Betty, the eldest daughter of The White family in New York City, was sent to live in a remote countryside for eighteen years due to her parents' divorce. Upon her return, she was labeled with all kinds of nicknames: "country bumpkin," "hillbilly"... Henry, known as Mr. William in New York City, has a mysterious background and wields immense power-no one dares to offend him. Two completely unrelated people were suddenly informed one day: They. Were. Married! For Betty: "It doesn't matter who I marry, but if I don't want to, whoever dares to force me... I'll kill them." For Mr. William: Before meeting Betty: "My wife? The position of a top elite lady in New York City is not for just anyone." "No matter where she is, find that woman and bring her to me!" "This arranged marriage must be annulled!" After meeting Betty: "My wife is a top-tier hacker, and I'm shocked." "My wife is a godly doctor, and I'm in awe." "My wife is a master of the mystical arts, and I bow to her." "My wife has too many hidden identities... Suddenly, I feel unworthy of her!" For everyone else: "Mr. William, we advise you not to show off too much."
Betty lay on an examination bed surrounded by medical equipment, as the conversation of a man and a woman reached her ears.
Man, "The White family's eldest daughter sure is unlucky. She just arrived from the countryside to seek refuge with her family, only to be sent straight to the operating table by her father to have a kidney removed. Such a shame for a face this beautiful."
Woman, "Lower your voice. She still doesn't know she's about to lose a kidney."
The man sneered. "What's there to be afraid of? She's been injected with enough anesthetic to keep her unconscious until the surgery is over. Are the compatibility results out?"
Woman, "Yes, they are. It's a basic match for transplantation. Mr. White's condition has worsened, and we can't delay any longer. The surgery is scheduled for 7 PM tonight."
The man lifted Betty's T-shirt, his fingers lightly tracing the skin at her waist.
"Making an incision on such smooth, fair skin... What a pity."
Just as he was about to take further liberties, Betty's eyes snapped open, a chilling, murderous intent flashing in her gaze.
The woman gasped in horror. "She's awake! Hurry, give her the IV injection!"
The man grabbed the anesthetic as fast as he could and moved forward-only to be met with a swift slap from Betty.
"You think someone like you has the right to touch my body?"
The syringe fell to the floor.
Betty didn't give him a chance to react. With a sharp motion, she raised her leg and delivered a powerful kick to the man's chest.
He flew across the room in an arc, landing hard as a mouthful of blood spurted from his throat.
Sensing danger, the woman bolted for the door.
But before she could even grasp the doorknob, a sudden numbness spread through her body. A thin, needle-like object had embedded itself in the back of her neck.
Turning back in shock, she saw Betty idly twirling a uniquely designed pen between her fingers.
The needle had been ejected from inside that pen.
"You-"
That was all the woman managed to say before she collapsed, unconscious.
The man trembled in terror. "D-Don't come any closer! We're just following orders!"
Betty smirked coldly. "Stealing someone's kidney without consent? Doctor, I'm afraid your career ends here."
Not giving him a chance to beg for mercy, she picked up the anesthetic meant for her and injected it into the male doctor instead.
As she watched both of them pass out, Betty dusted off imaginary specks from her clothes.
She took a white coat from the hanger, put it on at a leisurely pace, and donned a mask. After making sure everything was in place, she calmly exited the room without drawing any attention.
Those two idiots thought they could drug her under the pretense of a DNA test. Too bad for them-she had seen it coming.
A few days ago, a man claiming to be her father had approached her, saying she was the long-lost daughter of The White family.
That man was Hazel White, a well-known figure in New York City's restaurant industry.
He had acted heartbroken upon learning that his daughter had suffered in the countryside with her mother. Full of remorse, he insisted on making it up to her.
There was just one condition-Betty had to take a paternity test at a private hospital.
Betty had no expectations for this so-called father-daughter bond. What truly intrigued her was whether Hazel had an ulterior motive.
So, she played along with their game.
And sure enough, things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Hazel didn't want to compensate her-he wanted to harvest her kidney to save the son born to his second wife.
Fine. Very well.
Betty lived by a single principle, If no one offends me, I won't offend them. But if someone wrongs me... I will destroy them.
If The White family wanted her organs, she would be sure to return the favor with an unforgettable "gift" of her own.
At the Same Time
On the top floor of Imperial Hotel, a contract signing ceremony was taking place.
The William family, with its century-old legacy, held an unparalleled position in New York City.
Its head, Henry William, was a young yet legendary figure, known to the outside world as Mr. William.
The one fortunate enough to sign a contract with The William family was none other than Iris, a genius young woman born into a prestigious family and widely recognized as a rising star in the hacking world.
She had recently won an award for designing a cutting-edge cybersecurity system, making waves throughout New York City.
Impressed by her potential, Henry had personally secured her long before she even graduated.
At the contract signing, alongside Henry's bodyguards and assistant, Iris's parents were also in attendance.
Hazel White, her father, spoke with excitement.
"Mr. William, I entrust my daughter Iris to your care from now on."
Having finally established ties with The William family, he was ecstatic-so much so that he had temporarily forgotten about his son waiting for a kidney transplant at the hospital.
Iris's mother, Maya, a former top-tier actress in the entertainment industry, wore a flattering smile.
"Imperial Hotel has implemented the security system Iris designed. With it, Mr. William can now rest easy."
Henry maintained the basic formalities. "You flatter me."
Meanwhile, Iris stole glances at the man sitting across from her.
He was devastatingly handsome, his aristocratic aura leagues beyond the wealthy young men she had encountered before.
Becoming Mrs. William was Iris's ultimate dream.
Just as the gathering was going smoothly, the lights suddenly flickered.
Mrs. White frowned. "What's going on?"
Out of nowhere, more than a dozen bodyguards moved in like shadows, instantly forming an impenetrable protective circle around Henry.
Their speed was so swift that the White family members barely had time to react.
Then-
BANG!
The chandelier, worth millions, exploded.
The blast triggered the fire alarm, and water began sprinkling down from the ceiling.
One of the bodyguards swiftly opened a black umbrella, shielding Henry from the falling water.
Meanwhile, Henry remained seated like a king, utterly composed. Not even a hint of surprise crossed his face.
Mrs. White shrieked. "Is there a fire?!"
Iris reassured her mother. "Calm down, Mom. Don't forget whose territory this is."
Imperial Hotel was a William family property, and just a few hours ago, it had officially activated the security system designed by Iris herself.
Yet, it had already failed spectacularly.
A guard quickly shut off the alarm, stopping the water flow. The bodyguard with the umbrella respectfully stepped back.
Then, the door swung open.
A tall figure strode in-Betty, wearing a black baseball cap.
Even with the brim covering half her face, her stunning features were impossible to hide.
When Henry got a clear look at her, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It's her?
Sensing his men about to take action, Henry wordlessly signaled them to stand down.
He was curious-just what was this woman up to?
Betty spared him only a glance before completely ignoring his presence.
Mr. White was the first to react. "Betty?! What are you doing here?"
At this time, wasn't she supposed to be at the private hospital getting her kidney tested for compatibility?
Betty tossed a report onto the table.
"You said that if I proved we were father and daughter, you'd give me half of The White family's assets. The DNA results are here-so, are you going to keep your word?"

In the darkness of the night, the man kissed me recklessly. He was my live-in husband.

The Tragic Fate of Alex, the Rise of Diana The head of the top US consortium, Alex, met an untimely demise, and all his assets were transferred to Diana. The real heiress of The White Family was found after eighteen years. Yet, everyone mocked her, calling her uncultured, useless, and nothing more than a pretty vase. However, at the wedding of the century, when the wife of the young head of The Smith Family was revealed to be none other than the "vase" Diana, the socialites of New York City were left pounding their chests in disbelief-How could she deserve this?! After Alex's death, Diana not only had to face the covetous gazes of The Smith Family but also play the role of a leader among various powerful organizations. Alex's subordinates assured her, "We will handle everything; you just need to sit on the throne." But later...

When her loved ones fell ill, the legendary medical master personally visited and admitted-she was Diana's senior disciple! The renowned racing legend willingly became Diana's personal driver, calling her "Boss" at every turn. Alex's subordinates were in utter disbelief, "Wasn't she supposed to be a weak little white flower, a soft and obedient golden canary?!" But Alex wasn't entirely dead. When his consciousness awakened, he found himself soul-bound to a plush doll-one that Diana had designed in his likeness. Now, he not only had to endure being dressed and undressed by Diana but also be at her mercy, bathed and squeezed in her hands... Watching her reveal one hidden identity after another, Alex was utterly dumbfounded. Even the woman he admired and respected the most-was her?! [Mini Theater 1] Alex, now in plush doll form, was held against Diana's soft, snowy chest as she stood before a mirror. Staring at his own ridiculously extravagant appearance, his expression cracked- "Is this really how she sees me in her heart?!" Diana's fingers teasingly unfastened his tiny clothes, one button at a time. Alex shut his eyes, his mind filled with only one thought- "I want to die." [Mini Theater 2] Diana stared at the dust-covered plush doll, frowning, "My doll is precious-I have to wash it myself." Alex's inner monologue, "Stay away from me!" After an intense round of scrubbing and kneading, his soul burned with shame, his spirit flushed red, on the verge of tears. Diana, completely satisfied, gave him a kiss-he turned even redder... They said Alex had a cleanliness obsession, high standards, and was impossible to please. But now? He felt that... maybe staying dirty wasn't so bad after all. [Mini Theater 3] Once back in his real body, Alex trapped Diana against the wall, his gaze burning as he questioned, "You took so much advantage of me, destroyed my innocence-how are you going to repay me?" Diana's eyes gleamed mischievously. "That bad, huh? How about you cry for me first?" Alex, "..."
