Chapter 1:
The night. Heavy rain, strong wind, thunder, and lightning.
Livi Taylor is dragging suitcases, wandering in the rain.
"Livi, Peter Benson didn't divorce you because he won the lottery for fifteen billion. It was because you failed to fulfill your wife's obligations."
"Livi Taylor, do you mind? I've been wanting to talk about divorce for a long time. You don't want a divorce. Do you still want to divide the inheritance?" Livi Taylor's face was not clear whether it was rain or tears.
Blurry eyes.
When crossing the street, there was a silver Bentley car rushing over. She was so sad that she didn't notice the car headlights shining directly on her.
It wasn't until the car was about to come in front of her that she reacted, but her mind was stagnant, standing still, watching the vehicle directly drive towards her.
Ket —
Silver Bentley quickly changed direction. He could see the skillful skill of the car owner. Because the speed was too fast, he accidentally hit the barrier.
Livi Taylor stood where she was, her heart pounding wildly.
The silver Bentley hit the fence and stopped moving.
It's late at night, the place is quiet, no traffic.
Livi Taylor stood still for a few seconds before reacting, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, then threw her suitcase and ran to the silver Bentley.
In the dark car, Livi Taylor lay face down on the window of the car, vaguely seeing the figure of a man lying on the steering wheel.
Livi Taylor banged on the car window: "Hey, are you okay?"
Either way, it was because of her he bumped into the fence. If anything happens to him, she handles it.
Hearing the click, Livi Taylor hastily pulled open the car door and leaned in. "Are you still okay? Ah…" Her voice was still a little whimpering.
Before he finished speaking, the man on the steering wheel suddenly reached out and grabbed Livi Taylor's arm, pulling her in.
The car door is closed.
Livi Taylor fell on the man's lap, his hot hand like an iron chain locking around her waist, making her unable to move.
"Let go, let me go…." Livi Taylor, sensing danger, stammered a sentence at him.
"Do you wanna die?"
He slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and hoarse, like a stream of brandy sliding down his throat.
Livi Taylor was stunned for a few seconds before reacting to him, talking about her walking in the middle of the street. She whipped her head: "I didn't mean it."
"Whether you did it on purpose, but you have a fair booty makes many thieves. Don't blame me..." With that, the man lifted her and put her on his thigh.
Feeling the man's strength, Livi Taylor's head went numb, stammering: "What do you want to do...
"Can I tell you?"
The man crouched down, and his cold thin lips directly kissed her lips.
Livi Taylor felt her head explode.
The man's kiss was full of aggression and a little tricky, but it quickly found its way in. Livi Taylor's mind went blank for a long time until the pain came. She regained her senses, desperately hitting the man in front.
The man enjoyed the taste, fell on the chair, and pressed her under his body…
Heavy rain all night seemed to have washed away the crimes of this city.
One crazy night…
The man's fingertips in the car moved slightly, and the man's deep, sharp eyes suddenly opened. Rick Twilight sat up.
There was still the sweet breath that the woman left in the air, but the scene was only him.
Flee? Rick Twilight's eyes were a few parts deeper, his eyes fell on the deep red stain on the chair, and his eyes were a bit complicated. It's annoying!
Rick Twilight phoned his assistant Bartleby, coldly ordering: "Immediately locate me, then find out who the woman last night was from."
After speaking, without waiting for the assistant to understand, he hung up the phone.
Livi Taylor ran away in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the heavy rain. She could not bear to return to her mother's house.
Having been married for so many years, even though her husband had never slept with her, she slept with a strange man today, so Livi Taylor was extremely panicked.
When he woke up, she chose to run away.
"Livi Taylor."
Livi's mother filled the door and entered, handing her a bowl of ginger soup.
"Thanks, Mom."
"Are you and Peter Benson completely over ?"
Referring to Peter Benson, Livi Taylor shook her eyelids, took the ginger soup, and drank it bit by bit, clearly not wanting to talk about it too much.
"Divorce is good. Anyway, your father has arranged another marriage for you."
Hearing that, Livi Taylor's heart pounded, and she raised her head: "Mom?"
"Even though the adversary has a leg defect, you're getting married for the second time, so don't hate it."
Livi Taylor: "Mom, what are you saying?"
Livi's mother stood up and glared at her.
"The marriage is scheduled to take place in a month. If you don't want to get married, you have to get married."
"Me and Peter Benson just got divorced tonight. Why did you do it?" Livi Taylor just felt her heart grow cold.
"Don't argue, this marriage story originally fell on your younger sister, but you're already divorced, so you should replace your younger sister."
At this point, Livi's mother took a deep breath and looked at her calmly: "The adversary has a leg defect, Livi. The Taylor family can't destroy both daughters."
