Chapter 1 Get Married in Your Sister’s Stead

“Are you asking me to marry the man who’s paralyzed in the lower half of his body in Sienna’s stead? No! I’m not doing it!”

Rebecca Chambers never thought that she would encounter such a ridiculous thing as soon as she returned to her home, the Chambers Residence.

Benjamin Chambers looked troubled. “Rebecca, just agree to it on the account of me bringing you back from the village. Your sister is about to be engaged to the young master of the Stewart Family. Do you want your sister to cheat on Mr. Stewart?”

“This has nothing to do with me!” Her attitude was firm as she declined.

After getting married with Chelsea Hunt, Benjamin left Rebecca and her grandmother in the village.

All those years, Benjamin never so much as spared Rebecca a glance.

If Rebecca didn’t depend on herself, she would’ve died of hunger on the streets.

“Rebecca, you’d better shut up and accept it. You have the rare honor of marrying into the powerful Foley Family despite your status, so quit being so arrogant!” shouted Chelsea, Rebecca’s stepmother, whose exquisite face was filled with alienation and disgust. If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest young master of the Foleys was paralyzed, this opportunity would never be presented to Rebecca.

Although Rebecca had been living in the village all this while, she didn’t seem like a country bumpkin whatsoever.

Instead, she possessed an otherworldly aura. Her complexion was radiant, and she had exquisite features. Even Chelsea admired Rebecca’s beauty, so naturally, men would be attracted to her as well.

Powerful? Rebecca thought as she sneered. With her current ability, she could even purchase an entire city. Why would she need a man?

“Even if I were to be convinced to marry into the Foley Family, you have no say in the matter. You’re a woman who destroyed another family, after all.”

Rebecca had delicate features, and her looks made her stand out. Her skin was tender and supple as if one could easily squeeze moisture out of it. However, despite the girl’s unadulterated beauty, her gaze was especially sharp.

“Enough! Who allowed you to talk to your stepmother like that?!” Benjamin’s reprimand came with his slap, which landed heavily on Rebecca’s face.

Rebecca covered her hurting cheek, the gleam in her eyes turning even more captivating.

Chelsea retrieved a few photos from her purse. “These are the places your grandmother visited during the few days she went out. Her last stop was none other than the Foley Residence. If you don’t want her to rest in peace, you can choose not to get married.”

Rebecca looked at her grandmother’s figure in the photos. Anger accumulated in her chest as she clenched her fists tightly.

Two months ago, her grandmother passed away unexpectedly after visiting the city. That was why Rebecca was asked to return from the village.

Moreover, Rebecca only agreed to return to the Chambers Residence so that she could investigate the truth behind her grandmother’s death.

Rebecca took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll do it.”

Chelsea grinned gleefully and walked up to Rebecca. She was about to place her hand on the girl’s shoulder, but Rebecca dodged away.

“Well, you should’ve said yes early on, and your dad wouldn’t have slapped you. Don’t worry, you won’t be at a disadvantage if you marry into the Foley Family. At least you’ll live a good life getting whatever you want.”

Chelsea knew all along that Old Mrs. Chambers was Rebecca’s weakness, and coincidentally, Old Mrs. Chambers had visited the Foley Family before her untimely death.

Even if the Foleys were involved in Old Mrs. Chambers’ death, this had nothing to do with Chelsea. She would be happy as long as Rebecca agreed to get married.

Rebecca swore in her heart that she would figure out the truth behind her grandmother’s death and bring the murderer to justice. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As for that slap, she wouldn’t forget it anytime soon.

Early the next morning, Benjamin instructed the driver to take Rebecca to the entrance of the Foley Residence. Since he was running out of time, he didn’t even take a look at Rebecca.

The Foley Family had already sent someone to wait at the gate. When the butler, Jacob Tanner, saw Rebecca, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Why did the old master agree to this engagement? Jacob thought. Why is this girl so ugly?!
