News of the impending union between the Dillion and the Salter families spread like wildfire.

Everything that had transpired at the engagement party was hushed up by the Salter family, but there were still those in the know who were gleefully spreading rumors within their social circles.

Accusations of deceit and even rape were being bandied about.

Carla had tried to visit him a few times, but William had refused to see her. On her last attempt, he finally agreed to meet her.

Carla looked at William’s sunken eyes and clenched her fists instinctively.
