What would you do if your groom had betrayed you right before the wedding? As for Lysia Kingsley, the arrogant heiress of the Kingsley family, she immediately replaced her groom. “I have a good career, beautiful looks, a prominent family, and money.

Indeed, the flash marriage turned from fake to real. After dumping her ex-boyfriend, she became his aunt when she married Kyle Reinhart -His uncle, also the CEO of the powerful Reinhart Corporation.

Raven trembled as she hurriedly shut the laptop behind her, stammering in an attempt to dodge the question.Just as she was about to slip away, the California Kingsnake suddenly raised its body and flicked its tongue, letting out a low gruhh sound that nearly made her heart jump out of her chest."Roonie, come here." Catherine clapped her hands twice and called out.Immediately, the snake slithered over to Catherine and swiftly coiled itself around her arm.Lysia shuddered slightly at Catherine’s pet. She understood her best friend’s unusual interests—keeping snakes and her fondness for reptiles. But those creatures were Lysia’s nemesis. However, today, she needed to put on a little show, and the California Kingsnake would play a crucial role."Earlier today, Cathy accidentally spilled a type of powder that this little guy loves onto my
"That's impossible. You must be joking, Mr. Grant. How could it be me when I’ve never even met him in person?" Lysia’s lips trembled as she spoke, her voice laced with utter disbelief.Kyle, however, remained as composed as ever. He furrowed his brows slightly and said, "May I see those emails?"Philip had already prepared a laptop, logged into Richard Lane's email account. He navigated to the ‘Starred’ folder, where all the threatening emails Richard had received were saved separately."Take a look. We've verified that the IP addresses all trace back to the RRC Newsroom, and the exact email address belongs to Ms. Kingsley." Philip glanced at them before correcting himself, "Ah no, Mrs. Reinhart."Lysia read through the earliest threatening email, dated nearly a month ago. As she scanned the words, she covered her mouth in shock, unable to comprehend when she had supposedly written them. The content revolved around Richard Lane attempting to negotiate with her to take down an article,
As soon as Lysia stepped out of the newsroom, a swarm of reporters seemingly appeared out of nowhere, surrounding her in an instant. Dozens of microphones were thrust toward her, while camera flashes fired relentlessly from every direction."Journalist Kingsley, do you have a personal grudge against HyperVolt? Did you deliberately write that article to bring down their product?""Before publication, every article requires approval from the interviewee. Did you publish the article without the HyperVolt CEO’s consent, leading to today’s tragedy?""Is his death the result of your professional negligence, Ms. Kingsley?" The last reporter managed to break past the security team and stood directly in front of Lysia, pressing for an answer.Lysia had always been sensitive about her work, and it was difficult for her to endure such unfounded and irrational attacks on her professional integrity. She initially wanted to respond right away, but at the last second, she restrained herself—for the
Camilla turned pale, her lips quivering, but no words came out. She clenched the bedsheet tightly, tears still streaming down her face. Seeing this, Lysia narrowed her eyes, waiting for her to reveal the truth.Kyle didn’t give her a chance to evade. Leaning forward, his voice was cold and sharp. “I’ll ask one more time—who is Arthur?”“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, Mr. Reinhart,” Camilla replied, trembling as she avoided Kyle’s piercing gaze.Then, grabbing a pillow, she flung herself forward, screaming like a madwoman. “Get out of here! Do you think you can live peacefully after I lost my baby? You’re the ones who indirectly killed my child—filthy scum!”Even as the IV line ripped from her hand, causing blood to seep from the back of it, Camilla felt no pain. The agony she bore inside was far worse.She had truly cherished the baby in her womb—because she had loved the baby’s father.Lysia stepped out from behind Kyle’s broad frame, a faintly mocking smile playing
“Lysia! Lysia!”Lysia felt as if she had forgotten how to breathe as she stared at her bloodstained hands. Just moments ago, she had been able to hold onto Camilla, but instead, she had pushed her away and fled. In her ears, the roaring of the storm mixed with Camilla’s faint cries for help.After the ambulance left, she clung to Kyle, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist as she gasped for air. Her heart pounded violently, as if it were about to burst.She clutched the hem of his white shirt, crumpling the fabric, uncaring that it was now stained with bright red blood. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t calm herself.It wasn’t until Kyle gently stroked her back that she finally heard his voice.“Lysia Kingsley, you need to calm down. Be strong and rational, just like you always are. I’m right here.”“Kyle… Did I just kill someone? If something happens to Cami’s baby, doesn’t that mean I… killed it?” Lysia’s voice trembled, her entire body shaking with every word.Kyle gri
"Uncle Kyle, I just wanted to talk to Lysia for a bit. I didn’t expect Grandma to..." Henry faltered when Kyle suddenly appeared, but he quickly composed himself and tried to explain.SMACK!Kyle didn’t let Henry finish. He landed a punch straight to Henry’s face. Staggering back, Henry wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth."I warned you not to lay a hand on my wife!" Kyle growled, his eyes radiating fury.Lysia flinched but didn’t intervene. She knew Kyle wasn’t one to lose his temper easily, but when he did, the consequences were always terrifying.The moment Kyle got home, the first thing he saw was Lysia frantically calling out to Samantha, who had collapsed, looking lost and desperate. He barely had time to think—he immediately rushed her to the hospital. And now, seeing Henry, he knew exactly who was responsible for all of this."Uncle Kyle, I truly apologize. When Grandma wakes up, I’ll explain everything to clear up the misunderstanding," Henry said, bowing h
Henry had just landed after completing his business trip. As soon as he got into the car, he immediately noticed numerous missed calls from his mother. “Yes, Mom?” he answered the phone. A loud scream from Jessica on the other end made Henry flinch. She demanded, “Where are you? Get back to Reeds City immediately!” “I’m at Reeds Airport. What’s going on?” he asked in a weary tone, his face showing clear frustration. His mother was always loud and abrasive, and it annoyed him to no end. Jessica didn’t lower her voice as she continued, “That wretched Lysia just published an article accusing your company of selling impure diamonds, scamming customers, and failing to resolve recent lawsuits. And you’re still sitting there calmly?” “What?!” Henry shot upright. Clutching his phone tightly, he asked again, “Are you sure it was her?” “The article is on RRC Newsroom. The author is Lysia Kingsley. Who else could it be? I told you to break her and Kyle apart, but you kept hesitating.
“Lys, what were the test results? Are you really pregnant?” Samantha asked, her voice urgent and filled with anticipation. Lysia raised an eyebrow and tried to change the subject. “Mom, why are you here?” She knew that Samantha had a scheduled check-up today at Reeds Hospital, but the clinic she was supposed to visit was in a different building. Running into her mother-in-law in such an awkward situation was the last thing Lysia expected. However, she couldn’t tell Samantha the real reason she was at the obstetrics clinic. Making up an excuse about being there by coincidence would be ridiculous and unbelievable. “I came to visit a niece of mine who works in the obstetrics department at Reeds. She’s actually a very close cousin of Kyle’s. Unfortunately, she had to rush into the emergency room just now; otherwise, I would have introduced you to her,” Samantha explained, still holding onto Lysia’s hand. “You haven’t answered my question.” “Mom, I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Lysia
The interview took place in a conference room on the 10th floor of the building. Alongside Henry, there was also the team responsible for the production of the necklaces that had recently been the subject of lawsuits. They all seemed to have been summoned urgently, as their expressions showed clear surprise at the presence of a journalist.“Please answer naturally. I’m not the police, so I can’t throw any of you in jail right away, and this interview is not an interrogation. I believe this article is necessary at this moment so customers can understand Reinhart Diamond Ring’s stance on the matter,” Lysia said calmly, seated across from them.The employees exchanged glances with Henry before cooperating with Lysia to begin the interview.The person assigned to take notes for today’s interview was Ryder. Though Lysia hadn’t brought up their previous conversation or questioned him about the photo from that day, her attitude had noticeably cooled. Still, she was committed to properly ment
“You look so beautiful today, baby. You’re so sexy and alluring that I want to thrust into you right now.”That was the compliment the groom gave his bride’s best friend before entering the aisle. Could you believe that? And then, lewd moans, gasps, and fucking noises were heard amidst the melodious wedding music.So what do you think the bride would do if she found out that her groom and his best friend were cheating on her right on her wedding day?Lysia imagined that she would rush into and beat this dirty couple. She wanted to expose their true colors in front of all the guests to put an end to the grand wedding she had prepared. And then with just one article she could write, they would no longer be able to show their faces in Reeds City with their disgusting reputation.But that was just a fantasy!“Baby, don’t worry. After Lysia gets married, the Kingsley family will transfer her a portion of their inheritance as a wedding gift. Once I persuade her to give me that massive sum, ...
