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

After arriving in San Heith, Cynthia and her group had dinner together and then went their separate ways. Before parting, Mrs. Lindsay held Cynthia's hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Cynthia, thank you for these years."


She knew that the debts owed by her and her daughter to the Lindsays were not something that could be repaid with just a simple "thank you." Even with a thousand words, expressing her gratitude wouldn't be as effective as a single "thank you."


"Why say these things?" Cynthia clasped her hand, feeling the roughness of Mrs. Lindsay's joints, calloused fingers betraying the effects of years of hard work. Time had left indelible marks on her.


With a soft sigh, Cynthia continued, "If it weren't for you showing up in time back then, there might not be the Cynthia you see now."
