Linsey is abandoned at the altar and impulsively marries a stranger to save face. Everyone mocks her until her newly wedded man is revealed as the world’s richest man. When he publicly declares his love, Linsey’s “mistake” turns into a fairytale. But how did a random wedding become something so real?
The voice dripped with venomous sarcasm, causing Linsey to frown at its piercing edge. She turned to see a woman seated not far off, eyeing her with a look of contempt. Noticing Linsey’s gaze, Cynthia Keller scoffed and lifted her chin with a smug tilt. “What? You got a problem?” The group around Cynthia quickly…
One by one, the designers filed into the interview room, each selecting a seat in the designated area. The interviewers positioned themselves at the forefront, observing quietly as staff members handed out sheets of paper and drawing pens to the candidates. The lead interviewer cleared his throat and addressed the group. “You are all talented…
“After careful consideration, we have selected Linsey Riley for the position. Congratulations, Linsey!” “What?! No way!” Cynthia’s voice shot up, her disbelief echoing through the room. She had been so certain she would be the one to pass. Yet, against all logic, the arrogant newcomer-Linsey-had taken the spot instead. Linsey, equally stunned, blinked in disbelief.…
Before the butler could respond, Linsey stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open as she blinked groggily, still lost in the haze of sleep. When her blurry vision cleared and landed on Collin, she paused, confused for a moment, still processing the situation. Collin’s breath hitched unexpectedly, his heart skipping a beat as he caught sight…
With a mischievous smile, she tried to pour herself another glass. After a moment’s pause, Collin gently took the bottle from her unsteady grip, his tone calm and composed. “That’s enough. If you don’t enjoy drinking, you don’t need to force yourself.” Linsey blinked, stunned by his rare display of concern, then quickly shook her…
His eyes darkened slightly. She was right. They were married. There was no reason to push her away. In fact, they could be even closer, just like this. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he leaned in, his gaze locked onto her lips, hovering just above them. As Collin’s lips hovered just inches from Linsey’s, his…
“Cynthia, if you ever need anything, just ask me.” “As expected from the daughter of the Keller family-so extravagant!” Cynthia listened to the flood of compliments with a proud yet gracious smile. Then, lifting a large gift box, she walked over to Coen and handed it to him with both hands. “Mr. Fuller, I remember…
Fortunately, the others had no interest in making her life harder. Their orders were simple and reasonable. Half an hour later, Linsey returned with the drinks and handed them out one by one. “Thanks.” “Appreciate it, Linsey.” “No problem,” Linsey replied politely. When she reached Cynthia, Cynthia suddenly tilted the cup just enough for the…
A heavy silence followed, the weight of their words hanging in the air. The atmosphere in the office had shifted, and it was clear to everyone that Linsey wasn’t someone to provoke lightly. Breaking the uneasy stillness, one colleague, who clearly wasn’t picking up on the tension, took a casual sip of his coffee and…
