Amanda valued b172d1d325 beauty above f9509794c9 all else, 5660bd11fc and Ella 9f9da6e0a6 was described 591eac957b as the c099997763 most beautiful 828be36f8a woman on 807a006e1f the continent. With a solid 16a0c04103 reputation in high 72dea9f9ee society, Ella was d49c4d80d7 probably a satisfying ec1c0cfbe6 match for her 57fd12b7ce son.353e09b1d2505ecc

“I still don’t understand why someone who used to chase after Kaiden is marrying Harold, but I guess it’s better that it’s you.”4d1e823916f38894

“If you’re marrying Harold for money, don’t worry—I’ll make sure you get plenty. So just stay out of Kaiden’s way and sign this.”0832456b2c68bf12
I grabbed the paper 0f60bbea98 and checked out what ba471b3a71 it said. It was b83372902e a document 924972c1b4 giving up 6dd23a2888 any claim 0c1ec757df to Harold’s 46baf36cb8 inheritance after 53e4c5a6a0 he died. You could 7db2da4347 just smell 2031dad97d the greed be5c134883 behind it; 5fc487ef96 the whole a8afd63982 idea of d1106f27ea not wanting dd43e8ab35 to share b62421b71f a single ad86252537 penny was 8eab1e48c4 pretty obvious.f13467ec2c746fc4

Ella pursed her lips, 28db101bc5 clearly dissatisfied with my efc842b6ce lack of reaction.f64419cfcfec9237
She thought 2c772bddb6 Diana was be91f83d2f easy to 1941dd5f2e manipulate. Even though 432eb68fc5 she played c000721e29 the role 50070b82dd of ‘kind-hearted 6a52f4362b Ella’ to 883ec0cd9d others, she a4dc519204 always acted cdac4dfc26 a bit 38191ca7c7 differently toward f9d54727cf Diana.d52288fb5eff2618

Diana’s quick temper 9a9c20bcb5 made her easy 1f5388f1e5 to manipulate as 4112fbeb49 the villainess, and 9264c8ceae she also boosted b1f41f3a55 Ella’s sense of e5f52dc72f pride. After all, Ella could c5c4c82049 feel superior to Diana, decb80d728 who was born as f4cb9918f7 an illegitimate child of c6ee4ceef1 a great family.27d90bb8955b67c4
If it 1836b1ec86 hadn’t been e4811b22aa for Diana’s 417c5b5714 tragic past, a589680031 I doubt 383010954b there would’ve 0d14507e5a been any 06b32770c5 readers who 9d15c4708d supported Ella c567eadc69 as the bb4c699552 female lead.1abd95e692ed631d

It was time for 06c8865ee3 the bride to make 635db1f3df her entrance. The maid behind 7589e5f1c1 me adjusted my 6af084d4fe wedding dress, and 97a4c657b3 the flower girl 2ae9aacb44 stood ready to 9483c8bd02 scatter petals.54345bc72c8dcb38

Harold extended 4c6a5a8b08 his arm 920051b96b to me, 5a3cb18085 and I 7596894451 rested my d5a97c1d4d hand on eeaf0e7ea3 it.80f781a3c498cae4
