Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Fiancé Gave Away My Wedding Dress, So I Took His Inheritance: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Ten years ago, the Harrison family's docks had been bombed, and rivals had cut off their drug trade.Just when the situation seemed hopeless, Theodore's father, Sterling Harrison, came to me in person and begged for my help.He promised I could choose the next Harrison heir and transferred a 30% stake directly to me.Helping the Harrison family back then cost me, too.An overseas drug deal I'd already set up fell apart, and the shipment ended up in the hands of my biggest rival.Theodore came to me and, with remarkable courage, helped me recover the shipment. Because of that, I managed to expand my drug trade into the Middle East.After that, Theodore always seemed to show up whenever I was worn out.When I was too busy to eat, he'd cook for me himself and bring the food right to me.When I worked late, he'd drive over and wait downstairs for me.When rivals ambushed us, he even took a bullet for me.His devotion moved me, and I fell in love with him.Later, when Sterling died unexpect

The dressing room door swung shut, and their footsteps faded down the hall.I stood there looking at the plain dress in front of me, and suddenly I laughed out loud.I'd let Theodore grow so bold that he actually dared to threaten me like this.I took out my phone and called my assistant, Ivy Walsh. "Ivy, go open the Amherst family safe. Take out what's inside and bring it to me."I paused. "And bring the alliance agreement we signed with the Harrison family eight years ago, too."Ivy's tone turned serious at once. "Yes, Ms. Amherst!"Eight years ago, Sterling and I had signed that agreement in secret.To protect the Amherst family's interests, I'd insisted on several terms. One spelled out exactly what would happen if the heir I chose ever betrayed me.All of the heir's shares would be transferred to me, and I could do whatever I wanted with them.Theodore would be stripped of his title as heir.The Harrison family would cast him out, and he'd never see another cent of its money or an

I turned toward the voice.Anthony Harrison walked into the chapel in a sharply tailored dark suit. His shoes clicked against the marble floor, and every head turned his way.The last time I'd seen him was eight years earlier, when I'd rejected him in person.After that, our paths never crossed again. He never even showed up at Harrison family dinners.Whenever anyone asked Leo about Anthony, he would stare straight at me and say in a strange tone that his grandson had been hurt and needed time to recover.At first, I thought Anthony had actually been injured. Only much later did I understand what Leo meant.But I didn't believe it. After all, Anthony had been perfectly calm when he walked away that day.Now, as he approached me, he looked like the gentle man I remembered, the one who had bowed out so gracefully. Yet something about him felt different.He seemed more mature than I remembered. His jaw was sharper, and his expression had grown calmer.He stopped in front of me and looked

Howard adjusted his glasses and took the agreement. The chapel was so quiet that the only sound was people breathing.After a long while, his head snapped up and he looked at me. His voice was hoarse. "The agreement is real."All the color drained from Theodore's face at once.He swayed and had to grab the pew behind him just to stay on his feet."It bears Sterling Harrison's own signature and the Harrison family seal. It's fully binding."Howard's voice was low. "Under the terms of this agreement, if the heir betrays Ms. Amherst in any way, all Harrison family shares in his name automatically transfer to Ms. Amherst."And... his status as heir ends immediately.""That's impossible!"Theodore lunged forward and snatched the agreement from him. "It's fake! My father would never sign something like this! I'm his son!"I looked at him without a shred of pity.Right on cue, Leo stepped forward with a respectful expression. "Well then, Ms. Amherst, can we revisit the matter of the heir?"He

News that Theodore had been cast out of the Harrison family spread even faster than I'd expected.That night, I sat at my desk and opened the files Ivy had put together.Page after page listed every deal Theodore had handled for the Harrison family over the years.Drugs, arms, money laundering. Every single deal was documented down to the smallest detail.I tapped my fingers on the desk. "As far as I know, Theodore has two large warehouses where he stores his own stock. Even without the Harrison family behind him, he can still supply his customers on his own."Ivy, have the families he did business with gotten back to us?"Ivy stood beside the desk, calm as ever. "All of them have."The Sicilians have announced that they won't accept any shipment tied to Theodore."The Amherst family's ports are closed to him, and all the overland transit points he'd need belong to Leo."With no buyers and no shipping routes, Theodore's drugs can only sit in those warehouses forever."I nodded, satisfi
