I felt his body stiffen for a moment before he hugged me back even tighter.[]
In that instant, I understood why Jasper had agreed to this engagement.]
It wasn’t out of duty but out of a love he had cherished for years.[]

For the first time, I felt the tension in sense of safety and trust.[]

Jasper placed a tender kiss on my forehead and, after hesitating for a moment, asked softly,

In the days that followed, I focused on preparing for my work transition while also getting ready to leave the country.]
Meanwhile, after the engagement banquet, Lincoln’s relationship with Rosemary became increasingly strained.[]
Mrs. Winston was determined to have her grandchild officially recognized by the family, but both Mr. Winston and Lincoln refused to allow Rosemary to into the Winston family.]

Lincoln, however, remained persistent. Every day, he showed up punctually, trying to intercept me.]
It wasn’t until Jasper applied pressure that Mr. Winston finally confined Lincoln to the family estate.
Not long after, news spread that Lincoln and Rosemary were getting married.]]
On the day Jasper and I were set to leave for the airport to fly abroad, Lincoln somehow found out about our departure and, still unwilling to give up, came after us.
While I was in the airport lounge buying coffee, I felt someone grab my hand from behind, spilling coffee all over me.]]
I turned around angrily, locking eyes with Lincoln’s bloodshot gaze.
Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, he nonetheless exuded a sense of utter defeat.]
“Laura, are you really leaving with my uncle and never coming back?“]]
“Don’t go with him, please. I’ve realized my mistakes. I won’t get married–I swear!“]
Only then did I realize that today was supposed to be the day he and Rosemary were registering their marriage.[]
After the embarrassing display at the engagement banquet, Mr. Winston decided not to hold a wedding ceremony for them. nor did he have the face to invite Jasper and me to attend.[]
Now, Lincoln was stubbornly begging me not to leave.
When he saw that I remained unmoved, he even tried to drag me away forcefully.[]

But in the next moment, I was pulled into a warm embrace.[]
It was Jasper, who had returned after completing our check–in process and, upon not finding me, came looking for me.[]
When he saw Lincoln grabbing me, he didn’t hesitate for a second. With a clenched fist, he landed a punch squarely on Lincoln’s face.
“Lincoln! Who gave you the right to lay a hand on my wife?!“]]
Blood trickled from Lincoln’s mouth, but instead of anger, he wore
“Uncle, what are you so afraid of?” he taunted.]

Before Lincoln could finish his sentence, Jasper’s fist connected with his face again.[]

“You’ve been spoiled far too much by the Winston family! It’s time for your reign as CEO to come to an end!“]
Seeing Lincoln sprawled on the ground, nearly beaten senseless, I finally stepped in to stop Jasper.
I noticed his knuckles turning red and couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern.[]

Lincoln Winston, clutching his swollen face, looked up and saw me holding Jasper’s hand, concern evident in my eyes as I checked on him.
“Does it hurt?” I said softly.[]
Completely losing his composure, Lincoln let out a bizarre mix of laughter and sobs, looking utterly ridiculous.[]
When he noticed the growing crowd of onlookers, he finally scrambled awkwardly to his feet.[]
Just then, the Winston family bodyguards arrived, accompanied by Rosemary, still dressed in her wedding gown.[]
As soon as Rosemary spotted me, she didn’t hesitate to point her finger and start yelling.
“Laura! What kind of spell have you cast on Lincoln?!“[]
“Even on the day we’re supposed to register our marriage, you won’t leave us alone! He’s even trying to back out because of you!”
“Why?! Why do you have everything?! You should just go to hell! Go to hell!“[]
In the next instant, Rosemary lunged at me, hand raised to slap me.[]

But Lincoln intercepted her, his eyes dark and filled with fury as he glared at her.[]
“Rosemary! Are you out of your mind? How dare you act like this in front of Laura?“]
“You even think about laying a hand on her, and I’ll make you regret it! Get out of my sight!“]

it was time to put
an end to her antics.]
Perhaps my previous leniency had emboldened Rosemary, making her believe I was an easy target.[]
Today, however, as her vile curses continued to spill forth, I decided
I signaled my assistant, who stepped forward and tossed a stack of photos onto the ground.[]
The images showed Rosemary kissing one of Lincoln’s groomsmen, as well as intimate moments with various wealthy young men.]
Lincoln’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the photos, his expression one of sheer rage and devastation.[]
He had genuinely believed that, at the very least, Rosemary had true feelings for him.[]
Even though he knew about her past indiscretions, he had chosen to marry her for the sake of the child.[]
But now, it was clear–it was all a complete lie.[]
To Rosemary, Lincoln had simply been the easiest and most gullible target among her many conquests.]]
For the first time, Lincoln seemed to truly understand what betrayal felt like.[]
His eyes reddened with fury as he grabbed Rosemary by the collar
“You lied to me! You said you only loved me, but you’ve been with so many other men!“[]
He cast a sharp glance at her stomach.[
“Don’t tell me the baby isn’t mine either!“]]
Rosemary let out a wild laugh. “Why else would I pick you? You’re stupid and easy to fool!“[]
“Anyway, I’ve already married you. The child is part of the Winston family now!“[]
At her words, Lincoln’s gaze turned dark and menacing.]
In a fit of rage, he shoved Rosemary hard to the side.[]

Rosemary lay on the floor, clutching her stomach, her face pale as a sheet.[]
“You killed our child with your own hands?! You’ll face retribution for this!“]
Lincoln, however, remained unfazed, his expression growing even more deranged.[]
“That was no child–it was a cursed spawn! If anyone deserves retribution, it’s you!“[]
Just as he turned to leave, Rosemary grabbed his sleeve in a death grip.[]
Without warning, she pulled out a bottle of liquid from somewhere.[]
As she flung it toward him, the acrid smell of strong acid filled the air.
Lincoln’s jacket instantly corroded, the acid burning through to his back. He let out a pained hiss, his face contorted in agony.
The bodyguards, finally reacting, rushed to subdue Rosemary and restrain her.[]

Moments later, an ambulance and the police arrived, taking both of them away.

I later heard that Lincoln had received timely medical treatment. The burns on his back were minor, leaving only a small scar.
As for Rosemary, she lost the baby.

Rosemary was also sued for divorce and left the Winston family with nothing.]
Despite this, she refused to sign the papers, vowing to stay in the family out of spite.]
