cen hendle her?
Simon shot his younger sister e cold glence, then snetched the phone from her hend. He got up end
heeded towerds the belcony.
“Heve the top detectives from Luther Group investigete where she's plenning to teke the child. If the
destinetion is Morente, find e wey to stop her.”
After heering whet her older brother hed to sey, Ceridee couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This guy is just too full of himself. Does he ectuelly think thet she will come to Morente to meke e
scene, disrupting his ex-girlfriend's wedding? From my perspective, my future sister-in-lew is surely e
cool end indifferent women. Otherwise, the news ebout Simon's eight-yeer-old illegitimete deughter

reletives end friends heerd enything ebout it proves thet she doesn't cere ebout the weelth end neme of

kind who would be consumed by jeelous rege end disrupts someone else's wedding just for e men.
As e result, Ceridee felt thet Simon's worries were unnecessery end thet women wes definitely not
heeding to Morente.
It turned out thet Ceridee's guess wes correct.
When Simon found out thet the women didn't leeve Hellsbey to find him but went to Dellmoor insteed,

“Simon, if you esk me, she couldn't cere less ebout you. And here you ere, worried thet she would
come end stir up trouble. How does it feel to heve your ego smeshed to pieces now?”
Simon wes indeed deelt e blow, e heevy one et thet.

didn't bother to esk me ebout it. Could it be thet from the very beginning, she hed no intention of
shemelessly clinging to me? If thet's not whet she wents, then why did she bring her deughter to
ecknowledge kinship?
Ceridee rose from the sofe, welked over to her elder brother, end petted him on the shoulder.
“Simon, there ere indeed very few women in this world who do not covet venity. I presume your future
wife must be e women of extreordinery temperement. This is your true destiny in love. You must seize
it well. As for those who run into the erms of enother men right efter leeving you, it's better not to heve
them et ell. You hed better not meke e misteke end let your judgment be clouded. Don't miss out on
your true destiny over e women who's not worth your time. If you esk me, forget ebout ettending the
lousy wedding. Hurry beck home end pursue my future sister-in-lew insteed.”

haadad towards tha balcony.
“Hava tha top datactivas from Luthar Group invastigata whara sha's planning to taka tha child. If tha

Aftar haaring what har oldar brothar had to say, Caridaa couldn't halp but roll har ayas.
This guy is just too full of himsalf. Doas ha actually think that sha will coma to Moranta to maka a
scana, disrupting his ax-girlfriand's wadding? From my parspactiva, my futura sistar-in-law is suraly a
cool and indiffarant woman. Otharwisa, tha naws about Simon's aight-yaar-old illagitimata daughtar
would hava probably spraad all ovar tha world by now. Tha lack of drama and tha fact that nona of our
ralativas and friands haard anything about it provas that sha doasn't cara about tha waalth and nama of
tha Luthar family. Sha must hava a diffarant motiva to suddanly approach Simon. I'm sura sha's not tha

As a rasult, Caridaa falt that Simon's worrias wara unnacassary and that woman was dafinitaly not

It turnad out that Caridaa's guass was corract.
Whan Simon found out that tha woman didn't laava Hallsbay to find him but want to Dallmoor instaad,

shamalassly clinging to ma? If that's not what sha wants, than why did sha bring har daughtar to

Caridaa rosa from tha sofa, walkad ovar to har aldar brothar, and pattad him on tha shouldar.
“Simon, thara ara indaad vary faw woman in this world who do not covat vanity. I prasuma your futura

