Back to My Wedding Day

I was arranged to marry into the billionaire Foster family, and my father’s illegitimate daughter, Serena, was insanely jealous. The day before the wedding, she drugged me and took my place as the bride who married into wealth. When I woke up and made a fuss, I managed to drive Serena away. I got my wish and married into the Foster family, but a year later, my husband threw me to a group of homeless men. His eyes were vicious, his voice cold as ice. “If I didn’t still need your family’s investment, humiliating Serena alone would warrant your death ten thousand times over. Now that your family is bankrupt, you’re worth less than a dog.” Serena stood beside him, laughing softly. “You humiliated me back then, so now atone for your sins in that beggar’s den. I’ll take good care of your position as Mrs. Foster.” I couldn’t bear the humiliation and killed myself. When I opened my eyes again, I’d returned to my wedding day. I crawled out of bed and waited an hour before supporting my throbbing head and opening the door. My mother was just walking back with a servant’s support. The tears of reluctance in the corners of her eyes hadn’t dried yet when she looked up and saw me standing at the top of the stairs. She froze in place, stunned. My father frowned and was the first to react. “Miranda, what are you doing here?” He pointed toward the door in shock. “Then who just got into the Foster family’s wedding car?” I clutched my chest with a frightened expression. “What? Someone already took my place in the wedding car? Last night my sister said she couldn’t bear to part with me before I got married, so she lit some calming incense for me. I took a few breaths and slept until now.” The once lively scene instantly fell silent. Everyone exchanged glances with varied expressions. My mother staggered back several steps in anger, nearly fainting. She immediately ordered the servants to catch Mrs. Wilson, who was trying to escape through the crowd. “Well, well! I was wondering why she clung to the bride’s hand during the send-off, crying harder than me, her actual mother. I thought you were some kind of saint, but turns out you birthed this little bastard.” Mrs. Wilson knelt on the ground, her eyes darting around. She stammered, “Madam, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Miranda overslept and delayed the time. How can you blame my Serena for this?” As soon as she finished speaking, the butler rushed over. “The Chase family’s wedding car is already waiting at the door.” My mother’s face turned cold. “Where is Serena? Bring her here immediately.” I lowered my head to hide the cold smile in my eyes. Where else could she be? Obviously in Dominic Foster’s bed. When the marriage was arranged, Dominic Foster insisted on a traditional wedding, saying he wanted to honor family customs. He even hired an authority on tradition to personally supervise the ceremony. The bride wore a veil the entire time. By now, they’d probably already completed the ceremony and entered the bridal suite. Seeing the triumphant look Mrs. Wilson couldn’t quite hide at the corner of her mouth, I became even more certain. This mother-daughter pair really knew how to scheme. Years ago, Mrs. Wilson was our family’s nanny. She drugged my father, climbed into his bed, and gave birth to Serena, enjoying the wealthy lifestyle. Now Serena had drugged me, stolen my identity, and taken my place marrying into wealth. The rice was already cooked. She left me only one option: to pick up the marriage arrangement she didn’t want and marry into the Chase family instead. The Chase family was a newly rising commercial power in recent years. They didn’t have the deep foundations of old money families, but they were aggressive, with involvement in all sorts of emerging industry projects. Unfortunately, the person in charge was disabled. My father had sharp business instincts, which was why he’d arranged Serena’s marriage to the Chase family. If the Chase family succeeded, Serena could rise with the tide and become a wealthy lady living in luxury. If they didn’t succeed, with the Sutton family as a strong backer, she wouldn’t suffer any grievances either. But she didn’t understand our father’s good intentions. She pulled a switcheroo and forced her most despised marriage arrangement onto me. If I agreed, tonight the news that the Sutton family’s legitimate daughter married a disabled man would spread throughout the entire social circle. The entire Sutton family would become the laughingstock of high society. In my previous life, she used this exact move to keep me trampled beneath her feet forever. But with my parents backing me up, I made a scene at the wedding. The Foster family still needed the Sutton family’s help, so they forcibly threw Serena out of the bridal suite. I got my wish and became Mrs. Foster, and Dominic Foster treated me like a precious treasure. Back then, I didn’t know that this man who seemed to give me his whole heart had already gotten Serena pregnant, working together from inside and out. Just waiting for the right moment to completely destroy the Sutton family. The servants’ shocked cries interrupted my thoughts. “Madam, Serena isn’t in her room. Her wedding dress and veil are still here, but she took all the dowry with her.” “Also, I found some things in Serena’s room…” My father picked them up and looked. They were photos of Serena and Dominic Foster together. His face turned iron with rage. He threw the photos hard at Mrs. Wilson’s face. “This is the good daughter you raised! She’s disgraced the entire Sutton family!”

