The golden banquet's 'white moonlight' faked a faint to frame me, the Duke publicly slapped me across the face and forced me to kneel, but after the surveillance footage was projected on the screen, he shattered his knees begging me not to divorce!
For three years, Elena Walker played the perfect, obedient duchess, enduring cold neglect from her powerful husband, Ryder. During a grand anniversary gala, Ryder’s frail childhood sweetheart, Leah, staged a deliberate collapse to frame Elena. Without a single question or a shred of proof, Ryder publicly slapped Elena across the face, shattering her dignity before high society, and demanded she kneel in public humiliation. Surrounded by mocking family members and jeering elites, Elena’s heart finally turned to stone. Instead of crying or begging, she coldly demanded the ballroom security footage be played on the giant screen. As the truth of Leah’s malicious setup was brutally exposed to everyone, the devastating wave of guilt crashed over Ryder. But Elena refused his tearful repentance, throwing down a chilling demand for divorce and walking away forever.
