Chapter 7
Hearing Kellie’s vile words, Hillary reached her breaking point. She swung her hand and slapped Kellie across the face.
“Shut up! You’re revolting!”
However, as soon as her hand made contact, she felt a chilling gaze from
behind.
Hillary froze on the spot. Turning around, she found herself locked in Lorenzo’s icy stare.
Lorenzo looked at Hillary with a cold expression but remained silent.
This silence was the most alarming part. Hillary knew Lorenzo too well; he was known to retaliate over even the slightest insult to Kellie.”
As a result, Hillary spent the entire birthday banquet feeling uneasy.
She was consumed with fear, anxious that Lorenzo might strike back at any moment without warning.
Even so, the banquet unfolded without any disruptions..
By evening, they were at the hotel, and Andrew was about to reveal who Hillary would be marrying in the future.
The room buzzed with excitement, as everyone whispered and animatedly discussed the situation.
“Hillary is sure to pick Lorenzo. Everyone knows she’s been pursuing him.”
Chapter 7
“Lorenzo’s got real clout–he’s smart, cutthroat, and now he controls the Sutton Group. Who could possibly challenge him in the business world?”
“Maybe only Noel Clarke from the Clarke family stands a chance, but I’ve heard Noel has been trying to win Hillary over for years…”
“Right. Poor Noel. He’s pursued Hillary for so long but couldn’t even snag an invite to this event. Now, he has to watch his rival marry the woman
he adores…”
Catching snippets of the chatter, Hillary couldn’t help but smile to herself.
She glanced over at Noel and noticed he was watching her, too.
Noel’s eyes were brimming with affection as he signed to Hillary, “Don’t you dare back out!”
Hillary couldn’t help but smile and was about to reply when suddenly, the large screen behind her began displaying her private photos.
There were images of her taken from behind while bathing and intimate pictures of her in lingerie.
The photo slideshow concluded with a video.
In the video, Hillary was seen clutching Lorenzo’s clothes, blushing as she sniffed them and pleasured herself
“Lorenzo, I like you so much…” she said shyly in the video.
In the present moment, Hillary collapsed in despair, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Lorenzo.
All because she had called Kellie a “slut,” he was exposing her private photos and videos to everyone, seemingly to prove she was the real “slut“?
Lorenzo, how could you be so heartless?

“Who uploaded this video? Turn it off–right now!” Andrew shouted angrily. He rushed forward to stop the video but found it impossible to shut down.
At last, it was Noel who dashed forward and shattered the projector, plunging the large screen into darkness.
“Who did this? Who’s responsible?” Andrew fumed with anger. “Seal the exits! No one leaves until we identify the culprit!”
“Mr. Sutton, please calm down,” a business associate reassured him. “Besides, Hillary and Lorenzo are getting married. This video isn’t anything to be concerned about.”
“Exactly, exactly–just harmless couple quirks. We all understand.”
But Andrew stayed furious, as he was the only one who knew that Hillary’s fiancé had been secretly replaced.
In the quiet that followed, Andrew lifted his gaze and looked intently at Noel. Whether his son–in–law could manage the situation depended on this very moment.
Sensing his father–in–law’s subtle look, Noel stepped forward without
hesitation.
Noticing the look from his father–in–law, Noel confidently stepped forward.
He embraced Hillary and announced boldly, “Hillary will be my wife!
“And I promise that anyone who’s wronged her will face consequences. For those who dared to secretly take and leak these photos, I will ensure you regret it beyond belief.”
As his words echoed, everyone stared at Noel in disbelief.

Lorenzo and the other six men who had been promised to Hillary as
children turned pale.
“Did Hillary really… choose him?!”
