In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy. 

Before the surgery, Ava calls Nathan, who is preoccupied with his mistress and neglects Ava, even going as far as to accuse her of having an affair and carrying another man's child after the surgery...

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!

"Hello everyone, my name is Thomas Nelson. I'll likely be working with you all in the coming days, so I hope for your guidance and support." Thomas finished with a formal ninety-degree bow.

Ava, knowing that Thomas was probably very nervous, waved Zoe over.

"Zoe, could you take Thomas out today to familiarize him with the area and then set up a workstation for him?"

After handling things for Thomas Nelson, Ava returned to her own seat and noticed Alex watching her.

"What are you looking at?" she asked.

"Was that person the reason you stepped out earlier?" Alex asked, glancing at a somewhat restrained Thomas.

"Yes, I met him at the construction site. He's quite talented; he hasn't formally studied design but could instantly discern the structure of a blueprint. By the way, how's that data calculation going?"

Peril
