Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 38

Book 3- Chapter 2

Before the party ended, news of the Green family scandal had already shot to the top of the trending topics.

Having a child yet coming to deceive in marriage - this was enough to instantly shatter the good image the Green family had maintained for so many years. The Green family immediately announced the termination of all cooperation projects with the Parker family.

John was the sole heir to the Green Group, disabled, with his father gravely ill.

Rumors circulated that John Green avoided women and was homosexual, little knowing he already had a son with the gardener's daughter.

Given the Green family's social status and influence, he knew it would be impossible to give the gardener's daughter official recognition.

To cover this up and to truly become the head of the Green family, he colluded with Sofia to set me up.

As long as I married into the Green family, the Parker family's eldest son would receive financial support for the Green family's projects. John Green could also use me as a cover, allowing his real family of three to live happily.

Killing two birds with one stone. Perfect.

As for whether I lived or died, no one cared.

The guests dispersed.

My father, my husband from my previous life - Sebastian - slapped me hard several times.

"You money-losing trash! Arranging for you to marry John was doing you a favor! So what if he already has someone he loves?
