He Destroyed Me for His Step-Sister, So I Married Into Old MoneyChapter 1

The night I was crowned Pure Jade Maiden of the entertainment industry, my intimate photos hit trending on social media.

I was on my way to find my boyfriend, to ask for his help, when I overheard his conversation with one of his lackeys.

"Mr. Simmons really lives up to his reputation. Leaking those photos of Beryl Summers just destroyed her overnight."

"Now that audiences won't touch her, they'll naturally flock to Marina's new film."

Abraham Simmons laughed, cruel and unhurried.

"Don't let that innocent face fool you. Underneath it all, Beryl Summers is wild and venomous. Absolutely addictive." He paused. "If she'd just behaved herself, I would've handed her any resource she wanted."

"But no. She had to go and hurt my Marina."

As he spoke, his expression went cold. He crushed out his cigarette, his voice dropping to something bone-chilling.

"I'm not just cutting off her career. I want her name dragged through the mud. I want her buried so deep she never crawls back out."

The words hit me like a bolt of lightning. I turned away and typed out a message to my family.

I'll agree to the arranged marriage.
