Plot Twists

Everyone in Gramino knows that I have a husband who makes everyone green with envy. Not only is Adam Herring the heir of a prestigious family, but he's also famous for being an unreachable heartthrob in the world of lawyers. However, he's a gentle and thoughtful husband when he's with me. I intend to come clean and reveal my identity as the heiress of one of Raineria's most prominent families on our wedding anniversary. I also plan to take him home to meet my parents. However, I stumble across a barely conscious Adam, with his hands and feet restrained by his new assistant, Lindsey York, on his birthday. His clothes are ripped, shreds of them scattered all over the floor. I lunge forward as if I've lost my mind. Lindsey ends up in the ICU, while I'm taken to court. I'm completely blindsided when Adam, who's representing me as my defense lawyer, changes his statement during the trial. He accuses me of maliciously assaulting Lindsey and doesn't say a word about how he was drugged by her. As a result, I'm sentenced to three years in prison. I demand answers from Adam in the visitation room, but he just calmly says, "You're my wife. I still love you even though you're locked behind bars. "But Lindsey's different. Her family background isn't good to begin with. If she's convicted of drugging me, her life will be ruined!" My heart turns completely hollow at that moment. Whatever. If Adam doesn't want to be the son-in-law of the Smith family, I'll have no choice but to take that position away from him.

Chapter 1

My husband, Adam Herring, was dressed in a suit as he stood outside the metal gates on the day I was released from prison.

Intense hatred burned within me when I spotted him. I wouldn't have been locked behind bars if he hadn't given a false statement all those years ago.

He hadn't visited me even once in the last three years. I couldn't help but wonder what he was trying to pull now with this act.

"What are you doing here?" I snapped.

Adam just smiled at my frosty attitude. He slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back, saying, "Of course, I'm here to pick you up, my dear wife."

He stood before me and smoothed out the wrinkles on my collar. "It's a special day today. I came to pick you up so that we can celebrate it together."

I was just about to reject him when he raised his hand, prompting two black-clad bodyguards to rush out of the car and flank me.

"Let's go, sweetheart," Adam said, offering his hand to me with a smile.

I knew that rejecting him wasn't an option. I took a deep breath and slipped into the car.

Adam kept his head down and scrolled through his phone during the car ride, showing no signs of wanting to talk to me. I was more than happy to remain quiet as I thought about how to divorce him.

When we reached the villa, I noticed that the lawn was covered in fresh flowers and floral arches. A photo of Adam and his assistant, Lindsey York, was placed outside the door to welcome the guests.

It turned out that the so-called special day Adam mentioned was his and Lindsey's wedding ceremony.

My anger boiled over. I couldn't keep my loathing in check anymore and took all my frustrations out on Adam. "What is the meaning of this, Adam?"

Adam let out a contemptuous laugh. The gentle expression on his face was swiftly replaced by deep disdain. "Did you really think that a convict like you deserves to be with someone as wealthy and powerful as me, Robin Smith?"

I was dragged out of the car by a bodyguard. Everyone's attention turned to me.

"Isn't that the convict? She's been released from prison?"

"Tch. It makes me sick seeing someone as despicable as her on such a happy occasion."

Lindsey, who was dressed in a wedding dress, strode toward me. She could barely keep the glee on her face in check.

"Oh my. You're so open-minded, Robin. I didn't expect you to be so excited about attending my wedding to Adam immediately after being released from prison. Thank you so much for coming."

I didn't hesitate for even a second as I took in Lindsey's wicked face, raising my hand and slapping her so hard that she crumpled to the ground."Lindsey!" Adam exclaimed in shock, shoving me aside and helping Lindsey to her feet with a heartbroken expression. "Listen up, Robin. Lindsey is my wife now. Don't blame me for doing something drastic if you raise your hand against her again!""Your wife?" I repeated with a scoff, shaking my head. "Do I need to refresh your memory, Adam? Although I was imprisoned three years ago, we're still not divorced yet!"But Adam didn't look embarrassed at all even after hearing what I said. Instead, he just sneered and waved his hand, prompting his assistant to hand two certificates to him.He threw both marriage certificates in my face and exclaimed, "Open your damned eyes and take a good look, Robin. These are fake."He then carefully accepted another set of marriage certificates Lindsey offered to him, treating them like precious treasures.

"It makes sense. Someone incompetent like you can only find some sense of accomplishment in things like that," Adam said. "You get it now, don't you? I didn't suddenly change my statement three years ago. Lindsey was never the one who was guilty!"I had to give credit where it was due. He knew exactly what to say to hurt me since he'd been with me for so long. I closed my eyes and forced myself to calm down. I then gritted my teeth and asked coldly, "Are you really going to marry Lindsey, Adam?"Adam exchanged glances with Lindsey before the two of them burst into laughter in unison. "Who else am I going to marry if not Lindsey? Am I supposed to marry a convict like you? You're too naive, Robin.""Alright. I hope that you don't regret your decision," I said. I then pulled out the phone that someone had given me three days ago, dialing the only number that was saved in the contacts list."You've finally decided to call, Ms. Smith.""Tell her that I'm willing to go back to inher

The hatred in my heart intensified as Adam and Lindsey continued to flirt with each other behind me. I wanted nothing more than to tear them to shreds.A few moments later, Adam took his seat on the lounge chair again. Meanwhile, Lindsey spat on me before crouching down before me with a wicked smile. "You've already drunk the wine. I won't be able to live with myself if I don't let you have a taste of Adam's and my sweet relationship."The crowd began to holler their encouragement."You sure know how to make things entertaining, Lindsey."The bodyguards hauled me to my feet before I could figure out what was going on.Lindsey grabbed a chair and ruthlessly smashed it against my waist, sending me flying a few feet away like a broken rag doll. However, she wasn't done with me just yet. She ordered the bodyguards to pick me up again before repeatedly attacking me with the chair until I couldn't straighten my back anymore.Adam seemed to recall something at that moment. He looked e

I realized what Adam and Lindsey were planning when a huge cake suddenly appeared in front of me. The next second, I was thrown right into it. The sweet cream was smeared all over me, leaving my entire body feeling sticky.The top of the cake crashed down, trapping me under it. The heavy cake covered the bottom half of my face, making me feel as if I was being suffocated again. The air in my lungs slowly ran out.I closed my eyes, accepting my fate. A wave of regret washed over me when I thought about how I shouldn't have stubbornly opposed my family and moved to Gramino alone to make a name for myself.Yet the thing I regretted the most was meeting Adam and falling madly in love with him. Perhaps I hadn't made the wrong decision—perhaps the problem was Adam himself. Maybe he'd been a demon from the very beginning, but I had foolishly tried to turn him into an angel.Scenes from my life rapidly flashed through my mind. I was surprised to realize that the memory I wanted to hold o

The people who had been boldly and arrogantly insulting me froze in an instant. Every single one of them had a gun barrel pressed to the back of their heads.The Smith family's butler, Jordan Shawcross, hurried toward me and helped me to my feet. He then respectfully nodded at me. "According to family rules, everyone who offended you will be flogged as punishment, Ms. Smith. They will also have to give you double the compensation since you were harmed."I nodded, causing the guests to scatter in all directions in terror in an attempt to flee the scene. I shot a look at Jordan, who immediately understood my intentions and raised his voice to bark an order. "Don't let any of them get away. Teach them a lesson they'll never forget about the consequences of offending Raineria's Smith family."The bodyguards, who were clad in suits, pulled out whips that were made of ox tail bone and metal beads from behind their backs. When they swung the whips down in unison, Adam's and Lindsey's b

As expected, there was a stark difference between being loved and unloved. However, Adam and Lindsey had no right to sacrifice me for the sake of their relationship.Just then, the deafening roar of an engine came from beyond the door. A few seconds later, an intimidating man stormed into the room. He pulled Adam aside before slapping Lindsey hard across her face."Did you really think a lowly wretch like you has the right to cling to the Herring family?" James Herring demanded.Adam hastily grabbed his father's leg, exclaiming, "I'm begging you, Dad. Please don't hurt her anymore. I truly love her and can't live without her."I had fallen out of love with Adam ages ago, but I couldn't help but feel a little bitter as I watched him plead for Lindsey. I wasn't being foolish, and I harbored no expectations of him. I just thought that it was unfair since he had betrayed me even though I had treated him so well and loved him with all my heart.Having run out of patience, James rolle

Mom looked at Freya, who had fallen to her knees and was trembling in fear, and coldly asked, "I heard that the Herring family is very influential in Gramino. Apparently, they can hurt and kill the heiress of the Smith family whenever they please, huh?"Freya lowered her head even more. Her voice was shaking when she stammered, "I-It's my fault for failing to teach my son properly. Please punish us as you see fit, Mrs. Smith. "But I only have one child. I'm willing to give up my own life to compensate Ms. Smith and appease your anger, Mrs. Smith. I just hope that you'll have mercy on my son."Adam's eyes immediately reddened. But it seemed that he still hadn't fully grasped just how terrifying Raineria's Smith family was. He crawled over to Freya and grabbed her, saying, "We're in Gramino, Mom. Why are you begging her? The Herring and Daley families are the ones who call the shots in Gramino. If you and Grandpa join forces, even ten Smith families wouldn't be able to do anything

"I'm begging you, Robin. Please have mercy on me," Adam said. "After all, we were married once."His sincerity was cheap and repulsive."Married?" I repeated, glancing at the fake marriage certificates on the ground that had been soaked in wine and trampled on dozens of times with a smile. "Are you referring to those scrap papers, Mr. Adam? Have you already forgotten your own words? What happened between the two of us was the result of my own youthful naivety. I let myself get bitten by a rabid stray. There's nothing more to it."I then walked over to Mom's side and respectfully said, "You can do whatever you want to them, Mom."Mom nodded, prompting the bodyguards to surge forward and attack Adam and James with their metal bats.Meanwhile, Lindsey was too scared to curse me out anymore, so she switched targets to Adam."It's all your fault. I wouldn't be in this predicament if you weren't so immoral and insisted on seducing me. I won't let you off the hook even after I turn in