The butler looked worried. “Sir, the Chase family people are urging us outside. What should we do?” My father’s face was stern as he pounded the table heavily. “Contact the Foster family immediately. Quietly bind that bastard and send her to the Chase family. The Sutton family’s marriage arrangements aren’t for some illegitimate daughter to decide!” I pulled on my father’s sleeve and pinched my thigh hard. Tears fell like rain. “Dad, forget it. Serena and Dominic are in love. They’ve already slept together and set up this scheme to embarrass the Sutton family at the wedding. I won’t marry a man like that. Let Serena have him.” I wiped my eyes. “The Chase family has worked with us extensively. Business is built on trust. I don’t want you to break your word. Your daughter is willing to marry into the Chase family.” My father looked at me with shock and emotion. “Miranda, you’re the Sutton family’s legitimate daughter. Looking across the entire social circle, only the Foster family could barely be worthy of you. Marrying into the Chase family would really wrong you, and besides, that Adrian Chase is…” He swallowed the rest of his words, looking at me with heartache. But I smiled and continued for him. “Dad, the Chase family’s Forbes ranking last year was only ten spots behind the Foster family. The Foster family has been around for how many years compared to the Chase family? Adrian Chase may be disabled, but he’s a business genius. With me there in the future and the Sutton family’s support, the Chase family’s prospects are still unknown.” One who stole her sister’s marriage out of greed, and one who stayed calm in crisis and was willing to marry down to preserve the family’s reputation. Mud versus clouds. The difference was clear at a glance. Many people present looked at me with satisfaction, felt even more sympathy for my situation, and were more disgusted by Serena’s behavior. My mother’s heart broke. She held me tightly in her arms. My father ground his teeth in anger. “Even so, my daughter isn’t someone the Foster family can bully at will. Miranda, rest assured, the Foster family wronged you in this matter. You’re right not to marry Dominic Foster. No matter what, I’ll get justice for you.” When we arrived at the Foster residence, the newlyweds had already entered the bridal suite, but the reception was still in full swing. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw us storm in with such momentum. “Isn’t that Miranda Sutton from the Sutton family? She’s today’s bride. How can she be here?” “That’s not right. The bride was sent to the bridal suite half an hour ago. If it’s not her, then who could the bride be?” My mother laughed coldly. “Apologies for the spectacle, everyone. That bride was also a Sutton family daughter, but she’s a lowly illegitimate daughter who stole her sister’s marriage.” The scene erupted in shock and astonishment. Dominic Foster rushed in from outside, his face livid as he interrupted. “Miranda, stop making a scene. How can you blame Serena for this? You two have similar builds and identical veils. If anyone’s to blame, blame yourself for oversleeping and missing the time. That’s why I picked up the wrong person.” “I just got drunk and mistook Serena for you and slept with her. As a man, I must take responsibility for Serena.” “You brought people here to make trouble because you want to switch back, right? I know you love me deeply and can’t live without me. How about this: I’ll get my marriage certificate with Serena, but I’ll only choose my heir from children you bear for me. You won’t have a title, but the entire Foster family will belong to our children. This way it won’t affect our families’ cooperation either.”

