บททั้งหมดของ Betrayed Bride: Choosing My Ex-Fiancé's Brother : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

After finalizing my new engagement arrangement with my parents, I attended the party with everyone else.On the way there, Samuel's friends were all making fun of me."How can you agree to let them stay in the same room, Catherine? Aren't you afraid that your fiance's going to run off with another woman?""Everyone in our circle knows that Catherine pursued Samuel for ten years. He's got her wrapped around his finger. Once, she even personally delivered a jacket to him despite running a high fever. Even if she's unhappy about his decision, I don't think there's anything she can do about it."Samuel Sutton, the man in question, was busy shelling nuts for Summer Wright. Upon hearing that statement, a hint of annoyance flickered across his face."Catherine desperately wants to marry me. She had our families arrange the engagement without even asking for my consent. Now, everyone in our circle knows our families are about to become in-laws," he said. He added, "I'm only going to spe

Liam had a reserved yet mature demeanor. He was dependable and meticulous in everything he did, which drew the admiration of many women.Ever since they were teenagers, Samuel had always fallen short of Liam in both academic rankings and popularity. He'd mirror Liam's mannerisms on purpose, but it'd often make him look ridiculous instead. In my previous life, Samuel hated Liam. Because of this, I had always kept my distance from him as well. If it weren't for my rebirth, I doubt we'd even become acquainted at all. However, now that he was my new fiance, I couldn't help but wonder about a few things.Why had he agreed to marry me? It was unlike him to attend something as ridiculous as this party. In my last life, he had devoted all of his time and energy to work. He was never married, and he would never take part in this kind of social gathering.Unable to suppress my curiosity, I eventually decided to ask him about it.Liam took off his jacket and poured me a cup of tea. Instea

Samuel looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Whose wedding is it?" he asked.Thomas shot Samuel a cold glance before turning to me with a warm smile. "Don't listen to this brat, Kate. This is you and Liam's wedding. The two of you should have the final say."At that moment, Samuel finally realized what was going on. In a trembling voice, he asked, "Liam and Catherine are getting married? How is that possible? I'm the one who's engaged to Catherine!"Mom clicked her tongue impatiently. "What are you talking about? Your engagement with Kate had been called off ages ago."Samuel stared at me in disbelief. Avoiding his gaze, I turned to my mother and said regretfully, "I never got the chance to wear the wedding dress you designed for me, Mom. Before I could try it on, someone cut it up and turned it into clothes for a dog.""What?" Mom snapped. "Who had the nerve to do something like that?"Subsequently, I pointed at Samuel and Summer, and everyone's gazes landed on them.Thomas

I let out a small scoff. "You flatter me. This is nothing compared to what you did in our previous life."The security guards escorted Samuel to the main entrance, but he refused to move his car. "My car will remain here until you call off your engagement to Liam," he declared stubbornly.As I watched him act like a shameless thug, I instinctively clenched my fists.I could roughly understand what Samuel was thinking. He was, after all, just the Sutton family's adopted son. Once Liam officially took over the family business, he would lose whatever authority he currently had. Hence, he desperately needed to secure a powerful backing through a marriage alliance. The backing in question was none other than me.When I paused, Samuel assumed that I was having second thoughts. A smug smile appeared on his face as he deliberately raised his voice."Call off your engagement to Liam, Catherine. Marry me instead," he said.In the next moment, however, the luxury cars behind him were vi

After the wedding, Liam threw himself into his work and planned a month-long honeymoon for us. I followed him around the world, taking in all the local sights and cultures as we went. I was finally able to experience everything I had been deprived of in my previous life.From what Liam had told me, Thomas felt incredibly embarrassed by what Samuel did at the wedding. After disciplining him at home, he sent him abroad so he could get him out of his sight.I raised a brow. "Thomas raised him like a son for over a decade. No matter what he did, it seems unlike him to send Samuel overseas to suffer."Liam flashed me a knowing smile. "My father may not be willing to do it, but I am."…On the day before we returned from our honeymoon, Liam brought me to a remote village abroad. He steadied me as I stood at the edge of a coal mine. Looking down, I spotted a group of laborers working below. Among them, I caught sight of a familiar figure.My eyes widened in shock, and I rubbed my ey
