Ashley quickly caught on . " Exactly ! I'm the only one here named Sterling , so what do you think ? " They didn't know that I had taken my mother's maiden name . My father's actual surname * is * Sterling . But these people were so convinced by Ashley , it was useless to argue . She wanted to impersonate me , right ? Then she only had herself to blame for what happened next . " Since you're all giving such a generous gift , and you're so close to ' Mrs.
Sterling , shouldn't you all be invited to Mr. Sterling's wedding ? " A few people looked expectantly at Ashley , waiting for her to speak . A forced smile appeared on her face . " How about you just give me the cash gifts directly ? You know , the Sterling family's banquet isn't ordinary . The number of guests and tables are all pre - arranged . So , here's what we'll do : I'll treat you all to dinner separately next time . " I scoffed loudly .

I couldn't wait to see their expressions when they saw * me * standing beside Julian Sterling as the bride . On the wedding day , I was resting in the bridal suite when the door suddenly burst open . Mr. Davies and Brenda stormed in . " Chloe ? You didn't even contribute to the gift , and you dare to show up ?! " I popped a snack into my mouth . " It's * my wedding .
If I don't show up , who's Julian Sterling going to marry ? " Mr. Davies sighed in exasperation . " Seriously , what did I do to deserve a delusional fangirl like you in my department ? " " Delusional ? Me ? Don't you want to take a good look at the wedding setup in the main hall ? … " " And she's even wearing a wedding gown ! If you're not delusional , who is ?! We've seen plenty of women like you , fantasizing about marrying Mr. Sterling ! " Brenda cut me off .

Wearing a wedding dress , trying to steal the spotlight … Are you trying to get our entire department fired ?! " twas about to say something when I saw Ashley walk in .

" Chapter 4 " Ma'am , we didn't let her go out . The VIPs outside haven't seen her . Please , please , don't tell Mr. Sterling . " Ashley crossed her arms , scanning me up and down . " Chloe , I knew you were always trying to compete with me . Turns out you were eyeing my < Ashley crossed her arms , scanning me up and down . " Chloe , I knew you were always trying to compete with me . Turns out you were eyeing my husband all along ." I countered , " Ma'am , isn't it * your * wedding today ?
What , did Mr. Sterling and the Sterling family not prepare a couture gown for you ? " " I , I was just coming for my hair and makeup , wasn't I ? " Ashley stammered . " Everyone , come with me .

Especially you , Chloe , don't cause any more trouble here ." Ashley was clearly feeling guilty .
She was afraid things would get out of hand , so she wanted to get these people out of there quickly . " Since we're already here , why don't you go say hello to Mr. Sterling ? " I asked .

Ma'am , we can't let her walk out dressed like this . How about we just strip her of that wedding dress ? " Brenda suggested .
" You wouldn't dare . " " What wouldn't I dare do ?! If Mr. Sterling sees this , our entire department will be in big trouble ! " Brenda said , then lunged at me , trying to pull off my headpiece .

Davies quickly covered my mouth , holding it shut . " Go ahead and scream ! Everyone here works for the lady . Who's going to help you ? You might as well just take off your clothes quietly !

Just then , the bridal suite door opened again .
" Ma'am , your … " Mrs. Miller saw the scene and dropped the tray she was carrying with a clatter . I saw my savior and screamed at her , " Mrs , Miller , tell them who the * real * Mrs. Sterling is ! " Brenda laughed . " Does she even need to ask ? I think you've lost your mind ! Mrs. Miller , this lowlife dared to wear a wedding dress and cause trouble . Just tell her who the * real * Mrs. Sterling is , and make her give up ! " " Exactly ! This person has been causing trouble for our Mrs.
