Chapter 1 When I secured a major deal for the Stone family , my fiancé Leo's sister Iris pushed me down the grand staircase . She did this at the banquet , right in front of all the family elders . [ ] Iris looked down at me sprawled on the carpet , hatred blazing in her eyes . [ ] " Don't think landing this billion - dollar contract makes you secure as the Stone family's daughter - in - law . " [ ] " You'll never measure up to your sister Emma - my brother's true love ! " ] " Once Leo takes control , you can expect to leave with nothing ! " ] I touched my bloodied eye and slowly collected my scattered cards , exhausted to the bone . [ ] This girl once begged me to teach her shooting . Now I felt nothing but weariness . [ ] " You don't need to kick me out . Once I finish this deal and repay your family's kindness , I'll leave on my own . " Of course , when your family went bankrupt , didn't come crawling back to beg me either . [ ] | - Sharp , knife - like pain shot through my eye , making it nearly impossible to breathe . ] But I couldn't go to the hospital yet . I bent down to collect the scattered contracts from the floor . ] These represented two months of grueling work , traveling to dozens of companies worldwide to secure this deal . ] ] Iris stared at me for a moment before saying coldly : ] " Vera , you stole Emma's place - this is karma ! " ] I raised my bloodied face and said calmly . " Iris , your brother asked me to handle this deal . " [ ] " If you destroy this contract , you're destroying Leo's hard work too , , " ] Hearing this , Iris froze momentarily , then seemed even more enraged . [ ] " Vera ! Stop pretending ! " ] ப " If you hadn't killed Emma back then , she would be Leo's wife ! Not your " [ ] She hurled the documents at my injured eye . [ ] My already fragile eye took another brutal hit , nearly making me faint from pain . [ ] Спарте 1 I bit my lip . fighting back the agony without making a sound . [ ] As I gripped the railing trying to stand , Leo walked over . [ ] He glanced at me dismissively , irritated : [ ] " Iris is just a kid . Why are you making such a big deal out of this ? " [ ] " Business deals shouldn't be handled by women like you anyway . " [ ] " Hand over the contract to me , apologize to Iris , and we'll call it even . " [ ] Hearing Leo's words , Iris became smugly triumphant , raising her voice . ] ] " Nothing she does will make me forgive her ! If she wasn't useful making money for our family like a slave , how would a murderer like her deserve to enter the Stone household ! " ] The watching guests immediately began whispering after hearing her words . [ ] " The current Mrs. Stone is quite beautiful - how could she do something so heartless ? " [ ] " I heard she personally pushed her own sister off a building to steal her fiancé ! " ] ] " That's how she took her sister's place , honoring their childhood engagement to marry into wealth . " [ ] " I heard the Stone family was actually interested in the current Mrs. Stone's business skills , so they canceled the original engagement . Emma couldn't handle the rejection and jumped ... " ] " Shh ! We shouldn't talk about that ! " Leo's expression flickered with guilt at the gossip . ] I lowered my eyes , no longer defending myself . Feeling uncomfortable from the whispers , Leo turned to leave . [ ] But I remained seated , speaking calmly . ] " My eye is severely injured . I might go blind , so I won't be able to handle business anymore . " Hearing I couldn't continue securing contracts for the Stone family , Leo immediately became impatient , anger flashing across his face . " It's just a cut with some blood . Why are you being so dramatic? " ] " So what if your vision's a bit blurry ? Big deal . " ] " Don't forget - you're here on contract , using our name to make deals and look pretty at events !
