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?"

From Wedding Betrayal to Billionaire's Devotion

Knowing her aunt wouldn't just stand by when Cynthia was in trouble, Suri decided to step forward and show her face to her aunt. Cynthia was aware of Suri's intentions, but she felt it was only right to express gratitude for Suri's help. Whether Suri accepted it or not was her own business.


As they left, they coincidentally encountered Joe and Steve. Joe had been wanting to discuss the investment matters with Mr. McNamara, but the latter's attitude had been dismissive, which wasn't a good sign. Joe understood that continuing the discussion at this moment would only backfire.


As they prepared to leave, Tristan and Cynthia arrived, their fingers tightly intertwined. Joe's gaze immediately fell on their clasped hands, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.


Steve noticed the two and changed his attitude from the perfunctory tone earlier to a friendly one. "Mr. Ford, Miss Shannon."
