She Paid for Power

Audrey Chadwick offered her entire fortune to help Crown Prince Nicholas Harrington with disaster relief. In return, he promised she would be his only bride. But when he returned victorious, he stripped her of everything — her title, her rank, her future — and gave it all to her half-sister. She finally saw the truth and refused to stay quiet any longer. She stripped the estate bare, cut off the man who had wronged her, and helped her mother leave her husband. Then she offered ten thousand taels of gold to buy herself a place as Princess Gabriel. From then on, she built her own power — and swore that everyone who had wronged her would one day regret it.
