Chapter 1
The heir to New York’s wealthiest family is
d to marry into mine.
Before the wedding, he coldly informs me about his mistress, claiming he’ll marry and have children with her, demanding all three of us hold the ceremony together.
In my past life, after I desperately opposed this, the mistress was assaulted by thugs and jumped to her death in
shame.
My newlywed husband remained unmoved. He used my family’s support to survive his financial crisis and secured his position as America’s richest man.]
Later, he personally led police to frame and kill my father, and during my labor, he forced the baby back into my womb, letting me die in agony.]
“If you hadn’t opposed this, she wouldn’t have been bullied to death by those thugs! Since you’re so vicious, killing my beloved, you’ll pay with blood.“]
After being tortured to death, I opened my eyes again–reborn to the moment he knelt before my father, begging for a three–person wedding.
This time, I graciously chose the wedding dress for his mistress myself, then turned to contact the eldest son of Europe’s wealthiest family–a genius F1 driver who’d won five consecutive championships and my childhood friend who’d secretly loved me for over ten years:
“I want to get married, but I don’t want my current groom. Are you interested in marrying me?”
“Dad, it’s okay. I agree to the three–person wedding.“]
The moment those words left my mouth, my father’s face darkened.[]
The Lario family was one of New York’s Big Four wealthy dynasties, and I was the Harvard Business School graduate heiress. My wedding wouldn’t just be packed with guests–my godfather from London and elite nobles from every industry worldwide would attend.[]
Agreeing to a three–person wedding was so absurd it wouldn’t just humiliate me. It would make the entire Lario family a laughingstock.]
Yet Ryan, who’d made this ridiculous request, lit up with delight:[]
“Dorothy, I knew you’d agree! We grew up together, and you’ve always had the softest heart. You’d definitely sympathize with Jessilia being all alone in the world.“]

“Don’t worry, you’ll always be the one I love most. Even when Jessilia has the baby, she’ll call you godmother.“[]
I smiled softly and lowered my head, hiding the raging hatred in my eyes.
In my past life, the agony of my body being torn apart and my father’s bruised, rotting corpse flashed through my mind.
Looking at Ryan’s shameless face now, I wanted nothing more than to tear him apart on the spot.]
But for now, I had to suppress my fury and smile as I helped him up from where he’d been kneeling and begging:]
“A wedding is just a ceremony anyway. Do whatever makes you happy–I don’t mind.“]]
Ryan froze, studying me with confusion:[]
u.“]
“Dorothy, are you mad at me? If you don’t want this, I can keep Jessilia out of it and just marry you.‘
He watched me carefully, but the flash of resentment in his eyes didn’t escape my notice.[]
Ryan knew exactly how crucial this marriage alliance between the Shelton and Lario families was.]
The Shelton family’s overseas factories had been seized by foreign governments, and the compensation they’d received was pathetic. The Shelton family’s financial chain had snapped as a result.]
One wrong move, and their massive empire would collapse into bankruptcy.
If Ryan wanted to fill that gap and survive this crisis, he needed the Lario family’s help.[]
Too bad in my past life, he’d been so obsessed with Jessilia’s fragile, pitiful act that he couldn’t see the bigger picture. And in this lifetime, nothing would change.]
“Ryan, do I look angry to you?“]
“You know I’ve loved you since we were kids. Just marrying you makes me happy enough. Besides, your compassion for Jessilia proves how kind you are. That makes me happy too.”
Ryan’s face immediately brightened as he grabbed my hand:[]
“Dorothy, I’m so glad you feel that way! Marrying such a generous, virtuous wife–I’m truly blessed.“[]
“It’s just…” Ryan paused, hesitating slightly:]
“The wedding’s tomorrow, but Jessilia has nothing to wear. Why don’t you let her have your wedding dress? And maybe that auctioned Queen’s diamond necklace too?“]
“You know Jessilia’s all alone in the world. If she looks shabby at our wedding, people will mock her.“]
My father shot up, ready to kick Ryan out the door.[]

But I smiled and said:
“Wouldn’t wearing my wedding dress embarrass Jessilia even more? I’ll have the designer work through the night to create a custom gown just for her–the most luxurious, diamond–encrusted style available. I guarantee she’ll outshine everyone at tomorrow’s wedding.”
“As for the necklace you mentioned, why don’t you write me an IOU? Consider it buying a wedding gift for your ‘sister.‘ That way it’s a gesture from your heart.“[]
Ryan hesitated. After all, this necklace was a British royal heirloom I’d won at auction for three hundred million
dollars.
Seeing his hesitation, I quickly added:
“Ryan, this is just for show! We’re husband and wife–what’s mine is yours! I’m thinking of your reputation here. Having a husband give his wife’s necklace to his mistress… that doesn’t sound good.“]]
“Right, you’re so thoughtful, Dorothy.”
Ryan quickly signed the IOU, excitedly clutching the jewelry box as he rushed out.
I turned to my father.
“Dad, what do you think about a marriage alliance with Godfather Thomas Henry’s family?“||]
