Alle Kapitel von I Married the Richest Man Instead: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

Maeve felt a twinge of envy, but she quickly buried the emotion and replaced it with an expression of shared indignation. She said sympathetically, "Don't be upset, Grayson. Calla must've realized he's richer and decided to trade up. She's abandoning her childhood fiancé for a better deal."And you've been so forgiving. Even after all the trouble she's caused, you were still willing to marry her. You've been so good, and this is how she repays you. It's completely unacceptable."Maeve's attempts at comfort only made Grayson's emotions spiral further out of control. He jerked his head up, his eyes blazing with fury."How dare she betray me? Come on. We're going there right now. I'm getting answers today!"Grayson sped all the way there, racing toward the wedding venue at breakneck speed. His lips were pressed into a tight line. He did not say a word.Maeve kept her eyes fixed on Grayson's face, keenly picking up on the subtle changes in his expression.Normally, Grayson did not ca

Because of her parents' constant criticism, Calla never dared to express her grievances again. For a very long time, she blamed herself for everything that went wrong.Everyone around her, including her parents, had always drilled one idea into her head—be obedient and well-behaved, and everything would fall into place.Hence, even though her life in her past existence had been utterly miserable, Calla never blamed anyone else. She always thought it was her fault, that she had not done enough to win Grayson's heart.Yet now, seeing Emmett standing in front of her without hesitation, shielding her from gossip and confronting Grayson on her behalf, she felt an unfamiliar ache in her chest.Had she not been told that obedience and good behavior would earn her everything? Yet this time, she had done nothing, and Emmett was already protecting her without a second thought.It turned out that this was what it looked like when someone truly cared.Before, she had only watched Grayson pro

Maeve had no desire to be a mistress for the rest of her life. She wanted to become Mrs. Thatcher.When Calla was still in the picture, their marriage was already approved by both families. Maeve never stood a chance. Now that Calla was out of the running, however, the position of Mrs. Thatcher would be hers.While Maeve was daydreaming about becoming Mrs. Thatcher, Grayson, who had always been obedient and compliant with her every wish, had a somber expression on his face. He fell into deep thought, his brows carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. When he spoke, his voice was tinged with cold detachment."Maeve, I do love you, but I told you a long time ago that my status and my family will only allow me to marry someone from an equal background. Your background is too different from mine. We can never be husband and wife. I made that clear from the start. Why are you suddenly going back on that now?"You know it yourself. Even if I can accept your background, what good would it do?

The burly man, Vince Brennan, was momentarily speechless. "Sure, Ms. Finley planned it for you, but it's your wedding, isn't it? She said whoever was getting married would pay for it. She only helped you plan it. She didn't even charge you a planning fee, and that's only because you're old friends. Now, you're pushing your luck and expecting her to pay for it too?"Hey, everyone! Come listen to how shameless this guy is!"Vince grabbed his megaphone and started shouting loudly. "He wanted to throw a wedding for his lover, but now, he expects his ex-fiancée to pay for it! How can anyone be this shameless? Come take a look, everyone! This is your neighbor!"His voice was extremely loud and carried far. Hearing that, Grayson and Vivian were mortified.Seeing the crowd gathering, Grayson, who cared so much about his reputation, could not take it anymore. He quickly shouted, "Alright, alright! Stop talking. I'll pay you, okay? Mom, transfer the money to him!"Hearing that, Vivian was o

It was finally repaired. There would still be cracks, but this was already the best possible outcome.Calla happily headed to the address Eden had given her. At the same time, however, she was feeling anxious.From what Eden had told her, this restoration expert came from wealth. Restoration was just a hobby for him, so his compensation was not always monetary. It could be something else entirely.At the time, in order to restore the bracelet her grandmother had left her, she had no choice but to agree. She still had no idea what she would be facing.Calla arrived at the private room door. She took a deep breath and pushed it open.The moment she did, she froze in place. The man sitting inside was none other than her fiancé, Emmett."Sorry, wrong room," Calla apologized quickly and immediately closed the door.She thought she had gotten the wrong room number. She pulled out the message and checked it again. It was definitely this room. There was no mistake.While she was still
