My Ex's Stepmom Gave Me New York

Synopsis

Evelyn happened to stumble upon her husband Marcus and her cousin Ivy in the underground parking lot of their house. She rushed over to confront them, but Marcus pushed her to the ground forcefully and coldly told her: "You are just a commodity sent by the Howard family to settle debts. Three billion dollars. Your father took money from my family." Evelyn fell to the ground, with her elbow bleeding and her heart shattered. She didn't go back to the Howard family's house and instead went alone to a bar in Manhattan to drink. A drunk man harassed her and was hit by a bottle, which broke his head. The woman standing in front of her was wearing a black dress and had exquisite makeup, with an aura as sharp as a knife. She was named Vya Gregory, Marcus's stepmother, and the true powerholder of the Gregory family. That night, Vya took her back to the hotel. The next day, Vya led her to the Gregory estate and publicly played the surveillance video of Marcus and Ivy's affair, forcing Marcus to be speechless. She made Evelyn sign a divorce agreement and declared: "From today on, Evelyn belongs to me for protection." The heads of the five families came to her door because the bar she smashed was the property of the Russell family. Evelyn sat at the long table, listening to these people threatening her with the debts of the Howard family: If she signed the divorce agreement, the Howard family would triple the repayment, even her mother's medical fund would be reclaimed. Vya announced on the spot - the old contract was nullified, the debts were transferred to my personal name, Evelyn was no longer a collateral, she was my candidate for inheritance. Marcus and Ivy kidnapped Evelyn's mother in the nursing home while she was recovering. They threatened her to withdraw the divorce agreement. Evelyn didn't sign it. She picked up a pen and stabbed Marcus's hand back, saying: "If my mother loses a single hair, you and Ivy will be buried together." Vya directly sealed the entire New York Harbor, taking Evelyn with her to the old port in Brooklyn. A gunfight broke out, and Evelyn's mother pushed the medical bag in a coma, which contained a voice recorder - recording all the conversations of Marcus and Ivy's conspiracy to kidnap. The committee of the five families held a public hearing, demanding that Vya prove Evelyn's legal protection. Evelyn stood alone at the long table, with the most powerful people in New York sitting in front of her. She opened the folder and threw out pieces of evidence: three years of smuggling records of the Russell family, the flow of money from Marcus's embezzlement of family funds to Ivy's beauty company, the DNA report that Ivy was the illegitimate daughter of the Russell family planted in the Gregory family. Marcus burst into tears on the spot. At the committee meeting, Marcus publicly questioned Vya: "Did you sleep with my stepmother? Disgusting." Vya didn't deny it, but took Evelyn's hand and asked her in front of everyone: "This time, it's not a protection order, nor an heir candidate, it's me myself. Do you want it?" Evelyn asked her: "If one day I don't want to stand by your side, will you let me go?" Vya said: "Yes, but I will be very unhappy." Evelyn cried and smiled, saying: "Okay, I agree." They signed an open contract in front of the five families. Evelyn's name and Vya's name were officially listed alongside the Gregory family's in the Gregory family archives. Marcus was sentenced to twenty-five years, and Ivy twelve years. Samuel Russell was arrested by the FBI, and all thirty-seven gray lines under his name were frozen. Evelyn's father lost his company, estate, and all power. Outside the court, her father stopped her and said, "I'm your father." Evelyn only replied: "You sent me out to pay off debts. Now the debts are paid off, and so is our relationship. Then I turned and left." Three months later, Vya placed the official authorization letters for the East Harbor, West District, and Manhattan lines in front of her. She signed them. News from London came that the Russell family had another never-seen-in-public heir sending an invitation. Vya looked at the letter and said, "It might be trouble." Evelyn stood beside her and said, "Then let's go together." Once, she was sent and taken away; later, she was the unwanted woman in Marcus's eyes. Now, she is Vya's accomplice, heir, and partner. This time, it wasn't being taken away, but she chose to walk into the next storm herself.
