Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Sabina had always been close to Leilani, but as she watched her brazen behavior, her brow furrowed. "Leilani Wood, do you realize what you're doing?" she warned."I know exactly what I'm doing. What's more, I'm onto all of you."Leilani spun and grinned at the man behind her. "Uncle, you were right. This lady is a cop!"Uncle?The word hung in the air, leaving everyone puzzled except for Zyra, who blinked in surprise and asked, "He's your uncle?""Bet you didn't see that coming. I'm one of the village folks, too." Leilani smoothed her hair back with a smug smile. "Good thing my uncle is smart. He figured there might be a cop hiding among us, so he had me pose as a college girl who'd been snatched. Otherwise, we would've never sniffed out the police officer."Pretending all this time had worn Leilani out. She would not have put up with this charade if her uncle had not promised her Colt's hand in marriage once everything was settled.The memory of that harsh slap across her face

"Mr. Wood is quite boastful! Let's wait and see who'll take down who."Out of the corner of her eye, Yaslyn spotted a group of muscular men in black emerging stealthily from the shadows."Grab them!" she commanded.The men in black sprang into action and charged toward the unsuspecting crowd.Ralph's face turned pale as he realized Yaslyn was not alone. "H—How on earth did they find us?" he stammered.Yaslyn smirked. "Bad luck for you, I dropped a pin on my way here. It's been days, so they're bound to show up."The newcomers were a formidable bunch, towering and outnumbering Ralph's group.Seeing the odds stacked against him, Ralph's bravado crumbled. "It's all a big misunderstanding!" he begged. "We were just coming to see you off!"Zyra snickered at the feeble attempt at deception.Yaslyn arched an eyebrow. "If you're here to see us off, where's the parting gift?"Frantically, Ralph patted himself down and reluctantly handed over a few crumpled bills. "Will this do? That's

"Yeah. I've been dodging marriage because I've been carrying a torch for someone. But seeing her happy now, I've let go of any other hopes."Xoan immediately realized what Colt truly meant."You're talking about Zyra, aren't you?""Since you've all figured it out, I'm not worried about being your inside joke or something. I've been secretly in love with her for a decade."Colt's voice was steady, but the pain behind his words was palpable. With 10 years of unspoken love, his heart was bound to be heavy when he saw her with another guy.Xoan stayed quiet for a long stretch, eventually choosing to keep his thoughts to himself. He could not exactly push his friend to go after someone else's girl.Zyra was with Tyler, and even Marcus had not been able to change that. What chance did Colt have?"You can't just settle, though, marrying someone you don't love." That was as far as Xoan could say.Colt just smiled and shook his head. "I'm at peace with it. I'm ready for whatever comes."

"Mrs. Stone, we've missed you," the clerk cooed and ushered her in with a practiced smile."We've got some new pieces that seem just your size, so I've set them aside for you."It made sense for the clerk to fuss over Shylah, a loyal patron. However, as the clerk fawned over Shylah, Zyra trailed behind, forgotten.The clerk was not intentionally being snobbish; it was just that even a hotshot celebrity like Zyra could not compare to the elite socialites with their old money and status.Shylah's expression darkened when she noticed the clerk giving Zyra the frosty treatment."I'm not here for myself today," she said firmly. "I'm here to find some chic outfits for my future daughter-in-law."The words 'future daughter-in-law' were like magic. The clerk, who was indifferent to Zyra, suddenly could not be more attentive. "Oh, Ms. Stewart! Welcome, welcome! You're looking to buy some clothes, right? Let me get your measurements."Zyra had felt the sting of neglect, but she shrugged i

Just when one drama seemed to be dying down, another flared up. Zyra's previous debacle was still unresolved when a new video hit the trending charts.The footage, taken from an odd angle, showed Zyra lambasting a girl at a boutique. The girl looked miserable as well.The video spread like wildfire, stirring up a storm of reactions.[I can't believe Zyra could be like that.][She always seemed so sweet and innocent. Who knew she had such a dark side?][Could a kind-hearted girl even utter such despicable things?][It's all fake, just a facade.][I'm done with her. I'm unfollowing her right now.]…Zyra had not seen the recording coming and was agitated. She rushed into the office where Yaslyn was poring over some documents.Seeing Zyra's flustered entrance, Yaslyn sighed. "Why the panic?""Did you catch that news story today? That girl was totally trying to pin the blame on me!" Zyra fumed, shocked that the girl had been scheming against her."Well, if she's playing that ga
