Chapter 1

On Twitter, a rich heir in Durmask, Richard Montague, suddenly posted an update with a picture of a top-tier winery. He wrote, "My wife likes it, so I'm buying it right now."

I clicked on the picture and realized it was Amie Winery, the same one I had casually mentioned to him last week. It was the place where Richard and I had held our wedding, and with our eighth anniversary approaching, I had suggested that we revisit the winery. I never expected that he would go ahead and buy it.

I laughed and commented, "Nice. How thoughtful of you!"

The post quickly attracted a lot of attention.

"Huh? Is Madelyn Stone dropping a hint?"

"Is Madelyn his wife? Amie Winery is one of the top ten wineries in the world. Richard is truly indulgent!"

As soon as I posted my comment, netizens began digging through my Twitter, and numerous posts I had made over the years were unearthed.

Soon, the topic of Richard and my marriage shot to the top of the trending list. Just as the attention peaked, one of the recent rising stars, Kiara York, posted a tweet.

"My husband's so generous. I'm super happy."

Looking closer, I saw she had tagged the exact same place—Amie Winery. We had posted similar comments about the same brand.

At that moment, I wasn't the only one confused. Everyone around me was as well.

Realizing that Kiara was riding the wave of the trending topic, I felt my anger surge, and I quickly posted a picture of my marriage certificate.

"If she's the wife, then who am I?" I typed.

Kiara didn't back down. Without missing a beat, she posted her own marriage certificate and photo. Sure enough, the man in the photo was none other than my husband.

She commented sarcastically, "You should know your place before putting on an act like that. I'm legally married to Rick, and this isn't some random photoshopped image! Amie Winery was purchased as a gift for me by my husband. Without a multi-billion-dollar fortune, you can't even dream of acquiring it. How dare you make false claims?"

Looking at the man in the photo, who looked exactly like my husband, I was stunned. I couldn't help but ask her, "Are you sure the man in that photo is the real Richard Montague?"

Kiara didn't hesitate. She bombarded me with responses.

"Do you think I'm blind and can't tell the difference?"

"Let me show you more evidence! I've got the winery acquisition contract!"

I clicked on the photo she sent, and sure enough, it was the acquisition contract for Amie Winery.

Since Richard had been planning a surprise for me, I hadn't had the chance to see the document before. But how did she have it?

Seeing the contract, the netizens who had been rooting for me just moments ago started to turn on me.

"Turns out Kiara is the real wife! No wonder Montague Group cast her as the female lead in their next movie!"

"I just knew the rich heir in Durmask wouldn't go for a small-time actress. Kiara's way more attractive than Madelyn. Hell, even a dog would know who to choose!"

"She tried to ride the hype, but now she's up against the real wife. How shameless!"

I gritted my teeth and carefully compared both marriage certificates. I noticed that Kiara's registration date was August 10th, 2024.

After checking Richard's schedule, I realized that on that day, he was vacationing with me overseas. There was no way he could've come back to marry someone else.

But why did both marriage certificates feature the same man? And how did Kiara get her hands on the contract?

I asked, "Ms. York, I don't know what you've done, but stealing private documents is illegal!"

Furious, she immediately started a live on Twitter.

At that very moment, she was at a high-class event at Amie Winery, wearing an elegant evening gown.

Upon a closer look, I could see the decor and signature murals. It was definitely Amie Winery.

Even more shocking was that the man she was holding on to was my husband, Richard!
