Chapter 9
I accepted Damon’s proposal, stepping back onto the path I should have taken a decade ago.
Damon assisted me in hiring a top–notch legal team to manage my divorce
from Oliver.
Oliver was only aware that a mysterious mogul was backing me–he had no idea who it really was. He was so thoroughly outmaneuvered that he had no choice but to comply with the divorce.
On the day of Damon’s engagement ceremony, Oliver was among the guests.
He entered the venue with Jessica and saw me immediately.
He couldn’t accept that, after ten years, Damon was still engaged to me.
Oliver seized my wrist and pulled me into the emergency exit.
“What is going on, