Repurposing My Anniversary Gift

After hanging up the call, I called my assistant and asked him to immediately divide the properties under my name and my husband's, Cedric Shelby. I wanted to minimize the losses of this situation.I immediately drove to the jewelry store. Just as I was about to get out of the car, I received a call from Cedric. "Honey, I just found out I have to go on a week-long business trip. It's so last minute that I can't spend our anniversary with you. There are also some problems with the company's cash flow, so could you transfer me $100 million?"I sneered and looked at the familiar figure in the jewelry store, replying, "Sure, but there's a transfer document that needs your signature. I'll send you the soft copy!"He immediately hung up the call. Looking at the signed contract, I got out of the car and headed straight for the jewelry store. As soon as I entered, I saw Queenie Steward, the heiress of the Steward family, sitting in the VIP room. When she saw me come in, a trace of disgust

I threw the marriage certificate at Cedric's face and roared, "Cedric, I'll ask you one last time. Who is your real wife?""Of course it's Queenie!" Cedric kicked my knee hard, pressing my head down and forcing me to apologize to Queenie.With a thud, blood started to gush out from my forehead.Cedric showed no restraint at all. Pulling my hair, he whispered in my ear, "Nicole, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being the adopted daughter of the Steward family!" He suddenly pressed my head hard against the ground.Looking at him in this new light, I could not stand it anymore. I took out my phone, ready to call the police. "Cedric, I'll make sure you regret this!"However, Queenie slapped my hand away before I could call the police. "Nicole, I knew you were shameless, but I never expected you to stoop so low. Being a mistress is one thing, but how dare you pretend to be someone else's legal wife! You're really shameless!"Her sharp nails grabbed my c

The car door opened, and it was my biological parents.Queenie looked at their faces, seeing my features mirrored in theirs. Her eyes revealed even more panic, but she still forced herself to stand in front of me and say haughtily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stand up for this wretch! I'm telling you, I'm the heiress of Steward Group and the mistress of Shelby Group. If you stand up for this wretch again, you won't be able to leave this street alive!"My father scoffed and pointed at her angrily, yelling, "Are you alone? Take a look in the mirror before you insult my daughter! How dare you act like a fool in public! Do you think you're safe from the law?"When my mother saw my miserable state, her eyes immediately reddened. "Nickie!" She held me in her arms and carefully examined the wounds on my body.I was covered in blood, and my vision was blurry. I could not hold back my tears any longer when I saw my real mother again.My mother held me in her arms with more conc

"There's solid evidence to charge you with intentional homicide and abandonment of Ms. Steward's daughter."Cedric looked at the indictment in his hand in disbelief and struggled to say, "Nicole, all of this is really a misunderstanding. Let me explain!"Unfortunately, no one wanted to listen to him.Even the lawyer methodically handed over the indictment to the police and added, "As for Mr. Steward, Mrs. Steward, and Ms. Queenie, my client, Ms. Nicole, charges you with child trafficking, intentional injury, and malicious dissemination of others' private information. We're suing you for defamation damages. Prepare to go to court!"Fiona's face turned deathly pale instantly. She turned to look at me with pleading eyes. "Nickie, my dear daughter. I know I did you wrong, but I really never thought of harming you! Please tell your parents to spare us. Your father and I are old. We won't survive if we go to prison! But if you really have a grudge, just take it out on me and your father.
