Chapter 492: Together in the Open

After enduring hours of harsh criticism from various members of the Alvarez family,

Susan finally left with Hayden, her body and spirit utterly drained. What hurt her most was Hayden's silence throughout the ordeal. He hadn't uttered a single word in her defense.

This incident brought Susan a brutal clarity about Hayden's true nature. She realized that she should have left him long ago.

"Tomorrow, I'll hold a press conference. You'll attend with me," Susan said, her voice devoid of the pleading tone she once used when begging for scraps of Hayden's affection.

"What time?" he asked, his tone indifferent.
