I was the daughter of a crime boss in Flonio.

Initially, I was supposed to reveal my identity during my wedding. But my elder brother told me that someone was targeting me and that I could not expose myself. My fiance also took this chance to take off my wedding gown and help my maid into it. My bodyguard then stole my family token.

I trusted them deeply, but when the wedding ceremony started, I saw my maid with one arm around my fiance. Meanwhile, her other hand lingered between my brother’s and bodyguard’s sensitive spots on their bodies.

In response to my suspicions, my maid laughed wickedly. Then, she instructed someone to break my limbs.

They locked me up in the basement and forced me to watch as they got more and more intimate. In the end, they skinned me alive and broke my bones. Before I breathed my last, they left me to the beasts.

When I recalled the misery of my previous life, I broke my maid’s ribs with a few punches.

“You can have my fiance, but you don’t deserve my family token!”

Nancy Stone kept screaming pitifully as I beat her up. Max Murphy, my fiance, got angry and slapped me.

“Stella Jenkins, how dare you hit Nancy?!”

Charles Jenkins, my elder brother, felt very sorry for Nancy and became teary-eyed. He raised his fist and rushed toward me.

“How dare you beat up Emerald Enigma’s heiress at her wedding?! I’m going to punish you!”

David Tucker, my bodyguard, immediately fought me. But I kicked him away in just a few moves. He was shocked as he vomited blood.

“How dare you hit me, Stella?!”

I dusted off my clothes and pulled a chair over to sit in the middle of the stage.

“You guys still remember my name? Have you forgotten that I’m Stella Jenkins? I’m Emilia Jenkins’s only daughter and Emerald Enigma’s only heiress. Plus, I’m the bride of this wedding!”

My words threw the audience into an uproar.

“What’s going on? If this is the bride, who was the previous one?”

Everyone looked at Nancy, who could not stop vomiting blood. Meanwhile, I could not stop sneering.

In my previous life, I had pitied Nancy’s miserable background and kept her as my maid under Charles’s persuasion.

Before long, Nancy successfully bewitched Charles, David, and Max.

After my mother got seriously injured, I should have revealed my identity during the wedding and taken over Emerald Enigma.

Unexpectedly, the three of them convinced me that Emerald Enigma had too many enemies. They became worried that I might get into danger like my mother did. They requested that I hide my identity and make Nancy take up my surname. Then, she would take my place as the bride to stop others from murdering me.

After I agreed, I saw the three of them get into bed with Nancy on the wedding night.

When their scandal was exposed, they locked me up in an octagon in the basement as Nancy’s punching bag. They also enjoyed each other's passion in front of me and humiliated me day and night.

I did not hesitate to stomp on Nancy and break her ribs when I recalled the pain of being gnawed by beasts and dying.

“Answer me. Who are you? And who am I?”

Nancy kept wailing in pain and tried her best to call for Max to help her.

“Dear, get rid of this mad woman! Charles, save me!”

My ferocity frightened Max. But still, he spread his arms resolutely and blocked me amidst Nancy’s cry for help.

“Even if you’re part of the Jenkins family, it doesn’t matter. I can prove that Nancy’s the next leader of Emerald Enigma!”

Charles felt sorry for Nancy as he helped her up. At the same time, he coldly rebuked me.

“Stop making a scene. We’re doing this for your benefit. Hurry up and apologize to Nancy. Then, go home and accept your punishment!”

David stepped out and pointed a baton at me.

“No. We don’t have to handle it at home. Beg for forgiveness! How dare a servant like you ruin Miss Jenkins’s wedding?! I’m going to punish you!”

I looked at the three men who were closest to me and clenched my fists tightly. My veins were bulging.

“Since you guys are on her side, you brought this on yourself.”

After that, I lifted Nancy with both hands and threw her down the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me. The wedding’s over. This is now my succession ceremony.”

The guests who attended the wedding became dumbfounded.

“I’ve long heard that there was serious infighting in Emerald Enigma. But I’m sure there isn’t anything to dispute since Emilia’s only daughter is the heiress.”

“Yeah. Everyone knows that Emilia’s only daughter is called Nancy. Besides, her name’s written on the wedding invitation card too. Who the hell is Stella?”

“How dare she make a scene and beat up Miss Jenkins at the wedding? I’m sure Stella is doomed.”

Max, Charles, and David were still bewildered. But they finally heaved a sigh of relief after listening to the others’ comments.

“What’s wrong with you today, Stella? Get off the stage!”

“I’m Max Murphy, Nancy’s husband. I can prove that Nancy is the bride and the heiress of Emerald Enigma!”

“I’m Charles Jenkins, the eldest son of the Jenkins family. I grew up with Nancy. How could there be a mistake?”

“I’m David Tucker, Nancy’s bodyguard. Nancy is the heiress of Emerald Enigma. Plus, I don’t know anyone by the name of Stella Jenkins.”

The three of them stood together in a row and fiercely protected Nancy. At the same time, they glared at me.

The audience burst into laughter.

“I’m sure Stella’s out of her mind. She can’t covet Emerald Enigma, though there are a lot of handsome guys there.”

“The Jenkins family did a good job protecting the information of their heiress all these years. But we know that Charles is the family’s eldest son. Also, Max is the live-in son-in-law, and David is the heiress’s bodyguard. They’re right.”

