Todos los capítulos de The Bet Called True Love: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

In the month leading up to my engagement preparations, scandal broke when tabloid magazines exposed Autumn’s relationship with a popular male actor, Seth Price. I took the intimate paparazzi photos to Autumn and demanded an explanation, but she only gave them a passing glance.She said nonchalantly, “It’s just ordinary gossip. What’s there to make a fuss about? What kind of man are you? You’re so narrow-minded.” After that, she slammed the door and walked away.Those words sent a chill down my spine. Nothing could hurt me, but she could. I began to doubt myself, wondering if I hadn’t given her enough companionship and love. For that reason, I took two days off work and, as a pampered man since childhood, learned how to cook for a woman. If the high society back home saw this, they would surely think it was a joke.The food was heated up again and again. At dawn, she finally returned home.I stood up and stepped forward to take her bag. However, I caught a whiff of a man’s perfu

Autumn didn’t accept it right away. Instead, she looked at me with disbelief.Then, she sneered. “Mark, don’t you regret this. Next time you want to marry me, it won’t be as simple as just getting down on your knees.”Seth, standing beside her, strode forward and snatched the ring from me.“So now you’re playing hard to get? Autumn has shown me the security footage of you begging her to marry you. A spineless coward like you trying to make yourself seem tough, huh? Too bad you’re worth nothing without Autumn!”Security footage?My heart skipped a beat. As it turned out, the love I once gave without reservation had become nothing more than a joke to her.Autumn stepped forward and sneered. “Canceling the engagement is fine, but don’t even think about taking anything with you. I’m officially announcing that you’re fired from Sky Group. Also, I’ll tell you one more thing…”Autumn leaned in and whispered something softly in my ear. When I heard that, I looked up at her suddenly, my

Seth was so flustered that he could barely form a coherent sentence. “A-Autumn, the shareholders on the board… they’ve all pulled their funding!”Autumn’s mind went blank. Her company was currently in its growth phase, with incredibly bright prospects. Why on earth would the shareholders suddenly pull out?Seth’s face was filled with dread. “The Sullivan Group bought up all the board’s shares! On top of that, they leaked news that we’ve been committing tax evasion!”At first, Autumn was shocked. Then, as if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed onto the floor.“It’s him… It must be Mark…”Seth was bewildered. “Who are you talking about? Mark, that freeloading gold-digger? Is this a joke? What kind of big shot does Mark think he is? How could he possibly have the means to pull something like this off?”Exhausted, Autumn handed her phone over to Seth, who glanced at the top trending headline on social media, and his eyes widened in shock. “How could Mark be the heir to

I raised an eyebrow.My ex-lover? She sure had the nerve to come looking for me. My expression turned grim as I flatly refused, “I won’t see her.”Beside me, Olivia overheard the conversation and frowned as she said, “Is that your true love here for you? When she dumped you back then, she told you never to go back. Well, she sure can’t keep her word.”The butler looked deeply embarrassed. “Ms. Sullivan, that woman says if Mr. Dunn refuses to see her, she’ll stay waiting outside.”Olivia gasped in shock. “What? How could she?”Then, she turned to me and smirked. “Oh well, I suppose your taste in women was always mediocre. I’ll leave you to clean up this mess. I trust you can handle it.”With that, Olivia decided she wouldn’t interfere in my affairs anymore and walked away.After a moment’s hesitation, I decided to set the record straight with Autumn. Then, we’d go our separate ways. When Autumn was led inside, her face no longer had the same glow it once did. Her cheeks were
