasons. Thinking of that now, I quietly composed and sent a text message.Before long, Adrian arrived, breathl
Aspen lunged toward me. She tried to grab my phone, but I countered with a sharp, resounding slap. It was louder than the first.Rosalie and June froze in place. Their faces were etched with terror.Aspen clutched her rapidly swelling cheek, staring at me in disbelief. "Alice! Y-You! Aren't you afraid of what Ian will do when he finds out you hit me?"I almost laughed from sheer anger. Raising an eyebrow, I retorted, "Weren't you all the ones insisting on calling the police? Now that I'm calling them, what are you afraid of?"I deliberately paused, letting my gaze sweep over their panicked faces. "And even if Adrian finds out I slapped you, so what? Does the Ford Group belong to him now? He's nothing but a spoiled heir. Why should I be afraid?"Rosalie snapped out of her shock and hurried to support Aspen, treating her as though she were a rare treasure. Turning to me, she spat, "How dare you hit Mrs. Ford, you fraud! You've gone too far!"She barked at June and the other staff,
Aspen Miller stumbled from the slap I gave her. Her veil slipped off as she held her cheek, staring at me in disbelief. "Alice Lowe! Are you insane?" she shrieked. "How dare you hit me! Do you even know what you're doing?"I glared at the shameless woman in front of me. My body trembled, and I could still feel my anger boiling inside me.In my previous life, I had been kidnapped as a child and sold to a remote mountain village. That was how I ended up with the Miller family. When my biological parents finally found me, I learned I was the only daughter of the prestigious Lowe family.As I was leaving, I felt sorry for Aspen. I was worried that she'd end up being treated like a maid in that mountain village who preferred sons over daughters. So, I begged my parents to take her in as the Lowes' adopted daughter.What I hadn't expected was that I'd be bringing a wolf into the house. Aspen not only stole my fiancé, Adrian Ford, but she also manipulated me relentlessly. She ultimately