When someone is speechless to the extreme, they really will laugh. Getting a marriage certificate with an illegitimate daughter while stepping on me. And he still wants me to be his mistress and my son to be a bastard? His precarious, declining Foster family would have crumbled long ago if not for the childhood engagement arranged by the older generation and the Sutton family’s support. And he still has the audacity to want the blessing of two women serving one husband while monopolizing the Sutton family’s resources? My father was so angry he laughed instead. “The Foster family really has some nerve. After a few good years, you’ve forgotten what it felt like to be on the verge of bankruptcy? If that’s the case, I don’t mind helping you remember.” Old Mrs. Foster finally snapped out of it and hurried forward. “What on earth is going on?” My mother pulled out that stack of photos from her bag and threw them on the table. “What do you think, Mrs. Foster? If your precious son likes illegitimate daughters so much, why put on this show to humiliate my daughter? We won’t have such shameless daughters in the Sutton family. My husband will cancel all cooperation between our families when he returns. The Foster and Sutton families should cut all ties from now on.” If the Sutton family withdrew their investment, the Foster family would be left with nothing but an empty shell and debts. Old Mrs. Foster clutched her chest, her face instantly pale as she questioned Dominic repeatedly. “Tell me, what have you done?” Before Dominic could speak, Serena ran out wearing a bright red robe. She fell to her knees in front of me with a thud, crying pitifully. “Miranda, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t control my feelings and made such a foolish mistake. But Dominic and I are already together now. If you keep making a scene, you’ll embarrass the Sutton family. Even if you won’t consider me, don’t you care about the Sutton family’s reputation?” She called her own despicable shamelessness “uncontrollable feelings” and called my seeking justice “not caring about family reputation.” She really was shameless to the extreme. I laughed coldly. “You mean you drugged me, stole my marriage, and entered my bridal suite, and just by asking about it, I’m embarrassing the Sutton family?” I deliberately raised my voice, exposing all her ugly deeds. “If you really liked Dominic, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I don’t have to marry him. Why wait until our families’ wedding day to pull this lowly stunt? Who’s really trampling the Sutton family’s reputation underfoot? Or do you not care about the Sutton family at all and just want to steal what’s mine?” Serena’s face went pale, her eyes evasive. “I… I didn’t. I truly love Dominic.” All the guests at the reception were shrewd people. Her sordid thoughts were crystal clear to everyone. “Using every vile method and still calling it true love. An illegitimate daughter who doesn’t even see if she’s worthy.” “If this were my daughter, I’d drag her home and beat her to death. Stealing her sister’s husband—such a disgusting thing to do. Who knows what else she might do to destroy the whole family later.” Some people even turned their criticism directly on Dominic. “Dominic’s greed is really ugly too. Already slept with the shameless illegitimate daughter but still has the audacity to try to make the legitimate daughter his mistress. Isn’t it just because he can’t let go of the resources behind the legitimate daughter? Wanting both—treating the legitimate daughter and the Sutton family like fools. I’m too disgusted to even say those words out loud.” Old Mrs. Foster was thoroughly humiliated, trembling all over with rage. She slapped Dominic hard across the face. “You unfilial son! Kneel down right now and apologize to your father and mother-in-law, and promise to get your marriage certificate with Miranda immediately.” She took a few steps toward me, trying to hold my hand, but I deftly avoided her. Her face stiffened for a moment before filling with flattery again. “Miranda, you’ve been wronged. Whatever you want, Dominic will agree to it. Rest assured, this kind of thing will never happen again.” Dominic covered his face, his resentful eyes boring into me viciously, as if I were the one who’d ruined his good thing. He didn’t feel at all that I was the biggest victim in today’s events. “Mom, I only love Serena in this lifetime. I’ll only marry her. Miranda Sutton is arrogant and domineering, just a useless woman who bullies people relying on the Sutton family. If I marry her, she’ll drag down the entire Foster family. The position of Mrs. Foster can only belong to Serena.” “If she’s sensible, for Mr. Sutton’s sake, I’ll give her a child. But I’ll take the child to be raised by Serena. If she’s not sensible, just wait to be despised and scorned by everyone in the city. Let’s see who dares to take in a woman rejected by the Foster family!”

I watched this man coldly—someone I’d treated wholeheartedly for years. After old Mr. Foster passed away, the mediocre Dominic took over the Foster family. In just half a year, he’d offended investors and ruined the core project. Under the influence of his fair-weather friends, he’d also taken over several garbage projects. Within days, the Foster family collapsed. Accumulated debts reached hundreds of billions. Investors fled one after another. Even selling off the Foster family’s ancestral assets built up over centuries wasn’t enough to fill the hole. Some people kicked them while they were down, demanding Dominic crawl between their legs—a few tens of thousands for each crawl. It was me who, remembering our years together, helped him and encouraged him. I even convinced my father to support him. Back then, he knelt before my father, crying and swearing that if he ever betrayed me in this lifetime, he’d be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. In just two