In an aching heart, Livi Taylor's hand holding ginger soup gradually trembled, her mouth stuttering: "Mom, I am your biological daughter...
"Macy is your biological younger sister. You heartlessly watch her suffer?" "
"So what about me?"
"In short, that's all. In a month, you must marry the younger master of the Twilight family! If the two daughters of the Taylor family are not able to marry a decent man, neither I nor your dad will be able to live."
Livi Taylor's younger sister, Macy Taylor, came to see her on the day of her marriage.
"Sister, sorry, I didn't mean it, but mom…."
Livi Taylor looked at her, eyes unblinking: "Excuse me? So, am I willing to wear a smiley dress and get married on your behalf?"
"Sister, I…" Macy Taylor clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and finally let go, depressed: "I have a boyfriend, and you, you are divorced."
Livi Taylor retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes: "Yes, I'm divorced. Take good care of your parents. Because of this, they can be said to have dedicated themselves and wasted all their thoughts on me. Agree."
Marrying a person with a handicap proves that her whole life must always take care of him. If this is her number, she can accept it.
But this is the number of Macy Taylor, whom Livi Taylor, after experiencing her husband's betrayal, returns to her mother's house, thinking she can find some consolation.
But without thinking, what was obtained was the news that she should marry the Twilight family instead of the younger sister.
Because the other party has a leg defect, the parents do not want to destroy Macy Taylor.
So what about her? Is it because she has been divorced that you have to suffer like this?
So funny! But it was her parents who were born and raised her. She just had to accept it.
The Twilight family organized a huge party and went through a cumbersome wedding because Livi Taylor married to replace Macy Taylor. Before she arrived, she was brainwashed by the Taylor family.
Although everyone didn't know her, it was probably because Livi Taylor was hesitant, so the whole process was bowed, trying her best not to let others notice.
Fortunately, the groom was in a wheelchair, and his breath was as cold as ice, and the whole wedding was about to freeze, so everyone's attention was mostly on him.
Although the wedding ceremony was long, it was still considered simple because Rick Twilight did not respect alcohol. People were afraid of his charisma and did not dare to provoke him.
After the wedding was completed, Livi Taylor was taken into the wedding room.
-----------
The old maid appeared in front of her: "The second lady, although saying that our second master has a leg defect, good or bad, he is a breadwinner of families Twilight, after your husband comes here, you must devote yourself to taking care of your husband."
Later that night, her mother told her to marry the Twilight family instead of Macy Taylor. The next day, she had a high fever, and it was only a few days later.
After that, the disease kept repeating, forever not wholly cured. Before wearing a wedding dress, she still takes cold medicine.
At that time, the eyelids were very heavy. After hearing the maid's words, she repeatedly nodded, saying: "I know. Can I rest for a while?"
She really couldn't stand it anymore.
The maid, who looked at her, immediately filled with hatred, said a few random sentences as she walked out.
Livi Taylor didn't care if it was a wedding dress as soon as she left. She directly laid her head to sleep.
In the dream, there seemed to be sharp eyes falling on her face, very strange.
But now, she let her hair down again, her soft black hair falling to cover half of her face, looking even thinner at first glance.
More importantly, this appearance is highly similar to her mother when she was young.

Seeing Andy Smith like that, Jason Smith immediately froze until Andy Smith walked in front of him and called out to him. Jason Smith was startled to react.
Because of the memory of his mother, who had died soon, Jason Smith's mood also dropped. Now he said "Yes," in a slightly rich voice.
After getting into the car, Andy Smith finally couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going now?"
When she went to the door and looked at the time, it was already late at night.
Daphne Dymond sat in the front passenger seat, and when she heard that, she turned her head and smiled, replying: "Miss Andy will know when we get there."
Andy Smith: "…"
She kept feeling as if there was something she didn't know.
But soon to meet Rick Twilight, Andy Smith thought, these questions when meeting him will disappear on their own.
She didn't know how long the car had been running but Jason Smith, sitting next to her, suddenly said: "I have something to ask you."
Andy Smith then looked at him: "Why...?"
Jason Smith did not turn his head. He raised his deep gaze to the window, his thin lips pursed tightly, still speechless.
Much later, Jason Smith spoke again.
"I hypothesized a little, let's say I found him, but he doesn't know you, so what should you do later?"
Andy Smith: "???"
What does this word mean? What is it called finding Rick Twilight, but he doesn't know her???
"Brother, what do you say? Why can't I hear it? Why say he doesn't know me? How can Rick not know me?"
Jason Smith tilted his head, looking at his younger sister.
"You're just pretending." Andy Smith's small face paled slightly, and she didn't answer him either. She couldn't seem to bear this question.
