Chapter 1

I had returned from overseas to attend my foster son's wedding, already wearing my dress for the evening.My high school classmates recognized me right away, pointing and laughing."Isn't that the copycat from our class? You used to copy everything Ruby wore, and you're still doing it today! Do you have any idea what today’s occasion is?"They tore my dress off me without saying another word.Ruby Saunders acted apologetic, but the look she threw at me was savage. "I'm so sorry, Chloe. I tolerated you back then when you copied the way I dressed, but today is my wedding day. I can't let you continue stealing my style any longer.”She instigated her group of underlings to strip me in public. I struggled to escape, but she slapped me so hard that I fell to the ground. I shut my eyes and sniggered when I saw how savagely excited she was. Ruby was the one who had copied me, not the other way around, but whenever she accused me, I would just endure it.This time, however, I would not

Chapter 2

I looked incredulously at the dress I was wearing. It was designed for the wedding toast and looked low-profile yet respectful. It was not that similar to the dress Ruby had on.Moreover, her makeup had been done by celebrity makeup artists who helped make her bridal makeover look exquisite. Anyone who was not blind could tell right away that she was the bride. How could I be stealing her limelight?I frowned. I did not want to waste time arguing with them. "I'm wearing an official dress for the wedding toast. It's not appropriate to take it off." Before I could leave, Ruby suddenly grabbed my hand. She cried pitifully while tearing off my dress. "You heard what she said, everyone. She said it's an official dress for the wedding toast. She did this on purpose! I would’ve tolerated this on other days, but this is my wedding day! How can I let this slide?" When she grabbed my collar, she deliberately scratched me violently with her sharp, manicured nails. Blood splattered everywher

Chapter 3

Everyone instantly hushed as they looked worriedly between Ruby and me.Sam was the high school heartthrob. Everyone knew that he had a crush on me back then. He was also the reason why Ruby copied my fashion style. It was because she had a crush on him. Her expression turned savage as she coldly called for the taunting to stop.I thought the torture had finally ended, and I could have a moment of peace. I struggled to get up by holding onto the table leg and attempting to run out of the room, but the moment I touched the table, Ruby kicked me down. I fell heavily to the floor.The sound of leather shoes stomping toward us became louder. Ruby grabbed my hair to reveal my injured face. "Guess who this is, Sam. This b*tch tried to compare who looks better by wearing the same dress I did. Who do you think is prettier? Me or her?"Ruby grabbed my cheek and patted it with the back of her hand, chuckling playfully. Sam looked at my face carefully with a cold look in his eyes. He was sudd

Chapter 4

Ruby let out a long, satisfied sigh. Her ego had been greatly fed today.My eyes turned red as I trembled. Back in high school, she used to make me her imaginary enemy, turning her group against me. However, their bullying had been limited to avoiding me and saying nasty things about me to everyone they knew, which did not affect me that much.I did not expect her to become even worse after finding out she would be marrying into the richest family in Lark City. My teeth almost broke from how furiously I was clenching my jaw, and I tightened my fists.Ruby Saunders! Now that I was going to become her mother-in-law, I could not let her bully me anymore, or I would be unworthy of the Henderson name. Her lackeys started to surround me. I knew that there were too many people against me. All I could do was listen carefully to whatever was happening outside the hall. Once a bodyguard passed by, I would immediately call for help.That was when Ruby suddenly crouched to the ground to pick

Chapter 5

Ruby's besties were also commenting shrilly with malevolence. "That must be a photoshopped job. That vixen has gone crazy thinking about men!""Who do you think you are to want Lark City's Connor Milford? Only someone as elegant and noble as Ruby is worthy of the Milfords. Have you gone crazy imitating her? Do you think you're good enough?!"Insults came flooding toward me, but I had no way of explaining myself as I was gagged. All I could do was grunt. However, they probably would not have listened even if I could speak.Ruby continued scrolling through my phone. She did not find any other information, aside from a few photographs I had taken with others. However, her anger did not subside. She glared at me savagely and looked like she was about to smash my phone.I tried to beg her through my gag as I crawled over to her with my hands frantically reaching out to her. Tears were about to flow from my eyes again.All Ruby did was burst out into a laugh. She ignored my begging an

