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?"

The large living room was now filled with people. Cynthia and Lily sat on the sofa, with Cynthia handing Lily a cup of hot water. "Drink some water first."


Lily hesitated, then took the cup with a bit of awkwardness and sipped from it. Although she was usually quite spoiled, this was her first experience with being kidnapped. Especially with a bomb strapped to her, it was impossible not to be psychologically affected.


Noticing Lily's discomfort, Cynthia gently touched her cheek. "Let's go. I'll take you to your room to change into some fresh clothes."


Her clothes were still grimy and disheveled.


After the two left, Sean watched them disappear from view, then turned to Jimbo. "What's your plan now?"


Jimbo slouched on the sofa, puffing on a cigarette amidst a haze of smoke. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. What's the point of overthinking now?"
