Chapter 1

On my sister's wedding night, she caught me having an affair with her husband.

The wedding guests pointed at me, laughing at how disgraceful our family was. My father had a heart attack from the shock, while my mother rushed over in tears, scratching my face and pulling my hair, forcing me to kneel and apologize to my sister.

At that moment, I became the most despicable and promiscuous woman in Cloud City.

Gabriel Knight, satisfied with our encounter, elegantly buttoned up his shirt. In front of everyone, he suddenly grabbed my neck, his tone cold and indifferent.

"Not bad, but your methods of climbing the social ladder are a bit crude."

As I struggled to breathe, I couldn't help but laugh hysterically.

Because in my previous life, this was exactly how he choked my sister when she was eight months pregnant,

Until the baby stopped moving completely.

When Rose kicked open the hotel room door, I was straddling her fiancé's waist.

"What are you doing?!"

Rose, dressed in an elegant wedding gown, looked like a devastated clown.

I threw my head back and laughed, gently biting Gabriel's ear.

"Your husband says white wedding dresses are too dull. He prefers my black lace~"

"You whore!"

My usually gentle sister cursed for the first time in her life.

She grabbed a nearby glass and hurled it at me. The shards grazed the corner of my eye, drawing blood, nearly blinding me.

Amidst the gasps of the guests, our father arrived and collapsed, clutching his chest at the sight.

"Someone's dying! Call 911!"

"How awful, the Rivers family adopted a viper!"

In the chaos, our elderly mother charged through the crowd like a lioness, her eyes blazing red as she slapped me hard across the face.

"You ungrateful bitch! Have you forgotten how your sister worked five jobs a day to pay for your surgery when we adopted you?!"

The pain left me speechless, but my mother grabbed my hair and dragged me off the bed, throwing me at my sister's feet.

Meanwhile, Rose's fiancé - Gabriel Knight - stood by coldly, observing like an outsider.

"Apologize to your sister! Kneel and beg for forgiveness!"

My mother angrily pulled my hair, slamming my head against the floor repeatedly.

My forehead bled from the impacts, some drops even staining Rose's pristine white wedding dress.

"I won't! I love Gabriel Knight!"

I shouted defiantly, my makeup smeared like a ghost's.

My sister, who had always loved and cared for me, slapped me for the first time. Her diamond ring cut my cheek, drawing blood.

Trembling, screaming, she broke down and yelled.

"Gabriel is mine! Lily Rivers, don't you dare!"

This scene of the Rivers sisters turning against each other over Cloud City's elite bachelor clearly pleased Gabriel Knight immensely.

The man elegantly buttoned his shirt, got off the bed, and suddenly grabbed my neck, his tone frivolous as if appraising merchandise.

"Not bad, but your methods of climbing the social ladder are a bit crude."

I rolled my eyes, my face turning red from near suffocation.

But I couldn't help grinning widely.

Yes, just thinking about how I got Gabriel Knight first in this life,

Made me tremble with joy all over.