Seeing the younger sister like that, Jason Smith frowned coldly: "I just assumed that you couldn't accept it, so what if this is true?"
"No!"
Andy Smith shook his head vigorously, trying to make excuses for Rick Twilight.
"That can't be. The hypothesis is just a hypothesis. It can't be true. How could he not know me? You, you mustn't joke!"
Andy Smith said, then angrily tilted his head to the other side, not paying attention to Jason Smith anymore.
Jason Smith pursed his thin lips. "What if I told you I wasn't joking?"
Andy Smith turned his head momentarily, wide-eyed, looking at Jason Smith.
In the co-drivers seat, Daphne Dymond could also feel the uneasiness in the air clear, but right now, she didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
Whatever Jason Smith said, it's true.
And they are about to see the truth of this matter, and now it seems like it would be pointless to say other words.
He didn't know how long it took. Jason Smith's voice rang again: "I'm not joking with you. What I said earlier was not a hypothesis, but a fact."
Daphne Dymond seemed to be able to smell a tragic smell in the air. She looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Andy Smith's expression remained unchanged, still sitting, but her eyes were red again.
Andy Smith knew Jason Smith wasn't lying to her. From the moment he began to hypothesize, she had a vague feeling that this could be the truth of everything but did not expect it... to be true.
Andy Smith looked at Jason Smith with red eyes, a little self-mockery in his voice: "So you say doubt, just say this?"
Jason Smith did not continue. In front of him, Daphne Dymond only had to continue talking about this issue on his behalf.
"Miss Andy, we didn't mean to lie to you either, it's just that when we found out this was indeed a bit suspicious, so... so we were going to let Miss Andy come and see for yourself, waiting for you to meet him- Young Master Twilight will know all about it."
"So now we… Where do we go to meet him?" Andy Smith didn't know how long it took him to absorb this. He just asked instinctively.
Daphne Dymond glanced at the map and sighed: "Coming soon."
About a few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a high-rise building, this kind of architecture. Five years ago, when Andy Smith lived abroad, she saw a lot and recognized it at a glance.
"This… this is…?!"
"This is the world-famous company of the Arkwright family in country A. "Daphne Dymond continued, slowly looking back at Andy Smith. "Our people are the ones who saw Master Twilight here. As for why he's here, I also have some investigation documents."
Daphne Dymond said as she pulled out her bag of documents, then handed a portion of the paper to Andy Smith.
Andy Smith bit his lip and took it but didn't open it.
"We didn't know why Young Master Twilight was here at first, but later on, we discovered that Young Master Twilight's aunt Miele Devon was actually the youngest daughter of the Arkwright family, Mrs. Twilight- her sister is also Sandra Devon - Young Master Twilight's biological mother, whose real name is Diaspro Arkwright. The two cousins that year were the famous flower sisters of the Arkwright family, but why they had to leave the Arkwright House and go to S City in the future, we have no way of knowing about this can be checked".
- ----------------------
Livi Taylor sleeps alone in her room. She wakes up early and arranges her things in the closet, monopolizing the entire space.
Last night, she and Rick Twilight made it clear that he probably wouldn't be there, so this room was hers.
They are just husband and wife, not related to each other.
For her, that was a good thing.
After Livi Taylor had changed, she went downstairs. The servant was busy. Livi Taylor was a little hungry, so she wanted to ask where the kitchen was, but unexpectedly the maid filled her up.
"Where did this woman come from? Don't get in the way of others!"
Livi Taylor didn't notice and fell to the ground.
The proud maid glanced at her, her eyes suddenly turning fearful.
A pair of warm hands lifted Livi Taylor. Livi Taylor turned her head and made her eyes as gentle as jade.
This person wore a white shirt, without a single wrinkle, a gentle smile like the three-month spring wind blowing on his face.
Livi Taylor froze for a moment, then immediately reacted, quickly taking two steps back to keep her distance from him.
"Thank you."
"No need to be polite, sister-in-law."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Rick's eldest brother, and my name is Oritel Twilight.
Oritel Twilight is introduced to Livi Taylor.
Livi Taylor was a little surprised, but it turned out that it was the eldest brother. She shook hands with Oritel Twilight: "Hello, brother."
The voice was a little tense.
"Just now, the servants were wrong. I apologize on their behalf. I hope you don't take it to heart, my brother is easy to live with. I will tell them later."
Livi Taylor nodded: "Thank you, brother."
Oritel Twilight laughed and was about to say something when a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Looks like I came at the wrong time."
This voice… Livi Taylor looked toward the voice.
Bartleby pushed Rick Twilight away in a wheelchair, covered with a thin feather blanket on his feet.
