The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 96: Getting to Know You Better
The feeling of suffocation terrified Vivian. She thrashed against him, her glasses clattering to the floor.Grant leaned in, voice dropping low. "Vivian. Even now, even in this state, you still had the nerve to push me toward hurting Nora. How dare you."Oxygen deprivation drained the color from her face. She clawed uselessly at his arm. "Let go let go"Grant stared her down, each word landing with lethal weight. "I do want her. I'm not denying that. But I refuse to be your puppet in getting her back. If I actually did what you're suggesting, she'd hate me even more completely than she already does. There'd be nothing left between us to salvage. We'd be finished for good."Her hands, which had been fighting him, began to slacken, strength draining fast. Grant showed no sign of letting up."How did I never see how vicious you actually are? If it weren't for you, Nora and I wouldn't be in this wreckage right now. This is on you, Vivian. All of it."His grip tightened further, eyes blood

Grant's eyes went instantly cold, fingers curling tight enough that the veins along the back of his hand stood out sharp.He'd known full well Nora wouldn't give him a warm reception. He'd braced for it ahead of time. None of that stopped the fury from flooding through him the second her palm actually connected.He stared at her, disgust thick in his voice. "Nora. Do you really hate me this much?"Nora had never been a woman of half-measures not in love, and certainly not in hate. When she'd loved Grant, it had consumed her completely. Now that she hated him, the feeling ran just as deep, just as total.There was no version of kindness left for him to access, no amount of remorse capable of softening her.I won't betray the version of myself that spent three years absorbing what he did to her."Yes. That's exactly how much I hate you. You're worse than something I'd scrape off my shoe, Grant. I feel sick just looking at you. So do us both a favor and get out of my sight. Permanently,
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 94: Don't Touch Me With Those Hands
Nora looked at Weston in surprise, his hand frozen awkwardly midair unable to complete the gesture, unable to withdraw it either."Mr. Blackwood," she said, confused. "What exactly is this?"A short distance behind him, Nash fought back a laugh. What could the Second Master possibly be thinking right now? Jealousy, obviously.Weston's possessive streak was well documented at this point of course he couldn't stomach someone else touching Nora's hand in front of him. Not even a handshake.Weston, entirely unbothered, pressed forward smoothly. "Ms. Amanda. You're really choosing someone else this easily? No interest in reconsidering me instead?"Their eyes locked, and Nora's brow creased slightly.Has he developed a taste for theatrics?Fine. Two could play that game and Nora's performance skills were nothing to scoff at.She yanked her hand free and let her mouth curl into contempt. "Not a chance. What possible good could come from someone who keeps company with Grant Pierce?"Something
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 93: Being Deceived
The gentle weight of that sentence stirred something unexpected in Nora's chest.Over the years, she'd weathered more than most people could imagine, and not once had anyone thought to ask whether it had been hard on her. She'd never even let herself sit with the question.And today, of all people, it's him who asks.Was it hard?Yes. Unbearably so, most days.I've fought for every inch of this.Her brow furrowed, something unfamiliar rising and threatening to spill over. She steadied herself, and when she pushed back against Weston this time, whatever mist had gathered in her eyes had already cleared.Composed again, gaze level, she was fully herself once more unshakeable."This is the road under my feet. I walk it no matter what it costs."Weston held her gaze, his calm exterior masking something aching underneath. He slid his hands into his pockets and smiled. "I know."---They parted ways in the parking lot. The moment Weston got into his car, he called Nash.He sat watching Nora
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 92: Weston Felt Sorry for Her
The crowd froze.Every eye turned toward Vivian as she walked forward with deliberate grace.Her sight had deteriorated significantly, thick glasses perched on her nose now. She held a microphone in one hand and waved a stack of printed documents overhead with the other.She reached the center of the stage and stopped, finger pointed directly at Nora. "This woman Nora Ashford is the illegitimate daughter of my father and our household's nanny. Her mother knew exactly what she was doing. She stole eighteen years of both our lives, deliberately, with full knowledge of what she was doing to this family.""Ten years ago, her biological mother was arrested and imprisoned. I'm asking all of you what right does a woman born from an affair, raised by a convicted criminal, have to stand on this stage and present herself as some kind of success story? This is an insult to every person in this room."Vivian scattered copies of Helen's prison records across the venue, alongside the paternity test
The Lie Behind His Devotion Chapter 91: Another Turmoil Erupts During the Centennial Celebration
Several days later.Weston's injuries had nearly fully healed. He stood in front of the French windows, fastening the last button on his shirt while Nash held out his suit jacket.Straightening his collar, Weston listened as Nash chattered beside him. "Second Master, word is Anchor Line Shipping is planning to sell off thirty percent of their stake in Harborcrest Docks. People in the industry are saying some painter-turned-businesswoman bit off more than she could chew switching into shipping. Honestly, it wouldn't be shocking if she couldn't make it work."Weston clipped on his sapphire cufflinks, mouth curving into something mocking. "A room full of idiots."Nash blinked. "How's that idiocy? If you ask me, Ms. Ashford did well just wrestling Harborcrest away from Grant Pierce in the first place. My guess is Kensington Bank's interest rate finally caught up with her overestimated what she could handle, and now she's boxed in. Should we step in and help her, Second Master?"Weston's m
