Chapter 300: Hurt

"On your wedding day, Ivan must have felt relieved that you were already married and quickly jumped ship," Briena added mockingly. "By that time, his company was stable, thanks to all your efforts, and he didn’t need to depend on Grandpa’s deal anymore. Moreover, by marrying me, Ivan knows he’ll eventually get control of the Ford Group through me. After all, Grandma dotes on me.
