Chapter 10
In a flash, Jocelyn’s smug face popped into his mind.
If the hidden camera could be explained away, this video was smoking–gun proof of her betrayal!
He had no clue how to explain this to his father. No way to silence the judgments echoing through the wedding hall.
A tidal wave of emotions crashed over him as he ended the call.
Then dialed Jocelyn directly.
“Lorian, finally calling me back?” Her voice dripped with false sweetness.
“The wedding video–you played it, didn’t you?”
Jocelyn giggled, sounding pleased with herself.
“Well, yeah! I saw you chickening out, so I gave you a little push. You’ve been planning this for six whole years–no turning back now. I did it for your own good.”
Rage surged through him, making his entire body shake.
“I TOLD you, Lancelot family business is NOT yours to mess with!”
“Even if revenge was needed, that was between me and Sylvia. Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to decide what’s ‘for my own good‘? This was never about helping me–this was all
about you!”
“I know exactly what you said to Sylvia that night. I didn’t call you out then to spare your precious feelings. Since you’ve decided to throw away any decency, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
He hung up and immediately texted his assistant.
Within a week, the Collins family would be completely bankrupt.
Just as he powered off his phone, his father and Sylvia’s mother walked in.
He dropped to his knees before them, slapping himself repeatedly across the face until his cheeks burned.
“I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. I’m the one who destroyed Sylvia.”
“I thought… I believed Auntie had come between you and Mom. I… never meant for this to happen.”
