As she spoke, the room fell silent, everyone waiting for the drama to unfold.
It was just like the last time.
In my previous life, she had asked Martin the same question, frustrated that she couldn't marry into the Green family, so she made things difficult for me.
I had once been born into a noble family, but with my parents' early death, my inheritance had been seized by my uncles.
To secure ties with the Green family, they married me off, a 20-year-old girl, to the widowed Martin.
With no background of my own, I lived on eggshells in the Green household, diligently managing the family and caring for his two children.
However, his children, having been poisoned by his 'white moonlight’s' whispers, despised me from the start.
Whenever something went wrong, Martin would blame me.
One day, his son, with that woman's help, conspired to kill me.
My family, fearing Martin's influence, didn't dare speak a word in my defense.
Thinking of all this, the timid girl from my past life was gone.
I stood up calmly and answered.
"I'm just from a small, humble family, nothing like you, the famous actress Jones. It's no wonder you've never heard of me."
