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!

Hearing the noise, Ethan walked over, curiosity evident on his face.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Ava smiled, not wanting to burden Ethan with the truth, knowing he was already swamped. "It was an unknown number, probably a scam call. No need to answer it."

Ethan nodded and walked away, a slight smile playing on his lips. He had already thoroughly investigated Matthew Garcia and had just glimpsed the caller ID on Ava's phone. It was indeed Matthew Garcia's number. Ethan felt a sense of relief, thinking that his warning had made Ava wary of Matthew. As long as Ava kept her distance from him, things would gradually improve.

Meanwhile, Matthew Garcia, realizing no one was answering his call, began to worry. It had been nearly two weeks since he last saw Ava. If the hypnosis sessions were interrupted, all his previous efforts might be in vain. How would he explain this to Iris?
