In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy.

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."

Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!

Zoe Dawson paced anxiously, watching as the competition was about to start. Ava Sterling hadn't arrived yet, but fortunately, the design blueprints were with them. If they were still with Ava, all their efforts would have been in vain.

"I'll go outside and call the boss again," Harper Martinez announced, noting that there were only about 5 minutes left before the competition started and the designs had to be submitted. Without Ava Sterling, no one would be there to present their design concepts.

Zoe Dawson didn't stop her, watching as Harper stepped outside. Standing at the doorway, Zoe watched the crowd flow in and out, filling the venue.

At that moment, Iris Hart arrived with the team from Timeless Traditions Artistry. "Look who it is! If it isn't Ms. Dawson. Is Ms. Sterling too scared to show up today? Afraid to face the competition?" she taunted.
