He Threw Away a Billion-Dollar Wife

An invisible heir who once fled a wealthy family, in pursuit of the warmth of an ordinary household, married her college sweetheart and willingly served as a full-time wife and mother for five years. Yet after her husband achieved moderate success in his career, he grew disdainful of her for not being "presentable enough"; her mother-in-law looked down on both her and their daughter; a mistress wormed her way close to her husband under the pretense of investment; and her stepsister manipulated everything from the shadows, plotting to strip her of her inheritance rights forever. When her daughter was harmed, her marriage betrayed, and her dignity trampled on, she finally returned to Hartwell Couture, New York's top fashion conglomerate. No longer would she prove herself with tears — instead, with contracts, evidence, board votes and a public gala, she would make it clear to everyone step by step: what they had discarded was not just a housewife, but the rightful queen of a billion-dollar empire.
