All Chapters of His Bride by Contract, His Obsession by Fate: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Unable to endure the daily insult of the mother and daughter’s presence in her own home, Helen decided to pack a few belongings and temporarily relocate to their vacation house. She refused to look at Amanda and Alana’s faces every day while her own husband remained blind to their deceit.Helen’s departure served as the green light for the mother and daughter to act as if they owned the mansion.Because Mr. Summers was away during the day attending to various business affairs, Amanda acted like a reigning queen. She sat at the head of the spacious dining table, barking orders at the maids and household staff."What kind of coffee did you brew?!" Amanda snapped furiously, slamming the teacup down onto the saucer so hard that coffee spilled over the pristine tablecloth. "It’s completely bland! I told you I wanted an espresso, not something that tastes like dishwater! Replace this right now!""P-Forgive me, Madame... I will replace it immediately," stammered the maid, her head bowed low

The most anticipated night of the Rivaz Annual Business Ball had finally arrived. The grand ballroom of a renowned five-star hotel was splendidly decorated for the evening's unique theme—a Masquerade Gala. All the guests, business tycoons, and prominent high-society personalities wore elegant masks that concealed the upper half of their faces.Amid the sea of guests, Alana and Richard's arrival drew attention. Alana wore an expensive red gown as she clung tightly to Richard's arm. Even though Richard was dressed in a formal tuxedo and quickly concealed his exhausted face behind a silver mask, he was visibly anxious and uncomfortable.When the massive chandeliers suddenly dimmed and a brilliant spotlight focused on the grand staircase, a hush fell over the entire hall."Ladies and gentlemen," the host announced from the stage. "Please welcome the President and CEO of Rivaz Group, Mr. Rue Rivaz, together with his fiancée!"The crowd gasped as Rue slowly descended the staircase, clad in

Rue slowly shifted his cold gaze from Alana to Richard, who stood a short distance away. There was not a trace of emotion on the face of the Rivaz family heir, yet his sharp and threatening glare was enough to stop anyone who might dare approach further.Rue wasted no words on Alana and Richard. Instead, he wrapped his arm more tightly around Rory's waist and whispered softly near her ear, in a tone full of immense protectiveness and affection."Let's back to our table, Wife. I brought you something else to eat."Rory nodded. Before turning away completely, Rory briefly cast her gaze toward Alana. But she did not smile at her; she simply looked at her as if she were something filthy.Alana was left standing beside the dessert table, her knees trembling and swallowing hard from intense embarrassment and nervousness. She felt as though she had been reduced to an ant desperately trying to squeeze into a giant's world.Meanwhile, Richard simply stared at the two as they slowly walked back

Rory watched Richard and Alana's chaotic departure. One hand held her wine glass as she stood beside Rue in the hallway. Rory couldn't bear the number of people wanting to speak with her, so she stepped outside, and Rue followed her.They watched as Richard violently dragged the struggling and furious Alana out of the hallway. Rory's lips nearly curled into a wide smile of pure satisfaction at seeing the two people who had betrayed her arguing."They're a complete mess," Rue commented, watching the direction where the couple had finally disappeared. "If they keep causing a scene like that in public, the Summers Corporation won't even last until next month.""Let them be," Rory replied softly, taking a sip from the glass of wine she held. "The game has only just begun, yet they are already destroying their own reputation."Rue gazed at her with immense admiration and tenderness, slowly reaching out to take her hand over the table. "Just say the word, Rory, and I can crush whatever is l

Rue had his back turned, resting one elbow on the balcony railing. Hearing the door open, he turned around to see Rory standing with her hands on her hips, her cheeks flushed and a pout on her face as she glared at him."Oh, why are you just standing here? I told you to hurry up!" Rory complained, walking right up to Rue and aggressively pulling down the collar of his suit to bring his face level with hers. "Did you know I missed you? But I'm annoyed because you take forever to smoke!"Rue kept his eyes on Rory, clearly seeing her drunkenness and the cute flush on her face. Rue removed the cigarette from his hand and tossed it into a nearby ashtray, then gently grabbed Rory’s waist to keep her steady."Is that so, Wife?" Rue asked with a smirk, using a low, teasing voice. "You missed me? Or did you just miss your pillow?"Rory froze. Her eyes widened as she shook her head vehemently while pointing at Rue's face. "Huh?! What pillow? I didn't say anything about a pillow! I said... I sai
