On the wedding day, my husband's mistress wore a dress and stole all the attention.
It completely ruined the wedding that I had been planning for half a year.
I was so angry that I blamed her, but my husband slapped me to the ground.
It turned out that they had been dating for a long time.
What was funny was that she even pretended to be my parents' daughter...
"Oh my god, the bridesmaid is so pretty. The bride's wedding dress is so ordinary in comparison."
"And the groom's outfit seems to match the bridesmaids better!"
There were sounds of laughter coming from the audience. Everyone looked at me and the bridesmaids with teasing eyes.
I pulled my husband, Bob Nelson, angrily.
"Is this the bridesmaid you found?"
The maid of honor is a friend he grew up with, Anna Hale.
Before the wedding, Bob begged me many times to agree to let Anna be the bridesmaid. She was crying and screaming, which was frustrating.
I didn't really care about these details.
But unexpectedly, Anna was wearing a white skirt and a small umbrella.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she became the focus of the whole audience.
Her outfit was even more eye-catching than mine.
Bob withdrew his gaze from her as if awakened.
"What happened? Didn't she do a very good job and take good care of the guests?"
she did a good job.
She shuttled through the crowd like a butterfly, smiling, leaning on the man next to her when she smiled, completely ignoring the looks of other women.
Some of the guests thought she was the hostess.
Bob frowned and accused me.
"Isn't the friendship between girls supposed to be the most sincere? She's here to help you. How can you be so petty?"
I gritted my teeth and controlled my anger.
When the wedding came to the part where the video was played, I couldn't help but smile sweetly and secretly look forward to it.
We'd been together for three years. I put a lot of thought into editing this video and stayed up for several nights.
I hoped to give Bob a surprise.
But when the picture came out, I was stunned.
This was not the video I edited at all!
What appeared on the big screen were my ugly photos.
There were photos of me sleeping, eating, my ferocious face when arguing with clients, and me hiding aside and picking my nose.
And they even sharpened my photos specially.
The entire wedding audience let out an exclamation and began to roar.
"I thought the bride was noble and cool, but it turns out she's just a loser."
"No wonder they say makeup is magic. What's the difference between it and plastic surgery? I wouldn't dare marry a woman like this."
How so?
I bit my lower lip tightly and stared at Bob, waiting for him to give me an explanation.
Anna jumped in front of me at this time and said with a smile.
"Surprise! This is the part I prepared specially for you. Do you like it?"
Bob said.
"Yes. Anna spent a long time searching through my photo albums to edit this video."
She posted my ugly photos.
She randomly flipped through my husband's cell phone photo album.
I squeezed out the words from between my teeth.
"Do you think it's a surprise to hear people say this about me?"
She pouted and thought for a moment, then acted as if something suddenly dawned on her.
"Everyone must have misunderstood. I have a solution."
Before I could react, she started rubbing the tissue on my face without saying a word. Her hands were so strong that she hurt me.
"I'll help you remove your makeup and show it to everyone. Won't they know they misunderstood you?"
The makeup I put on after getting up at four in the morning was completely ruined by her.
She even pulled me to stand by her and said delicately.
"Everyone, please look. Lucy is also very beautiful without makeup. I don't allow you to say that about her."
My face and a delicate full makeup. She naturally looked better.
People started laughing one after another.
"Compared to the bridesmaids, the bride looks like a wild man."
"Fuck, after seeing the bride, I have to quickly see the bridesmaids to cleanse my eyes."
Hearing the conversation, Anna showed a smug smile and glanced at me lightly.
I couldn't bear this.
I raised my hand without hesitation and slapped Anna. But when I slapped her the second time, Bob grabbed my arm tightly.
"Lucy, stop it. Today is our wedding. Do you want to make fun of yourself?"
What?
I looked at the man in front of me and couldn't believe that this was my future husband.
At the moment of distraction, I felt a push on my back.
I was caught off guard and was pushed into the nine-layer cake. Along with the cake, I fell heavily to the ground.
I looked extremely embarrassed.
The instigator hid in Bob's arms, laughing.
"Bob, look how embarrassed Lucy was."
And my bridegroom tapped her nose lovingly.
"It's all because of you, a naughty girl. Are you satisfied now?"
Anna tilted her head towards him and pouted.
"Weddings are supposed to be fun. Being sentimental is too much!"
Then she ran up to me with a grin, tilted her head and smiled coquettishly.
"Lucy, now I can finally leave Bob to you without any worries. From now on, you must take good care of him."
"Anna."
She spoke with such deep emotion that Bob's eyes welled up with tears.
Instead, I looked like a clown with cake all over my head and face.
If I keep silent, others would only make them worse!
I quickly grabbed Anna's hair and threw her to the ground.
"Ah!"
She screamed. Cake covered her whole body.
In addition, the hem of her skirt was too large, so she tried several times but failed to stand up, and could only look at Bob with grievance.
Bob looked distressed and glared at me.
"Lucy, you are going too far."
Chapter 2What?
With a sneer, I grabbed a cake without saying a word.
Bob yelled.
"Lucy, you don't dare."
Facing the scumbag and bitch, I was not afraid of.
Without hesitation, I threw the cake at Bob's face.
The guests surrounded me and tried to stop me, accusing me of being ignorant and ruining the wedding.
Most of the guests invited to this wedding banquet were Bob's friends.
I grabbed the cake from the ground and threw it at anyone who rushed towards me.
I treated everyone equally.
They were forced to retreat and dared not say anything more.
Bob gritted his teeth.
"Do you still want to get married after all these?"
Anna went too far, but he thought she was just being naughty and willful. I was just fighting back at the right time, but he treated me like a shrew.
I didn't want such a ridiculous wedding.
I clapped my hands and stood up.
"I don't want a wedding like this!
"I don't want you anymore."
The colleague who had a good relationship with me quickly came forward and helped me walk to the locker room.
Anna's aggrieved voice came from behind.
"Bob, why don't you go and coax Lucy? What if she gets angry?"
"Let her go. We've already got married. I want to see how tough she can be."
After hearing this conversation, I turned back on my way to the door.
Bob's smiled slightly.
"Are you regretting it? Now you apologize to Anna and the guests and compensate them for their losses, and I will forgive you."
I walked to the cakes and looked down at Anna.
She bit her lower lip, looking pitiful, but I saw the provocation and pride in her eyes.
I took a deep breath and quickly wiped her face with a towel and makeup remover wipe.
"Since you think you look better without makeup, I'll help you clean up your makeup, too. That's fair, isn't it?"
After I removed most of the makeup on Anna's face, her original appearance was revealed.
Perhaps due to long-term heavy makeup, Anna's face had many spots.
She looked much worse than me.
"Humph, you look older and uglier than me. How dare you compete with me?"
Those in the crowd who had been praising her looks suddenly began to sneer.
"Ah!"
She screamed, stumbled away, covering her face.
"Let's go."
Now I felt refreshed.
Bob looked at me with a cold face.
"Lucy, Anna is just young. Why do you have to be so picky with her?
"Besides, she is a great contributor to the Nelson Group. You must apologize to her, otherwise our wedding will be cancelled."
I sneered.
"From what I know, she is about half a year older than me. Cancel the wedding if you want. You two should get married. Don't cause trouble for others."
I took off my veil, threw it on the ground, and walked away in a cool manner.
Bob behind me shouted.
"Lucy, you are just a country girl who comes from a rural area and whose parents don't even dare to come to your wedding. How can you live a luxurious life without me?
"Just wait. I will make you come back and beg me."
This was the person I wanted to be with, even though I went against my parents' wishes and tried my best to use their resources to build a career for him.
As I stepped out of that door, I wiped away my tears.
Suddenly my eyes were covered.
"My dear daughter, your father and I have come back from abroad to attend your wedding. Are you surprised?"
Chapter 3My parents, who were supposed to be negotiating the business abroad, rushed back overnight after finishing their business.
When they saw my miserable state, they were furious.
"Who dares to bully my daughter?"
My controlled emotions broke down, and I wept.
I threw myself into his arms and cried.
"Dad, Mom, I have been bullied so badly."
After I choked up and explaining what happened at the wedding, my parents wanted to rush in and kill Bob and Anna.
Fortunately, I stopped them.
They were outraged.
"My dear daughter, do you still like that scumbag?"
"Of course not. But I want to divorce him now. If I reveal that I am the daughter of the Lane family, he won't agree easily."
"He don't dare! If it weren't for the support of the Lane Group over the years, he would have gone bankrupt long ago."
That was right.
When I was dating Bob, I deliberately did not mention my identity as the daughter of the Lane family, nor did I seek credit from him for supporting Bob's project.
My ideal relationship should be two people working together, not attracted by my status.
Unexpectedly, this became one of the reasons he bullied me.
Since I had decided to divorce, there was no need for me to stay in the Nelson Group anymore.
When I returned to the Nelson Group, I found that my things had already been thrown out of the general manager's office by Anna.
She leaned against the door, folded her arms, and said to me sarcastically.
"Hey, isn't this Lucy who was so domineering at the wedding?
"Why do you want to go back now?"
I frowned.
"This is my office."
"So what? Bob has already promised to give it to me. You just be a waitress."
Funny. I worked with Bob in the past two years. I went through so much hardship and vomited so many times before I got this position.
Now, just because her, I had to give up my position?
I went to Bob. And he looked at me impatiently.
"I told you, Anna is the one who brought in the business for our company. Why can't she be the general manager?
"Don't be unreasonable."
Then I remembered that he said the same words at the wedding.
But I was indignant at the time and didn't care those. Now I realized that something was wrong, so I asked.
"What do you mean by she brings business to the company?"
"Anna is the daughter of the chairman of the Lane Group. Eighty percent of our company's business comes from her. Don't you understand?"
I asked, "How did you know?"
"I saw her getting out of the car of the chairman of the Lane Group once. Isn't this irrefutable evidence? You are my wife. We share the same fate. You should also be on good terms with Anna."
Then it dawned on me.
He recognized the wrong person, so he was biased towards Anna.
In my mind, he was not the person who made money through his own efforts. He wanted to take shortcuts more than anyone else.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to let Anna humiliate me.
I was disappointed.
"Let's get a divorce."
His tone was threatening.
"What?"
I said, "Wouldn't it be better if I divorced you and gave you room to marry a rich woman?"
He suddenly said.
"You are the legal representative of the company. You insist on getting a divorce. If I do something, you will go to jail."
Chapter 4I looked at him in surprise. His face were gloomy, as if he had been planning this for a long time.
When Bob and I co-founded the company, we were supposed to each hold half of the shares.
But he hugged me and said gently that he was afraid that the failure of the business would bring me heavy debts, so it would be better to put all the money in his bank account.
To reassure me, he said, "If you are worried that I will abandon you after I succeed in starting my own business, I would change the legal person of the company to you. Then you won't be afraid anymore."
At that time, I was young and inexperienced, and we were in love, so I agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, until today when the company went public, I was still receiving a fixed salary.
I didn't know how much I had lost.
But even so, I never cared about it.
Unexpectedly, at that time he had already thought of using my legal person status to control me.
In other words, as long as he used the company to do anything illegal or disciplinary, I would be forced to bear administrative responsibility.
Even criminal liability.
He was such a disgusting person.
Seeing my gloomy face, he came over and hugged me, whispering.
"Lucy, as long as you are obedient, I will not abandon you.
"Go and admit your mistake to Anna. No matter what she asks for, you must make her happy.
"Otherwise you don't want to know the consequences you need to bear."
I struggled to break free from Bob's embrace and looked him straight in the eyes.
"I'm sick of the fact that I ever loved you. Let's get a divorce."
The hand holding my shoulder jerked hard.
"Don't be unreasonable. If you don't apologize to Anna, I will be angry. At that time, no matter how much you beg me, it will be useless."
He would do that.
Faced with huge benefits, he would agree to divorce me.
My the most urgent task was to remove my legal person status.
Instead of me going to find them, they came to me on their own initiative.
When I was packing my luggage in the villa that Bob and I bought together, Bob rushed in with Anna and dumped all my luggage on the ground.
She grabbed my wrist angrily.
"The company's plan was leaked recently. Was it you who did it?"
I frowned.
"Are you OK?"
I had hardly been to the company these days, let alone touched the plan. How could I did it?
But Anna didn't intend to let me go.
"But the opponent's company's plan is almost the same as ours. Who else could it be if it wasn't you who leaked it? You must recover this loss."
I didn't want to pay attention to her.
But my luggage was scattered all over the floor, including the amulet that I had carefully placed away.
When I was a child, I was always prone to illness. My parents were very worried about me and found a way to get this amulet by going to many churches.
Since I started wearing this amulet, my health had gradually improved.
Therefore, this amulet meant a lot to me.
I had to go around her to get it back.
She knew what I was thinking, and quickly grasped the amulet, saying proudly.
"You must come with me to apologize to Party A, otherwise I will ruin it."
I stared at Bob.
"You think I did it, too?"
