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?"

Cynthia looked at him askance. "Are you not curious about a crown with an unknown origin being included in the Forseby auction? Moreover, if it holds no value, why would Forseby showcase it as the grand finale?"


Various signs indicated that this crown might hide some unknown secrets. Regardless of the nature of the secret, it required someone with a keen interest to slowly uncover it.


Cynthia nodded. After Dave left, Tristan closed the catalog in front of him. "Do you like uncovering secrets?"


"Who wouldn't like secrets?" Cynthia's eyes shimmered with a cunning light.
