All Chapters of The Ugly Duckling: Rise of the Forsaken Wife: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

The night sky was clear, stars scattered across like fairy dust, and the moon shone brightly.In the park beside the apartment building, two shadows stretched long across the cement ground.Danice and Julian walked side by side. Now that they were out in the open, both of them fell silent with a lot in their mind.Danice was still thinking about the ambiguous atmosphere between them. After that accidental kiss in the private room, they had confessed their feelings. They liked each other, but because she still had knots in her heart and a past she couldn’t yet be truthful about, she had asked to take things slowly.After that, they kept in touch through messages. This was the first time they had met again since that incident. Now that their feelings were clear, it was difficult for both of them to remain composed.Julian, on the other hand, was thinking about how to bring up the Amberfords. He wanted to know how Danice viewed his real identity, but he hesitated. What if he heard the wo

Inside the dim room, Manager Fang held her phone tightly, reading the posts on the forum.After the competition, just as they were about to leave the venue, she received a call from the Dean. She and Sophia were summoned to the office immediately.Manager Fang had a bad premonition. The staff member she had bribed could not be contacted. She tried calling again. As she did, she overheard staff members who had just arrived at the parking lot gossiping nearby.“…Someone intentionally shut down the monitor…”“…The security room and the control room checked everyone… yeah… she’s been caught…”“They sure had guts. If not for that VIP, no one would’ve noticed the anomaly…”Their voices were faint, but Manager Fang caught enough. Her face turned pale.She immediately connected the dots and rushed to the car where Sophia was.“Bad news! The staff has been caught—” Just as she delivered the news to the shocked Sophia, several members of the security team approached their car.It turned out that

Ding.Ding.Ding.Continuous notifications rang from Danice’s phone.She had no idea who had spread her Insta account—the one she had casually created just to be added to the group chat by Aldrin and the others. Her account only had a profile picture of her in a judo uniform, no posts, and just six followers. Normally, it was completely silent, aside from group chat notifications.But today, her six followers grew to a dozen, then hundreds—until it climbed past a thousand.The worst part wasn’t the numbers. It was the messages.People kept messaging her nonstop. Most congratulated her and invited her to join clubs or organizations. Some invited her into their social circles. Others were more personal—praising her excessively, asking ridiculous questions, or hating her without reserve. In the end, Danice muted her notifications.But that didn’t stop everyone.Some people were especially persistent—especially by those who wanted something from her. They began sending emails, promoting t

The premiere was an official event that Danice took seriously. It was her first appearance in a film and her first official job as an actress. Naturally, she wanted to dress formally.However, as she pulled a dress from her wardrobe and caught sight of herself in the mirror, she paused.Her short hair was a mess, sticking out in every direction. Wearing a long-sleeved pajama set, she could easily be mistaken for a boy. She held the dress against her body and grimaced.She looked down at her arms. Though slender, they were well-toned.Wearing this dress… wouldn’t she look like a man in women’s clothing?She sighed and put the dress back—only for Jenny, who had just walked in through the open door, to grab her wrist.“This dress is good! Why are you putting it back?”“…It won’t suit me. My build isn’t made for dresses. And my hair—ugh. It won’t turn out well,” Danice said dejectedly.“Of course it won’t if you leave it to yourself,” Jenny replied. She had already heard from Danice the

An hour ago.Producer Daniel handed his seat number to Julian. His fingers trembled, and he quickly let go of the ticket to hide the shaking of his hand.“Thank you,” Julian said coolly. “As we have agreed, the Amberfords will advertise the film for thirty days. Consider it done.” His emotionless eyes settled on Producer Daniel, making him tremble unconsciously. “As I said, you may still ask one thing of me.”Advertising the film and helping it gain momentum in the industry was something Julian had already planned to do. He had not expected Producer Daniel to be so passionate about his work that he would use this one favor to benefit the entire cast. Thus, Julian kindly offered him another chance.Producer Daniel shook his head vigorously. “That’s all I really want. I know exactly how many resources—money and manpower—are needed for promotion and to keep a film on the movie listings for a whole month. I am beyond satisfied,” he said sincerely.Just one front-row ticket in exchange for