“Yes! Stella, hurry up and apologize!”

I raised my head and looked past everyone to stare at the man who had rushed to the scene.

“Mr. Zimmer, you’ve been with my mother for many years. I’m sure you know my mother’s daughter.”

Everyone turned in the same direction and started gossiping.

“Isn’t that Liam Zimmer, Emilia’s lover? What is he doing here?”

“Something serious just happened at the wedding. But Emilia’s terribly ill. Of course someone has to come and manage the scene.”

Liam quietly and anxiously rushed over. He helped Nancy up and looked at me.

“You evil woman! How dare a servant like you compete with Nancy?! Tie her up. I’m taking her home so that our leader can punish her!”

I was shocked.

In my previous life, all I knew was that Nancy had bewitched Max, Charles, and David. I had no idea that Liam had taken Nancy’s side too.

Someone came over to fight me under Liam’s order.

However, I remained calm and defeated everyone who came at me by using Jenkins Art. Finally, someone noticed something when they saw the seriously injured men on the floor.

“Stella’s using Jenkins Art. Only the heirs or heiresses have the right to learn that in their family.”

“If she’s a nobody, she wouldn’t know it!”

I glared at those men and waited for their lies to be exposed.

On stage, the seriously injured Nancy unexpectedly stood up again with the men’s support. She held her breath and demonstrated some moves from Jenkins Art.

When silence washed over the audience, Nancy wiped away the blood on her lips and loudly said, “Stella, I pitied you because of your background. I let you serve me while I practiced my moves. But how dare you secretly learn them?!”

I looked at Charles with hatred. Apart from Emilia, only he and I knew those moves. Surprisingly, he had shared our family secrets with an outsider. It was outrageous!

Furious, I grabbed Charles by the collar.

“How dare you?!”

However, Charles remained calm and looked at Nancy.

She took this opportunity to fish something out and raise it high.

“My mother gave me the token of Emerald Enigma long ago. Stella, this mess ends now.”

Everyone was bewildered when they saw the ancient token in Nancy’s hand.

“It looks like Emilia’s seriously sick. She even handed the token to Nancy.”

“Stella, we have testimonies and material evidence. You’re just a servant. Get lost!”

I gnashed my teeth and could taste blood. In my previous life, I never managed to stop them. Hence, I had no idea that they had hollowed out my family without my mother’s knowledge and mine.

I was consumed by deep hatred. I leapt forward to snatch away the token from Nancy.

David had already broken ties with me. So, he ordered numerous of his loyal followers to block my path, and they started fighting me.

Although I was a skilled fighter, I was still a human being. I could not fight so many people alone. Before long, someone targeted me and smashed a blunt object into the back of my head.

That attack hit me hard, and my vision blurred as I started wavering.

Disdain dawned on David, and he kicked me in the chest to get me off the stage.

For a moment, Nancy appeared smug. She walked up to me and raised her leg fiercely. She was about to step on my face.

However, my hatred drove me to punch her in the foot. I easily made her fall since she was a weak woman who could not fight.

My actions drove Liam mad, though.

“You evil woman! How dare you hurt her?! Break her hands!”

David immediately fished out a switchblade. He made those on either side of me pin down my right hand, which I had used to harm Nancy. Then, he gave it a hard stab.

“Listen, Stella. I’m going to ruin your hands and break your limbs today. Plus, I’m going to dump you in an illegal octagon and turn you into a disabled person! You’ll always be inferior to Nancy!”

I was engulfed in pain. Those who felt ill from such a scene turned away and became too timid to watch.

I spat blood on the men and yelled hysterically, “Kill me if you have the guts! If you don’t, you’ll be doomed when my mom gets here!”

Charles started to panic, and he looked at Liam right away.

Liam merely snorted with disdain and whispered in my ear, “Let me be frank with you. Your mom’s not waking up. Stop dreaming that someone will come and prove your identity, Stella. The entire Emerald Enigma, including your men, will belong to Nancy.”

He cracked a wicked smile, which made my heart sink instantly. No wonder no one from my family came to save me from the octagon in my previous life. It turned out that they had conspired with each other to harm my mother.

When the men saw my panic, they burst into laughter.

I grabbed the opportunity to flip the individuals who were pinning me down and bit Liam’s ear. I shook my head and bit off a piece of his flesh.

He screamed in pain, and Nancy felt incredibly sorry for him.

Infuriated, Charles rebuked me fiercely, but it did not help to pacify his anger. Therefore, he picked up a bottle of red wine and smashed it on my head.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done? How dare you harm him?!”

The attack left me dizzy, but I suddenly detected a few suspicious things.

Charles had hated Liam from a young age. He would point out Liam’s ugly features and bad character. He would also claim that Liam was a shameless guy who had stolen our late father’s position. Yet, he had become quite worried about Liam.

Max seemed worried too, and he busied himself with tending to Liam’s wound.

Something glinted in David’s hand, and soon, a switchblade was pressed against my throat.

“I’m sorry, Stella. I didn’t want to kill you. But you keep hurting the people I value. I can’t let you live.”

I was already injured, and my limbs were broken; I could no longer fight him.

Someone started to cover their eyes as they waited for me to be killed.

Just then, a fierce roar came from the hall’s entrance.

“Why has Stella’s wedding turned into such a mess? Stop this!”
