Chapter 2

Penulis: Ardent Passion
The guests who attended the wedding became dumbfounded.

“I’ve long heard that there was serious infighting in Emerald Enigma. But I’m sure there isn’t anything to dispute since Emilia’s only daughter is the heiress.”

“Yeah. Everyone knows that Emilia’s only daughter is called Nancy. Besides, her name’s written on the wedding invitation card too. Who the hell is Stella?”

“How dare she make a scene and beat up Miss Jenkins at the wedding? I’m sure Stella is doomed.”

Max, Charles, and David were still bewildered. But they finally heaved a sigh of relief after listening to the others’ comments.

“What’s wrong with you today, Stella? Get off the stage!”

“I’m Max Murphy, Nancy’s husband. I can prove that Nancy is the bride and the heiress of Emerald Enigma!”

“I’m Charles Jenkins, the eldest son of the Jenkins family. I grew up with Nancy. How could there be a mistake?”

“I’m David Tucker, Nancy’s bodyguard. Nancy is the heiress of Emerald Enigma. Plus, I don’t know anyone by the name of Stella Jenkins.”

The three of them stood together in a row and fiercely protected Nancy. At the same time, they glared at me.

The audience burst into laughter.

“I’m sure Stella’s out of her mind. She can’t covet Emerald Enigma, though there are a lot of handsome guys there.”

“The Jenkins family did a good job protecting the information of their heiress all these years. But we know that Charles is the family’s eldest son. Also, Max is the live-in son-in-law, and David is the heiress’s bodyguard. They’re right.”

“Yes! Stella, hurry up and apologize!”

I raised my head and looked past everyone to stare at the man who had rushed to the scene.

“Mr. Zimmer, you’ve been with my mother for many years. I’m sure you know my mother’s daughter.”

Everyone turned in the same direction and started gossiping.

“Isn’t that Liam Zimmer, Emilia’s lover? What is he doing here?”

“Something serious just happened at the wedding. But Emilia’s terribly ill. Of course someone has to come and manage the scene.”

Liam quietly and anxiously rushed over. He helped Nancy up and looked at me.

“You evil woman! How dare a servant like you compete with Nancy?! Tie her up. I’m taking her home so that our leader can punish her!”

I was shocked.

In my previous life, all I knew was that Nancy had bewitched Max, Charles, and David. I had no idea that Liam had taken Nancy’s side too.

Someone came over to fight me under Liam’s order.

However, I remained calm and defeated everyone who came at me by using Jenkins Art. Finally, someone noticed something when they saw the seriously injured men on the floor.

“Stella’s using Jenkins Art. Only the heirs or heiresses have the right to learn that in their family.”

“If she’s a nobody, she wouldn’t know it!”

I glared at those men and waited for their lies to be exposed.

On stage, the seriously injured Nancy unexpectedly stood up again with the men’s support. She held her breath and demonstrated some moves from Jenkins Art.

When silence washed over the audience, Nancy wiped away the blood on her lips and loudly said, “Stella, I pitied you because of your background. I let you serve me while I practiced my moves. But how dare you secretly learn them?!”

I looked at Charles with hatred. Apart from Emilia, only he and I knew those moves. Surprisingly, he had shared our family secrets with an outsider. It was outrageous!

Furious, I grabbed Charles by the collar.

“How dare you?!”

However, Charles remained calm and looked at Nancy.

She took this opportunity to fish something out and raise it high.

“My mother gave me the token of Emerald Enigma long ago. Stella, this mess ends now.”

    “But how did you repay me? Say it!”Max was so scared that he started crying. But I showed him no mercy and made him reunite with David, his best buddy.Finally, I looked at Charles.He was trembling all over with fear. But still, he held his ground and looked at Emilia. “Mom, I just made a mistake. You can’t let Stella punish me. I’m your only son!”I looked at him with a sneer and exposed the truth, which was unknown to him. “Charles, you’re not my mother’s biological son.”Shocked, he stopped crying.“That can’t be! That’s preposterous!”I threw the evidence at his face.“Mom couldn’t get pregnant for a long time. So, she adopted you from an orphanage so that our home would be livelier. She kept this from you because she didn’t want to break your heart, but you’re ungrateful. You conspired with an outsider to harm our family. I don’t have anything else to say to you, Charles. Just join your buddies.”Charles picked up the report and turned pale after reading it. When th

