Given that Cynthia was already pregnant, she and Theodore decided to go ahead with the wedding. However, on the eve of the wedding, she still had to come and provoke me one last time.

I was just out for a meal and never expected to run into something so disgusting.

After hearing her out, I calmly responded, "I've recorded this, and I'll send it to Theodore in a moment. If you don't leave right now, I'll break your legs."

After listening to the recording, Theodore exploded. He called me a homew

    "Even if our engagement hasn't been called off—let alone the fact that it has—what's mine isn't yours to covet. I'd advise you to get out while you can. Last time, it was your legs. This time, there's no guarantee what it'll be."The moment I brought up how I'd broken her legs last time, Cynthia flew into a rage."I haven't even settled that score with you, yet you had the nerve to bring it up? Gerard, your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, so how much longer do you think you can act so cocky?"Let me make this clear—today's your last chance. If you refuse to take this way out and marry me, you can look forward to your parents pimping you out to some rich old man as a bargaining chip."As soon as she finished speaking, I grabbed a nearby wine bottle and hurled it straight at her.Cynthia immediately let out a blood-curdling scream. Beside her, a terrified Theodore started shouting accusations at me.I ignored them and immediately had them thrown out.As she left, Cynthia po

Seeing that I was about to stumble, Jennifer instinctively reached out to steady me.At that exact moment, Cynthia rushed out of nowhere and slapped Jennifer hard across the face."Take your filthy hands off my man!"I hadn't expected such a scene. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and promptly had the bodyguards restrain her.Turning back to Jennifer, I saw blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth.Furious, I immediately arranged for Jennifer to be taken to the hospital. Then, I turned back to see Cynthia still thrashing about, so I strode over and slapped her ac

    Seeing the condition I was in, Mitch gritted his teeth and immediately agreed to my request.Soon after, my parents returned. However, along with them came Cynthia's parents, Harold Norton and Stella Klein, as well as Cynthia herself, who was carried in on a stretcher.My father, Russell Emerson, took one look at Cynthia and remarked with biting sarcasm, "Ms. Norton, Gerard may be unruly, but it was truly generous of you to take it upon yourself to discipline him."However, I wasn't aware that our family had died out to the point where we need you to step in."That single sentence sent Mr. and Mrs. Norton trembling.Over the years, our family's business had gradually expanded overseas. A significant portion of our assets had been moved abroad. This had led some locals to assume that our influence had weakened.Cynthia had taken advantage of that perception to act boldly and arrogantly. However, in the face of my parents, she was nothing more than a small fry.Unfortunately, she

    "No need to call for your butler. I've already had my people send him away," Cynthia added.My eyes widened in disbelief. I hadn't expected Cynthia to actually have the guts to do this.In the next moment, Rowena instructed someone to escort us out.I was taken to a villa on the outskirts owned by the Norton family, where I came face-to-face with Cynthia."Cynthia, do you know what you're doing? This is illegal confinement. Have you considered how you'll explain this to my parents?"”In just a few short years, Cynthia was no longer the timid girl who used to trail after me, pleading for resources.She now exuded the air of someone in power. With a mere wave of her hand, Theodore obediently nestled into her arms, like a plaything wrapped around her little finger.Upon hearing what I had said, Cynthia gave a dismissive laugh."What more is there to explain?
