As the granddaughter of the wealthiest magnate in San Heith, Cynthia Shannon had been in a relationship with Joe Louise for three years, only to find her sincere affections spurned and left in the dust.
Joe regarded her as a simple rural woman, and on their wedding day, he abandoned her to pursue another dazzling beauty, leaving Cynthia heartbroken. But once she decisively ended the relationship, she reclaimed her status as a wealthy heiress, inheriting a fortune worth billions. Her life then ascended to its pinnacle, yet there were always scoundrels who emerged to vex her.
Amidst Cynthia's efforts to deal with these scoundrels, a certain Mr. Ford, known for inspiring dread in anyone who heard his name, stood by, applauding her with admiration. "My formidable wife," Mr. Ford praised.
Cynthia Shannon replied, "Please mind your choice of words."
Mr. Ford half-closed his eyes, leaning elegantly against the bed, his movements bewitching. "With this token as evidence, do you still want to deny our bond?"

Little did she know that Tristan would grab her hand tightly. "Cynthia, I truly love you."


Faced with this sudden confession, Cynthia was at a loss for words. She uncomfortably withdrew her hand, straightening her not-so-messy hair.


But the man was relentless. He reached out his arm and pulled her into his embrace.


He buried his face in the crook of her neck, took a deep breath, and his thin lips lightly touched her ear as he spoke slowly, "I know my love for you has surprised you, but I am also the one who was frightened. I thought I wouldn't love you like this, but that's how I felt yesterday as well."


Cynthia stood frozen in place; her widened eyes filled with unconcealed astonishment.
