Hua Luoluo Modern

“Clare woke up to a frozen bank account, a bankrupt family empire, and a suicide note from her father. To save her father from jumping off a skyscraper, she cornered New York's most ruthless billionaire, Edward Carlisle, with a fake pregnancy test. "I'm carrying your child." She bet everything on a brief encounter from a yacht party weeks ago, hoping to force him into a marriage that would save her family. But instead of offering a ring, the cold-blooded tycoon dragged her straight to a clinic to forcefully terminate the "problem." Even after seeing through her desperate lie, Edward didn't let her go. He forced her into a humiliating contract marriage just to destroy his grandfather's arranged match. He paid off a fraction of her family's billion-dollar debt-just enough to keep her on a tight leash, treating her like a cheap, disposable shield. She was paraded in front of high society, forced to publicly ruin his engagement, and stripped of every ounce of her dignity. She knew he planned to throw her away the second his family stopped pressuring him. Why should she just sit and wait to be discarded by this monster? Wiping her tears, Clare looked into the eyes of the man who thought he completely owned her. "Stop treating me like a liability." She refused to be his obedient pawn. Instead, she proposed a dangerous new alliance to help him destroy his own family-and the real transaction officially began.”
