From Stand-in to Heiress: The Lies of My Billionaire Husband Exposed by Me novel Chapter 7

As he pulled me, my handbag fell. A marriage certificate tumbled out .

"A marriage certificate—so it’s a marriage certificate."

Someone picked it up, revealing both Carter's and my names clearly printed on it.

"This is Carter! Carter is married, just like that reporter said."

Someone shout, and the crowd erupted in noise.

"I can’t believe Carter is married, and to a country girl?"

"So all his declarations to Lamia were lies? Lamia is just a mistress!"

"Lamia always acts like she's the CEO’s wife, looking down on everyone, but it turns out she’s the mistress!"

Carter shoved me away and snatched the marriage certificate, tearing it into pieces.

"This is fake! How could I, the president of the Blaine Corporation, marry a country girl? This is forged."

He tossed the shredded certificate at me with disdain.

"You, a woman who doesn’t know her place, dare to cling to the Blaine family."

I laughed bitterly, tears streaming down my face.

So admitting my existence made him feel this ashamed.

Carter slowly crouched down in front of me and whispered softly.

"So this was your plan. You knew who I was at the club, didn’t you? You came here to force me to acknowledge you, to get into the Blaine family."

His eyes grew cold as he continued.

"I knew you couldn’t handle the truth. That’s why I had our assets notarized. If we divorce, you get nothing. Leave now, and I’ll give you a few hundred thousand. But if you keep reaching for what’s not yours, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
