At once, Bryson’s eyes filled with heartache. He gathered Debbii gently into his arms, stroking her back as though she were the most fragile thing in the world.
When she finally calmed, his gaze snapped back to me, sharp and furious.
“Look at what you’ve done! Debbii nearly died because of you!”
I let out another cold laugh.
The moment Debbii’s eyes landed on me, she let out a sharp scream.
“Hedy, I’ll leave right now! Please don’t send anyone to kidnap me again! I swear I regret what I did…”
As she spoke, she made a motion to kneel before me, her pitiful act tugging at Bryson’s heart until he was beside himself.
But I only stared at them with a blank face, giving them nothing.
Finally, Bryson’s expression hardened completely.
“You still refuse to see the mistakes you’ve made, Hedy. Stay here in the ward. After the press conference, I’ll be reconsidering our marriage. My family has no need for such a cruel matriarch like you.”
Without another glance at me, he supported Debbii and walked out decisively.
And in the corner of the room, where he could not see, Debbii cast me a triumphant look.
Her lips moved silently, as if saying, “This time, I won.”
I didn’t even spare them a glance. I closed the door in their faces.
The next day, I set every instruction I had given earlier into motion.
There were three hours left until the press conference began. That was when the Lundebergs’ stock would start plummeting.
All the resources, projects, and partnerships I had once handed over to the Lundeberg Corporation—I would reclaim every last one of them.
And everything Bryson and Debbii had done to me, I would return to them in full!
Blocking both their numbers from my phone, I boarded the plane with Trevor.
Oh, I could not wait to see their downfall!
