Lelia sneered, “A good relationship? Oh, Nola, these are all our own people. Don’t force yourself to pretend. If you had a good
relationship, would you come back empty–handed? Do you think we are all fools? You can tell that Elvis doesn’t like you! By
doing this, what’s the difference between being a widow?”
Nola clenched her teacup, maintaining a smile on her face, “I didn’t realize that you care so much about me.”

“Of course! Well, I have to say, this is fate. If you are not destined to become Mrs. Grayson, it is useless to force it. In the end, it
is you who suffers. But it doesn’t matter, your father and I will always support you. Mr. Joan likes you very much. If you can’t stay
in the Grayson family and take the initiative to be with Mr. Joan, he shouldn’t mind.”
“I’m afraid you won’t wait for that day.”
This was her family, all of them had considered her well, hoping she couldn’t stay in the Grayson family, and even found a
backup plan for her. In their hearts, they thought she deserved to be an item in their hands, used to trade for profit.
If it wasn’t for something about her mother, how could she be humiliated by these people?
At the dinner table, she remained silent, only thinking about finishing the meal quickly, talking to her father, and leaving this place
as soon as possible. She didn’t want to stay a moment longer.
Myles suddenly coughed twice and asked Nola, “You and Elvis have registered your marriage at the City Hall. Should our elders
pick a time to meet and discuss the wedding?”
At this, Nola’s hand paused, and she put down her forks, “There is no wedding.”
“What did you say?” Myles looked at Nola in shock. After all, she married into the Grayson family, and now she was saying there
was no wedding.
Lelia, upon hearing this, was delighted and exclaimed, “Silly Nola, why didn’t you discuss this with us? You are the daughter of
the Grant family, and we are considered a respectable family. You’ve married into the Grayson family without a decent wedding.

This is worse than an ordinary girl. Do you really agree with this? Is the Grayson family treating you that badly? Or did you just

offer yourself up?”
Lelia’s voice was sharp and piercing, and the words offer yourself up caused snickers from those around them. Even the nearby
servants looked at Nola with ridicule and sarcasm.
“No wedding! I don’t plan on having a wedding. This is good enough as it is. I don’t want those superficial things,” Nola replied.
“You’re just being ridiculous.”
Tanya spoke up, “At first, when I saw Nola come back wearing her old clothes, I thought she was nostalgic and couldn’t bear to
part with them. Now I see that it’s not that Nola is nostalgic, but that the Grayson family treats her like this. Dad, the Grayson
family is too much. We can’t let Nola suffer like this. She doesn’t even have a decent piece of clothing. It’s too pitiful.”
Myles sighed, realizing Nola’s situation now. She was enduring such suffering just to escape her marriage with Joan’s family. As
a father, he loved his daughter.
“Nola, today Elvis is not here. We are all family, so I won’t beat around the bush. Since you are in this situation now, my
suggestion is that you shouldn’t suffer anymore. If he doesn’t like you, Mr. Joan still values you. When you go back today, talk to
Mr. Elvis about divorcing, and I’ll help you talk to Mr. Joan.”
Nola understood. She had already married someone else, yet her father still insisted on having her marry the son of the Joan
family.
“Dad, I’m curious. What did Mr. Joan give you? What kind of agreement did you reach? And why do you still want to marry 1/3

me off to the Joan family?”
“I am your father. Of course, I am thinking about your best interests. Javion, what do you think?”

Javion just smiled and said, “When a girl gets married, she should marry someone who treats her well. Nola, you and I are not
meant to be, but you shouldn’t give up on yourself just because I rejected you. Apart from me, there are still many good men in
this world. As for myself, I only have Tanya in my heart.”
Tanya blushed and laughed, nestling against Javion’s arms, provocatively glancing at Nola.

No matter how Tanya looked at it, Nola seemed like the one who had been defeated.
Nola smiled and said, “Does Mr. Lee have too high of self–esteem?”
“Many girls like me, and it’s normal for you to like me too. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. But, sorry, I already have Tanya
now.”
Nola almost choked. She had never seen someone as narcissistic as Javion.
Even though Javion was decent–looking, compared to Elvis, Javion was nothing. Her own husband was so outstanding, she
would be foolish to like such a spoiled playboy.
Nola had no appetite for this meal and couldn’t eat anymore. She was already disgusted by these people.
Nola wanted to get up, but somehow, Lelia accidentally spilled red wine all over her body. The wine glass shattered on the
ground. Lelia was startled, her face turning gloomy.
“Nola, even if you’re angry, we’re all having a meal. You can’t vent your anger in front of your father! Besides, the current
situation is your own choice. By smashing the wine glass, you’re hitting your father’s face, you know?”
Lelia said, pretending to be a virtuous wife, and quickly comforted Myles, “Myles, don’t be angry. Nola didn’t mean it. She’s just
upset. You shouldn’t take it to heart.”
After hearing this, Myles‘ anger flared up, and he slammed his hand on the table, causing the forks to fall to the ground.
“Do you have any manners at all? Do you think that just because you’re Mrs. Grayson, you can ignore me? It’s not appropriate to
show disrespect to your own father at the dinner table. No one forced you to marry Elvis. I gave you options, but you’re taking
your anger out on me. How dare you behave like this?” Myles yelled, reddening.

Faced with her father’s reprimand, Nola couldn’t help but feel amused. Myles prided himself on being smart, but he couldn’t see
through the women around him. Was it because Lelia acted so well, or was he unwilling to see the truth?
Did he really believe such a clumsy performance?
“It was you who kept saying that you wanted me to come back for dinner. Do you think I want to come back to this house? When
did you remember that I am your daughter? In your heart, I, Nola, only deserve a wretched life,” Nola said, looking at her father
with pride and stubbornness.
The next moment, she squatted down, picked up the broken glass on the ground, and threw them on the table. The sharp pieces
cut her hands, but she didn’t feel any pain.
“Since Dad doesn’t like me so much, I won’t stay here and bother you all.”
