No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Jennifer Lu was called back to the Lu's mansion on an emergency.

When she stepped into the living room, the TV was airing a report on the Gu Group. Jennifer Lu stopped and looked at the giant LCD screen.

"The elections for the current CEO of the Gu Group is about to begin. At present, Jason Gu, the head of the Gu Family, has not said much about the candidates. It is reported that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, Ryan Gu, is expected to win. The results will be known after the Gu Group's board meeting."

The mention of Ryan Gu made Jennifer Lu's heart tremble.

'He...'

"Miss Jennifer, why have you returned?" The servant's words interrupted Jennifer Lu's thoughts.

She usually would be on duty at the office at this time.

Jennifer Lu shook her head and smiled at the servant. "Where is my father?"

"Mr. Elliot and Mr. Gu are in the study now."

Jennifer Lu frowned slightly. "Which Mr. Gu?"

There were not that many people who had the surname Gu in the F City, let alone get near her father. There could only be one person...

"It is Mr. Jacob," the servant answered.

'Ah! I thought so.'

Jacob Gu was Ryan Gu's second uncle.

A sense of uneasiness suddenly rose up in Jennifer Lu's heart. Her father, Elliot Mo, must had called her back for a reason.

"I'll go up to my room and freshen up first," Jennifer Lu went upstairs after saying this.

When she passed through the study, Jennifer Lu stopped in front of the door and listened carefully.

"I can assure you that as long as you join hands with me, we will definitely be able to defeat Ryan and pull him out of the company. Even if Ryan is capable, it will be impossible for him to fight against the Gu Family and the Lu Family at the same time. If necessary, we can even make him disappear. It will be just like he's never existed."

It was Jacob Gu who said this.

Jennifer Lu's eyes widened. She was shocked. Jacob Gu was determined to get the Gu Family all to himself and even want to kill Ryan in the process.

She couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan Gu in danger.

Jennifer Lu tiptoed back to her room. When she got there, she took out her phone and dialed a number. "Can you help me contact Ryan? Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After changing her clothes, Jennifer Lu waited anxiously in her bedroom.

After a while, her phone rang.

"How is it going?" she asked.

An embarrassed voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Ryan, he... He doesn't want to see you."

Jennifer Lu didn't feel disappointed at this. She had expected it, but she still wanted to give it a shot.

Nevertheless, she had to see Ryan Gu today.

Jennifer Lu would never forget the bloody scene that greeted her eyes when she walked into the Gu's mansion. She didn't want it to happen to Ryan Gu.

Standing up suddenly, she rushed out of the bedroom. She had decided to go to the Gu Group to find Ryan Gu to talk to him about what was happening.

However, to Jennifer Lu's surprise, she happened to meet Elliot Mo and Jacob Gu when she rushed downstairs. They were sitting on the sofa and talking.

"Jen, you're back." Elliot Mo waved his hand, gesturing for Jennifer Lu to come to him.
