Paige gave Giselle's hands a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry. You're the only one I'll accept as Leo's wife."

After years of pining for Leo, Giselle had long outgrown the blushing schoolgirl routine.

Their eyes met, and Giselle felt a surge of determination.

In her mind, Caroline only dared to attack her because she was the Ashbourne Group's heiress, untouchable and above

consequences.

After that birthday party, Giselle had become the laughingstock of their social circle.

She'd never been so humiliated in her entire life.
