Chapter 10 The Arrogant Intruder
- Miranda looked at the woman standing before her, who was observing her closely.
- Suddenly, the woman erupted into a hearty laugh, "Hello, I am Gully's partner. My name is Liberty Forrest."
- Gully's partner? Hold on a minute, I am Gully's lawful wife! How dare this haughty woman claim to be his partner in front of me, his legal wife? I'll rip her a new one!
- But, that was all in Miranda's brain.
- Let's not resort to violence on my wedding day. Stay calm now.
- Taking a deep breath, Miranda smiled faintly and said, "I shouldn't intrude then." With that, she turned to leave.
- "It was Gully who wanted me to wait for you," the woman told Miranda in an emotionless tone.
- Once again, Miranda halted in her tracks.
- "Where is he?" She fixed her gaze on Liberty, and before Liberty could respond, Miranda hurled a multitude of questions at her, "What's his name? How old is he? When is his birthday?"
- Confronted with her sudden barrage, Liberty simply replied, "No comment."
- "No comment? What?! We are married, yet he won't even tell me his name?" Miranda finally exploded in anger, thinking that this must be some kind of prank.
- "My dear, you are already married to him, and you don't even know his name?" Liberty squinted, leaning closer to Miranda with a hint of derision.
- This made Miranda freeze up.
- Liberty was right. Although Miranda was already married to him, she did not even know his name.
- Then, on their wedding day, she was blocked at the door by his so-called partner when she wanted to enter the bridal chamber.
- Good grief! What a mess!
- After prolonged silence, Miranda finally found a way to retort Liberty. "My marriage with him is merely a formality."
- "Is that so? It seems like your status as his wife is inferior to me, his partner." Liberty smiled, raising her eyebrows.
- Looking at this, Miranda admitted that Liberty really was captivating.
- Each time Liberty smiled or spoke, it was as if she was tugging at heartstrings.
- Miranda chuckled while crossing her arms. Although you may outshine me in every aspect, I am still the legal wife! I have the legal authority!
- She then took two steps back, taunting, "So what? Even if I lack status, I am still his wife. He chose me, so your position is merely that of his mistress, understand?"
- "Forgive me for being frank, but I truly do not understand." The woman smiled faintly. Then, she gestured toward the bridal chamber. "Please enter, Gully's newlywed bride."
- Goodness, this woman is crazy!
- Although she knows I'm the wife, she's still so…
- So shameless!
- Are mistresses this audacious nowadays?
- Miranda stomped her foot and entered the bridal chamber.
- It was a residence spanning nearly two hundred square meters.
- Upon entering, one is greeted by the living room with a full size ceiling-to-floor window spanning across.
- The layout of the residence was rather complex. If one were to describe it, it would be maze-like.
- After changing her shoes, Miranda glanced at Liberty, who smiled. "The living room's here. On your left is the bridal room."
- "Liberty?" Miranda called out.
- Liberty nodded in response.
- "You truly do not resemble Gully's girlfriend at all."
- With a smile, Liberty remarked, "Indeed. I'm not like his girlfriend. I'm more like the matriarch of the household."
- Upon hearing her words, Miranda couldn't help but smirk.
- Matriarch? You overestimate yourself, Miss Forrest.
- "What I mean to say is, you look like you're the maid."
