I Snatched the Rejected Groom and Climbed into High Society Chapter 7
After the wedding ended, I went to find Stanford. He was standing alone on the terrace, staring at the photograph in his hand."Dad." I walked over and spoke softly. "Can you tell me about my mom? What kind of person was she?"A trace of nostalgia flashed through Stanford's eyes. His voice softened. "She was a very kind, gentle woman. But deep down, she was also incredibly strong. No matter how difficult things were, no matter how hard life got, she would always find a way to keep going."I remember once, we went through a flood together. I was caught in a whirlpool. Your mother, such a thin woman, jumped in and grabbed my hand. She held on with everything she had and saved my life. From that day on, I always wanted to repay her."So, when you came with the photograph, I didn't even ask any questions and immediately arranged for you to marry Kingston. That was a promise I made to her."The night wind drifted across the terrace. Stanford let out a long sigh. "There was too much we

I slowly raised my arm so everyone could see the old scars on it. Those were the light and dark marks that would never fade.I gave a self-deprecating smile. "Some of these are from being whipped. Some are cigarette burns. And this obvious scar is from when I was held down and scalded with boiling water as a child. This was the 'care' she gave me."I looked at the stunned Nina. "As for the photograph, your mom knew about it too. When she heard that my mom's boyfriend had become Harbor City's richest man, her first thought was to let her own daughter take my place and marry into the York family."Unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to tell you the truth. She died in the middle of you arguing with her."I smiled slightly. "Nina, you and your mom abused me for 20 years. But when she got sick, I still worked overtime every day to raise money for her treatment. My conscience is clear."As for the debts your mom left behind, I knew nothing about them, and I never spent a dime of th

The entire venue erupted. Every camera instantly turned toward the test report. Flashes went off wildly.Nina looked at me with triumph and malice in her eyes. "Leah, you stole my things. You stole my life. Now, it's time to give it all back."However, when she faced the cameras, her expression quickly turned pitiful. "She's fooled all of you. She's an ungrateful bitch. My mom kindly adopted her, but she bullied me since we were kids and even stole money from home to sleep with men. "When my mom fell sick, she didn't care at all. She even angered my mom to death before she could reveal the truth. Leah, I just want to ask. What did our family ever do to you? What did we do to deserve this?" She bawled as if she had suffered a great injustice.The crowd burst into whispers. "So, she's adopted…""She even stole the real daughter's opportunity. How shameless.""If the York family keeps her as their daughter-in-law, their stock price might crash."The murmurs grew louder and loude

All eyes turned toward me.The man's face went pale with fright, and he shoved Nina. "Shut her up! Is she crazy? How dare she call Mr. York 'honey'?" He hurriedly turned around, putting on a flattering smile as he blocked Kingston. "Mr. York, it's a misunderstanding. This woman isn't right in the head. She's too desperate to climb the social ladder. I'll drag her out right now."Before he finished speaking, Kingston had already seen me. Nina was covering my mouth tightly, and I couldn't make a sound. I could only stare at him with wide eyes.Kingston's expression darkened instantly. He kicked the man aside. "Get out of the way."Then, he strode toward me, pushed Nina aside, and pulled me into his arms. His voice carried suppressed anger. "Who told you you could touch her?"The crowd burst into uproar. All kinds of shocked, curious looks were cast in our direction.Kingston raised his head and spoke calmly. "I didn't have the chance to formally introduce her before. This is my w

Kingston woke up the next afternoon. When he opened his eyes and saw me, he froze for a moment.I was sitting beside the bed, and my eyes were red."You've been crying?" His voice was hoarse.I really did want to cry. If Kingston had died while he was with me, his father would inevitably blame me. He might even kick me out, and the money in my bank account could be frozen. The thought made me as sad as I'd be if my husband had died.But Kingston suddenly laughed. His eyes lit up as he looked at me. "Leah Henderson, before this, I always thought you were only being nice to me because of money. But yesterday, you risked your life to save me. Now, I believe you really like me."I opened my mouth. "Actually…"He interrupted me. "Since we're already married, I'm willing to give you a chance. We can try getting along first. Oh, right. Do you still have spending money? I'll transfer another 100 million dollars to you."I immediately swallowed the words I was about to say. "Thank you. I

I moved into the York residence.The housekeeper, Clyde Hoffman, had already prepared silk pajamas, jewelry, and a full set of imported skincare products for me. After eating well and sleeping well, even my skin looked clearer.Gone were the days of working until three in the morning, saving money by eating instant noodles, being scolded by clients without daring to talk back, and thanking my boss for taking credit for my work. Goodbye, corporate slave life.Kingston didn't come home for three days straight. But that didn't stop him from becoming, in my mind, a sugar daddy worthy of respect.On the third night, my phone rang. "You can drive, right? Come pick me up."It was Kingston. The background noise was loud.When I walked into the private room wearing a long dress, several pairs of eyes turned toward me at once. Some were sizing me up, some were mocking, and some clearly had bad intentions.Kingston sat in the middle, swirling a glass of alcohol in his hand. "Kingston, th