Even though he is in a wheelchair, he still appears to dominate the world.
His gaze was as cold as ice, like a blade resting on Livi Taylor's face.
Livi Taylor shyly lowered her head.
Wait, why would she hesitate? She had to greet the elder member of her husband's family on her first day there.
"Rick, I rarely see you at home." Oritel Twilight was still smiling at this little brother, but Rick Twilight treated him differently, with no expression on his face, only a faint nod.
"Oldest brother."
"Yes, the eldest brother doesn't bother you and my younger sister-in-law anymore."
Oritel Twilight finished looking at Livi Taylor and said softly: "Younger sister-in-law, I have to go to the company. I go first."
Livi Taylor blankly nodded, then watched Oritel Twilight leave. When she was about to withdraw her gaze, she heard Rick Twilight satirically say: "Is a divorced woman so hungry? Can't wait to start seducing men?"
Livi Taylor suddenly regained consciousness: "What did you say?"
Rick Twilight's deep black eyes instantly darkened, and Livi Taylor sensed his brutality. Livi Taylor bit her bottom lip: "I'm not as mean as you think."
"Really?" Rick Twilight curled the corner of his lips into a sarcastic smile that didn't put her in the eye. "Isn't a woman who just got divorced who can't wait to find a second spring, doesn't it mean?"
Livi Taylor clenched her fists, a little angry.
Wants to find a second spring? She was also forced.
But Livi Taylor wasn't going to talk about this with him. No matter what, she just had to stay.
Livi Taylor thought so. Then her clenched fists let go.
"You'd better keep your promise, unrelated to the Twilights. If I find out that you've done something with the Twilight reputation, or have any intentions with the Twilights, I will make your life worse than death."
"Bartleby." Bartleby pushed Rick Twilight away.
Rick Twilight and Bartleby were gone, and a maid came to tell her. "The second lady, our old man, wants to see you." Older adult? The boss of the Twilight family?
Livi Taylor immediately tensed. Her mother said before that the Twilight family had not met Macy Taylor, so they dared to do something wrong to let her get married instead of Macy Taylor there.
Then, Livi Taylor heard that the older adult wanted to see her and immediately became agitated.
"The second lady, follow me."
The old maid, seeing her troubled, opened her mouth to speak.
Livi Taylor came back to her senses and nodded in pursuit.
House Twilight's room was huge, and even though the maid led the way, Livi Taylor daydreamed.
Coming to the study room quickly, the maid's attitude was humble. "The second lady, please come in."
Livi Taylor said thank you in a low voice and went into the room.
The room was not significantly different from her imagination. Very solemn and dignified. Moreover, the decorations and bookshelves are a bit old-fashioned. On the bookshelf were all kinds of pens and paintings. Then she immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at the person in the room.
"Sir, please ——— hello sir."
Livi Taylor faced the older adult's eyes and was absorbed by the wise gaze.
Grandpa Twilight was watching her.
Livi Taylor thought about her identity and immediately became tense, not knowing how to lower her eyes, afraid that Grandpa Twilight would see her guilt.
She's done dealing with Rick Twilight, but what if Grandpa Twilight finds out she's not Macy Taylor? Then what?
"Macy Taylor!"
"Yes?"
Livi Taylor reflexively raised her head, faced the older adult's gaze, and quickly lowered her head. Grandpa Twilight's gaze was extremely stern.
"Rick's health has not been good since childhood. If I marry him, then I have to take good care of him later. What should a wife do? Don't you need me to teach you right?"
"I know."
"Starting tomorrow, you are going to work next to Rick, working as his assistant."
Livi Taylor heard this and raised her eyes in surprise: "But sir, I still have a job... "
What? Is the Twilight family so feudal? Of course, Livi Taylor didn't dare say these words in front of the older adult of the Twilight family, nor did Grandpa Twilight give her a chance to open her mouth and tell her to leave.
After Livi Taylor left the study and returned to her room, the mood was still sad.
But Grandpa Twilight's words were stringent. Livi Taylor knew that the older adult would constrain her if she didn't resign.
In the end, Livi Taylor had to resign.
Her job was very average. After marrying Peter Benson, she wanted to be able to finish cooking before he got off work, so she worked as an assistant manager in a small company nearby.
After Livi Taylor resigned, someone quickly took her place.
Livi Taylor heard this news and was shocked for a long time.
She understands that there's always someone who can easily take her place, whether it's work or marriage.
Livi Taylor smiled wryly.
After she resigned, Grandpa Twilight came out and told Rick Twilight to take her with him to the company.
"I'm not looking for an assistant. I know what you're worried about, but now Macy Taylor is your wife. Let her follow you around and take care of you."
