Chapter 2
Lyla and Kyson’s grand wedding was held at the renowned Grand Hotel.
The wedding guests were all elite figures from various industries.
Lyla wore a custom–made wedding dress, her every gesture radiating smugness and arrogance.
She deliberately walked over to me with Kyson to offer a toast, clearly showing off.
“Helen, this is your first time meeting Kyson, isn’t it? When your business goes bankrupt later, maybe Kyson can give you a hand!”
“What’s the point of a woman working so hard? Finding a good man should be the priority. Too bad you’ll never have that kind of luck.”
Finally able to trample me underfoot, she smiled with particular satisfaction.
Kyson beside her was quite gentlemanly, nodding politely at me.
Sensing her arrogant attitude, he frowned slightly.
Based on our experience living together for many years in my

After all, Lyla was truly too foolish.

Once he gradually grew tired of Lyla, she would probably face her own hell.
Seeing that I remained silent, she assumed I was jealous.
After mocking me a few more times, she triumphantly pulled
Kyson away.
I really wasn’t in the mood to argue with her, since I had just taken over the company and still needed to expand many business connections.
It was rare to have so many business moguls gathered together today, so I quickly grabbed my wine glass to network.
In my previous life, Lyla arrogantly believed she was already the CEO and didn’t need to show respect to anyone.
Not only was she willful and reckless, but she also repeatedly turned away potential business partners.
She didn’t understand that there’s always someone better out there, and she quickly offended New York’s most powerful Graham family, getting blacklisted that very night.
I absolutely couldn’t make the same mistake, so I humbly

In the end, I successfully left a good impression on several big shots.
Having just finished all this, I finally had a chance to relax.
But suddenly there was a commotion in the center of the hall.
“You did that on purpose! Do you think I’m blind? This is my wedding day – how dare you ruin my mood! Do you know who my husband is?”
Lyla, who had been all smiles just moments ago, was now glaring viciously at a young girl.
The girl seemed to be encountering this kind of situation for the first time and was frantically trying to explain.
“I really didn’t do it on purpose! I was looking for my brother and accidentally bumped into you. I already apologized…”
Being watched by so many people, the girl’s face turned red with. embarrassment, and she was on the verge of tears.
This was really just a minor incident.
But Lyla insisted on treating it as a perfect opportunity to show off her power in front of everyone, relentlessly harassing the girl.

“No way! This dress was flown in from France! You got it dirty! You couldn’t afford to pay for it even if you worked your whole life!”
“I’ve never seen you before. Are you some waitress who snuck in here?”
In high society circles, everyone knows each other’s backgrounds.
Lyla felt this girl had no backing, which is why she dared to keep bullying her.
Seeing the girl about to cry, I couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward.
“Lyla, what are you doing? She didn’t do it on purpose either. Just let it go this time.”
Being publicly criticized by me, Lyla felt displeased and sneered:
“How do you know she didn’t do it on purpose? What if she’s just jealous that I married well? I’ve seen plenty of people like that!”
“Why are you helping her? Did you arrange for her to come here and cause trouble?”
I never expected Lyla to frame me, and my expression
immediately darkened.
