Under the fury of Marsh Smith, he rarely called Ava Wright by her full name. He used to call her Ava with affection. Ava Wright was just about to explain. Marsh Smith, unable to suppress his anger, shouted: "Ava Wright, did you do it on purpose? You never intended for Amelia Wright to marry me from the start; you deliberately played me!" Ava Wright, unable to care about her anger, hurriedly explained: "It’s not like that; it was Amelia who schemed against me. She knew about the substitute marriage all along, I’m also a victim." Marsh Smith didn’t believe it at all: "Ava Wright, are you insisting on treating me like a fool? Those two bridesmaids are your people, with your dad coordinating in the Wright family. How did Amelia manage to scheme against you? Tell me, she’s just a frail girl, how did she scheme against your whole family!" Ava Wright was speechless: "I was injected with tranquilizers and fed some drug; at that time, I was too weak to resist or speak." Marsh Smith sneered coldly: "Then how come you can speak now?" "Now... maybe now because the drug effect has worn off." "Ava Wright, do you really take me for a fool? You’ve really disappointed me!" After Marsh Smith finished speaking, he turned around and left, banging the door shut. Ava Wright was livid. This wasn’t her scheme at all. Even if it was, did Marsh Smith have to throw such a tantrum? She was able to marry Marsh Smith; shouldn’t Marsh Smith be grateful? She dressed up so beautifully today, and Marsh Smith didn’t even spare her a glance; he only thought of Amelia. Ava Wright, in a rage, tore out her neatly tied hair and ripped off the ornaments on her wedding gown, leaving a mess on the ground. After a long time, Ava Wright finally calmed down. Now that the situation was set, being angry wouldn’t change anything. The only thing to do now was to win back Marsh Smith’s heart. Though Marsh Smith was angry now, it shouldn’t be too hard to win him back, she thought. On the wedding night, Marsh Smith ran off to the old district. He shouted Amelia’s name loudly outside, but didn’t catch a glimpse of her; being too loud, Hailey Smith drove him away. Marsh Smith, heartbroken, called a few friends and drank the entire night at a bar. By the next day, many in the circle knew Marsh Smith had left his new bride to drink in sorrow, looking more like he was forced to marry rather than being happily wed. The gossip had already spread far. Oliver Wright was still unaware. The next morning, as Ava Wright regained her strength, she rushed back to the Wright family. Upon seeing Ava Wright, Oliver Wright immediately expressed his displeasure: "Where did you run off to yesterday? You shouldn’t be wandering around at this time; it affects the reputation if people see." Ava Wright didn’t even sit down to rest and said eagerly: "Amelia schemed against me yesterday. The one who married into the Smith family isn’t Amelia; it’s actually me!" After a while, he erupted in fury: "What did you say!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Ava Wright spoke angrily: "I really underestimated Amelia, that vile woman’s tactics..." Oliver Wright slapped Ava Wright across the face, interrupting her words. Oliver Wright, raging with fury, exclaimed: "You useless fool! Do you know what it means if the substitute marriage fails? Amelia won’t listen to us, and the Wright Corporation won’t get the designs—all ruined by you, this idiot." Ava Wright had long lost respect for Oliver Wright and no longer fears him like she used to. After being hit, she immediately lashed back: "I’m an idiot? Then what are you? You didn’t even know the maid was bribed by Amelia; I begged you for rescue while being dragged into the wedding car, and you couldn’t see anything. Managing such a big company, yet being led by the nose by Amelia, who’s really the fool!" Oliver Wright, furious, raised his hand to hit again. Ava Wright grabbed Oliver’s incoming hand. Fuming and defiant, she said: "If you hit me again, I swear I’ll never return; don’t regret it then!" Ava Wright leveraged the fact she was Oliver Wright’s only daughter to be defiant. If she didn’t come back, when Oliver Wright died, no one would bury him. Oliver Wright shook off Ava’s hand and coldly said: "Then leave and never come back." Ava’s eyes widened, surprised that Oliver Wright would actually throw her out. Oliver Wright didn’t care. His disobedient, married daughter had no value; he had a son. Ava Wright stormed out angrily. Fine, she would leave. She wasn’t afraid. Just wait till Oliver Wright fell ill and lonely; he would regret it. She would be the true lady of the Allen family, a genuine heiress. Marsh Smith would eventually kneel before her and apologize. In her miserable mood, Ava Wright enjoyed shopping. She headed alone to the luxury store. Just as she was about to enter, she saw familiar faces inside, whispering about her. "Hasn’t Marsh Smith liked Ava Wright a lot over the years? How come he finally married her, yet doesn’t seem happy?" "Why else, Ava Wright isn’t as great as he imagined, and now he regrets marrying her." "Indeed, with Ava Wright’s pretentiousness, any girl can see through it, except those straight guys who couldn’t. Well, now he’s regretting it, isn’t he?" "Didn’t Ava Wright borrow money from you? Now that the Smith family disregards her, aren’t you worried she won’t pay it back?" The women laughed and gossiped. The girl who lent the money chuckled and said: "If she can’t pay back, I’ll go to the Wright family and make her dad return it!" The store erupted in laughter. Ava Wright stood at the door, furious to the point of turning pale. Though she borrowed money, she only asked those she thought were friends; she didn’t expect them to gossip about her borrowing. Outrageous! Ava Wright stormed in. The laughter in the luxury store ceased upon her arrival. Ava Wright sarcastically remarked: "Who would’ve thought some folks are nice to your face and backstab behind your back; it’s truly disgusting." "Ava Wright, who are you calling disgusting!" "You borrow money to shop at luxury stores, yet have the cheek to call me disgusting? Then why don’t you repay me since you’re so tough?" Ava Wright was equally enraged: "Of course I’ll pay; your paltry sum is nothing to me." Ava immediately repaid the borrowed money, checked her card balance, realizing she couldn’t shop in the luxury store anymore, and pretended to be mad while walking away. The woman who received the repayment said acidly: "Oh, heading out already? Come so far, why not buy some new items? Or is it that the Wright family’s daughter can’t afford them? Really embarrassing coming here without money." According to Ava Wright’s character, she would surely march in, buy the most expensive items, and prove them wrong. But her card barely had any money; after repaying the loan, the balance was insufficient. Ava Wright acted like she didn’t hear, clenched her teeth, and left. Everyone was provoking her, weren’t they? Just wait; when she has money, she’ll show them revenge. Soon, she’ll have half a billion; mere small sums are trifling. These lowlifes, she’ll step on them one by one. Then let’s see Oliver Wright’s regret with bitterness!
