Chapter 1

I checked the photos again and again.My fiancée and this woman in the photos looked almost identical.When I stayed silent for too long, the voice on the other end of the phone turned mocking again."Well? Nothing to say now that you've been exposed?""I'm outside your door. Let's talk face to face," I stated coldly.My father looked like he had seen a ghost when he opened the door.Only when he noticed the expensive gifts I was carrying did he finally step aside to let me in."At least you came to apologize," he said coldly. "Maybe you're not completely hopeless. But let me give you some advice: you should give up now. I know you like competing with Duncan, but the Trivetts are a powerful old-money household. They would never accept a nobody influencer like you."Our family had been close with the Trivetts for generations.When Duncan Weaver and I were kids, our families even arranged a future marriage alliance.The day I reunited with my real family, the Trivetts sent word

But three days later, I ended up locked out.It's kind of funny when you think about it.It was my biological parents' house, yet I didn't even have a key.I waited outside for an hour before my father finally showed up.When he saw me, he looked surprised."Leo? How long have you been standing out here? Sorry if I kept you waiting. Mr. Trivett invited us to dinner. We had to show him some respect."Behind him, Duncan was following closely beside a middle-aged gentleman, looking especially attentive.The man looked me up and down."So you're Leo. I heard your fiancée looks exactly like my daughter, Chelsea, so I came to see for myself. Where is she?"Duncan covered his mouth and laughed lightly, his tone dripping with mockery."Mr. Trivett, you're just too kind to believe something like that. It's only been three days. Even if he wanted to hire someone to get plastic surgery to look like Chelsea, there wouldn't have been enough time."I calmly took a sip of tea. "Irene had t

That night, Irene apologized to me for three full hours before I finally calmed down.I still had questions, but neither of us brought up the topic of meeting my parents again.Instead, we quietly focused on preparing for the wedding.I didn't expect to run into Duncan again while trying on my wedding suit."I don't care if someone already ordered it," he said loudly. "Whatever he paid, I'll pay double."The store manager tried to explain politely. "It's not really about the money…""Do you even know who I'm marrying?" Duncan said with a smug grin. "It's the Trivetts from South Mistburg! In this whole city, who would dare go against them?"When the manager saw me walk in, he looked like someone who had just been rescued."The suit was custom-designed for Mr. Presley," he explained quickly. "It was created to celebrate the designer's collaboration brand debuting at Preesia Fashion Week."That only made Duncan's jealousy burn hotter."Honestly, the suit doesn't even look that s

A sentence was all it took to plant a thorn in Duncan's heart.A mutual friend later told me that Duncan became paranoid after that. He kept suspecting things, but didn't dare confront Chelsea directly.Instead, he secretly went through her phone.That was when he discovered she had been following my account for a long time. Years ago, she had even been my top supporter during livestreams.After that, things got ugly.Duncan started fighting with Chelsea almost every day.But the moment Samuel so much as frowned, Duncan immediately behaved again.After telling me all that, my friend leaned closer and said curiously, "Leo, be honest with me. You've been hiding Irene so carefully, never bringing her out to meet anyone. Don't tell me she's actually…""The woman I'm marrying has always been Irene," I cut him off immediately.Seeing how serious I looked, he didn't press the question any further.I thought that after that, our lives would finally stop crossing paths.But on the da

Duncan sat frozen on the floor."Chelsea… You don't recognize me? We grew up together. We've known each other since we were kids. How could you not know who I am?"He grabbed at the hem of Irene's dress, his voice trembling."Please don't scare me like this. Wait, I know what's going on! Did Leo seduce you? Or does he have something on you? Just tell me. We can deal with it together."But Irene's frown only deepened. She tried to keep her composure, still carrying herself with quiet elegance."Sir, please calm down. My name is Irene Nelson. I'm Leo's fiancée."The cold, unfamiliar look in her eyes finally broke Duncan. "That's impossible!"Still refusing to give up, he pulled out his phone. He checked his messages and then his calls. Chelsea had completely disappeared. He couldn't find her contact or number anywhere.Suddenly, something seemed to occur to him. His eyes lit up."Chelsea, my parents will be here any minute. You wouldn't want to upset them, right?"He crawled

