All Chapters of My Parents Want Me To Marry A Broke Man: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

“Stella, Nancy, you two need to draw lots.“Even though the Goodwin family has gone bankrupt, we still need to fulfill the marriage arrangement set in the past.”George was my father. His voice was so familiar that it almost hurt to hear it.I lowered my head and stared at my soft, unblemished hands. They did not have calluses from years of hard labor or scars from frostbite. The date on the calendar hanging on the wall showed a time from two years ago. I had returned to the past. I had returned to the very day when the lot would decide my fate!“Stella, I’ll draw first.” My younger sister, Nancy, interrupted my thoughts with her sweet and gentle voice.She flashed me an innocent-looking smile. She reached for the sticks in George’s hand.That was exactly how it happened in my previous life. She had feigned innocence despite already knowing which one was the long stick.“Hold on. Let me draw first.” I grabbed her wrist so firmly that her eyes widened in shock.My mother, Cath

The wedding dress was so tight that I could barely breathe.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. I was wrapped in a snow-white gown. I looked exactly like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Nancy tilted her head and smiled at me. “Stella, you look beautiful today.”I stared at her fake smile in the mirror. I returned the same smile and said, “Thank you, Nancy.”I heard noises coming from downstairs. The wedding convoy had arrived.I turned around and took the bouquet from the dresser. I brushed my fingers over the metal hidden beneath the white roses.I had prepared a folding knife last night.I sucked in a deep breath. Then, I lifted my heavy hem of the gown and headed downstairs.Alfred stood at the door. A tacky red flower was pinned to his chest.When he saw me, the corners of his lips curved upward. The next moment, he shot a glance at Nancy, who stood behind me.At that instant, the memories from my previous life flooded my mind like a tide.Appar

After joining Faber’s Corporation, I quickly secured my position in the department with the experience I carried from my previous life.Within a month, I accurately predicted the surge of three little-known stocks.Marcus began to frequently show up in my project meetings. But he never interfered with any of my decisions.One day, after I submitted an analysis report on the overseas market, Marcus personally came to my desk. He rapped his slender and well-defined fingers on my desk.“Meet you at Sky Diner at seven o’clock tonight. Bring along your data models.”His tone was even. But it left no room for refusal.That dinner felt like sitting on pins and needles.Marcus gracefully cut his steak. He occasionally threw some insightful questions at me that forced me to justify every detail of my report.When dessert was served, he finally showed a hint of satisfaction.He lifted his glass of wine and took a slow sip. “Your assessment is very accurate. From next week onward, you’ll

“What are you doing?!” I questioned Nancy sharply.She did not answer me. She simply lowered her head and started typing quickly.After a few moments, she showed me the phone screen.[Come pick me up at the Evans’ family mansion.]Nancy sent the message to Marcus.I froze. “Nancy, what exactly are you trying to do?!”She chuckled without replying to me. She turned around and switched on the projector in the living hall. Alfred cooperatively took out the surveillance camera. He placed the surveillance camera at the Evans’ family mansion main entrance.After that, I watched with my own eyes as Nancy walked into the makeup room on the first floor.After half an hour, I saw my doppelganger walk out of it. Nancy had put on the same hairstyle and makeup as mine. She even wore some old clothes that I had left behind during my university days.She practiced my facial expressions several times in front of the mirror. Then, she showed an “okay” gesture at Alfred.“Perfect,” Alfred

“Mom,” I snorted. “Didn’t you say raising me all these years was a huge loss?”George and Catherine’s faces turned as white as sheets.Just then, Nancy barged in and pushed George and Catherine away.“Mom, Dad, why are you begging her?”She lifted her chin and swept a glance across me disdainfully. “She’s only where she is today because she slept her way into Marcus’ bed. I’m prettier than her. I can do it too.”George’s expression instantly changed. He pointed at me and scolded, “You ungrateful brat! Nancy’s right. You’re nothing but a thankless and heartless thing! After all the years we’ve brought you up, you simply intend to stand there and watch us go bankrupt!”Catherine wiped away her tears and chimed in, “Nancy’s a good girl. She always thinks about the family. Unlike you, you turn your back on us the moment you get a little success!”I got so annoyed that I pressed the intercom button. “Security, please escort these troublemakers out.”George immediately flew into a fi