years, once he’d regained his footing in the social circle, he’d forgotten his vows. And he had the audacity to say that making me his mistress was doing me a favor. Everyone present looked at Dominic like he was insane. Unable to understand where a man who could only stand firm in business circles thanks to his fiancée got the nerve to be so provocative. To be honest, the current Foster family really belonged to the Sutton family in all but name. But Dominic didn’t care. Seeing my silence, he was certain I was heartbroken and couldn’t let him go. He pulled Serena closer by the waist, becoming even more arrogant. “Miranda Sutton, if you kneel down and apologize to Serena now, I’ll agree to let you follow me.” “If you serve me well, I’ll consider letting you move into the Foster residence. It’s not impossible for you to see the child either.” I stared at his smug face and smiled. Let Serena have this fool who couldn’t see the situation clearly. At least he’d be blocking disaster for me. My father beside me couldn’t hold back. He was so angry he laughed. “The Foster family really has stood back up, speaking with such an arrogant tone. It seems the Sutton family really can’t reach that high. As for you—” My father pointed at Serena. “The Sutton family has no daughter who steals her sister’s marriage and throws away the family’s dignity. When I get home today, I’ll remove you from the family registry and sign a severance agreement. From now on, whether you live or die has nothing to do with the Sutton family.” Serena’s eyes reddened, crying sadly. “Dad, I’m also your biological daughter. Why are you so cruel to me?” “I just tried to be with the person I love. What did I do wrong? If Dominic doesn’t like Miranda, it’s because she’s incompetent. Why should all the good things go to Miranda!” My father laughed coldly. “Fine. I’ll fulfill your wishes. Everyone present is a witness. From now on, you’re not part of the Sutton family. Take care of yourself.” “Someone, go retrieve all of Miranda’s dowry!” “Fifty chests of cash, fifteen loads of jewelry, three Porsches, a 20% equity agreement, property deeds for five Bay Garden villas—bring everything back to the Sutton family without missing a single item.” Everyone gasped when they heard about my dowry, all looking at Dominic like he was an idiot. Serena screamed on the spot. “No! This is all my dowry!” My mother slapped her across the face. “Stole Miranda’s marriage and still want to steal the dowry? Dream on. These were all prepared by the Sutton family for Miranda. What are you? If you want a dowry, go ask Mrs. Wilson for it.” The bodyguards were about to leave with the dowry when Dominic blocked their way. “Wait. If you dare take the dowry away, half the Sutton family will be mine by tomorrow.” He looked at my father. “When our two families signed the prenuptial agreement, it only said ‘Sutton family daughter’ without naming anyone specifically. I followed the contract obediently, promising to treat the Sutton family daughter well for life. Serena hasn’t suffered any grievances. What you’re doing is breaking the contract.” He pulled out the prenuptial agreement signed just a week ago. The lawyer read the terms aloud to everyone present. “If Party B, Dominic Foster, is unfaithful to the Sutton family daughter, he leaves with nothing. Conversely, if the Sutton family withdraws the dowry, it’s considered a breach of contract, and Party A must compensate Party B with 20% of the shares.” The entire room fell deathly silent. “Impossible! How could I have signed such an agreement!” My father’s face turned pale instantly. He snatched the contract. The lawyer pointed to a line of small print at the very end. Dominic smiled and gestured with his chin. On the big screen, footage of my father personally signing appeared. “Mr. Sutton, you’re someone whose every move shakes the city’s business circles. You wouldn’t play dumb and pretend not to remember, would you? But pretending won’t help. This contract is stamped with your private seal. It has legal force. If you’re not afraid of embarrassment in court, go ahead and take it.” My father was so angry he clutched his chest, gasping violently, nearly passing out. My mother’s eyes were bloodshot. She wanted to get justice for me but was forced into speechlessness. Serena twisted her waist and nestled into Dominic’s embrace, smiling radiantly. “Miranda, it’s fine if I can’t be a Sutton family daughter. If you’re willing to kowtow and apologize to me now, maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll put in a good word for you with Dominic and abstain at the shareholders’ meeting. Otherwise, Dad will lose his chairman position, and those old foxes in the company devour people without leaving bones.” “I’ll accept this dowry graciously. Bring it all inside.” The Foster family servants roughly shoved past me. All the dowry was about to be carried back inside. My mother tried to stop them in desperation but was pushed to the ground by the Foster family people acting like lackeys. Serena raised an eyebrow. “Madam, this is Foster family private business. If you insist on getting involved and get bumped or bruised, you can only blame yourself.” I helped my mother up, watching the pair of dogs coldly. Dominic curled his lips with a condescending expression. “Without this dowry, you won’t even be qualified to buy yourself a husband. For the sake of how you used to chase after me pathetically, come to the Foster family and serve as Serena’s servant for three years. I’ll consider giving you a son to rely on.” Seeing me ignore him, Dominic roughly grabbed my shoulder and shoved me in front of Serena, then kicked my knee. Just as he was about to use brute force to make me kowtow— The tightly closed conference hall doors were violently pushed open. “Someone reported that the Foster family illegally seized massive private assets from the Sutton family. Who is Dominic Foster?”
