Chapter: CHAPTER 180: OH NO! ETHAN WAS THE ONE WHO FRAMED ME!With the gavel struck, Steven broke down in tears, exclaiming, "I am innocent!!!" The police escorted him away as his family—parents, sister, and girlfriend—cried out in anguish. The victim's family rejoiced, relieved that justice had been served for their only son. Charlotte felt gratified that she had persevered with the case, despite the fact that Edward could not be brought back to life; justice had been achieved. Ethan was the only individual pleased to witness Steven's removal and to see him face a lifetime sentence for a crime he did not commit, wearing a mischievous smile. The following day, Angela visited Ethan, informing him that Steven had been sentenced to life imprisonment. She then shared the good news about how Cynthia had facilitated Ethan's automatic employment at the financial institution managed by her uncle, along with the provision of a house and car. Overcome with emotion, Ethan burst into tears, filled with joy at how his life had transformed overnight

Chapter: CHAPTER 179: THE JUDGEMENT DAY: I JUDGE BARRETT, DECLARE YOU GUILTY, AND I HEREBY SENTENCE YOU TO LIFE IMPRISONMENTCharlotte sighed and remarked, "Hmm, the case may be resolved by then." Ethan pivoted the conversation by posing a challenging question to Charlotte: "Given that you perceive something suspicious in this case, does this imply that you will cease to manage it and forgo seeking justice for your deceased client?" "I understand your intentions, Ethan, but I must disappoint you; as it stands, Steven is guilty, and I remain committed to this case and will pursue justice for my late client," Charlotte asserted. Ethan smiled slyly, as this was precisely the response he had hoped to hear. "I shall now return home; I look forward to seeing you on the final day for the judge's ruling," Charlotte announced as she departed. Ethan waved goodbye as he took a deep breath. A few days later, Cynthia spoke with her uncle, Maxwell, who is a bank manager at a different financial institution, concerning Ethan's employment. "Good day, Uncle," Cynthia greeted. "Oh, my favourite niece! How are

Chapter: CHAPTER 178: WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING TO INFORM ME THAT STEVEN HAD COMMITTED MURDER AND WAS IN POLICE CUSTODY?"Very well, I have heard you," Susan conceded. "Excellent! Now, please tell me how much you expended on your witness?" Jane inquired. "I do not comprehend; why are you posing such a trivial question?" Susan retorted. "Because that individual does not appear to be in dire need of financial assistance," Jane replied. "Neither does yours," Susan countered. "Pray tell, what secret are you concealing, and who is that individual?" Jane pressed. "Why do you not reveal the secret you are hiding?" Susan countered. Jane crossed her arms and stated, "You first; I shall disclose my secret after you reveal yours." "Why?" Susan queried. "Because I asked first," Jane responded. "Very well, I shall begin. If you must know, I am not concealing any secret; he is merely someone I assisted some time ago, and he opted to repay the favour by standing as a witness for my boyfriend, who happens to be your brother," Susan explained. "Really!" Jane exclaimed. "Indeed," Susan confirmed. "Please, el

Chapter: CHAPTER 177: I FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, I AM PRICELESS; NO AMOUNT OF BRIBERY WILL COMPEL ME TO WITHDRAW FROM THIS CASE"Very well. I hope she consents, as I am eager to leave this place," Steven concluded. "I will approach her office tomorrow morning. For now, I must take my leave. Take care, Steven, and maintain faith," Barrister Robert said as he departed. The following day, he visited Charlotte's office. Upon seeing him, Charlotte perceived that he had come with an important proposition. "Good day, Charlotte," Barrister Robert greeted. Charlotte responded with a feigned smile and remarked, "I assume we have not yet been formally introduced." Barrister Robert extended his hand in introduction, saying, "Oh, I apologise for my manners; I am Barrister Robert." Charlotte disregarded his handshake and retorted curtly, "I see no need to introduce myself again, as I believe you are already aware of my identity." "Could you at least offer me a seat?" Barrister Robert requested. "Given your demeanour, I did not assume you wished to sit," Charlotte replied. Barrister Robert nodded and said, "Charlott

