Stoney turned around in surprise and scrutinized her face, asking, “Have we met before?”
2
“No. Allow me to introduce myself, sir. I’m Giselle Brown, a jewelry designer,” Looking him in the eyes, Giselle said with courtesy.
B
Then Stoney said to his assistant, who was standing next to him, “Look into the information about her and send it to me.”
B
The assistant recognized Giselle at a glance. Then he made some phone calls. It didn’t take a long time before he sent information about Giselle to Stoney’s phone.
Stoney looked at his phone and then at her face. After that, he called her name as if he was thinking of something, “Giselle Brown?”
12
Hearing that, Giselle nodded quickly, “Yes?”
S
Stoney didn’t say more and stared at the photo in the file, occupying himself in thinking-
18
Giselle Brown, as the designer of Sanders Jewelry, you’re also the girlfriend of Harman Sanders, the CEO of Sanders Jewelry. At the age of 18, you drew a design of a piece of jewelry, which sold well at home and abroad. However, it is a pity that you didn’t seem to draw anything good in recent years. Are you a one–hit wonder?
B
In contrast, your sister, Lynne, had won great prizes in the past few years and just won the championship of Jewelry Contest of Mason City. Besides, her style is extremely similar to yours.
1
Stoney instantly understood that Lynne stole Giselle’s design for he had seen all the dirty deeds in this circle. At a glance at Giselle, he said in satisfaction, “Deal”
B
Giselle finally sighed in relief. She married Stoney McGrady for nothing but to make Harman Sanders regret deceiving her. She wanted Harman to know that a jerk like him didn’t deserve a brilliant woman like her at all.
Soon, they finished the whole procedure. Meanwhile, the clerk joked that they made a very attractive couple.}
Giselle blushed while Stoney only answered coldly, “Thanks.“}
Half an hour later, Giselle walked out of the courthouse as Stoney’s wife. She saw through the glass of the front door of the courthouse and spotted that Lynne and Harman were still waiting in line. As Stoney and Giselle received VIP service, they were surely faster than them.}
Stoney looked at her with no expression on his face, “Get into the car. Let’s have a meal first.”
Giselle pressed her lips together, “OK!“Z
2
After they got into the car, Giselle saw Harman and Lynne walking out of the courthouse hand in hand. Harman was holding his phone, looking pale and embarrassed. And Lynne was holding a new marriage license in her hand, looking quite happy-
Giselle sneered in her heart, What? Why are you looking so upset, Harman? Aren’t you supposed to be happy on your wedding day? Ha, ha! You must’ve read the news that I leaked to social media about you secretly getting married to Lynne. As for you, Lynne, you’re just like your mother! The two of you know nothing better than being others‘ mistresses! First, it was your mother stealing my father from my mom. And now, you’ve even stolen Harman away from me!
2
Suddenly, Giselle’s phone rang, interrupting her trace of thoughts. Stoney took a glance at her and then looked outside the car window. Giselle took a photo of Lynne and Harman before she answered the phone and started recording.
И
“Giselle speaking.”
И
“Giselle, where are you?” Harman seemed to be very anxious.
14
“I’m in the hotel. What’s wrong?” Giselle answered calmly.
И
“Honey, I saw a report about me marrying another woman with a photo posted. Listen to me, the photo is fake. Don’t believe the fake news. I’ve never cheated on you and I never will. You have to believe me!“]
Giselle’s eyes twinkled for a second, “So, what was actually going on?”

1, emm… She’s just a friend and she was gonna marry another friend of mine. So, I gave her a ride to the courthouse. How am I supposed to. know that my act of kindness would end up being misunderstood by the media?”
8
“Do I know that friend of yours?” Giselle said flatly.
B
“She… You haven’t met her before. Her boyfriend is my schoolmate back when I was in college. I barely know her.” Harman was lying through his teeth.
B
Giselle just said, “OK, I’m hanging up.”
&
“Wait, Giselle. Now that you believe me, we should explain the whole thing at a press conference this afternoon. Otherwise, the news will have
a bad influence on Sanders Jewelry. Have you seen how those morons on the Internet scolded me? You have to stay by my side!”
B
A cold sneer appeared on her lips. Giselle thought, Well, said the man who betrayed me!
Giselle tried to speak in a calm tone, “OK, let’s meet this afternoon.”
After she hung up, she kept her head down in silence.
“Your ex–boyfriend?” Stoney glanced at her and asked.
8
“Yeah,” said Giselle.
8
Stoney then talked to her as if she was one of his subordinates, “I don’t want you to mess with him anymore after we get married.”
Giselle looked up at Stoney calmly, “Don’t worry. I won’t mess with him anymore. But you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone about us getting married. You are always the center of attention, but I want to keep a low profile.”
8
“Deal,” Stoney said as if it had nothing to do with him.
Giselle moved her head back down. She thought that Stoney wouldn’t talk to her anymore since he was so cold and indifferent. Out of her expectation, he suddenly asked, “Did Lynne Brown use your designs in all those contests?”
B
Giselle looked up at him in astonishment, “How did you know?” Meanwhile, she thought, No one knows about the secret except for me and those two assholes.
B
Stoney said coldly, “Her style of design is very similar to yours. One doesn’t need to be a genius to figure it out.“|
Z
Giselle was still shocked, “Really? I thought nobody knew about it.”
Z
Instead of responding to her words, he asked, “Do you need any help?”
2
Giselle quickly shook her head, “No, thanks. I can take my own revenge. I just need you to give me some time because I can only disentangle myself from him after the revenge. But you can trust me. I’ll never betray you. Urgh, Harman that son of a b***h disgusts me!”
Stoney cast a glance at her with surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect her to be so tough, “If you don’t want me to avenge you, then why did you marry me?“Z
2
“Well, you run a famous jewelry company and I happen to be an excellent jewelry designer. We can cooperate with each other,” Giselle said frankly.
☑
“But you can still cooperate with me even if you don’t get married to me,” Stoney said indifferently.
2
“If you don’t marry me, then you won’t be able to piss off the woman who just dumped you. And I bet that you would love to get back at her, right?”
“I don’t want to get back at her.”
И
“Huh? Then what do you want?”
24
“I want her to regret for the rest of her life that she dumped me. And I will never let her come back to me even if she begs me on her knees.”
И
Hearing that, Giselle couldn’t help thinking to herself, Wow! It seems that you are crueler than me in terms of dealing with relationships.<
After that, Stoney started to take a liking to her, “I don’t care how you take your revenge. But now that you have married me, you have to meet
my s**** needs. It is not a nominal wife that I want. Also, I’m not going to divorce you after we both get what we want.”
