“Exactly. The richest heiress in the city‘? Not anymore.

“If Liam decides to let Chloe live at home with him after
uding,
won’t be able to say anything.”
My father listened to these words, shaking with rage, and finally understood why I didn’t choose them.
He couldn’t help but roar at Liam, “How dare you!”

But Liam thought he was scolding me. He sneered, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me toward his car. “Did you hear that? Your dad said you’re being disrespectful! Hurry up! Don’t make me late for Chloe!”
My parents tried to intervene but were held back by Brandon and Noah.
My wrist burned from his grip. “Let go! If my husband gets here, you’ll regret it too late!”
The words had barely left my mouth when Liam mercilessly slapped me across the face.
My wedding tiara was knocked straight to the ground.
The entire crowd fell silent.
He said nonchalantly, “Your husband is me! Now come with me!”

He said nonchalantly, “Your husband is me! Now come with me!”
Just then, the screech of tires filled the air from outside the estate. Dozens of supercars, acting as wedding cars, screeched to a
halt in front of us.
Julian Vance, dressed in his groom’s suit, stepped out of the lead car, his face dark as he roared, “Let go of my wife!”
Seeing Julian, Liam frowned, his face full of impatience. “You again! What does my wedding to Aria Thorne have to do with you?! Get lost!”
Julian completely ignored him, striding forward and pulling me behind him.
He stared intensely at Liam. “I said, let go of my wife. Are you deaf?!”
My parents rushed forward, checking if I was hurt.
Seeing the red mark on my face, they trembled with fury. “Since when does *our* Aria Thorne get picked up by *your* Sterling family?!”
It was then that Liam realized I wasn’t joking.
He hesitated for a moment, then jutted out his chin. “I think Aria Thorne is just saying she’ll marry this nanny’s son to spite me! It’s a joke!”
“What about a stinking nanny’s son could possibly compare to me?!”
Brandon glanced at the dozens of supercars behind Julian, then scoffed. “Who knows where a low–class servant like him stole money to put on such a show!”
Noah, sharp–eyed, spotted Mr. Vance, the global billionaire, stepping out of the last car.
He pointed at Mr. Vance, saying to Liam, “Isn’t that Mr. Vance, the global billionaire?”
“Your parents must be truly capable to have him come here to watch your wedding!”
Hearing this, Liam puffed out his chest and ordered my parents, “Why aren’t you dragging Aria Thorne into the car already?”
“Do you need Mr. Vance to arrive and back me up before you realize your mistake?”
My parents exchanged glances, then couldn’t help but laugh. “Back you up?”
“You should look at yourself and see if you’re even worthy!”
In truth, Julian Vance was no nanny’s son; he was the eldest son of the global billionaire, the Vance family.
I only learned this when I died in my last life: because he had fallen for me at first sight during a banquet when he was young, but also knew I had three pre–arranged marriage prospects, he had defied his family’s objections and silently pretended to be a nanny’s son just to stay by my side.
In this life, I wouldn’t choose the wrong person again, and I would make Liam and the others pay!
Liam, hearing my parents‘ words, turned beet red and roared, “You don’t actually think you can still be the city’s richest, do you?”
“Once my parents strike a deal with the Vance family! The Sterling family will be the richest in the city!”
“Then you won’t even be fit to lick sued
