Chapter 30 Without the Wedding Ring


    Chapter 30 Without the Wedding Ring


    Ste froze and looked at Annie in confusion.


    With a sigh, Annie whispered, "Let me tell you the truth. Rumors have been circting throughout the


    "They''re also saying that the person who fought with Daniel yesterday was your husband! Everyone is


    describing it vividly, alleging that your husband engages in daily fights and brawls, having served


    multiple lengthy sentences and only recently being released."


    Ste was left speechless for a moment, unable to articte her mixed emotions of amusement and


    tears.


    Observing her silence, Annie grew even more astounded. "Ste, did you actually get married? Is your


    husband truly like that?"


    "Yes, I did get married," Ste admitted honestly. "And it''s true that my husband doesn''te from a


    respectable background."


    Annie took a step back, looking at her incredulously.


    "But he treats me very well." Ste''s voice was gentle, and each word carried weight.


    "I didn''t mention my marriage at first, not because I wanted to hide it from all of you. There was no


    need to hide it either. It''s just that none of you ever asked, and thepany doesn''t have any rules


    stating that married individuals can''t be employed, right?"


    Annie frowned. "That''s true, but-"


    "Anyway, my husband is a good person," Ste stated calmly. "Perhaps he used to get into fights and


    end up in prison before, but since we got married, he hasn''t engaged in any of those activities again.


    The past is behind us, and together we are moving forward into the present and future hand in hand."


    Annie smiled at her, acknowledging her courage. If she were in Ste''s shoes, she might not have


    possessed the same level of bravery.


    "To be honest, you have my admiration." Annie held Ste''s hand and suddenly noticed that nothing


    was adorning Ste''s fingers.


    "But why don''t you wear a wedding ring now that you''re married? Not having anything on your hand


    can lead to misunderstandings!"


    Ste was originally confused and then nced down at her hand. When she married Liam, it was a


    hastily arranged affair, and she did not have the extra funds to purchase wedding rings. Furthermore,


    there was no formal exchange of rings. They simply haphazardly tied the knot, and the idea of wearing


    rings did not receive much consideration back then.


    However, she suddenly remembered the ring he had given her in the sandalwood box.


    Lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly interrupted by a sharp voice. "Her husband spent half his life in


    prison. How could he possibly afford to buy her a ring!"


    Ste turned her head abruptly, spotting Ava approaching with a piercing gaze and a group of people in


    tow.


    "Listen up, everyone! Take a page from Ste''s book! Her husband may have a history of fights, prison


    time, smoking, drinking, and all sorts of vices, but that doesn''t change the fact that he''s a good man!


    Haha..." Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "That''s correct," someone added, "I heard her husband doesn''t even have a real job and simply


    mooches off her earnings!"


    "No wonder Ste works so hard. She even slept with every man to secure those contracts!" Ava


    clenched her teeth.


    Upon hearing that Liam had beaten up Daniel, she felt a mix of shock and anger. She knew the


    situation would not have escted if Daniel had not crossed the line.


    In the end, that despicable man, Daniel, had been deceiving her! He pretended to be submissive and


    obedient to her but was two-faced and still lusting after Ste behind her back!


    Nevertheless, Ava had to swallow her words and outwardly defend him but secretly harbored a burning


    desire to destroy Ste.


    "Ste." Ava sneered. "You''ve been working so hardtely. Is it to save money to buy a diamond ring?


    Ha, since your husband can''t afford it, you can find another man to buy one for you! After all, men are


    easily deceived by your charms. Getting contracts is as simple as opening your legs!"


    "Ava Brown!" Ste''s furious shout silenced theughing group in an instant.


    In silence, they watched her intently as a glint of murderous intent flickered in her eyes, sending shivers


    down their spines.


    They had never witnessed this fierce side of her before. She had always been known for her gentle and


    obedient nature.


    The group exchanged nces, and Ava curled her lips into a malicious smile, raising her chin defiantly


    as she asked, "What are you trying to do?"


    Ste trembled all over with her fists clenched tightly.


    She kept trying to reason with herself, reminding herself that this was the workce. Surveince


    cameras were watching, and she could not cause a scene.


    Ava''s words were meant to provoke her, and if she acted on her anger, she would be falling right into


    Ava''s trap!


    Taking a few deep breaths, she red at Ava and spoke with determination. "Ava, as a director, please


    be mindful of your words and actions. And as Daniel''s girlfriend, please manage your own man! My


    husband has warned that if Daniel dares to harass me again, he''ll be disabled!"


    "What? Are you threatening me?"


    "It''s not a threat." Ste smiled faintly. "I''ve juste to appreciate having a husband like him. He''s


    willing to do whatever it takes to protect me. Unlike some people who may appear righteous on the


    surface, their rtionship is merely a means to secure shares for certain individuals rted to


    someone in thepany!"


    "You-"


    In actuality, Ava was aware of Daniel''s ulterior motives in their rtionship. However, being exposed in


    front of so many people struck her nerve.