    “Stella, your good background is useless. You’re still a worthless piece of trash who can’t keep men. Listen here. I enjoyed how your fiance and bodyguard tasted.”No one could accept such humiliation. Just as I was about to make a move, Naomi stopped me. “Stella, you’ve been learning Jenkins Art from me all these years. You can’t beat me.” I looked at her as if she were a stranger when she threatened me. “In that case, this is your last chance, Aunt Naomi. Who will you pick, your family or Liam?”My words made Liam burst into laughter.“How naive of you! Didn’t you see what happened at the wedding? Do you think I did nothing while I stayed by Emilia’s side all these years? I’ve learned everything about Emerald Enigma’s operation and forces. There’s no point in keeping you guys around. If you’re unwilling to negotiate, go to hell. Get them!”Many of Emerald Enigma’s members immediately rushed toward Emilia and me.I reacted quickly and closed the door before locking it.Nan

  • I Was Betrayed by Three Men   Chapter 7

    I fell silent because I found the incident very strange as we looked into it. Gradually, the pain from my injuries started tearing me apart. I could no longer hold on and finally blacked out. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the hospital. When the doctor saw me come to, he entered the ward with heavy steps.“Hmph! I didn’t expect you to make such a scene for fame and profit. Do you know that they’ve locked Nancy up?!”I quietly watched the man before me. Previously, I would always get hurt from practicing martial arts. So, I would visit this private hospital and ask him to bandage my wounds.Unexpectedly, Nancy had even bewitched my doctor.He muttered something again when he noticed my silence. He asked me not to make things too difficult for Nancy. I slowly got to my feet and punched him.“Get lost! Don’t come here if you don’t know who your master is!”Emilia quickly rushed over with her bodyguard when she heard the noise in the ward. The doctor wailed pitif

    As Charles spoke, he stepped forward, but Emilia’s bodyguard blocked his path.“Today is Miss Stella Jenkins’s succession ceremony. You will not be this brazen!” Her words undeniably proved my identity. Nancy turned pale as she wavered, and Charles became anxious when he saw this. “Mom, stop causing a scene. I’m begging you. Don’t embarrass Nancy. If you’re worried, bring Stella to the hospital. I’ll handle everything here.”Emilia’s bodyguard gave him a hard slap, and he fell to the floor.“Your opinions don’t matter here!”Charles’s lips started bleeding as a result. He finally saw the severity of the situation and became scared. “Mom, why don’t we pause the ceremony and do it another day—”Emilia interrupted him right away. “This rebellious man is no longer my son! Continue the ceremony!”Nobody dared to speak. Everyone gaped and watched as Emilia placed Emerald Enigma’s token in my hand.“I’m so sorry for not managing Emerald Enigma well. But I only have one daughter.

  • I Was Betrayed by Three Men   Chapter 5

    I did not expect my closest family members to say such cruel words. Although I had experienced it once, I was still heartbroken.I had beaten Nancy up badly and humiliated her. Certainly, she wanted to do the same to me.She shook off the two men and accepted a switchblade from David.“David, you know me well.” David grinned and never even thought of the fact that I had made him that switchblade when we were both young. Yet, he handed the switchblade to Nancy, my biggest enemy. He did not care if it would kill me.Nancy played with the switchblade and gripped my hair. “Let’s start with your hair.” David became worried that I might suddenly get up and beat Nancy up. So, he immediately grabbed my hands from behind and forced my head down.Nancy cracked a hideous smile and slashed at my scalp repeatedly. “Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t holding the switchblade properly.” While she talked, she slashed at the back of my head and created a bloody cut. I gritted my teeth but remained quiet

    I was overcome with emotion when I saw who it was. It was Naomi Jenkins, an elder on my mother’s side and my mentor, who had taught me martial arts.“Aunt Naomi…” Naomi quickly walked toward me when she heard my call.“You despicable people! Who injured Stella’s limbs?” she rebuked angrily when she saw my injuries. Everyone looked at David, who gingerly swallowed and walked over to hold Naomi’s hand.“Miss Jenkins, there’s been a misunderstanding here. Calm down. We’ll slowly explain it to you later.” However, Naomi beat him up.“How could you do this? You’ve worked for Stella from a young age. She treated you as her family. How could you harm her? You fool! I’m going to kill you even if Stella begs for mercy on your behalf!” All the men looked pale. Max was quite nervous as he begged in a soft tone, “Calm down, Miss Jenkins. Stella suddenly became hysterical and harmed Mr. Zimmer. We had no choice but to stop her.”Naomi’s eyebrows twitched when she heard Liam’s name. The
