After silently contributing to his marriage for three years, Frederick York's wife demands a divorce, citing that she can't stand him. Then, when his true identity is revealed, his ex-wife and her family are filled with regret.
View MoreFollowing the pillow attack was Marianne's angry scolding. "You wretch, finally decided to come back?"After enduring a grueling day outside, full of hardships and losses, Priscilla just entered the house and was immediately met with this harsh reception, which made her feel unfairly treated."Mom, what are you trying to do?"Marianne, who had been sitting on the couch, stood up abruptly, tears streaming down her face."Why did you ever marry that worthless man? "He's brought nothing but trouble to our family! You've wasted your youth on him! And now, finally, you're divorced, and the company is on the brink of ruin because of him!" she cried, her voice trembling with anger. Priscilla's brow furrowed. Her heart filled with a mix of resentment and frustration, but she didn't dare argue with her mother.It was Marianne who'd championed Frederick for his perceived wealth. Yet, now the blame for the family's troubles rested solely on Priscilla's shoulders.Grace had returned with P
Frederick looked at Vivianne, completely confused by her question.Vivianne was about to be driven mad by this blockhead; he acted as if he didn't recognize anyone, as if she wasn't a potential partner at all.Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. It was her father, Theodore.She picked up to hear Theodore's joyful voice. "Haha, Vivi, the victory in this lawsuit not only spared me from losses, but the partners who previously worked with the Miller family are now seeking cooperation with us."Vivianne was overjoyed upon hearing the news. In recent years, the support of the Danbury and Monroe families had propelled Priscilla to great heights.If they had allowed this to continue for another two years, the Miller family could have posed a serious threat to the Danbury family.Fortunately, this lawsuit dealt a severe blow to the Miller family.Theodore continued, "Vivi, I've instructed the CEOs of several companies to contact you directly. You'll be in charge tomorro
Walter couldn't help but laugh at Vivianne's comments about Priscilla.Frederick felt defeated as he turned and left, with Vivianne and Walter trailing behind. Vivianne certainly had a sharp tongue. Priscilla's face burned red with anger as she watched them go, her body shaking with rage. Grace patted her shoulder and stepped forward. "Don't listen to them, Priscilla. I have ways to make them regret this."Tears welled up in Priscilla's eyes. "Why do Frederick and Vivianne always sound so self-righteous when they're lying? It's as if they believe the lies themselves!"Grace snorted, “Scoundrels, both of them. Birds of a feather flock together. How else could those two end up together? They're both shameless.”Priscilla nodded, agreeing fully. She and Frederick were never meant to be."Let's go home," she said.Grace nodded. "Alright, I'll tell you all about my plan. We'll make Vivianne and Frederick kneel and apologize."Priscilla didn't say much; her primary desire was for
Upon hearing Vivianne's remarks, Grace let out a smug chuckle. "How could I not know? Of course, it's because of my new brother-in-law, Wade."By calling Wade her brother-in-law, Grace confidently signaled that she believed his relationship with Priscilla was inevitable.Vivianne burst into laughter, "Haha, because of Wade? Wade Zahler? How could he have any connection with the Monroe family?"Grace stood up with her waist pinched. She looked at Vivianne with the same disdain she had previously shown Frederick. She radiated confidence that the upcoming Smith family auction would elevate her and Priscilla, leaving Vivianne far behind.She retorted, "Don't compare your level and Frederick's to my new brother-in-law, Wade. Wade's uncle is a board member of the Monroe family, and he arranged the invitation for Prissy."Vivianne scoffed at Grace's words. "Nonsense! Priscilla only got this invitation because of Frederick."Priscilla, who had been silent until now, glared at Vivianne fr
"Now you can see the difference between Frederick and Wade, right?" asked Grace.Priscilla's face changed slightly and her eyes dimmed.Wade had been so kind, while Frederick's betrayal stung.Seeing Priscilla's expression, Grace hurriedly fanned the flames. "Listen to me, this is a good chance to go to the auction with Wade. You two can sort things out on the way."Priscilla's eyes widened at Grace. "What? Sort things out?"Grace nodded and said, "Of course! Think about it, Wade's uncle is powerful, but no one knows it yet. Once they do, other women will flock to him. As a divorced woman, you need to act fast! Better take the chance while you're together and just sort it out."Priscilla's face flushed to her neck. As a woman who has been married, she naturally understood what Grace meant by "sorting things out".She was a traditional woman. She and Frederick also only became intimate after getting married."This... it's not right," Priscilla stammered shyly."It's the 21st ce
Priscilla had just paid a fine at the courthouse and picked up the grimacing Grace.Grace rubbed her face, filled with resentment. "That damn Frederick! How dare he hit me? I won't let him get away with this. And how did we even lose the lawsuit? Where did that Department of Health director come from?"Priscilla rubbed her temples. "I don't understand either. Why would the director suddenly show up with fake evidence? I talked to Wade today, and his uncle George thinks the Danbury family might be behind it."Grace said angrily while rubbing her face, "Well, obviously! Who else would pull strings for them with the Department of Health?"She hadn't heard Priscilla's reply. Feeling puzzled, she turned to see what had caught Priscilla's attention.Priscilla was staring intently through the large glass window of a nearby restaurant. Following Priscilla's gaze, Grace noticed Frederick and Vivianne dining inside. Across from them sat a middle-aged man.Grace asked confusingly, "Who's th
Walter hastily offered a toast to Frederick: "Mr. York, consider this drink as my way of apologizing."He then downed it in one go.Seeing Walter's state, Frederick shook his head helplessly and also finished his beer.Vivianne quietly refilled his glass and turned to Walter. "Director Song, I was able to win my case today thanks to you speaking up for me. It's me who should thank you."Walter waved his hand dismissively. "It was the least I could do. As a public servant, speaking the truth is my duty."He had felt guilty since he realized his misunderstanding of Frederick and wanted to make amends.Then, a thought struck him. Frederick had mentioned Vivianne's legal trouble, and Walter recalled his testimony and thought it might be useful, even if only slightly. He decided to take it to the police, thinking it couldn't hurt. He never imagined his evidence would turn the entire case around.Walter barely had a moment to speak with Frederick before he rushed off to the restroom i
Wade had never heard such gentleness in Priscilla's voice before.A wave of relief washed over him, and he sheepishly touched the back of his head."It's nothing, really," he mumbled.Sensing the tide turning in his favor, George seized the moment to solidify his plan."Priscilla, it would be appropriate for you to bring Wade to the auction," he suggested."Bring him with me?" Priscilla asked surprisingly.George explained smoothly, "My status as a board member carries limitations. I was only able to secure that single invitation, which now means my nephew cannot attend. However, the invitation allows you to bring someone else. You need to take my nephew with you, do you understand?"Priscilla nodded, acknowledging that since the invitation was indeed secured on her behalf, it was only proper that she take Wade. "Does the invitation extend to others? Could I also bring my family?""Of course. You can bring your unsophisticated family members to broaden their horizons," George r
What Priscilla didn't know was that Wade had been in a profitable partnership with Mitchell for over two years.However, the Danbury family had held back their reactions out of respect for Frederick."But the police say there are witnesses," Priscilla said.George scoffed. "The police? Could the Danburys have bribed them? Don't you keep up with the news? These things happen all the time."Though far away in Stanva City, George meticulously tracked every detail of Wade's life. He was well-armed with knowledge of the counterfeit medicine scandal and Wade's infatuation with Priscilla.George's words rang true and Priscilla hesitated. Sadly, corrupt news stories were all too familiar."But..."Seeing Priscilla's hesitation, George felt he was close to achieving his aim, especially since he had another plan in mind.At that moment, he took out an invitation: "Take a look at this, what do you think it is?"Priscilla saw the gold-embossed invitation with ‘the Monroes' written on it a
