Chapter 4
Fred’s carefully planned wedding turned into nothing more than a farce in the end.
The wedding was about to begin, but the bride had not shown up.
“Luna, what are you doing?”
“Do you have any idea how many influential nobles I’ve invited to our wedding?”
“Are you out of your mind? Don’t you realize who you’re marrying? This is the kind of high society that women dream of entering!”
I watched as message after message flashed on my phone and suddenly felt exhausted.

So, this was the satisfaction of revenge.
I put down the gossip magazines and turned around, only to meet the gaze of the man in front of me. He smiled, saying, “So, you like eavesdropping on gossip?”
His cold, detached eyes locked onto mine, and Nevo said, “Fred is about to lose his mind.”
“What does that have to do with me?” I replied coldly.
He grabbed my wrist, his grip firm. “But wherever you go, it concerns me.”
Surrounded by crowds, I didn’t want to expose myself, so I released his hand and followed him to a discreet car parked nearby.

I asked, “What do you want?”
“To help you.”
I let out a dry laugh, and he handed me a copy of some legal documents, casually saying, “Fred is suing you. Miss Joseph, you’re suspected of marriage fraud.”
“Marriage fraud? We haven’t even gotten married or registered, how could that be fraud?”
“Fred has supported you for four years, and now, he wants to get back every penny he spent on you.”
As I flipped through the pages of the documents, each sheet felt like a slap in the face.

“It’s not my luck that’s good, it’s my woman’s luck.”
“Yeah, yeah, our sister–in–law’s luck is no ordinary luck.”
“Who’s your sister–in–law?”
Fred shouted, and in the next moment, he flipped the entire poker table over.
The atmosphere shifted, and everyone in the room quickly dispersed. The only ones left were Nevo, Fred, and me.
“Luna, do you find this amusing? Do you realize our wedding was the most talked–about event in this city? You left me all alone, and now you’re making me lose face!” Fred’s eyes were ablaze with fury.
“You’re speaking too loudly,” Nevo said, his

tone calm but firm.
“Fuck you, Nevo! How dare you steal my woman? Do you know Luna is mine?” Fred roared.
“I told you, you’re speaking too loudly!” Nevo’s voice remained level.
Nevo casually drew a gun from his waist and aimed it at Fred. “Fred, didn’t I tell you? I don’t like people speaking too loudly to me.”
Fred stepped back, but Nevo wasn’t done. “I can crack a skull with a baseball bat, I can bleed someone dry with a single cut, and I can also blow your head off with one shot.”
“Nevo, she’s my woman!” Fred yelled.
“Fred,” Nevo responded coldly, lowering his gun, “did you ask Luna if she still wants to be

your woman?”
With a chilling tone, Nevo continued, “How much have you spent on her? For the past four years, I’ll make sure to repay you, principal and interest.”
Fred’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at me. “Luna, you’ll regret this.”