Chapter: CHAPTER 176: THE COURT DAY (DO YOU PLEAD GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY)Barrister Robert, Steven's parents, his sister Jane, and his girlfriend Susan were all present in the courtroom, as were the victim's family. Upon the entrance of Judge Barrett, all present rose in a display of respect, after which he instructed them to be seated. The court usher then announced, "Let the witnesses come forward." Jasper was the first individual called to testify before Judge Barrett. "Please state your name and recount your observations regarding the defendant," directed Judge Barrett. None in the courtroom were familiar with Jasper, not even Charlotte, who was a friend of Steven's, hence he proceeded to introduce himself. "My name is Jasper, and I am a friend of the defendant. I was present at his residence when he received a phone call, and he took some time before leaving the house. Upon his arrival at the scene, he quickly contacted me to inform me that someone had been murdered prior to his arrival," Jasper stated confidently. Before Judge Barrett could pos

Chapter: CHAPTER 175: ‘WHAT WILL BE, WILL BE’"I need a hug too," Jasper said, reciprocating as he embraced Steven tightly. They then departed, and Steven was escorted back to his cell. Meanwhile, upon returning home, Jane promptly called Barrister Robert to inform him that her brother Steven wished to see him and that it was of great importance. The following morning, Barrister Robert arrived at the police station to see his client, Steven, curious about the reason for the summons. "Steven, how are you? Your sister called to say you wanted to see me. I hope everything is well," Barrister Robert inquired quickly. "Indeed, all is well. I simply wished to discuss something significant with you," Steven acknowledged. "Very well, I am listening," Barrister Robert responded. "I would like to know if you have managed to find anyone willing to act as my witness in court," Steven asked. Barrister Robert adjusted his necktie and cleared his throat before explaining, "Um, I regret to inform you that I have not yet secured a

MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER
Audrey, dressed simply with her golden hair hidden under a faded cap, appeared to be a struggling young woman. However, she was actually the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, living in secrecy to avoid those who only sought her fortune.
Tired of being valued for her money rather than for who she was, Audrey pretended to be from a poor background in search of true love. In this disguise, she met Alan, a charming architect with big dreams. Their love flourished, and they married in a small, nature-filled ceremony, away from her luxurious life.
Unfortunately, their bond began to unravel when Audrey secretly hired Alan as CEO of her father’s company, hoping to help him succeed. While he initially thrived, the ambition that came with the position changed him, and he grew distant. Heartbroken, Audrey discovered that Alan had found comfort in another woman, believing her to be the true tycoon’s daughter. This betrayal left Audrey questioning love itself.
Just when she was ready to give up, Michael entered her life. A kind-hearted aspiring businessman, he appreciated Audrey for who she truly was and urged her to embrace her identity, emphasizing that love is about connection, not status.
How will Audrey reveal her true identity? What will happen to her ungrateful husband and those against her?

Chapter: CHAPTER 109: HELLO HANDSOMEThe very next morning, Kevin wasted no time. The moment he woke up, Isabella was already on his mind. Her smile, her calm voice, the softness in her eyes during their encounter at the hospital, none of it had left him. It felt strange to him because he had met many women before, yet none had occupied his thoughts the way Isabella did.After taking a quick shower and getting dressed, he picked up the small piece of paper where he had written the address of the café downtown where Isabella worked, the same address I had given him over the phone. He stared at it briefly before slipping it into his pocket. His heartbeat strangely increased as he got into his car and drove toward the café.Throughout the drive, his mind remained restless. “What exactly am I going there to do?” he muttered to himself.Part of him wanted to see her again while another part of him feared embarrassing himself. He wasn’t used to feeling nervous around women, but Isabella somehow made him lose every bit of confi

Chapter: CHAPTER 108: SECRETS TOO HEAVY TO CARRYAfter listening to everything Michael said, I felt like my chest was being crushed under an invisible weight. Every single word pierced deeply into my heart, reopening wounds I had tried so hard to bury. The truth was painful, far more painful than I expected, and before I could even stop myself, my emotions completely overwhelmed me. I turned abruptly and ran out of the garden. The beautiful flowers, the cool evening breeze, and the peaceful atmosphere no longer mattered. All I could hear was the loud pounding of my heartbeat and the painful thoughts screaming inside my head. Tears blurred my vision as I rushed through the hallway toward my room. The moment I entered, I slammed the door shut behind me and locked it immediately. Then I broke down. A loud sob escaped my lips as tears poured uncontrollably down my cheeks. I covered my face with both hands and cried harder than I had cried in years. It felt like every lie I had ever told, every secret I had hidden, and every fear bur

Chapter: CHAPTER 107: HE LOVED ME WITHOUT KNOWING WHO I WASThe evening air felt calm and refreshing as Michael suggested that we take a walk around the mansion. I agreed immediately because being around him gave me a strange sense of peace I hadn’t felt in a very long time. A soft smile appeared on his face as he extended his hand toward me dramatically before giving me a playful bow.“My lady,” he said teasingly.I burst into laughter at his behavior, and seeing me laugh made him laugh too. Without hesitation, I placed my hand in his, allowing our fingers to intertwine naturally. The warmth of his hand around mine sent a comforting feeling through my chest as we began strolling side by side toward the garden.The pathway leading to the garden was beautifully decorated with soft golden lights, making the entire place look magical. Flowers lined both sides of the walkway, their sweet fragrance blending perfectly with the cool evening breeze. For the first time in days, my mind felt light. Surprisingly, not even a single thought of Alan crossed

Chapter: CHAPTER 106: NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR YOUThe closet was overflowing with dazzling gowns and luxurious outfits that practically screamed elegance and wealth, which explained why the glittering fabrics and sparkling designs reflected so much light that I instinctively narrowed my eyes. Silk, satin, velvet, sequins, designer heels, handbags everything inside looked like it belonged in the dressing room of a celebrity or royalty. Nothing about it looked ordinary.For a few seconds, I simply stood there in complete disbelief, slowly scanning every section of the closet. What shocked me even more was that every single outfit still had its tag attached. They were all brand-new. Not one looked worn or reused. It was as if someone had gone on a massive luxury shopping spree just for me.But the most disturbing part wasn’t the expensive clothes. It was the fact that every single dress in that closet looked like it would fit me perfectly. Not too tight. Not too loose. Just perfect. Every single one looked exactly like my size.I looked

Chapter: CHAPTER 105: TREATED LIKE A QUEENThe next morning, I woke up slowly, feeling unusually comfortable. For a few seconds, I remained still on the enormous bed, trying to remember where I was. The soft scent filling the room, the expensive silk sheets wrapped around my body, and the calm silence surrounding me all felt unreal. Then it hit me. I was still inside Michael’s mansion.I blinked my eyes open lazily, only to freeze in surprise when I saw four women standing neatly beside the bed. They were dressed elegantly in matching maid uniforms, standing upright with perfect posture like they had been waiting for hours. The moment they noticed I was awake, all four of them bowed politely at the same time. “Good morning, Ma’am,” they greeted in perfect chorus, each wearing a warm smile.I stared at them for a second before letting out a small laugh. “Good morning,” I replied softly while sitting upright on the bed and stretching my body tiredly.I could still barely believe this was my reality.“How are you all doing?” I as

Chapter: CHAPTER 104: A PLACE CALLED HOMEWhen Michael and I stepped through the grand entrance of the mansion, the very first thing I did was breathe. A long, deep breath escaped my lips as if my soul had finally found peace after being trapped for so long. Relief washed over me instantly. The atmosphere inside the mansion felt warm, elegant, and strangely comforting. It didn’t feel unfamiliar at all. Instead, it felt like I had returned to a place I truly belonged.The entire living room radiated luxury. Crystal chandeliers hung beautifully from the high ceiling, casting soft golden lights across the polished marble floors. The air carried an expensive fragrance that smelled fresh, rich, and calming at the same time. I inhaled slowly again, allowing the scent settle deep inside me. It reminded me of the life I once lived before everything became complicated.Without waiting for Michael to offer me a seat, I quietly walked toward the nearest couch and lowered myself onto it. The moment my body touched the soft material, I fr
