At the wedding, I saw my fiancé's sister. Seeing that sweet smile on her face made me feel nauseous, and I crazily ran out of the wedding hall.
At the wedding, I met my fiancé's younger sister.
When I saw her face with that sweet smile, I felt a wave of nausea and rushed out of the wedding hall like crazy.
She was the one who, when I was in high school, forced me to lick her phlegm, stuffed snow into my clothes and pressured me to drop out of school.
1.
In the wedding hall, the pure and solemn Wedding March was playing while Kevin George and I were exchanging rings.
Kevin slipped the ring onto my finger and earnestly made a promise, saying, "Anna, I'll love you all my life."
I smiled happily, and thunderous applause broke out all around.
Just at that moment, the doors of the hall opened wide.
My expression froze instantly when I saw the person who came in.
"Kevin, you didn't even wait for me," Luna George teased as she walked in, wearing a pale purple gown that was both elegant and adorable.
Kevin smiled helplessly yet affectionately, then turned to explain to me, "Anna, don't take it to heart. Luna just rushed back from studying in Babil."
But I couldn't hear a word he said. Watching Luna approaching with her charming smile step by step, I suddenly felt my stomach churning uncontrollably as if there were waves crashing inside.
I never forgot how she used that very same innocent-looking smile to make her followers press my head to the ground and spit out the most vicious and malicious words.
"Ava, since you're so fond of what others discard, why don't you lick my spit clean?"
Ava, a name that was notorious in our high school, was almost spat on by everyone.
Although I had changed my name and my appearance had changed a great deal, those dark memories would never disappear.
While I was in a daze, Luna had already walked up close. She tilted her head with a smile and said, "Anna, you're so beautiful."
She didn't recognize me.
Of course. She could be the perfect princess. Why would she ever need to remember someone like me who seemed to live in the gutter?
Kevin gently stroked Luna's head, his expression gentle. There was a hint of tender reproach in his tone as he said, "How impolite of you. Wait until the wedding is over, and then let Anna keep you company."
"Alright," Luna pursed her lips and then tugged at my arm. "Anna, Kevin is really good at spoiling people. You'll surely be very happy in the future."
I jerked back as if I'd been electrocuted, yanked my arm free forcefully, and then rushed towards the exit of the hall like crazy.
Everyone in the hall was shocked. Kevin's father, Dean George, glared at the security guards by the door and shouted angrily, "Stop her!"
Only then did I realize how familiar Dean's voice was.
It was that very voice that had angrily growled at the principal in the principal's office years ago. "Expel Ava from the school immediately! Otherwise, spit out all the benefits your high school has received from me!"
After that, I was branded as a person of loose morals and left the school under the cold stares of others.
The security guards were just about to get up and stop me when Kevin's voice rang out from behind, "Don't stop Anna! Dad, this is a matter between Anna and me."
The guards hesitated for a moment, and by then I had already rushed out of the hall.
As expected, Kevin caught up with me in no time. "Anna, what's the matter?"
There was anger in his voice, yet more of it was filled with fear.
I had been with him for four years, and I knew that he loved me.
However, whenever I thought of the connection between Luna and Kevin, all I could feel was disgust.
Luna was aware of the huge disparity in our family backgrounds.
Her father served as a director of several groups and could mobilize hundreds of thousands of funds at will. In contrast, my parents were just poor people who made a living by selling vegetables.
So she dared to do anything. Just because I was wearing a thin, tight-fitting base layer and sitting beside her ex-boyfriend, she had me dragged to the back hill of the school.
"Didn't expect you to be so afraid of the heat that you'd wear so little even in the classroom. Wouldn't it be cooler to sit in the snow for a while?" After saying that, Luna grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it straight into my clothes.
I shivered all over uncontrollably from the cold, while she laughed even more merrily.
Her followers, as if having received orders, pulled my coat open in a flurry and stuffed large lumps of ice and snow inside my clothes.
This kind of abuse went on for God knows how long. When they saw that I was on the verge of passing out from the cold and hardly responsive anymore, they lost their enthusiasm and stopped, then scattered and left.
I didn't recall how I managed to crawl back to the dormitory with my last bit of strength.
Elliana, the unfavored "ugly duckling" of her family, was humiliated by her stepsister, Paige, who everyone admired. Paige, engaged to the CEO Cole, was the perfect woman-until Cole married Elliana on the day of the wedding. Shocked, everyone wondered why he chose the "ugly" woman. As they waited for her to be cast aside, Elliana stunned everyone by revealing her true identity: a miracle healer, financial mogul, appraisal prodigy, and AI genius. When her mistreatment became known, Cole revealed Elliana's stunning, makeup-free photo, sending shockwaves through the media. "My wife doesn't need anyone's approval."
Her fiance and her best friend worked together and set her up. She lost everything and died in the street. However, she was reborn. The moment she opened her eyes, her husband was trying to strangle her. Luckily, she survived that. She signed the divorce agreement without hesitation and was ready for her miserable life. To her surprise, her mother in this life left her a great deal of money. She turned the tables and avenged herself. Everything went well in her career and love when her ex-husband came to her.
Katherine endured mistreatment for three years as Julian's wife, sacrificing everything for love. But when his sister drugged her and sent her to a client's bed, Katherine finally snapped. She left behind divorce papers, walking away from the toxic marriage. Years later, Katherine returned as a radiant star with the world at her feet. When Julian saw her again, he couldn't ignore the uncanny resemblance between her new love and himself. He had been nothing but a stand-in for someone else. Desperate to make sense of the past, Julian pressed Katherine, asking, "Did I mean nothing to you?"
Abandoned as a child and orphaned by murder, Kathryn swore she'd reclaim every shred of her stolen birthright. When she returned, society called her an unpolished love-child, scoffing that Evan had lost his mind to marry her. Only Evan knew the truth: the quiet woman he cradled like porcelain hid secrets enough to set the city trembling. She doubled as a legendary healer, an elusive hacker, and the royal court's favorite perfumer. At meetings, the directors groaned at the lovey-dovey couple, "Does she really have to be here?" Evan shrugged. "Happy wife, happy life." Soon her masks fell, and those who sneered bowed in awe.
Arabella, a state-trained prodigy, won freedom after seven brutal years. Back home, she found her aunt basking in her late parents' mansion while her twin sister scrounged for scraps. Fury ignited her genius. She gutted the aunt's business overnight and enrolled in her sister's school, crushing the bullies. When cynics sneered at her "plain background," a prestigious family claimed her and the national lab hailed her. Reporters swarmed, influencers swooned, and jealous rivals watched their fortunes crumble. Even Asher-the rumored ruthless magnate-softened, murmuring, "Fixed your mess-now be mine."
After five years of playing the perfect daughter, Rylie was exposed as a stand-in. Her fiancé bolted, friends scattered, and her adoptive brothers shoved her out, telling her to grovel back to her real family. Done with humiliation, she swore to claw back what was hers. Shock followed: her birth family ruled the town's wealth. Overnight, she became their precious girl. The boardroom brother canceled meetings, the genius brother ditched his lab, the musician brother postponed a tour. As those who spurned her begged forgiveness, Admiral Brad Morgan calmly declared, "She's already taken."
