Chapter 1


    “Miss Hartwell, the hospital has given you three days to settle your payment. With things as they are,


    we can only give you thetest by the end of the day. If you can’t pay your brother’s medical bills before


    midnight today, we would have to stop his medication.” Where am I going to find the money by


    midnight? Natalie Hartwell left the hospital with her face as pale as a sheet. She had tried calling her


    boyfriend on her phone but to no avail. Without any other options avable to her, she took a taxi and


    went straight to his ce. As her boyfriend ced importance on his privacy, she would not usually


    drop by his ce without his invitation. The lights were on in the bedroom upstairs. As Natalie went


    upstairs, she heard Britney Hartwell’s moansing from the bedroom, the door of which was ajar.


    “Justin, harder… Ah, I love you so much… Justin, you’re so good. No, don’t stop! I want more… Ah!”


    On top of the bed that was decorated with fresh rose petals, Justin Lewis hugged Britney with so much


    love as he said, “You little fox, do you want more, or do you want to stop? Oh, Britney, I love you so


    much.” “Justin, I love you too. But, the Langston Family has chosen me as their bride for that cripple.


    Although Daddy has contacted my sister, she hasn’t been home so far. If she doesn’t agree…” Britney


    started crying at this point. His heart ached. “It won’te to that. I’ve already got that foolish girl


    wrapped around my finger. That girl thinks that I’ve fallen in love with her. When the timees, I will


    trick her into the wedding by telling her that it’s our marriage. By that time, the Langstons wouldn’t ruin


    their own reputation by admitting that it was the wrong bride. They definitely would never allow her to


    go back on it as well.” Natalie stood frozen in ce. She could not believe her ears. As the Langstons’


    heir, Casper Langston was disabled in an ident. Because of this, his childhood sweetheart broke off


    their marriage and left abroad. This incident had made Casper theughing stock throughout the city.


    With the Langston Family unable to bear bing the butt of the joke, Old Mrs. Langston, Ethel, had


    decided that the wedding would still proceed, albeit with a different bride as she wished to retain the


    family’s dignity. It was at this time that the Hartwell Family took the initiative to offer their daughter’s


    hand. After all, they couldn’t even reach the top in the city a long time ago. To the Hartwells, it was an


    excellent deal, as all they needed was to sacrifice one of their daughters. Originally, this was Britney’s


    dream marriage, as the Langston Family was a wealthy family, albeit with a crippled heir. However, she


    wouldn’t need to lift a finger in the man’s care, as there were many caretakers in the family. With that


    said, the only problem was that Casper could not perform in bed. She immediately became reluctant in


    the marriage and immediately went through great efforts in seducing her sister’s boyfriend. To her,


    although the Lewis Family wasn’t one of the wealthiest families in the city, it was still much better than


    the Hartwell Family. Should she seed in conceiving the next heir of the Lewis Family, she could still


    be the young Madam of the Lewis Family even if she wasn’t the Madam of the Langston Family. With


    the voices in the bedroom bing much more flirtatious, Natalie clenched her hands into fists, her


    face as pale as a sheet. Britney… Justin… I will never forget this. I will make your lives a living hell!


    However, she knew that she would not be able to go against the Hartwell Family by herself, let alone


    the Lewis Family. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. “What? W-Who’s there?! Justin, what’s


    going on? Was there someone else in your house?” Britney screamed in fear. Unsettled by the abrupt


    call, Natalie immediately answered her phone. “Miss Hartwell, I’m sorry to inform you that Mr. Hartwell


    had a sudden attack. We have tried our best in resuscitating him, but unfortunately, he has passed


    away.” Natalie’s phone immediately fell to the ground and shattered with a loud sound. … Two days


    Family was present. However, she found the situationughable; as soon as the funeral ended, her

    family arranged for a makeup artist to do her makeup and threw her in a wedding dress before they


    immediately sent her off to the wedding. Without making any fuss, Natalie obediently followed her


    family’s arrangement. With how wealthy the Langston Family was, she would have no need to fear both


    the Hartwell Family and the Lewis Family with the Langston Family behind her. After calmly thinking


    about the situation, she would be able to make both Britney’s and Justin’s life difficult after being


    married into the Langston Family. Naturally, she would y her role of Casper’s wife well, in return. The


    Langstons’ wedding of the century was being held as scheduled in the Langston Residence. The


    people, who were waiting to see the end of the joke of the wedding, were all dumbfounded when they


    saw Natalie’s appearance. Instantly, the audience began specting the identity of the new bride


    amongst themselves. Among the crowd, Justin was dressed to the nines. He was slightly startled when


    Natalie made her appearance. With that pure white wedding dress, the white tiara on her head, and her


    red sultry lips under the spotlight, she was unmistakably beautiful and charming at this very moment.


    Natalie? When did she be so beautiful? He thought his eyes were ying tricks on him. … At the


    end of the ceremony. The Langston Family’s driver drove Natalie to the Langstons’ Moperville Vi,


    which was located halfway up the hill. Mrs. Jenkins, the caretaker, gave Natalie a brief tour around the


    mansion and left Natalie in Casper’s room after that. In the room, Natalie immediately noticed Casper


    lying on the bed. Natalie’s husband, Casper Langston, once stood at the very top of the city. He was a


    powerful man as he had single-handedly made a huge business empire. However, just when his


    business reached its peak, a car ident had taken away his glory. Although the man’s face was


    slightly pale, it did not diminish the man’s attractiveness. With his sharp chiseled face and dreamy


    eyes, he still looked magnificent even in sickness. After observing the man for a long time, Natalie


    started to notice that something was off. She tried shouting to wake the man but to no avail, as the man


    gave no reaction and stayed motionless like a corpse even after she tried poking the man’s face


    several times. No wonder they say that he can’t perform in bed. He’s basically aatose patient!
