At that moment, I lay on the ground, hair disheveled and bruised, looking utterly
pathetic.
Logan didn’t even recognize me.
He approached, casting a cursory glance at
my injuries before sneering.
“So, you’re the one who’s always bullied Felicity, huh?
“I’m Felicity’s husband, and you should. know that bullying her is absolutely unforgivable.
“But since you’ve already been taught a lesson, I won’t hold it against you this time.
“Today is my wedding day, and I won’t allow any disruptions.
“You’ve only got a few scrapes. I’ll throw in some compensation for your troubles.
“Let’s just settle this privately, shall we? You

don’t mind, do you?”
His words floated in the air, casual and condescending, as if my very presence was a privilege he was granting me.
I didn’t respond, merely letting out a cold. huff.
Logan’s brow furrowed slightly.
“What’s the matter? You look dissatisfied.”
He paused for a moment, then added, “Fine, since it’s my big day, I won’t bother you too much.
“Here’s the deal. If you ever need anything, just come to All Grand Group.
“I’ll make sure to take care of it.
“Does that work for you?”
He looked down at me with clear disdain, as if I were some insignificant bugs beneath his shoe.
Felicity, clearly not pleased, shot me a glare.

“You should be grateful! I advise you not to bite the hand that feeds you!
“Seriously, if it weren’t for our history, you wouldn’t even be getting this kind of treatment.”
The other classmates chimed in, their jealousy palpable.
“Right? You think you’re still the star student from high school? Mr. Ridley’s willing to compensate you–talk about luck!”
“Mr. Ridley is being generous. If it were anyone else, you’d be in a world of hurt!”
“Why are you still lying there? Get up and thank Mr. Ridley properly!”
“Maybe she’s just lying there, secretly reveling in Mr. Ridley’s grace. This might be the biggest honor of her life!”
The mere mention of Logan’s so–called compensation only served to further fuel the already burning resentment of my old

classmates, who had always looked down
on me.
Their simmering anger now bubbled over into palpable fury, as if I had somehow snatched something precious from them.
As these people continued their incessant agitating, Logan’s patience began to wear
thin.
He glared at me, his tone sharp.
“Look, I’ve been more than generous today, all for Felicity’s sake. Don’t push your luck. If you disrupt my wedding, I won’t hold back!”
Under the weight of his threat, I gritted my teeth against the pain and slowly pushed myself up.
I brushed my hair aside and faced Logan directly.
“Logan, you really think you’re something special, don’t you?”
My mind drifted back to the first time I met

him, on a stormy night.
I had been driving home in a downpour, visibility nearly zero.
Suddenly, Logan appeared in front of my car, catching me completely off guard.
I slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.
-I hit him.
Watching him fly several feet through the air left me in shock.
I jumped out of the car, ready to take him to the hospital.
But he brushed it off, slowly rising to his feet, and simply said, “I’m fine,” before walking away without a backward glance.
As I watched him limp away into the rain- soaked night, something stirred in my
heart.
He was unlike anyone I had ever met.
Intrigued, I dug into his background and discovered he worked at my father’s

company.
My heart soared with excitement.
I truly believed it was fate.
That very day, I managed to slip into my father’s company as an intern.
The moment Logan saw me there, his expression shifted to one of surprise.
It turned out he was also a new intern, having just started himself.
Logan wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed; in fact, he seemed a bit awkward at times.
But growing up in the countryside had toughened him up. He was hardworking, pouring his heart and soul into every task, never slacking off.
No matter when I walked by, I’d find him hunched over his computer, completely
absorbed in his work.
That kind of determination made me view
Logan in a new light.

Initially, he was facing dismissal due to a lack of performance, but with a little behind–the–scenes maneuvering on my part, he got promoted ahead of schedule.
The joy on his face that day was infectious; he lit up like a Christmas tree.
After his promotion, Logan threw himself into his work even more passionately.
I admired that unwavering spirit of his.
As we spent more time together, I began to see a different side of Logan.
He wasn’t just the quiet, serious guy I thought he was; he had a great sense of humor and could always make me laugh.
Being around Logan felt easy and comfortable.
Even in moments of silence, his presence
brought me a sense of peace.
However, our relationship took a
significant turn during an incident that could only be described as a hero–saving-

the–damsel moment.
After a networking event one evening. I stepped outside only to be surrounded by a group of drunken men who started
harassing me.
Panic set in, and I felt utterly helpless. Just then, Logan appeared like a knight in shining armor.
Though he ended up getting beaten up pretty badly by those drunken fools, I was safe.
That was the first time I felt my heart race for this man who had risked himself for
- me.
During the days I spent with him in the hospital, I couldn’t hold back my feelings any longer and confessed my love.
To my delight, Logan accepted my feelings. wholeheartedly, and just like that, we began our romance.
Throughout our relationship, I kept things

with him.
We’d grab street food, stroll down the boulevard, visit parks, catch the occasional movie, and have fun at amusement parks. It was a simple yet joyful existence.
Eventually, I took Logan home to meet my dad.
The moment he realized I was the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, he became visibly
nervous.
My dad, aware of Logan’s humble roots, didn’t look down on him.
He made it clear that class differences didn’t matter to him; no amount of wealth could surpass what our family had.
He only had one condition: Logan had to agree to become part of our family.
As my father’s only child, he didn’t want me marrying into another family.

I expected Logan to hesitate, to wrestle with the idea, or even refuse outright.
After all, Logan was the only son in hist family.
Moreover, marrying into his wife’s family was more or less disgraceful for a man.
To my surprise, Logan nodded without a second thought.
He even declared right there that he would love me wholeheartedly and be devoted to me alone.
To show his commitment, Logan insisted we sign a prenuptial agreement that day, promising that if he ever strayed, he’d leave with nothing.
I was deeply touched by his sincerity.
Once we tied the knot, Logan continued to treat me with kindness and care, doing everything he could to support me.
To help him build a better reputation, I handed over the management of All Grand

Group to him, hoping he could shine in the spotlight.
Though the company didn’t thrive under his leadership, I never held it against Logan.
My only wish was for us to live happily together, and as long as he loved me genuinely, nothing else mattered.
For years, I basked in the love Logan portrayed, convinced I had found my true soulmate.
Now, it all felt so ironic and laughable.