Even after the handcuffs snapped around their wrists, Samuel and Daphne still couldn't accept that everything had fallen apart."That fortune teller was right! It's that cursed beauty mark. You were born to destroy this family! I should've never spared you back then. I should've stayed and watched you die!" Samuel roared.The hatred in his eyes, the vicious curse in his voice.For a moment, it felt just like looking at my father.All the resentment and frustration I had been holding back surged up at once.I stepped forward, shielding Irene behind me."Oh, give it a rest," I said coldly. "Stop blaming everything on a beauty mark. You know exactly what you've done. Your downfall was only a matter of time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been fooled by something as simple as a little foundation. You couldn't even tell whether the woman beside you was Chelsea or Irene."At those words, Samuel's legs gave out. He collapsed completely.Even as the officers dragged him away, he kept mut

The evidence was overwhelming.More than a dozen members of the Trivetts were convicted.Samuel and Daphne, who carried the most serious charges, received sentences of 30 years. They would most likely spend the rest of their lives behind bars.The once powerful Trivetts in South Mistburg collapsed overnight.And Duncan, who had proudly bragged everywhere about being their future son-in-law, quickly became the biggest joke in town.My father tried several times to contact me. But after I blocked his number and messages, he realized something strange. He didn't even know where his own son lived, where I worked, or who my friends were.For a while after that, Irene and I enjoyed a rare stretch of quiet during our honeymoon.Then, the first night I returned to work, my livestream was suddenly flooded with hostile accounts.That was when I discovered my father and Duncan had started a pity livestream.In just two hours, they painted a whole new story.According to them, I had marr

To make up for the regrets of our wedding, Irene planned something special for our first anniversary.She rented an entire private island and arranged another ceremony just for us. She even invited 100 of my fans and chartered flights to bring them there.Because of that, she ended up earning a nickname online."The Model Streamer Wife."Seeing how happy she was, I decided to join in the fun and organized a one-on-one fan meet.Everything went smoothly.…Until the 100th fan walked in.He wore dark sunglasses and had himself covered from head to toe. Something about him made a chill run down my spine.Unlike the others, he sat down and immediately called me by name."Leo."The voice sounded strangely familiar.I forced a polite smile. "Hey, man. What do you want to talk about?""Can you tell me how someone gets everything you have now?"I paused.Most fans didn't ask about business.Seeing how serious he seemed, I pulled out my phone and opened a few project management co

The ballroom doors opened.Bright stage lights poured down on Duncan, making him look almost like a prince stepping onto the stage.At the far end of the aisle, Irene stood in a white wedding dress, gently extending her hand.Everything seemed to be going perfectly.Duncan could barely contain his excitement.He lowered his voice and spoke toward the camera hidden on him."Leo, see this? Your assistant, your fans, even your wife. None of them I'm not you. All the things you're so proud of? Turns out they're nothing special."I clenched my palm hard, forcing myself to stay conscious.I believed Irene would recognize the truth eventually.Until then, I couldn't pass out.Soon, Duncan reached the center of the stage, stopping beneath a ring of crystal flowers.According to the rehearsal, this was where the groom was supposed to take a photo with the fans.Suddenly, a glass flew onto the stage.It shattered right beside Duncan's feet. A shard sliced across the top of his foot,

Chapter 10

Before his sentencing, Duncan had begged Matthew to help him.But Matthew didn't respond.If anything, he made things worse.He froze every account Duncan still had access to and took the money back. Without any financial support, Duncan couldn't even hire a defense lawyer.During his five-year sentence, Duncan spent his days writing letter after letter, cursing Matthew and wishing he'd die alone.Matthew seemed to believe that by abandoning Duncan, he could somehow win me back. He began calling me frequently, almost like he was reporting his achievements."Leo, I got revenge for you! It was all Duncan stirring up trouble before. That's why I kept making the wrong choices. When you have time, come home and visit your dad, okay?"I answered his calls every time.But I never responded.I simply recorded everything he said and mailed the recordings to Duncan.After testing the waters for a while and realizing I didn't reject him outright, Matthew became bolder. He started using
