Chapter 2

Author: Double Cauldron
"I thought about letting you off the hook for the sake of girl code, but I never expected you to come to me. How disgusting!"

I forced myself to stay calm and was just about to refute.

Queenie immediately took out her phone and dialed Cedric's number. As soon as she got through, she put him on speaker.

The next second, Cedric's voice came from the other end of the line. "Babe, aren't you browsing the jewelry right now? Why are you calling me?"

Queenie said smugly, "Cedric, someone's claiming to be your legal wife, and she's going to take me to court. I'm so scared!"

After the call was hung up, Queenie walked to my side and said with a 'kind' face, "Nicole, considering our past relationship, I'll generously let you off the hook as long as you kneel and beg me. Otherwise, I'll see how my hubby deals with you when he comes over!"

It was the most outrageous request I had ever heard. I burst into laughter and shook my head, asking, "Who do you think you are?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Queenie's eyes before she walked aggrievedly toward the door and grabbed Cedric's sleeve, saying, "Cedric, she would've bullied me to death if you had come any later!"

Upon hearing that Queenie had been bullied, Cedric immediately asked in a deep voice, "Who dares to bully you? Do they have a death wish?"

A hint of smugness glinted in Queenie's eyes as she dragged Cedric to my side. "It was her!"

Cedric looked up, and a flicker of panic crossed his eyes the moment he saw me. He quickly forced himself to regain his composure. Shielding Queenie behind him, he demanded bluntly, "Nicole, how could you be so shameless, daring to impersonate my legal wife in front of everyone? Don't you know I only love Queenie?"

A hint of mockery flashed in my eyes. "Sorry, this is the first time I'm hearing about this!"

Seeing this, the surrounding henchmen immediately rushed to Queenie's aid.

"Mr. Shelby, you're finally here! This wretch not only claims to be your legal wife, but she also said she'll take Queenie to court!"

"That's right! She not only insulted us, but she also tried to lay a hand on Queenie!"

They twisted the truth, portraying Queenie as a wronged and innocent lady.

Cedric walked right up to me and slapped me hard across the face. "Who do you think you are? How dare you lay a hand on Queenie!"

I covered my face, staring at him in disbelief.

Over the past few years, he was always the first to give in and feign gentleness and thoughtfulness even when we argued, which had made me overlook his flaws.

"Cedric, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

A flicker of guilt flashed in Cedric's eyes, but only for a moment. He solemnly swore to Queenie, "Babe, don't worry. How could I be with such a sl*t? You're my only wife."

Seeing Cedric groveling like a dog, when he used to act so gentlemanly to me, disgusted me.

He quickly walked over to me, grabbed my clothes, and forced me to the ground. "Didn't you hear what my wife said? She told you to kneel and beg, so hurry up and do it!"

  • Repurposing My Anniversary Gift   Chapter 8

    My father walked up to me and said firmly, "Nickie, don't worry. We will get justice for you!"I nodded slightly and followed my parents out of the cemetery.I was almost in good health by the time the court session began.Through the massive crowd, my old family looked at me frantically.Although Harold was handcuffed, he still shouted, "Nicole, even if we trafficked you, we raised you. What right do you have to call the police and arrest us? You heartless and ungrateful monster. You b*tch!"Fiona was also teary-eyed as she looked at me, pleading. "Nickie, we truly love you. I'm sorry that our methods weren't always right. I beg you, please give us another chance for the sake of our past relationship. Even if you can't let me go, please spare Queenie. She really knows nothing. She's innocent!"However, Queenie showed no restraint as she rushed to my side, pointed at me, and cursed, "You b*tch! You stole my status as an heiress and even tried to send our family to prison. You're

  • Repurposing My Anniversary Gift   Chapter 7

    "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.

    The air seemed to freeze.Cedric was the first to react. He quickly walked toward me and asked, "Honey, are you okay?"I wiped the blood from the corner of my eye, shook off his hand, slapped him in the face, and pointed at the panicked Queenie, saying, "You've got it wrong. I'm not your wife. Queenie is!"Queenie's minions and the staff who had bullied me all wore fearful and guilty expressions. Some timid staff members even tried to sneak out through the back door, but were all arrested by the police. They could only kneel on the ground and explain, "Ms. Steward, there's nothing we can do!""Yeah! That woman forced us to do this. We wouldn't dare to do this even if we had ten times the courage. Please let us go! If I leave a criminal record, I'll be expelled from school.""Ms. Steward, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! We're victims too!"I shook my head and refused.The staff could claim that they had no choice but to go along with Queenie for the sake of their work, but her minio

    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

    "What do you mean?"Queenie bent over, grabbed my neck, and said, "You fool! I didn't get lost. My parents thought you were lucky and bought you as their adopted daughter at a high price to take advantage of your luck. You think you're married to Cedric, but my parents sold you to the Shelby family for $50 million to make use of your last bit of value and revive the Shelby family!"She got up and motioned for me to look at the big screen behind her.I looked up and saw countless private photographs of myself flashing on the big screen, accompanied by revolting sounds.Nearby passers-by stopped to watch. Some even took out their phones and dialed the contact information on the screen. My phone was instantly flooded with calls.My face paled as I declined those calls to call the police.However, Queenie snatched my phone and threw it on the ground without the slightest hesitation.The screen shattered instantly, and the glass shards even cut through my skin.Still, Queenie was no

    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
