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!

Compared to Iris Hart's blatant bullying, Zoe Dawson found Nathan Ford even more detestable for being her accomplice. Without his endorsement, Iris wouldn't dare to be so bold, especially to swap blueprints right under everyone's noses.

Nathan Ford had braced himself for Ava Sterling's rebuke even before arriving, but that didn't mean he was open to being scolded by just anyone. Yet, his principles prevented him from arguing with a woman, forcing him to rebuke coldly.

"Miss Dawson, I advise you to choose your words carefully. Moreover, I'm not here to see you. Please, call out Ava Sterling."

Iris Hart chimed in, visibly annoyed by Zoe Dawson.

"Zoe Dawson, watch your language. I came here to apologize to Ava Sterling, not to argue with you!"

Zoe Dawson simply scoffed, suppressing the urge to retaliate physically.
