C4 Protect and Stand up for Him!

"Look, Mo Ya really showed up. Wow, did she actually get involved with Director Mo? How lucky can she get? I thought she was already out of the picture, but now she's with Director Mo."

"Yeah, her luck is unbelievable. But what does it matter? She'll always be the other woman. The Yem family would never accept someone like her as a daughter-in-law."

"True, the Yem family would never want a daughter-in-law with a questionable past. I heard Director Mo's fiancée is coming back."

"Yeah, I heard that too. She's the heiress of Wanhai Aviation, no comparison to Mo Ya. When she returns, there will definitely be some drama. Oh, look, the Ann family is here. The ex-wife and ex-husband are about to meet. Do you think they'll cause a scene?"

Conversations like these were everywhere. Even though Mo Ya had anticipated it, hearing such mockery and gossip still stung. When Yem Mohan was around, no one dared to speak openly. But as soon as he left her side, the whispers reached her ears without restraint.

As for the talk about Yem Mohan's fiancée, she was well aware. But she also knew that in their arrangement, Mohan would help her uncover the truth about the assault she suffered, and in return, she was to make the Wanhai heiress call off the engagement.

So, this gossip was nothing to fear for Mo Ya. She had been timid and weak, but life had pushed her to this point. Without change, her weakness would crush her again. Especially with such a powerful man involved, she couldn't afford to remain passive.

And now, her ex-husband Ann Jie was approaching with her sister, Mo Lan. She was already drawn into this battle. Avoiding it was not an option, so she might as well face it head-on. Her battle was about to begin.

"Hey sis, long time no see! Why haven't you been home in so long? Dad really misses you."

Mo Lan, Mo Ya's half-sister, was the daughter of Mo Ya's stepmother, who entered the family just two months after Mo Ya's mother passed away. Now, she had taken Mo Ya's place as Ann Jie's girlfriend. The alliance between the Ann family and the Mo family was still intact. From start to finish, Mo Ya felt like she was the only one sacrificed in this arrangement. So, to think they hadn't hidden anything from her was simply impossible.

Mo Ya took a deep breath, lifted her head, and smiled, no longer afraid of the two of them. Gone was her usual timidity and fear; for the first time, she felt incredibly resolute. She had support now, so what was there to fear?

"Miss Mo, you must be mistaken. Mr. Mo publicly disowned me a month ago, and the court even issued a certificate. So, Miss Mo, you shouldn't call me 'sister' so casually."

"Mo Ya, where are your manners? Who gave you the nerve to speak like that?" Ann Jie suddenly interjected. He couldn't believe that the woman he discarded was now living a much better life without him, and her entire demeanor had changed. How could a woman, whom he considered tainted, possibly be doing better than when she was with him? He wouldn't allow it, absolutely not.

"And who gave you the nerve to yell at my woman like that?"
