Chapter 1

I caught my husband and his mistress playing poker red-handed.

“Dana, since you’ve found out, I won’t hide it anymore. Let’s get a divorce!” he said bluntly.

I laughed out loud, flashing a wide smile and walked away with a small compensation package.

After the divorce, I moved to a cozy little house in the suburbs and ended up spoiling eight younger brothers.

One day, my ex-husband suddenly showed up, driven by his mother, looking to reconcile with me.

“Look at you, Dana! Have you fallen so far that you’re living in such poverty without me?”

“Get down on your knees, admit you were wrong and I might consider taking you back. You can even move back into our villa!”

I sneered and gestured towards the bedroom. Eight younger brothers came out, surrounding me, draping themselves casually around my shoulders.

“And what part of me looks impoverished to you? You may be unwanted, but I’m in high demand!”

——

Facing eight men who were younger, better-looking and more accomplished than himself, William’s face turned an unsightly shade of purple. His teeth clenched, his expression brimming with resentment.

“Dana! How long has it been since you left me? And this is how shameless you’ve become?”

I ignored William and lightly trailed my hand over Adam Ross’s eight-pack abs beside me.

“Hmm… Someone’s calling me shameless. Tell me, did I ever force you?”

Right in front of William and me, my brothers all slapped their solid chests proudly.

“Bullshit! Our sister’s charm is unparalleled—we’re here willingly!”

I smiled again and turned to look at William.

“Exactly. It’s mutual consent. Besides, I’m single and they’re unmarried. What’s the problem?”

“Unlike my ex-husband, who cheated on me during our marriage and kicked me out of the house!”

“And now, needing me to deal with his mother who’s returning from abroad, he has the audacity to beg me to act as his wife again!”

The truth was, while William was managing the Walter Corporation, the company’s shares were actually held by his mother, Sarah Walter, who lived abroad.

If William, the shameless scumbag, feared anything in this world, it was his ruthlessly shrewd mother.

It was her cunning that enabled the Walter Family to rise above the other four great families and achieve its current position.

As for me, it was Sarah Walter who personally chose me to marry William back then.

But not long into our marriage, William fell for his secretary and kicked me to the curb.

He kept all this hidden from his mother, who was living overseas. Now, with her sudden return for her 60th birthday, he was desperate and had come crawling back to me to play the role of the dutiful daughter-in-law.

This pathetic man!

What William still didn’t understand was why his mother insisted he marry an ordinary woman like me.

He didn’t realize that the reason the Walter Family was able to rise above the other great families and maintain its dominance was the Ross Family’s financial and political backing behind the scenes—a secret only a select few knew.

Although my parents had passed away a few years ago due to genetic illnesses, they had left the entire Ross Family estate in my hands.

My sarcastic remarks made William’s face turn even darker.

“Enough with the act, Dana. Hiring a few male models to put on a show doesn’t cost that much. You’re probably spending the divorce settlement I gave you anyway.”

“If you come back and play your part, my mom might even reward you with a few more million. You know she’s always liked you as a daughter-in-law.”

“My mom’s 60th birthday party isn’t just for her; my dad, family elders and everyone will be there. Don’t embarrass me!”

By the end of his rant, William’s face was flushed with anger, a mix of shame and fury.
