After dinner, Susan gave me a tour of the 

house. She told me to pick out my favorite 

room and move in when I felt ready

This mansion was huge. I told her to relax and 

I’ll explore on my own

I walked up to the second floor and heard 

Mark and Lily talking in one of the rooms

Lily, Jeff Jiang is a player. He’s not good 

enough for you. I don’t want you to marry 

him.” 

Mark, I have to marry someone, right? You 

have a girlfriend. I don’t like her either, but 

you’re not dumping her.” 

She’s pregnant. I can’t dump her right now.” 

Mark paused. Lily, you don’t have to marry 

anyone. I’ll take care of you.” 

Oh, she’s pregnant? You dog!Lily giggled

I guess I should try harder with Jeff. Maybe 

we’ll fall in love.” 

Don’t even think about it.” 

I dare you.” 

Wow, that’s messed up

After that day, I threw myself into work

Lily worked at the company too. She was in 

charge of quality control

We had to work together, and she always 

made my life difficult, but I handled it

I found out that the Richards and the Jiangs 

had a long history

The Jiangs used to be the Richardssuppliers

They helped the Richards start their business

They even bought stock in Richard 

Enterprises when the company was 

struggling

Then, the Richards pushed the Jiangs out of 

く 

the boardroom and found new suppliers

They screwed them over

Now, the Richards were running into 

problems, and the Jiangs had patented some 

technology. All the big brands wanted to work 

with them

The Richards wanted to get back in good with 

the Jiangs, so they came up with the 

marriage plan

It was crazy. Either the Jiangs were forgiving 

and only cared about business, or they had 

something up their sleeve

One weekend, Lily posted a picture on 

Instagram: At a concert with my love.” 

It was a picture of some singer’s concert and 

a picture of two hands holding each other

Looks like she went to the concert with Jeff 

Jiang

The next morning, I ran into Lily in the 

elevator

She brushed her hair over her shoulder

showing off a hickey on her neck. She glared 

at me and said, Jeff Jiang is mine. Don’t try 

to steal him from me.” 

Looks like she didn’t just go to the concert 

with Jeff. She stayed over

I said, Congrats, future Mrs. Jiang.” 

Don’t act like you’re happy for me. You’re 

jealous,she said

Just because you’re working at the company 

doesn’t mean you can take my place with my 

parents and Mark. An ugly duckling will 

always be an ugly duckling. Don’t try to be

swan.” 

Lily was wearing a white dress and diamond 

earrings, she looked like a swan

I wore a black business suit

In the mirror, we looked like yin and yang.

didn’t think I looked worse than her

The elevator doors opened on the first floor

and Jeff Jiang was standing there, wearing

black suit

Our R&D department had invited Jeff Jiang to 

discuss new products

He came to talk about new materials, so we 

could work together later

Jeff Jiang walked into the elevator and looked 

at me

Lily was jealous. She tugged on his arm. Jeff

let’s have lunch together.” 

Not at work,Jeff said. He looked away from 

Lily. Maybe.” 

Lily looked embarrassed

She could see Jeff staring at me in the 

elevator mirror

I said hi. Hi, Mr. Jiang.” 

Jeff shook my hand. Hi, I know you’re 

Maggie.” 

Lily was pissed

Lily was pissea

She had called me an ugly duckling. Now, she 

was the one being ignored

She thought I was trying to steal Jeff from 

her

But she was wrong. I was thinking about 

work

Jeff Jiang was a supplier I had to work with

that’s it
