The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

The dinner concluded with a suffocating atmosphere.

Upon learning about the news of her marriage alliance with the Iverson family, Amelia acted like she was sitting on needles. Her delicate face lost all color as if all the blood had been drained from her body, feeling cold from head to toe.

On the way home, she sat in the same car as her mother, not even having the chance to talk to Wyatt.

"Mom... Why?"

Tears shone in Amelia's eyes as she choked up, asking, "You know I love Steven... You know that I only want to marry him. Why... Why do you want me to marry into the Iverson family?!"

Bitterness surged in Celeste's heart, but she still replied calmly, "Your father and I think this is a more suitable marriage for you. Steven's personality is great, but we disapprove of his family.

Recalling the slanders and humiliation she suffered from Shannon when she was still an actress, Celeste still felt her heart ache. "Hunter's actions and his parents' indulgence are something your father and I can't tolerate. The Lovett family has lost their morals, and we don't want to become their in-laws."