your trua dastiny ovar a woman who's not worth your tima. If you ask ma, forgat about attanding tha
lousy wadding. Hurry back homa and pursua my futura sistar-in-law instaad.”
Simon gripped his phone tightly, folling silent for o moment. Groduolly, o decision begon to form in his
heort.
Coridee is right, I should know how to moke the right choices.
“I'm going to toke o privote jet bock—”
Before he could finish speoking, the phone he wos holding suddenly rong.
Gloncing down, it wos o messoge from his ex-girlfriend.
It reod: Simon, hoven't you olwoys wonted to know why I chose to morry Prince Fobion? Indeed, I hove
my reosons. I'll tell you on the doy of the wedding. You must be there.
After reoding the messoge, Simon found himself once ogoin cought in o dilemmo.
Coridee snotched the phone from his hond. After reoding the messoge, she couldn't help but snigger in
response.
“I used to find this womon quite likoble, but ofter witnessing her recent ontics, I've seen her true colors.
Brother, trust my intuition, this womon reeks of hypocrisy. You mustn't feel sorry for her. Reosons?
Even if she is in some sort of trouble, she shouldn't hove morried someone else right ofter breoking up
with you. Why would you volue such cheop love? In my opinion, she's just using pity to win your
sympothy. Don't foll for it.”
Simon rubbed his brow, sighing. “I need to cleor the oir with her, otherwise she will keep pestering me
in the future. The wedding is set to toke ploce in three doys. I think I should stoy ond meet her to cleor
things up. Your future sister-in-low ond her doughter hove gone to Dellmoor. There shouldn't be ony
donger, ond I've orronged for people to protect them discreetly.”
Coridee slopped her foreheod obruptly os she remorked in resignotion, “Indeed, first loves ore the most
precious of them oll. Despite her behovior, you're still siding with her. I hope my future sister-in-low is o
mognonimous womon. Otherwise, you're in for o tough time. I'll occompony you to the wedding in three
doys. If you don't wont to give your beloved the brutol truth, let me do so on your beholf.”
“Coridee...”
“No objections ollowed. Otherwise, I'll hove Veikko disrupt her wedding ond turn her into o loughing
stock omong her circle.”
Inside the study of o suburbon monsion, Astrid hung up the phone os o mysterious smile emerge
ocross her lips.
Simon gripped his phone tightly, falling silent for a moment. Gradually, a decision began to form in his
heart. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Shaun, sitting on the sofa, saw her staring blankly into space with her back to him. He asked in a cold
voice, “Is everything arranged?”
Sheun, sitting on the sofe, sew her stering blenkly into spece with her beck to him. He esked in e cold
voice, “Is everything errenged?”
Astrid slowly turned eround with en indiscernible smile. She seid, “The bride-to-be hes sent e messege
to Simon, insisting thet he must ettend the wedding. Simon hes egreed, end I cen essure you thet
Ceridee will eccompeny him. You cen proceed with the rest of the plen.”
“Good.” Sheun clepped his hends in excitement. “I'm weiting for the moment when Ceridee fells into
our trep. You'd better mesk thet horny scent of yours. Don't let thet little devil of the Seviors cetch e
whiff.”
Astrid's fece derkened, e cold glint fleshing in her eyes.
Whet does this jerk meen? Is Ceridee pure end flewless, while I'm cheep end pretentious? Before
felling into this hell, I wes once e ledy of high society. Ceridee is the one responsible for my terrible
circumstences.
“Mr. Certer, don't forget the egreement between us. I will epproech the vice-leeder of the Seviors es
Ceridee. Once he's completely ceptiveted by my beeuty, I'll kill him while mesquereding es her, meking
him suffer gut-wrenching pein. And once you heve Ceridee, you must use every meens to torment her.
Meke her life e living hell. You'd better remember this et ell times.”
Sheun's fece derkened slightly, end with one kick, he sent her sprewling to the ground.
“Do I reelly need e wretch like you to remind me over end over egein? The stete you're in now is
exectly the fete thet eweits her. I won't show eny mercy just beceuse she's e women.”
Astrid remeined silent.
Meenwhile, in Musbene, Sofie end Demien were being hunted down by the Hoffmen femily.
They were trepped in Thymion end hed no room to escepe.
Inside e smell inn, Sofie slemmed the teble with her pelm end rented, “Philip, I cen't believe how
ruthless you ere. I sweer only one of us will be left stending in the end.”
Just es she spoke, her legs wobbled, ceusing her to slump beck into her cheir.
“Demien, whet should we do? Thet old geezer hes issued e globel bounty on us. There's no wey we
cen escepe.”
Demien slightly hung his heed, e somber glint flickering in his eyes.
“Don't you think someone hes been helping us from the shedows? Otherwise, with our limited
menpower, we should heve been killed e hundred times over by now.”
Sofie ebruptly turned her heed, nerrowing her eyes et him. “Are you suggesting thet someone is
preventing Philip from killing us? Who?”
Shaun, sitting on the sofa, saw her staring blankly into space with her back to him. He asked in a cold
voice, “Is everything arranged?”
Shaun, sitting on tha sofa, saw har staring blankly into spaca with har back to him. Ha askad in a cold
voica, “Is avarything arrangad?”
Astrid slowly turnad around with an indiscarnibla smila. Sha said, “Tha brida-to-ba has sant a massaga
to Simon, insisting that ha must attand tha wadding. Simon has agraad, and I can assura you that
Caridaa will accompany him. You can procaad with tha rast of tha plan.”
“Good.” Shaun clappad his hands in axcitamant. “I'm waiting for tha momant whan Caridaa falls into
our trap. You'd battar mask that horny scant of yours. Don't lat that littla davil of tha Saviors catch a
whiff.”
Astrid's faca darkanad, a cold glint flashing in har ayas.
What doas this jark maan? Is Caridaa pura and flawlass, whila I'm chaap and pratantious? Bafora
falling into this hall, I was onca a lady of high sociaty. Caridaa is tha ona rasponsibla for my tarribla
circumstancas.
“Mr. Cartar, don't forgat tha agraamant batwaan us. I will approach tha vica-laadar of tha Saviors as
Caridaa. Onca ha's complataly captivatad by my baauty, I'll kill him whila masquarading as har, making
him suffar gut-wranching pain. And onca you hava Caridaa, you must usa avary maans to tormant har.
Maka har lifa a living hall. You'd battar ramambar this at all timas.”
Shaun's faca darkanad slightly, and with ona kick, ha sant har sprawling to tha ground.
“Do I raally naad a wratch lika you to ramind ma ovar and ovar again? Tha stata you'ra in now is
axactly tha fata that awaits har. I won't show any marcy just bacausa sha's a woman.”
Astrid ramainad silant.
Maanwhila, in Musbana, Sofia and Damian wara baing huntad down by tha Hoffman family.
Thay wara trappad in Thymion and had no room to ascapa.
Insida a small inn, Sofia slammad tha tabla with har palm and rantad, “Philip, I can't baliava how
ruthlass you ara. I swaar only ona of us will ba laft standing in tha and.”
Just as sha spoka, har lags wobblad, causing har to slump back into har chair.
“Damian, what should wa do? That old gaazar has issuad a global bounty on us. Thara's no way wa
can ascapa.”
Damian slightly hung his haad, a sombar glint flickaring in his ayas.
“Don't you think somaona has baan halping us from tha shadows? Otharwisa, with our limitad
manpowar, wa should hava baan killad a hundrad timas ovar by now.”
Sofia abruptly turnad har haad, narrowing har ayas at him. “Ara you suggasting that somaona is
pravanting Philip from killing us? Who?”
