The Billionaire’s Wife Cried at the Wedding

For eight years, Ethan Cole has worked in a top-secret unit, rarely contacting the outside world. When his old class monitor, Victor Hale, tags him in the class group chat, Ethan learns Victor is marrying today—and the bride in the posted photo is Vivienne Shaw, the woman who begged Ethan to marry her three years ago. Ethan requests leave and drives to the wedding in the official vehicle his boss approved.

At the entrance, a banner congratulates Vivienne, President of Crownrise Corporation. Victor, smug in an expensive suit, basks in classmates' flattery as Eastbridge's richest man's husband. When they notice Ethan, they mock his car as a cheap garbage truck and a fake license plate. Victor punches him, claiming the car belongs to his wife, and shows photos of himself with Vivienne. The crowd brands Ethan a kept man, and Victor and the others smash the bulletproof car, tear its interior, and seize Ethan's jade necklace.

Ethan warns them that damaging the car means more than compensation, but they only laugh harder.
