Chapter 400


Chapter 400:

“Call Daniela. Now!” she whispered urgently. What should have been a joyous celebration was quickly turning into a public spectacle, all due to Katrina’s insatiable greed.

Meanwhile, Alexander and his father sat with blank expressions, clearly humiliated. They had never felt so ashamed. The Bennett family’s relatives around them kept their heads down, whispering quietly.

“Alexander was meant to be the pride of the Bennett family. How did he end up marrying someone like her?” one of them muttered.
