My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

“Desi Scott, watch your words.” Ansel snapped, angrily rebuking the girl for insulting Erica. “I won’t allow you to offend Erica.”

“How dare you defend her?” Desi seethed, raising her voice. “Do you think you can easily bully me? Let me tell you, I’m not afraid of you. Today, I will demand justice for myself at any cost.”

Aware of the crowd watching, Desi turned to Erica and used a harsh and condemning tone to undermine and tarnish Erica’s reputation: “You are a despicable third party, ruining the relationship between me and Ansel. Women like you have no integrity. You are a sly fox, stealing other people’s men. People like you will never have good outcomes.”

Erica was a bit taken aback by Desi’s rude behavior. She considered speaking up to defend herself, but Ansel intervened first.

“Desi Scott, kindly mind your language!” Ansel exclaimed with anger, his gaze piercing her, causing Desi to recoil in apprehension. The others felt uneasy about Desi’s reckless actions and feared that Ansel would deal with her in the cruelest way possible. As for Erica, she looked at Ansel with a strange expression. Ansel was protecting her, and this made Erica very happy and grateful.

“You’re threatening and shouting at me because of her. Ansel, you’re going too far,” Desi retorted without thinking, still defiant as ever.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“If you say one more bad word about Erica, I will make you pay dearly,” Ansel warned sternly. He was in his demonic state.

“Don’t think I’m afraid of you,” Desi challenged bravely. “I’ll say what I want; what can you do to me?”

She thought the crowd would stand by her and help her deal with Ansel. Many knew Ansel to be a friendly and easygoing person. But when he got angry, Ansel turned into a ferocious beast, looking very intimidating. Desi knew this but still kept provoking Ansel. Desi was truly foolish.

Without saying a word, Ansel menacingly approached Desi. His demeanor was threatening, and everyone worried for Desi’s safety. When no one in the crowd dared to step forward to stop Ansel, Desi began to tremble with fear. Everyone assumed that Desi was in big trouble, and Desi thought so too. However, before Ansel could lay a hand on Desi, Erica spoke up:

“Ansel, please calm down. It’s not worth it. Let’s handle this slowly.”

Feeling Erica’s hand on his arm, Ansel suddenly snapped out of it. He stopped in his tracks and no longer advanced toward Desi.

“I’m sorry, Erica. I lost control.” Ansel turned to look at Erica and spoke gently. The sudden change in his demeanor surprised everyone. Erica must have had some kind of attraction and the ability to control Ansel.

Erica smiled, and Ansel nodded in agreement. Desi felt even more hatred towards Erica, seeing that she could influence Ansel’s mood. She glared at Erica fiercely.

Not bothering with the fake reactions of Desi and others, Ansel calmly asked, “Desi Scott, do you want to know why I chose Erica over you?”

“You don’t have a legitimate reason. Everything you say is just an excuse for your wrongdoing,” Desi asserted, once again speaking without thinking. “You’re a traitor.”

“Ansel isn’t…” Erica intended to speak up in defense of him, but Ansel acted quickly to stop her by tightening his grip on her hand, causing her to pause in her sentence. Erica looked at Ansel, feeling uncertain, but he signaled for her to remain silent and not interfere. Trusting Ansel, Erica decided to listen to him and maintain the necessary silence rather than ruin Ansel’s plans.

“If you insist on holding such a viewpoint, I will tell you the reason,” Ansel calmly stated. He then addressed the crowd, saying, “I’m sure everyone here is curious to know.”

Ansel glanced around at the audience surrounding him, then paused and looked directly at Desi as he made his declaration: “Dear attendees, the reason I refused Desi Scott as my wife is that she is not worthy.”

As soon as Ansel finished speaking, a wave of fierce reactions erupted. They came from the Scott family and Desi’s friends.

“Ansel Brown, you are way out of line.” Desi’s father couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “How dare you insult my daughter like that?” Who do you think you are? If you continue to speak of my daughter without thinking, you will have to deal with me and the Scott family.”

Ansel remained unafraid, despite the hostility emanating from Desi’s father. He continued to speak confidently:

“As for why she’s unworthy, I have no qualms about revealing the truth.”

Ansel’s statement received an enthusiastic response from the crowd. Everyone was curious to know more about Desi.

“Go ahead and tell us,” a voice said curiously.

“Yes, please,” another voice chimed in.

“Dear Desi, do you want me to reveal the truth or not?” Ansel asked while looking at Desi with an air of arrogance. “I’m asking you because I respect your personal freedom. I’m a gracious person, even though you haven’t been gracious to me.”

“What? Who are you to insult me like that?” Desi angrily challenged, “Say it out loud if you have something to say. Let everyone here know what kind of liar and wretched person you are.”

Desi was no longer afraid and refused to back down. So don’t blame Ansel for being resolute and uncompromising.

“You are a…”

Just as Ansel was about to say something to refute her, he heard his mother’s shrill voice.

“Oh, my husband, are you okay?” Anxious and fearful, Ansel’s mother broke the tension: “Someone please call an ambulance, hurry!”

Immediately, all eyes turned to the CEO of JK Corporation. The assistant quickly pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance.

Seeing his father fainting and lying on the floor, Ansel felt scared. Ignoring Desi, he ran toward his father, but Erica was faster than him.

Erica rushed over, intending to touch Ansel’s father to assess his condition and provide assistance, but Ansel’s mother intervened and prevented her from doing so. Ansel’s mother went as far as scolding Erica, firmly stating, “Do not touch my husband.”

“I just want to help,” Erica explained.

“Help with what? What can you do? Who do you think you are?” Ansel’s mother spoke with an annoyed tone. It was clear that she didn’t like Erica.

Erica looked confused and worried about the negative reaction from Ansel’s mother. She felt hesitant, not knowing what to do. Partly due to her professional ethics and partly because she didn’t want to offend Ansel’s mother.

“Why are you still standing there? Please move to another place.” Ansel’s mother sternly shooed Erica away. Her reaction pleased many people, especially Desi’s family, who were silently laughing to themselves.

“I’m sorry. I just wanted to help. Please let me…” Erica replied that instead of following Ansel’s mother’s orders, she immediately approached Ansel’s father.

“I don’t want you to touch my husband! He doesn’t need help from someone like you!” Ansel’s mother scolded Erica. However, Erica didn’t care about her words.

Before she could continue with her criticism of Erica, Ansel spoke up to defend her.

“Mom, Erica is a doctor; she can help. Please let her do her job,” Ansel said in a serious tone.

“What? Erica is a doctor?” Everyone seemed skeptical, including Ansel’s mother. The woman looked at her son, noticed his determined expression, and began to waver in her trust.

Ignoring everyone’s attitude, Ansel turned to Erica and pleaded, “Erica, please save my dad. I trust you.”

With Ansel’s permission, Erica nodded and began her work.
