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!

"Mr. Ford, there's an issue at the company!"

Chris's grave tone sent a shiver through Nathan. He had been so preoccupied with family matters that he had inevitably neglected the company.

Chris quickly summarized the situation. "I just received news that the Westside development project, which was heavily backed by the city, has suddenly lost its support. We invested a lot of capital to secure that land, and without the city's backing, achieving our projected outcomes will be extremely difficult. We might not even be able to start construction. With our funds tied up and no liquidity, the company could face a financial crisis."

Nathan felt a sharp pang in his temples. This unexpected news meant that a potentially lucrative investment was now at risk, with funds frozen in the process. Just as he thought things couldn't get worse!
