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!

Ava Sterling felt intrigued by the offer but couldn't think of anything she wanted besides the project at that moment. Yet, she wasn't ready to let Nathan Ford off the hook easily. After a moment's thought, she said, "I can't think of anything for now. Let's consider it a rain check."

"A rain check? That's not acceptable," Iris Hart protested before Nathan could respond, worried about what excessive demands Ava Sterling might make of Nathan in the future. She knew all too well that Ava Sterling was a master of manipulation.

At Iris Hart's interruption, Ava Sterling glared fiercely, exuding an air of someone not to be trifled with. "I wasn't speaking to you. Why are you butting in?"

"Exactly, doesn't she know that not interrupting others is the most basic form of manners?" Zoe Dawson chimed in, delighting in seeing Iris Hart, the proverbial 'white lotus,' put in her place.
