Sebastian was speaking the truth. If they hadn't started up that shitty arrangement, his wife was on her way to give the best speech ever recorded in the history of the Gala. âTheyâre afraid of you,â he continued, voice low and dangerous. âThey want to bring you down because they're afraid of you and your potential. But don't worry. I'll make them pay!âThere wasn't anything he did better than revenge!Kourtney didnât speak. She only nodded at the man, feeling the weight of his words settle deep inside her.

In a panicked haze, Brianna started to sweat, her hands trembling. She started counting her days.She feared not just for her job, but for her life.She just offended the wife of the man who was the most powerful citizen in all of Melbourne.She could feel her life hanging by a thread. âWhat have I done? This isnât good! How can I come back from this?âKourtney had seen that look on her face. âShe knowsâIâm done for!âSuddenly, Sebastian Woods, still holding Kourtney protectively, turned to the crowd. His gaze, sharp and piercing, swept over the room.âI have no tolerance for disrespect,â he announced his voice like a thunderstorm building on the horizon. âTo those who took part in humiliating my wife tonight, prepare for my vengeance!âThe hall went pale and a hush fell over the audience.âPREPARE FOR MY VENGEANCEâ The words echoed off the walls, the dominance in his tone sending chills down everyoneâs spine.He would not tolerate anyone speaking her name as if she were a simple mist

Kourtneyâs senses sharpened immediately.This couldn't possibly be just a technical mishap! The entire event had been going on smoothly for hours now. So why now?Why when she was on stage speaking?A rush of urgency pulled her attention back to Debbie Howard once more.She felt a bead of sweat trickle down her temples as she recalled the smirk plastered on Debbie's face. It was still lingering, still taunting. Was this part of her plot?What more was she plotting?

She could tell that they couldnât fathom why the most powerful man in the room would break his stoic persona for her.And with each sound of approval from the crowd, Kourtneyâs confidence began to swell, her earlier apprehensions replaced with a fiery determination. She turned toward her in-laws seated in the front rows.Grandpa Woods was on his feet as he supported his frail legs with his walking stick. Kourtney blushed. The Old Man had a sparkle of pride in his eyes, as if saying âThat's my talented Granddaughter-in-law.âApart from him, Edwin, his sister, Clara, and a few other Woods family members were upstanding in honor of her.However, the majority of them, including Sheila, her mother, and her sister still had that disdainful and envious looks on their faces.Nevertheless, the ovati
