Chapter 7
Sage was sent flying five meters, landing with half her face swollen like a pig’s head.
Clutching her face in disbelief, she stammered, “W–what did you say? He’s the Young Master? No, that’s impossible! The Young Master is supposed to be…”
Jake shot her a cold glance and said, “Are you referring to the fool who dared to offend my wife and impersonate me?”
He clapped his hands, and two bodyguards dragged in a bloodied man from outside.
The man’s entire body was covered in bruises, his appearance grotesque, resembling a skinned pig.
The secretary adjusted his glasses and calmly explained, “This man’s real name is Steven Watson. On the day our Young Master returned to the country, he sneaked into the hotel where the Young Master and Young Madam were staying after their wedding. Finding the room empty, he brazenly
moved in himself.”
Sage refused to believe it, screaming, “You’re lying! Then why didn’t he say anything earlier?!”
The secretary cast her a contemptuous look and replied, “We asked him that. He said he didn’t know how, in the middle of the night, a naked woman suddenly climbed into bed with him, insisting on sleeping with him. She had decent skills and seemed to have some money, so he decided to play along, enjoy some free benefits, and freeload for a while.”
The secretary continued, his voice icy,
“We were also curious why Emily Carson ended up in the Young Master’s room, so we investigated. It turns out you drugged her, forcing her to marry into the Oakley Family on your behalf. Then you bribed the hotel staff to use her room card and sneak into the Young Master’s suite.”
The entire room was shocked, gasps echoing through the crowd.
“Oh my god! So Sage ended up sleeping with that fat, ugly slob? That’s a lifetime of trauma right
there!”
“Hmph, she thought Jake Oakley was a cripple and an ugly freak, so she didn’t want to marry him. The Carson Family couldn’t bear to give up the meager benefits from the Oakley Family, so they forced their younger daughter to take her place. Using such despicable tactics to climb into bed–she got what she deserved.”

“No wonder. I was just saying, the gown and jewelry on Emily Carson aren’t ordinary. That diamond Recklace–I’m pretty sure I saw it at a French auction a few days ago. It’s worth three hundred million! Who else but the Grayson Family could afford something like that?”
Sage’s face turned deathly pale. Staring at Jake’s handsome features, her eyes were filled with regret.
She lunged at me, trying to rip off my gown and necklace, but Jake kicked her away.
The bodyguards quickly restrained her as she struggled and thrashed wildly, her face twisted with
rage.
“Emily, you filthy bitch! You must’ve known the truth all along! That’s why you drank the milk so
willingly, isn’t it? You wretched thief! You stole everything from me!”
“A handsome husband, luxurious clothes, priceless jewelry, the title of Crown Princess of Capital
City–all of it should’ve been mine! Give it back!”
I looked at her coldly, a mocking smile on my face.
“Wasn’t it your mom who threatened me? If I didn’t drink that milk and marry in your place, she’d sell me to Southeast Asia to be defiled by a group of men?”
“Didn’t you have your bodyguards stand watch outside the villa all night, ready to drag me back and
assault me the moment I tried to run?”
“I didn’t want to marry, but you didn’t give me a choice.”
Sage turned to Jake, pleading desperately.
“I was supposed to marry you! This is all a misunderstanding. Please, give me another chance,
okay?”
“Look at me–my face, my figure. In what way am I inferior to Emily and her flat chest? What she can’t give you, I can. And what she can, I can give you more. Just look at me!”
Jake looked at her with undisguised disgust.
“Your entire family bullied my wife, and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. have the audacity to say this?”
Do

“A mere bastard born of a mistress–just looking at someone like you makes me feel dirty.”
The Oakley Family patriarch soon learned about the Carson Family’s deception and was furious. He canceled the engagement and demanded the return of all betrothal gifts, threatening legal action if
