Michelle gritted her teeth in anger. She went to the staff and showed her the certificates.


    "What sort of joke is this? The man I came here with earlier was Xavier Wace, and you got me married to Richard Wace?!" She barked, veins popping on her neck out of frustration.


    At first, the staff was wondering what Michelle could be whispering to Anastasia. But seeing the mix-up, she felt a cold sweat run down her back.


    "You need to fix this!" Michelle ordered, her anger palpable. She had been daydreaming about how her wedding night with Xavier was going to feel like. But now that she wasn''t married to Xavier as she''d expected, she felt a sudden urge to kill.


    The staff nodded vehemently, rushing from her seat to find out what could have caused the mix-up.


    Michelle turned to Anastasia. "I''m sure you are happy about this. You bribed the staff to swap the IDs, right? I know your ways, Anastasia. Mum and Dad are going to hear about this, and I will make sure they beat the truth out of you," she threatened, her teeth gnashing together while her fists clenched on the certificates.


    Michelle had never imagined getting married to Richard, Xavier''s younger brother. He never took his life seriously and never set a goal for himself. The only reason he seemed important was because he came from the Wace family. She didn''t want to be married to such a person. She deemed it to be an abomination.


    "What are you saying, Michelle? How could I have bribed the staff? We came here at different hours to register, and there are many staff here as well," said Anastasia, hoping Michelle would believe her.


    The staff came back, sweat already glistening on her forehead.


    "I''m s-sorry, Mrs. Wace. There w-was a fault with our system and it ended up swapping y-your IDs," the staff stuttered, afraid of her own life especially since Xavier Wace was involved. She was internally hoping she wouldn''t lose her job.


    "Shut up! This is a city hall for crying out loud and you are telling me there was a fault with your system? Don''t tell me lies. She," Michelle pointed at Anastasia. "She bribed you, didn''t she?"


    The staff nced between Michelle and Anastasia, confused by Michelle''s words. All she could do was shake her head. "No ma''am—"


    The staff didn''t get the chance toplete her sentence when Michelle stormed out of the city hall, dragging Anastasia along with her.


    "Get in the car," she ordered when they reached outside. "We are going home and you are going to exin to Mom and Dad how this mistake happened," Michelle added, getting into the car.


    Anastasia had no choice but to get into the car.


    Michelle drove the car, heading to the Harrison mansion while calling Ana names now and then.


    Thetter kept quiet, awaiting her doom as soon as they got out of the car since Michelle had already texted their parents about the mix-up.


    "You''d better confess now, else Dad is only going to beat you up to a pulp," she threatened nonstop.


    They finally arrived at the mansion. Michelle stepped down from the car and dragged Anastasia inside.


    Reaching the living room, Michelle pulled Anastasia with so much force that thetter fell on the ground—wincing in pain.


    "So, you were so greedy to have what your sister wanted that you went to the extent of bribing the staff members at the city hall to have your photo exchanged with Michelle''s, huh?" Amelia questioned, the intensity of her re scaring the skeletons out of Anastasia. "I''m talking to you, can''t you speak?" She demanded.


    "What else can she say, mum? She has been caught red-handed so she has nothing to say," said Michelle.


    "You are going to get a divorce from Xavier," their father, Robert dered, his expression also holding the same amount of disdain as the other two as he red down at her.


    Anastasia got up from the ground, and gulped down her saliva before she replied, "I don''t want to divorce Xavier." She had no idea where that confidence came from, but she hoped it stayed longer.


    With gritted teeth, Robert threatened, "In that case, I will lock you up. No food and water until you agree to divorce him."


    Michelle grinned when she heard her father.


    Robert dragged Anastasia even though she tried to stop him by pleading, but he didn''t halt for a second. When they got to her room, he threw her in and locked it.


    "Dad, please." Anastasia''s voice could be heard from inside, but they all ignored her.


    All of a sudden, Robert got a phone call. He picked up the call without looking at the caller, anger still evident in his expression.


    "Who is it?" He demanded.


    When he got the news over the phone, his expression went from surprised to sudden rage which made him grip his phone tightly in his hand.


    "Who was that?" Amelia asked when she saw her husband''s expression.


    "It was thewyer. He said the doctor attending to mother and father just contacted him, saying that both of them were dead. He also said that they had transferred all their properties to Anastasia," Robert forced the words out of his mouth.
