Seeking Revenge The Mighty Mister X

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Chapter 1

[1]

Aunt Paige couldn't stand seeing our family doing better than hers. She schemed to take everything from us.

I was accepted into a prestigious university, while Grayson didn't even pass the vocational school entrance exam. On the day of my university acceptance banquet, a child from the village fell into the water. Aunt Paige pushed me in.

"Simon, you're a student at a prestigious university. You can't bring shame to your school. Go save that child!"

I struggled to lift the child out of the water, but I ended up drowning myself. After my death, my grandfather and mother also passed away in succession. Grayson, recognized for his bravery, was admitted to a university. Aunt Paige took the compensation for the relocation of our family's 200-acre orchard. From being impoverished, she became the wealthiest person in the village.

After being reborn, I saw that child fall into the water again. Before Aunt Paige could say a word, I kicked her into the water.

I was accepted into a top-tier university, while Grayson didn't even meet the minimum requirements for a vocational college. Aunt Paige wanted to send him to join the military.

Grandpa held my acceptance letter, beaming with joy, and invited Aunt Paige's family over for dinner.

After several toasts, Uncle Rylan started his same old story.

"Simon, when your father had his accident, you were only ten. I took care of all the arrangements. When you make something of yourself, don't forget your Uncle Rylan!"

Aunt Paige, already envious of my university acceptance, had been giving me the cold shoulder for days. She shot me a fierce glare.

"That's right, Simon. You can't be ungrateful. When you succeed, you must show us respect!"

Looking at my still-living grandpa and mom, I realized I had been reborn.

In my previous life, my mom was so happy she wanted to throw a celebration for my university acceptance. She was known as a kind person and got along well with everyone in the village. The whole village came that day; it was a lively scene.

In the chaos, a five or six-year-old boy fell into the small river in front of our house. Aunt Paige grabbed me and ran to the riverbank. As soon as we got there, she pushed me into the river.

"Simon, you're a student at a top-tier university. You can't disgrace your school. Go save him."
