Once people at the company learned about our relationship, they treated Wesley with respect, envying him for having a wealthy partner like me. Neighbors praised Wesley as a good husband who took great care of his wife.
Hearing these words, he would just laugh sheepishly. Only I knew he wasn’t with me for my money. In fact, I had married a
future big shot.
I never expected to run into Jasper and Nora abroad after half a year. I was carrying my bag, ready to go to work when I bumped into them at the company entrance.
Jasper and I locked eyes for a moment before he dropped his luggage and rushed over.
“Cora, everyone says you’re married, I don’t believe it. I want to hear it from you!”

I frowned and moved closer to the company entrance.
“Why should I explain anything to you? Yes, I am married. You’ve heard it; now you can leave.”
Hearing my cold words, Jasper was stunned, standing there in disbelief.
Nora feigned concern as she approached, rubbing her belly.
Sister, how could you marry a vagrant just to spite us because I married Jasper? What if that vagrant has a contagious disease? I’m worried for you!”
I was utterly disgusted by her fake concern, fighting the urge to vomit. “What are you talking about? My husband is not a
vagrant.”
Nora stepped forward and rolled up my sleeve. Seeing no bruises on me, her face turned dark with frustration.
I hadn’t changed, wearing neat clothes, looking clean, even carrying a branded bag. Naturally, Nora felt unbalanced. Why hadn’t
I gone through what she did in the past life?
In her last life, she was tormented by a vagrant, living worse than a dog, while I hadn’t changed a bit and seemed to be living
even better.
Nora grew jealous and snapped at me bitterly.
“Cora, why are you hiding? What’s this act? Marrying a vagrant brings shame to the Cora family. Shameless. I’ll tell Mom and Dad to see how low you’ve stooped!”
Hearing this, Jasper grabbed my hand authoritatively. “Cora, come back with me. There’s no need to suffer here.”
I chuckled and shook off his hand. “Go back? Is there anything left for me in the country? Jasper, you’re ridiculous. I let you have your affair, I apologized, and now you pretend to care for me?”
“Isn’t my pain all thanks to you two?”
Jasper, with red eyes, gripped my wrist tightly.
“I know you’re upset. Let’s go back and talk about it!”
I struggled desperately, and as my coworkers hesitated to help me, a stick flew over.
An employee had sensed something was wrong and hurriedly informed Wesley. Wesley came over with a security team.
The stick hit Jasper’s hand, and he clutched it in pain. I took the chance to escape and hid behind Wesley.
Seeing the people at the company protecting me, Nora’s face twisted with jealousy.
She taunted Jasper, “Jasper, let’s go. We can’t take my sister. These security guards are all skilled. If sister doesn’t want to come, let her be! Why should we make things difficult for her?”
Jasper, clutching his hand that was hit by the stick, sweated with pain.
“Shut up! What does this have to do with you? I don’t care how many security guards there are. No one can stop me from taking
Cora today!

Jasper, veins bulging, roared at Nora.
Wesley didn’t bother with Jasper in front of him and turned to look at me with concern.
“Honey, I’m late.”
Jasper and Nora were shocked at his words, finally noticing the person calling me “honey.”
They hadn’t expected that I married someone other than that vagrant.
Nora recognized Wesley. In her past life, she had learned of Wesley’s background, offered herself to him to escape, but Wesley had rejected her.
Nora was incredulous, angrily pointing at us. “Why can you women? You’re full of it!”
She screamed hysterically at us, her hands trembling.
Harry
him? Why? Wesley, weren’t you aloof? Didn’t you shun
“You… you should have married that vagrant! You should have been assaulted, locked up at home. How could you marry Wesley? Impossible! Impossible!”
Everyone present was confused, feeling like Nora had gone mad.
Jasper, hearing Nora’s words, also remembered. After Nora’s death in the past life, it wasn’t long before Wesley returned to the Wesley family with thunderous methods, seizing the wealth and becoming the youngest billionaire.
“Cora… you…”
“Jasper, you’ve already married my sister. It’s been over between us for a long time. It’s meaningless for you to pester me now. I don’t want to see you two anymore. You should leave, I won’t see you off!”
Wesley was still out of the loop, frowning. “Are you my wife’s family? Rest assured, she won’t suffer with me. But you, brother–in–law, how can you treat my wife like this?”
With that, Wesley carried me upstairs in the company. The security team kept a wary eye on Jasper and Nora.
Jasper gritted his teeth, not daring to stop us.
In the office, Wesley tenderly rubbed my wrist.
I looked at him and was silent for a moment.
“I did have a bit of a past with Jasper, but he gave me extremely bad memories. He’s my psychological shadow.”
