Chapter 1 Murdering His Own Wife

Although it was the dead of night, all the lights were brightly lit at Miller Villa. Yvonne Miller sat at the dressing table in her wedding gown. She carefully hid the terrible scar on her left cheek with her bridal veil. That looked much better. Today was supposed to be her big day as she was marrying into the Anderson family. However, the voices outside her door were getting on her nerves. "Mother, will the Anderson family really accept a country bumpkin like her into their family?""What else can we do? Would you rather marry that blind man?"Kayla Jones frowned and pouted as she looked at her mother, Monica Langley. "No way! A blind man like Stephen is useless to me! I won't ruin my future by marrying him!" Stephen Anderson was not only blind; he was also sickly and needed to take countless medications every day. With his condition, there was no telling how much longer he'd live. Kayla didn't want to be a widow at such a young age. Before Monica could reply, the door op

Chapter 2 We’re a Perfect Match

When she heard Stephen’s words, Yvonne smirked. "Throwing shade on yourself to mock me, huh? You’re quite ruthless yourself." "You..." Stephen frowned. "Thomas sold you off to pay his debt. Why aren’t you resentful? You even seem to be happy about it. How dumb can you be?""I heard he owed your family 100 million dollars. I never thought I'd be worth that much myself."Yvonne tiptoed around the mess Stephen had made and smiled at him sweetly. "If I understand what you mean—I’m just a commodity to be sold. Since you wish to return me, you should look for the man who agreed to the deal in the first place. Why are you venting your anger on me?" "You..." Stephen struggled to think of a retort. He could already imagine the smug look on the woman's face. While he was at a loss for words, Yvonne took the opportunity to discuss the matter at hand. "Actually, I'm not Kayla Jones. My name's Yvonne Miller. I'm the daughter Thomas had with his first wife and the heiress of the Miller famil

Chapter 3 An Inferior Substitute

The next day, Stephen was awakened by a commotion outside. Frowning, he opened his eyes. As expected, he still couldn’t see anything. He should have stopped hoping for a miracle anyway. Stephen groped his way out of bed. The soreness in the back of his neck reminded him that last night wasn't a dream. He gritted his teeth in anger. How dare that woman lay her hands on him? She was looking for trouble! "The Jones family really had the nerve to send such an ugly woman to deceive our family. They must've thought that I’m an old lady with one foot in the grave! Send this woman back to where she belongs at once. Tell the Jones that if they don't pay back the money by today, I'll come after them!" Stephen could hear every word coming from the courtyard clearly as the glass door to his balcony was open. It seemed his grandmother, Elizabeth Anderson, had discovered that the Jones family sent an inferior substitute to be Stephen’s wife. Since becoming blind, Stephen had lost all inter

Chapter 4 He Could Wait for Seven Days

Returning to Stephen’s room, Yvonne walked straight toward him. There was no hint of pain or sadness on her face. "Thank you for speaking up for me, Stephen," she said.Before Yvonne could react, Stephen placed an iron grip around her neck and pinned her against the wall. Yvonne didn't resist and stared at him with interest. "Have you made up your mind? When can we register our marriage?"Stephen asked sternly, "What do you want?" He was highly guarded and wary of anyone who tried to force their way into his world. Furthermore, Stephen’s gut told him that Yvonne was no simple woman. "If you don't tell me the truth, I can make you disappear from this world without a trace," he threatened.Yvonne knew that she was playing with fire, but she showed no sign of fear. She reached out and touched Stephen’s eyes. "Would you be interested if I told you that I could restore your sight as long as you promised to marry me?"Stephen grabbed Yvonne's hand and asked, "Do you know what happens

Chapter 5 An Uneducated Country Bumpkin

In less than three days, Elizabeth had collected all the available information on Yvonne. Despite the minuscule amount of data, she was infuriated. "The Jones family really didn't take us seriously! That woman isn't merely ugly; she didn’t even graduate from high school! She's just an uneducated country bumpkin!"This time, Camille was speechless as well. Yvonne’s background and appearance were truly an insult to the Anderson family’s reputation.Elizabeth slammed the table. "Let’s go right now! Get a few strong men and take that ugly woman with us! We're going to Miller Villa!"Meanwhile, the Jones family at Miller Villa was unaware of the storm that was about to hit."Thomas, don’t you think that I gave you a good idea? I told you that the Anderson family's blind son wasn’t in a position to pick and choose. No matter who we send to them, they'll accept her willingly."Monica was quite pleased with herself. "I even managed to keep Kayla safe. With her sharp mind and beauty, she

