Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!
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."
The Return of an Old Friend
The next day, Ava accompanied Zoe to the studio. As expected, she saw two new faces—a man and a woman—whom Nathan had sent over. Before they could speak, Ava approached them with a smile.
"Thank you both for your hard work during this time. Now that I'm back, there's no need to trouble you further. You can return to your original positions."
The two had been briefed on the studio's situation and Ava's identity before coming, so they were polite and understanding. After some courteous words, they efficiently handed over their work and left.
Ava then called an all-staff meeting. She began by expressing her gratitude to the employees and then announced that from now on, they only needed to listen to her instructions and could disregard any tasks sent by Nathan.
