Chapter 1
A grand party was taking place in the opulent hall. Julia sat there twirling a glass of red wine in her fingers as she half-listened to the gossip about her front the affluent ladies nearby.
"See? She looks just like a whore. I heard Mr. Wright never sleep with her. So what's the point of her pathetic marriage? Her husband doesn't even want to see her!" one woman commented
"Mr. Wright is always out partying, caught up in one scandal after another. It's obvious he has no affection for her," another added with a sneer.
Julia took a calm sip of her wine, aware that her loveless marriage to Harry was common knowledge in Kleade City.
"Hey, Mrs. Wright." A poised woman, visibly pregnant, made her way through the crowd, holding her belly gently. "I'm carrying Mr. Wright's child. I'd suggest you be wise-divorce Mr Wright soon and leave him," she announced boldly. The room buzzed with whispers as everyone's attention shifted to this dramatic declaration.
This woman was Rose Clark, a celebrity. She was taking a gamble with her public image, but if her move forced Harry Wright into a marriage, she believed the risk would pay off.
Julia looked over at Rose with a barely-there smile and asked in a gentle yet cold voice, "How far along, may ask?"
Taken aback by Julia's calm demeanor, Rose answered, "Three months."
Rose had been seen with Harry and his friends at a bar three months ago, confirming the timeline of her pregnancy.
The crowd went quiet, anticipating Julia's next move.
Unexpectedly, Julia reached into her bag, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Rose with a faint smile. "Please, get abortion."
Hearing this, Rose slapped the card away and stepped closer to Julia, bellowing, "Mrs. Wright, do you understand what I'm telling you? I'm carrying Mr. Wright's child! Once this baby is born, it will be the Wright family's eldest grandchild! You've been his wife for years witho Julia couldn't help but feel amused by people's persistent belief that she clung to the title "Mrs. Wright." Despite the provocation, she remained calm, her eyes narrowing slightly as she offered a smile. "You know, you're the 18th person said something like that to me." Rose's arrogance faltered, a hint of surprise crossing her face.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Julia calmly picked up the bank card, slipped it into Rose's bag, and stilled a yawn. "Miss Clark, take this money while I'm still offering. Find a decent hospital and abort the child. If Harry finds out, you might end up with nothing. What do you think?"
Julia's words, though spoken lightly, were like a heavy blow, Rose knew all too well that Harry had no interest in fatherhood, which was precisely why she had approached Julia, hoping to take Julia's place. However, she hadn't anticipated such a dismissal from Julia. Rose clenched her fists, her gaze darkening as she retorted, "Tm not like those stupid women, Julia. Just wait for Mr. Wright to discuss the divorce with you himself."
Julia twirled her glass, her smile unwavering. "We'll see if you can get him to do that." With that, she picked up her bag and left the venue with poised steps
However, a call from her housekeeper stopped Julia in her tracks. "Mrs. Wright, Mr. Wright... has brought a woman home