Chapter 6 A Newlywed Couple Enamored With Each Other

"Monica!" Thomas tried to stop her in dismay. "Very well!" Elizabeth laughed mockingly, clapping her hands. "I can finally see why your daughter's such a spoiled brat. Like mother, like daughter."Elizabeth had been doubtful when Yvonne tearfully told her what had actually happened a few days ago. Yet she was fully convinced now. Monica was not only materialistic but also a cruel and despicable woman. "Men, hold this woman down and slap her so that she knows her place!" Elizabeth ordered, and two bodyguards rushed forward. One held Monica down while the other slapped her ruthlessly. Monica’s screams and the sound of the slaps echoed in the living room while Kayla cried and begged them to stop. Yvonne was secretly enjoying the satisfaction. It was a shame that she couldn’t personally lend a hand in beating Monica up. At this moment, a Rolls-Royce entered the courtyard. The license plate seemed very familiar to the bodyguards stationed outside. A man stepped out of the car. Wh

Chapter 7 There Will Be No Next Time

Thomas went to his study and returned with a box made out of redwood. He handed it over to Yvonne.Yvonne smiled and obediently said, "Thank you, Father."Thomas gritted his teeth. "No need to thank me. Just make sure you live happily with Mr. Anderson." In other words, once she took the gift, she should never return home again. Yvonne had no intention of following his wishes. This was only the start of her revenge. She said teasingly, "Don't worry, I'll bring Mr. Anderson home to visit both of you often."Thomas was so mad that his expression became stormy.In the car, Stephen stretched out his hand. "What did you get from your father?""It’s my late mother’s last masterpiece, a ruby necklace," Yvonne replied.She opened the box. A luxurious and extravagant ruby necklace, Treasured Love, was lying inside. It had finally returned to her after so many years! But when Yvonne remembered that her mother's love for Thomas had inspired the creation of this necklace, she slammed the b

Chapter 8 Someone Easier to Control

At Anderson Mansion. Elizabeth was still emotional about what happened at Miller Villa. When she met Camille after returning home, she didn’t even greet her and stalked back to her own room instead. Camille followed after Elizabeth, asking curiously, "Mother, did Stephen really go to bring Yvonne back?" Elizabeth nodded in reply and exclaimed indignantly, "I really don't know what's wrong with Stephen. How could he take that ugly monster’s side?""It seems that Stephen's serious about this."Camille hid the disdain in her voice and put on the air of a cultured and virtuous lady. "Mother, I thought about this situation carefully after you left. This isn't necessarily a bad thing."Elizabeth couldn't understand it. "Not a bad thing? Our family’s reputation will be completely ruined! If the public found out that Stephen married an uneducated and ugly wife, it would be the joke of the town!""The reason you arranged a wife for Stephen was because you wanted him to have an heir, ri

Chapter 9 Did All of You See It

Now that Yvonne knew of the woman's hypocrisy, she thought the smile on Camille’s face looked chilling. On the other hand, Stephen didn't react at all. He sat there quietly, waiting to see what tricks Yvonne had up her sleeve. The next second, a cry pierced everyone's ears. "What! How could you? How could you install surveillance cameras in someone’s bedroom? Isn’t this the work of a pervert?" Yvonne screamed, horrified at the sight of the maintenance worker climbing up the stairs, acting as if she'd just discovered that the cameras were installed in the bedroom ceiling. The loud scream shocked everyone present. The maintenance workers looked at each other and turned to Camille. Camille recovered from the surprise and said awkwardly, "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you earlier. The surveillance cameras in the bedroom were installed after Stephen went blind, mainly for his safety.""What about... what about what happened on our wedding night? Did all of you see it?" Yvo

Chapter 10 An Ungrateful Person

"No, it was her daughter, Kayla. It happened a long time ago, so there's no need to discuss it. By the way, what about the medication?" Yvonne didn’t want to talk about the scar, so she changed the subject.Stephen fell silent. "A doctor I trust prescribed it.""What makes you so sure that he wouldn't betray you?" Throughout the years, Yvonne had witnessed too many betrayals, making her despise the word "trust.""He wouldn't." Stephen was very certain. After all, Dr. Austin Parker had been his mother’s best friend before she passed away. For years, Dr. Austin had treated him well—better than his own father, Charles.That was why Stephen allowed Dr. Austin to take care of him after the accident and why he'd never suspected the medication. If it weren’t for Yvonne, he would've never thought that there was something wrong with it."Fine, I won’t argue with you," Yvonne said, spreading her hands. "If there is no problem with the doctor and the medication he prescribed, then it must be
