The ballroom doors opened.

Bright stage lights poured down on Duncan, making him look almost like a prince stepping onto the stage.

At the far end of the aisle, Irene stood in a white wedding dress, gently extending her hand.

Everything seemed to be going perfectly.

Duncan could barely contain his excitement.

He lowered his voice and spoke toward the camera hidden on him.

"Leo, see this? Your assistant, your fans, even your wife. None of them I'm not you. All the things you're so proud of?

    Before his sentencing, Duncan had begged Matthew to help him.But Matthew didn't respond.If anything, he made things worse.He froze every account Duncan still had access to and took the money back. Without any financial support, Duncan couldn't even hire a defense lawyer.During his five-year sentence, Duncan spent his days writing letter after letter, cursing Matthew and wishing he'd die alone.Matthew seemed to believe that by abandoning Duncan, he could somehow win me back. He began calling me frequently, almost like he was reporting his achievements."Leo, I got revenge for you! It was all Duncan stirring up trouble before. That's why I kept making the wrong choices.

Your assistant, your fans, even your wife. None of them I'm not you. All the things you're so proud of? Turns out they're nothing special."I clenched my palm hard, forcing myself to stay conscious.I believed Irene would recognize the truth eventually.Until then, I couldn't pass out.Soon, Duncan reached the center of the stage, stopping beneath a ring of crystal flowers.According to the rehearsal, this was where the groom was supposed to take a photo with the fans.Suddenly, a glass flew onto the stage.It shattered right beside Duncan's feet. A shard sliced across the top of his foot,

    Even after the handcuffs snapped around their wrists, Samuel and Daphne still couldn't accept that everything had fallen apart."That fortune teller was right! It's that cursed beauty mark. You were born to destroy this family! I should've never spared you back then. I should've stayed and watched you die!" Samuel roared.The hatred in his eyes, the vicious curse in his voice.For a moment, it felt just like looking at my father.All the resentment and frustration I had been holding back surged up at once.I stepped forward, shielding Irene behind me."Oh, give it a rest," I said coldly. "Stop blaming everything on a beauty mark. You know exactly what you've done. Your downfall was only a matter of time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been fooled by something as simple as a little foundation.

Or does he have something on you? Just tell me. We can deal with it together."But Irene's frown only deepened. She tried to keep her composure, still carrying herself with quiet elegance."Sir, please calm down. My name is Irene Nelson. I'm Leo's fiancée."The cold, unfamiliar look in her eyes finally broke Duncan. "That's impossible!"Still refusing to give up, he pulled out his phone. He checked his messages and then his calls. Chelsea had completely disappeared. He couldn't find her contact or number anywhere.Suddenly, something seemed to occur to him. His eyes lit up."Chelsea, my parents will be here any minute.
