The reality of the situation hit her hard, and she was left reeling, struggling to maintain her balance as she stumbled backward.
The betrayal was too much for Ariana to bear. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Fury surged through her veins, and she balled her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She listened to the sounds of
the couple’s lovemaking with a mix of disgust and rage.
But Ariana was not defeated. She had to take action. She would not let Jasper and Brielle get away with their treachery.
With newfound determination, she wiped away her tears, slipped on her high heels, and strode back to the room. Without a
moment’s hesitation, she signed the consent form, determined to become the true daughter-in- law of the Anderson family.
And she would make sure that Jasper and Brielle would pay for their betrayal, no matter what it took.
At night, the Anderson family’s residence was illuminated by bright lights, casting a glow over the extravagant surroundings.
Ariana was escorted to Theodore’s room by the housekeeper, just after the wedding.
This was the first time she was meeting her so-called husband.Onovelbin
According to Jasper, Theodore was a man with a terrible temper, a bad character, and a cruel personality. He was even cold to
his own family, Jasper used every insulting word to describe Theodore, even “ugly.”
Ariana had believed Jasper’s words and was mentally prepared to face a husband who was anything but handsome. However,
when she saw Theodore for the first time, even though he was ill, she couldn’t help but notice his inherent nobility and incredibly

Ariana stood motionless beside the bed, admiring Theodore’s stunning features, and began to doubt everything Jasper had told

At that moment, Jasper, who was drunk and carrying a bottle, pushed the door open and swaggered into the room, speaking
loudly and with no regard for Theodore’s condition.
“I’m sorry, Aria. | was too preoccupied today, and | regret not answering your call,” Jasper uttered, feigning remorse.
Ariana had to play along with Jasper’s scheme for the time being, so she replied, “It’s alright. Don’t worry about it.”
Jasper took a swig of liquor, his smug grin widening. “I knew you would forgive me; you love me too much,” he said confidently.
Ariana clenched her fists, containing her fury. “It’s late now. We can talk about whatever you wanted to discuss tomorrow.”
Jasper locked the door, plunging the room into darkness, and slowly approached her.
Ariana retreated nervously, questioning him, “Jasper, what do you want from me?”
With a wicked smirk and the scent of liquor on his breath, Jasper pounced on her, saying, “We shouldn’t waste time. If you carry
my child, our child will become an Anderson heir.”
Jasper didn’t take Theodore seriously. How dare he want to have sex with his sister-in- law right in front of his brother!
Ariana fought back, shouting, “Let me go!”
Jasper abruptly halted, and Ariana gazed up at him, dazed. She saw his expression shift to one of pure terror, as if he had seen
a ghost behind her.
In a trembling voice, Jasper muttered, “Theodore…”
