After Hearing Her Thoughts, I Married the Billionaire Heir

I pretended not to notice. Only an idiot would refuse.Joshua walked over to me. “Give me your bank account.”I had no idea what he was planning to do, but I obediently gave him my account details anyway. A moment later, my phone chimed with a pleasant notification sound.One million dollars had been transferred into my account.I stared at the screen in shock.How much was it again?To me, one million was an astronomical figure.Joshua looked at me. “If it’s not enough, tell me.”I swallowed hard. “Isn’t one million a little too much?”One of the maids standing nearby couldn’t help laughing. Who in the world would complain about having too much money?Maybe I was just not used to receiving this much money before. After receiving it a few more times, I’d probably get used to it.Besides, my grandmother was still lying in the hospital waiting for life-saving treatment, so I accepted the money.Yvonne shot me a vicious glare before turning to Joshua. “Joshua, we still haven’t figured e

She pulled out a stack of photos stamped with timestamps. “These are all proof. At the time, she was out fooling around with a bunch of men at a bar. There’s no way she could’ve been at the hotel.”In the photos, several different men had their arms wrapped around me while kissing me intimately.Yvonne continued loudly, “And Louisa’s filthy to begin with. Ever since high school, she’s been involved with different guys, her private life is a complete mess, and she’s even had an abortion before. A woman like that doesn’t deserve to marry you!”The entire venue erupted into chaos.Joshua’s face darkened instantly as he lifted his eyes to look at me.All around us, the guests began whispering among themselves.“She looks so sweet and innocent, but turns out she’s nothing like that behind the scenes.”“She’s been messing around with men since she was young? That’s disgusting. Forget marrying Mr. Carter, even my son wouldn’t want someone like her.”“Exactly. Women like this only know how to

“Stop right there.”Joshua’s voice halted me in my tracks.He walked over and lowered his gaze to the red handprint on my face. His fingers lightly brushed against it. “Does it hurt?”I froze for a moment.Yvonne immediately demanded angrily, “Joshua, don’t you see that my face is hurt too? Why are you only worried about her?”Joshua glanced at her indifferently. “If you hadn’t hit her first, would she have hit you back?”Yvonne was instantly speechless.So, he had seen everything just now?Joshua took my hand. “Come with me. I’ll get you treated.”He led me downstairs while Yvonne’s furious thoughts echoed behind us.[Louisa, just you wait. I’ll never let you off.]It was obvious Yvonne wouldn’t give up so easily, but for the next several days, she made no new moves. All I could do was stay cautious and wait.That evening, the dining table was unusually quiet.Rachel was the first to speak. “Actually, proving whether Louisa was the woman that night is very simple.”Joshua looked at he

Yvonne’s face went pale instantly as panic flashed across her features. She hurriedly tried to explain herself.“Joshua, none of what you heard is true. Louisa’s trying to frame me.”“Mrs. Carter Sr., you’ve watched me grow up. I can’t even bear to step on an ant. There’s no way I’d ever try to kill someone.”I calmly pulled out my phone and played the recording.Every single word she just said was captured clearly.The color drained from Yvonne’s face in an instant. Like she’d gone completely mad, she lunged toward me, trying to snatch away my phone.“Louisa, you bitch! How dare you set me up!”I flinched in shock, but before she could even touch me, Joshua stepped in front of me and stopped her.His voice turned ice-cold. “Yvonne, even now, you still refuse to admit what you’ve done? I never imagined you were capable of being this vicious.”Yvonne burst into tears and grabbed onto Joshua’s arm.“It’s not like that. I only did it because I love you so much. I didn’t mean for things to
