Chapter 5

Author: Lily
When the little girl saw the blood on my wrist, her eyes widened in horror.

"Mommy, you're bleeding!" she cried anxiously. "Who hurt you? Daddy! Someone hurt Mommy! Come quickly! She's bleeding a lot!"

Her voice rang through the room like a thunderclap, instantly drawing everyone's attention. The previously bustling banquet hall fell into an eerie silence as every guest turned toward us.

I noticed Oliver's and Angela's faces immediately turning pale.

Those guests who had just joined Angela in dragging me around began trembling, not daring to utter a single word.

"It's alright. I just accidentally hurt myself. Come, let me hug you..."

I wrapped my arms around my daughter, Daisy Holden, pulling her into a big hug.

She clutched my hand tightly, tears streaming down her little face.

A second later, she lifted her head and glared fiercely at the people behind me. "It was you, wasn't it? You hurt Mommy! Just you wait! I'll ask Daddy to check the security footage! Anyone who hurts Mom

    When Daniel didn't rise to his bait, Oliver frowned, clearly annoyed.He opened his mouth, ready to say something else and try to provoke Daniel. However, before he could get a word out, Daisy jumped right in with her sharp little tongue.She crossed her arms, looking Oliver up and down with disdain. "So you want my mommy to be a housewife? Are you sure you can even afford that? The suit you're wearing probably costs less than one of my hair clips."Honestly, if you added up everything you own, it still wouldn't be enough to buy one of my daddy's dress shoes. And you think you can take care of my mommy? Please! You even wanted her to work as a janitor?"Listen here. My mommy has never had to lift a finger at home. You really think she should get her hands dirty? Keep dreaming!"She cast another dismissive glance at Oliver. "You're nothing compared to my daddy. You wouldn't even have a salary if my dad weren't signing your paychecks, so maybe you should stop embarrassing yourself!"

    I pointed straight at Angela, accusing her in front of everyone.She was so terrified that she kept bowing and apologizing, stumbling over her words as she tried to beg for my forgiveness.Meanwhile, Oliver's friends looked scared, their faces ghostly pale as they quickly apologized to me.None of them could have imagined that the timid orphan they once looked down on would end up as the wife of the Holden Group's CEO.It was even more shocking to them that they had mocked me just yesterday for being unwanted and unemployed, only to find out today that I was married to a man worth billions.Regret filled their faces as they almost wanted to slap themselves for not recognizing the necklace I wore, which clearly signified that I was Daniel's wife.It wasn't long before the family doctor arrived to tend to my injuries.I flinched as the disinfectant burned against my skin.Seeing this, Daisy glared fiercely at the doctor. "Can you be gentler? My mommy's in pain!" she scolded.I g

    Oliver angrily grabbed my arm and pulled me back."What do you mean we're not close? I already agreed to have another wedding with you. Who exactly are you throwing this tantrum for?"I shook off his hand. "Oliver, we broke up three years ago! I don't want to have a wedding with you! Stay away from me! I wouldn't want my husband to misunderstand."Oliver laughed mockingly at my words. "Husband? You're married? Jessica, stop playing hard to get just to get my attention. I'll give you the fairytale wedding you always dreamed of, and with the wedding dress you wanted."This time, the wedding will be even grander than three years ago! Now that I'm the general manager of the company's branch, money is not a problem!"Mr. Holden is hosting a business banquet tomorrow evening. I'll bring you along and introduce you as my fiancee." He held out the check again. "Take this and buy yourself a decent evening gown. Don't embarrass me!"I smiled and pushed the check back to him. "Thanks, but I

    Oliver looked down at me with a look of disgust."Jessica, you disappeared for three years and came back even more shameless. Not only are you wearing a fake necklace, but you even had the nerve to say Mr. Holden gave it to you. You're just making things up!"I can put up with your tantrums, but you should've never made up a story about being with Mr. Holden. That's crossing the line. He bought that necklace for his wife, not for you!"Jessica, watch your mouth! Stop spreading these ridiculous lies! We're here to pick up Mrs. Holden and leave a good impression on her. If she hears you making up stuff about being with Mr. Holden, don't think I'll let it slide.Oliver's friends also glared at me and began criticizing me."Oliver worked so hard to become the general manager of Holden Group's Stonevale branch. That's the only reason we even got a chance to join the company. And now, you're here causing trouble! Are you trying to get him fired?"I sat on the ground, wiping away the bl

    I couldn't be bothered to waste my breath with them, so I released my suitcase. As a result, it rolled toward them. I calmly mentioned, "Since you're here to pick me up, let's go. You can take me back to the hotel."As soon as the words left my mouth, they stared at me with mouths agape, looking like I had lost my mind. Then, they immediately burst into mocking laughter."Are you insane? Don't you see that Oliver is here to pick up Ms. Samantha Miller? She's the wife of Holden Group's CEO.""Expecting us to take you to the hotel? Who do you think you are?"Angela covered her mouth, her eyes filled with scorn as she looked me up and down. "Do you really think you deserve for Oliver to personally take you to the hotel? "Seriously, do you even know how to read the name on the sign? We're here to pick her up, not you. You sure think highly of yourself!"I nodded. Of course, I recognized my own name."Mrs. Holden is the absolute apple of Mr. Holden's eye.""People always say, if yo
