In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy. Before the surgery, Ava calls Nathan, who is preoccupied with his mistress and neglects Ava, even going as far as to accuse her of having an affair and carrying another man's child after the surgery... As their one-year contractual marriage comes to an end, Nathan realizes his feelings for Ava. But Ava is not willing to play along anymore! Excerpt: "I am Nathan Ford's girlfriend, loved by him, as everyone knows. And you... you're just a title holder, soon to be thrown out. By then, you'll lose all your dignity... no, you've already lost it. I bet your deceased mother would turn in her grave if she knew what you've become." Hearing Iris Hart's sharp and biting words, Ava Sterling initially didn't want to stoop to her level. However, the mention of her late mother crossed a line. A crisp slap echoed before Iris Hart could even react, leaving five bright red marks on her face. "Ah—Ava Sterling—you lowlife, how dare you hit me..." Iris Hart realized she had been slapped and reached out to retaliate, but Ava Sterling was prepared and caught her hand easily. "Listen, Iris Hart, if I'm the joke, what does that make you? You're also a joke. At least I'm Nathan Ford's wife by law! You! Iris Hart, are nothing but a mistress scorned by everyone. Every wealthy man may stray, but a hotel is just a hotel, and home is home. There can be many dishes, but there's only one bowl of rice."
After saying that, she turned and left. Seeing her leave, Chloe didn't chase after her; her earlier bravado was just a facade.
She cried because Ethan had worked hard to secure this sponsorship, and now it was all ruined because of her...
Standing there with her head down, Chloe wanted to call the partner to apologize, but her phone had gone black from the fall.
Now her phone was broken, she was unfamiliar with the area, and she didn't know what to do. A sense of helplessness and frustration overwhelmed her, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
She genuinely wanted to do something for the company and prove herself to Ethan, but why did things always go wrong? Chloe felt heartbroken, and no longer caring about being seen, she squatted down, covered her face, and cried to release her pent-up frustration.
