You've ruined my life, you scumbag! I will have my revenge!" A curious coincidence brought Grady Hill and Chloe Chadwick together. Strangely, she married him five years later, marking the end of her revenge. Then they had a son and a daughter. The children were arch and precocious, sharing a common goal of selling their mother! "Timmy, you brat, I will teach you a lesson!" The smart boy hid behind his father and said, "Dad, I will leave her in your hands. May God bless you. Amen."
In the Starlight International Hotel.
Chloe Chadwick trotted into the lobby with her bag, clad in school uniform. She was wearing a white blouse, a blue skirt, and a pair of knee-length cotton socks. Her long black hair tied up high into a ponytail, she looked chaste and tall.
"You are finally here. How many times have you been late this week?" The manager came over with a look of disdain.
"Sir, I'm sorry. There was an emergency at home. I promise I won't be late again." Her tender face dripping with contrition, she gazed at him pleadingly with luminous liquid eyes.
She had just come of age, but her face was etched with melancholy.
The manager glared at her and said, "Don't bother to show up if you can't arrive on time next time!"
Chloe nodded repeatedly, and he added, "Clean the presidential suite on the top floor. The guest will be here soon."
"I am on it."
The manager shook his head watching her leave in a hurry. She had only been working here for over a month. Other than her repeated tardiness this week, she was a dexterous and thoughtful worker.
Chloe quickly changed her clothes in the dressing room and rushed out with the utensils. She knew the manager was mad at her and decided to behave well, afraid he would fire her.
Her family was well off. However, her mother passed away, and her father remarried. Her stepmother was determined to make her life difficult. The vile woman deducted her tuition and cut her off, forcing her to take on a part-time job. She endured it for her father's happiness.
She was alone in the presidential suite and unwound a little.
Taking out a rag from the toolbox, she started cleaning. Just then, the door was suddenly closed, and someone hugged her from behind.
She was frightened and struggled desperately, but the man was too strong, so she could not break free.
"Darling, don't waste your energy." The man pinned her down and wanted to rip her clothes off.
"Who are you? Let me go!"
"Beautiful, don't be afraid. I promise it will be amazing. Be good." The fat man leered and kissed her delicate cheek.
She shouted and flailed wildly, but the man was too heavy and aggressive. She was sick to her stomach.
Suddenly, the curtains bulged. A pair of dark and eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at the bed, flickering menacingly. Blood oozed from his injured arm and dripped onto the ground along with his clenched fists.
The wretched man laughed arrogantly and had already ripped off Chloe's clothes.
She cried in despair and wished someone would save her. She wondered if she should bite her tongue and commit suicide. The humiliation was more dreadful than death.
Abruptly, the fat man collapsed onto the bed and stopped moving. She didn't know what was going on and pushed him tentatively. However, he didn't react.
She realized something was wrong and pushed him away with all her might, jumping up in horror. To her surprise, she bumped into a strong chest.
She covered her head and realized there was someone else. She looked up and saw a thin man standing before her. "You, you..." Her eyes widened as she kept reeling back. "You are with him. Don't hurt me. I don't have money...." She tried to run.
Sensing her fear, the man ignored the wound on his arm and covered her mouth forcefully. "Don't scream. I'm not a bad guy!"
She gaped at him in horror and exerted herself to calm down. The room felt dimmer because the curtains were drawn. The thick fabric blocked the sunlight, and they were shrouded in darkness.
She could barely make out his face but felt calmer. He had saved her, so he shouldn't be that evil. She nodded hard and signed for him to release her.
The man gave her an appraising look. Just then, footsteps quickly approached, and a door was opened in an eerie way.
It was them!
"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"

If he had suffered for five years, then this woman wouldn't get off easily either!

When Ezrah arrived home a few days after Zora was discharged from the hospital, he no longer met the woman who always greeted him with a smile and cared for him. Zora stood at the top of the stairs and yelled with a cold expression, "Good news, Ezrah! Our baby died in a car accident. There is nothing between us anymore, so let's get a divorce." The man who claimed not to have any feelings for Zora, being cold and distant towards her, and having asked her for a divorce twice, instantly panicked.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours.
