Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 413: Bullied into Tears During His Manic-Depressive Period

The architecture of Landis City was a complete replica of the main city on the Wasted Star.

However, because it was inhabited, it was much livelier than the deserted city.

But at this moment, at its core, the tallest building was completely encased in ice, even covered with pure white snow.

The tall and handsome man, dressed in a crisp military uniform, had eyes filled with a cold light.

He stood on the rooftop, holding a man by the collar.

With his other hand slightly raised, a sharp ice cone floated above his palm.

It was Gu Jue!

The man caught by Gu Jue was dressed in a luxurious robe, and he might have looked amiable under normal circumstances.

But now, due to fear and his frantic struggles, his features were somewhat distorted.

"Impossible! How are you not affected by that Magic Stone! Let me go! Release me now!"

When Su Wan arrived, this was the scene she encountered.
