As soon as the words left my mouth, everyone looked at me with even more disdain. Some even spat at me. 

Fury rose within me. Ignoring the blood dripping down my face, I gritted my teeth and glared at the butler while shouting, “I don’t care who paid you to spread these lies, but this villa belongs to the Siegel family! My husband, Thomas Siegel, is the rightful owner! 

“How dare you show up uninvited to throw a wedding and then lay your hands on me? If my husband finds out, you won’t get away with this!” 

As I shouted in anger, Haley burst into laughter. Her voice cut through the air. 

“Hahaha! You say you’re Thomas Siegel’s wife? Who is that man? I’ve never heard of him. He’s probably some poor beggar. Of course, a lowly woman like you only deserves to be with a beggar… 

“You’re causing a scene at my wedding and ruining my mood. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn. Girls, get her!” 

At her command, her lackeys rushed at me like animals. They tore at my clothes, snatched my Hermès bag, and destroyed it with scissors, all the while mocking me for carrying such a convincing counterfeit. 

Guests who had begun to arrive in the villa started pulling out their phones to capture the fight. 

Haley worried that her actions would damage her image as Mrs. Baumer. So, she ordered her lackeys to drag me into the restroom. 

Ignoring my screams, they shoved my head into the toilet bowl. 

The stench and the suffocating feeling almost killed me. In that desperate moment, I summoned all my strength to shove Haley away and bolted out of the restroom. I raced toward the exit of the villa.