Chapter 6

Everyone immediately worked together to block Connor’s view of me as they stood in front of me frantically to greet him. "Hello, Mr. Milford!"Connor's expression cooled when he saw how messy the room looked. His curt words sent chills down everyone's spines. "What happened here? Why is it so messy?"Ruby was the first to snap out of it. She smiled coquettishly. "It's nothing. I was just having some fun with my friends.""Why is there someone lying down behind you?"I could not make any noise with the gag in my mouth. Ruby took the opportunity to make up stories to smear my name. "Oh, sweetie, that's just a slutty vixen. You have no idea how horrible she is. She's trying to seduce you by wearing a similar dress to mine!"Fortunately, my friends were here to protect me. Otherwise, she might’ve ended up replacing me in this wedding and marrying you."Tears filled her eyes as she leaned into Connor's arms coyly to get some comfort from him. Connor started to console his petite wife.

Chapter 7

Connor immediately recognized me when he heard me call out to him. His eyes opened wide with shock. His knees went weak as he knelt in front of me. "W-what happened? Who did this to you?"Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw this. Tears covered my face as I raised my hand to slap Connor. Every word I spouted was filled with bloody rage. "Is this the kind of wife you've chosen for yourself? The only thing Adrian left behind for me has been destroyed!"My boyfriend, Adrian Scott, and I grew up together. While our elders were busy with their businesses, we took on the responsibility as parents by caring for Connor ourselves. We attended his parent-teacher conferences and helped him get out of all sorts of trouble.Adrian had died because Connor was adamant about racing his car on a mountain road that had sharp curves. A huge truck had been headed toward them. Adrian made sure Connor was out of the way as he tried to avoid the truck, but he ended up being crushed. Adrian’s body was

Chapter 8

I was the beloved golden child of the Henderson family and future successor of the family business. When this mishap happened to me, Connor called off the wedding.Ruby was sent back to the old mansion and confined within the premises. The people who helped her to harass me were detained in a lock-up while awaiting charges to be pressed against them.I underwent treatment at the hospital for a long time, as I had been admitted into the ICU with hardly any breath left in me. Connor was in great pain when he read the doctor's report while staring at the numerous wounds on me. "I'm so sorry. I should’ve been there to protect you. I deserve to die for bringing in the enemy!"Connor kept slapping himself until he bled at the corner of his lips. When he picked up Ruby's call, I was already out of danger and had been transferred to a normal ward. Ruby's crying could be heard coming from the other end of Connor's phone. "You've finally picked up my call, sweetie. Please tell me what I d

Chapter 9

Ruby was dumbstruck after the truth of it all finally sank in. She stood at the side, not knowing what to do. All she could do was act indignantly while giving excuses. "Well, why didn't she say anything earlier? This was all just a misunderstanding. "When she wore a dress that looked so much like mine, it reminded me of the past when she used to mimic my style, which was why I lost it a little. Besides, sweetie, you've slapped me so many times for her. We’re even now, right?"My face was pale as I sneered. "How is that considered even? I'll be seeing you in court."When Ruby saw that I was about to call the police, she turned to Connor and begged him when she saw no way out of this. "Sweetie… You can understand me, right? "I've told you before that I had a female classmate who was jealous of me and was constantly comparing herself to me. You even got mad on my behalf and said that you would get revenge on her for me if you ever met her. Have you forgotten that promise to me?"

Chapter 10

Everyone who helped Ruby harass me had been arrested. Not only did they have to face legal sanctions, but also the wrath of the Hendersons and the Milford Corporation. All of their family's companies, big or small, went bankrupt quickly.When Connor told me the results of their punishments, I was in a daze as I hugged the phone that I barely managed to glue together. The phone looked physically put-together, but the data inside could no longer be recovered.Connor quickly contacted several tech experts after the incident, but they were only able to salvage a portion of the data. I was left with only one photograph as a memory. He apologized to me softly, "I'm sorry. I know none of what I did is enough. I won't ever be able to make up for the pain that b*tch Ruby caused you. She promised to get an abortion so she could fulfill her sentence in prison right away, but only on the condition of meeting you once."I shook my head to reject her request. I did not want to see her. That fac
