"Lucy and Larry are truly a match made in heaven."The mention of Lucy by Aria made Susan sick to her stomach."How could Lucy possibly be worthy of him!""Then how is Larry worthy either?"If Lucy wasn't good enough for Larry, what makes Susan think that Larry is good enough for her?"Auntie Susan, you're a woman too—how can you not understand?" Aria's voice was heavy with emotion. "I've had enough.""Of course I remember my past with Larry. It's precisely because I remember that I'm truly fed up."Aria's voice carried an almost trembling quality."We practically grew up together. It's not like I never fantasized about the day I might marry Larry."I thought our marriage would be happy and fulfilling, but reality showed me that everything I imagined was just a beautiful dream."When Larry said he wanted to marry me, I could have refused. At that time, because of what happened with Linda, he said he wanted to marry me to trap me for life. I didn't believe him—I thought the bo
"Are you referring to how Professor Claire's invitation letter was carelessly discarded by him, leading me to believe I hadn't passed Claire's test, and forcing me to remain in the Spencer house as the so-called 'Spencer family daughter-in-law'?"Professor Claire was a famous international design genius. Back then, Aria had taken his test but never received an invitation notice, assuming her skills weren't good enough. With Larry constantly criticizing her work, she had given up hope. It wasn't until a year later that she found the long-expired international letter hidden in a compartment of her closet. All the messages from Claire's assistant in her email had been deleted by Larry.He had destroyed her dream, clipped her wings, and trapped her in the Spencer house to be his "well-behaved" Spencer family wife.Even Susan had heard of Professor Claire's name. She was momentarily speechless, completely unaware of this incident.She looked dazedly at Larry and asked in a low voice, "D
That person felt so upset that they took a screenshot and sent it to Larry's mother. Susan was already arguing with Marcus because Larry had suddenly been stripped of his position. After Larry stubbornly insisted on the divorce, she was so angry she nearly had a heart attack.At this point, she was still hoping Larry could reconcile with Aria and remarry her.There was no other reason—she knew exactly what kind of person her son was.Young women of good status wouldn't give him a second look, and women without status were beneath her consideration. Only Aria, who once came from a prominent family but had married into the Spencer family due to her family's decline, had to rely on the Spencers for survival.So from every angle, Aria was still the most suitable daughter-in-law for the Spencer family.Susan had already planned it out—once she persuaded Larry, she would have them get remarried.But when her friend told her Aria had remarried, it was like a bolt from the blue!Aria re
Archer let out a vague "hmm" and replied, "I'm nothing compared to you, who posts on social media just to announce you woke up at three in the afternoon, or writes a song about dreaming you turned into a lazy sheep being chased by a big bad wolf."Anson: "..."Aria: "?"Aria didn't usually follow celebrity gossip. Hearing Archer say this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. Was Anson really this bizarre?"That's completely different! I'm a celebrity, and celebrities need to stay active online!" Anson's face reddened."Active enough that everyone knows you're still watching children's cartoons?"Enough already, couldn't they move past this?Anson protested loudly, "We're different! At least I'm not showing off that I got married and have a wife.""That's because you don't have one," Archer replied coldly, his arrow hitting Anson right in the heart."Young male actors aren't allowed to date!" Anson exclaimed in frustration.Archer made another noncommittal sound, then turned
"That's my right as a grandmother! I finally have a daughter-in-law—can't I be happy about it? When they have their wedding, I'll show off even more," Marianne said with a smug expression. "And when Aaron gets married too, I'll parade both my daughters-in-law around the neighborhood together."Grandpa Duncan made a "hmph" sound. Though he complained out loud, he was secretly pleased.He didn't contradict Marianne but turned to Aria instead. "Let's set up a time to meet with your parents so we can all have dinner together. You two only got your marriage license—the families haven't even met yet."This sort of thing shouldn't happen without the parents knowing.Aria could only smile and agree.While waiting for dinner, Marianne received a phone call and went upstairs, with Grandpa following. Anson, who had been huddled in the corner building a Lego set, saw that the grandparents had left and beckoned to Aria. "Hey, come over here for a sec."Aria went over. Since she was wearing je
Sure enough, Marianne was so delighted she didn't even care about all the wrinkles showing on her face. "Soon, soon! We'll send you all wedding invitations when the time comes!"While they were chatting animatedly, Grandpa Duncan was completely absorbed in his chess game, so focused that he barely heard Marianne's words.Marianne glanced over, decided not to disturb him, and said, "Well, we'll be going now!"Watching Marianne lead Aria away and stop in front of a group of dancing friends, chatting with a radiant expression, David and Steven exchanged puzzled looks. Wasn't she here to call Old Duncan home for dinner?How could she leave without saying a single word to him?Meanwhile, Marianne pulled Aria over to the square dancing group. Because Marianne was highly respected here, these ladies stopped practicing as soon as she arrived."Mrs. Duncan, what brings you here?" they asked."Hehe, my granddaughter-in-law heard I love dancing, so she came with me to see," Marianne said c
