My Husband Remarried When I Was Away

I went abroad for three years to build a lab and save my husband's company from collapse.

After endless struggles, I finally cracked the technical problems and developed the core technology.

When I returned home with that breakthrough, I saw the airport video board plastered with the same impossible headline—my husband was getting married.

I felt a hot, furious ache and took a taxi straight to the venue.

…

A woman who had cared for our household for years blocked me at the gate and sneered. "Who do you think you are, showing up at the Stone family's wedding? Get out of here, or I'll get security to throw you out."

For a moment, I stood rooted, but then the bride appeared, walking out of the villa in a wedding gown.

It was the woman Adrian Stone had once told me was dead—his first love, Evelyn Sutton.

She wore my wedding ring on her finger and looked at me with pure contempt. "You want to make a scene at my wedding?" she said. "If you do, you're really asking for trouble. My husband, Adrian, won't hesitate to take care of you."

I folded my arms and let out a cold laugh. "Adrian's getting married? Funny, I don't recall getting an invitation."

The Wife Who Returned

The moment I finished speaking, the bridesmaid across from me burst into mocking laughter.

"Where did this lunatic come from? Has security fallen asleep? Who do you think you are, shouting Mr. Stone's name like that? Do you even know who you're talking to? This is Mrs. Stone!"

Evelyn crossed her arms and glanced at the employee badge in my hand. "Just a low-level staffer. Tell HR to fire her."

Fire me? She had no idea that Stone Group existed because of my investment.

Back then, the company's technology couldn't sustain production, and Adrian was losing sleep night after night, weighed down by failure. I couldn't stand to see him like that, so I led a team overseas for research and development. Three long years of relentless work and sacrifice later, I finally brought the core technology home.

I had planned to surprise him, but it turned out that he had a far greater surprise waiting for me.

While I was buried in radiation-filled labs, coughing up blood in hospital beds, he was busy rekindling his old flame.

My gaze swept over the crowd, icy and sharp, until it landed squarely on Evelyn. "I suggest you tell Adrian to get out here right now. If he doesn't, he'll regret it for the rest of his life."

I expected her to at least take me seriously, to sense the fury behind my calm tone. Instead, she sneered. Before I could finish speaking, someone grabbed my shoulders, forced me to my knees, and slapped me hard across the face.

"You have some nerve, causing a scene at the Stone family's doorstep. If I don't put you in your place, people might think we're easy to push around.
