  • No Longer Your Bride   Chapter 10

    The moment Helen spotted Wendy, she grabbed Wendy and tore into her right in front of everyone."You shameless wretch! You’re just like those two hypocritical old frauds who raised you!"Ruining my legs eight years ago wasn't enough for you? How dare you keep clinging to my son?!"Wendy screamed, shielding her face as she violently shoved the older woman away."You miserable cripple, you deserved it! You're the source of every single bit of my misfortune!"I used to call you godmother, and you told me yourself you wanted me to be your daughter-in-law. But when my family went bankrupt and I begged you for help, you did nothing but look down on me!"If you had just let me marry your son, I would never have gone abroad, I wouldn't have been buried in debt, and I certainly wouldn't have become a mistress and had a child just for a payout!"Helen pointed a trembling, furious finger at her."Your parents backstabbed the Vances first, costing our company hundreds of millions in losses

    Shawn couldn't suppress the trending topics.Left with no other choice, he took to social media to distance himself from Wendy, firmly declaring that he would absolutely never marry her. Fearing that Vance Group’s reputation would continue to tank, his father and the board of directors officially suspended Shawn from all his duties.With the dust settling, Oliver and I returned to the Vances' estate.As the shareholder holding the largest stake in the company, Oliver stepped up at the perfect timing and took control of the situation. Gerald fought it at first, knowing that his biological son wouldn't be easy to control. Years ago, he had been the one to discard Oliver, refusing to recognize him. Now, he was terrified Oliver held a grudge and would cut off his funds. Yet, forced by the sheer weight of the crisis, he had no real choice. Swallowing his bitter resentment, he signed the agreement Oliver placed in front of him.On the day of the banquet welcoming Oliver back to t

  • No Longer Your Bride   Chapter 8

    Oliver was the one who saved me when I was a child.When I was kidnapped and taken into the mountains at five years old, I saw firsthand how brutally the traffickers abused the other children and women, leaving me with long-lasting trauma.My family was terrified of triggering those memories, so they never brought up anyone or anything related to the kidnapping around me.But my dad had been quietly funding Oliver all along, hiring specialists to mentor him when he noticed Oliver's sharp mind for business. That continued right up until he was finally recognized and brought back by the Carters.Ever since I was little, I remembered a classmate who always wore a face mask and walked the exact same route to school as me. Now, that boy's silhouette perfectly overlapped with the man standing in front of me. When I asked Oliver about it, he gave a quiet nod."I didn't really have any family growing up," he said. "It was Mr. Kingsley who rescued me from those mountains, paid for my edu

    Shawn's face darkened instantly. It was clear to him now that Oliver was the mastermind behind all the recent trouble at Vance Group.He reached a hand out toward me, his voice trembling."Rory, come here. You know his true identity, don't you?"He only married you to get revenge on me. Don't let him deceive you."I didn't move."We're over, Shawn. It's none of your business who I marry."As if stung by my cold, indifferent tone, Shawn lunged forward and grabbed my arm."Just come home for now. It's all just a misunderstanding."Oliver's eyes turned icy, and he landed several sharp blows on Shawn."Who gave you the right to lay a hand on Rory?"Hearing those words, Shawn didn't even try to fight back. Oliver shook out his hand, looking thoroughly satisfied."Grandfather's shares are in my hands. Are you going to step down from the Vance Group on your own, or should I force your hand?"Oliver was now officially the largest shareholder in the Vance Group.Shawn wiped a trace

The wedding dress, along with all the high-end gifts in their luxury boxes, had been left intact with management, who now handed them over to Shawn. Only then did Shawn finally realize that beneath my shifting moods, I had been quietly planning my departure all along."This can't be real, right? Rory would never marry someone else. She promised she'd marry me. That live broadcast has to be fake!"He suddenly recalled the words I hadn't gotten to finish on the day I resigned, along with the flat, distant look in my eyes, along with the fact that he had deliberately ignored my own injuries in his flash of anger. The terrifying realization that the wedding was real, and that I had cut my ties to this city completely sent a wave of abso

    "Shawn, I've actually recovered some of my memories."The gasps from the crowd completely drowned out Wendy's voice, and she was left waiting for a response that never came.Just as she was beginning to feel confused, the handful of friends who had been invited as guests lost it.They pointed at the giant screen across the street, their faces filled with sheer disbelief."Isn't that Rory?""Wait, isn't this the wedding for the daughter of Northern City's wealthiest tycoon? Why is she the one up there?"They quickly whipped out their phones, checking the live stream over and over again to confirm."It really is Rory! Who on earth is she marrying?"As the camera angle shifted on the screen, it captured the grandeur at the venue."The groom's profile looks incredibly handsome."The venue was packed full of guests. Wedding vows had just concluded, so everyone was clapping and cheering as the couple on screen exchanged rings.But at the shabby hotel, there were only a few scatter
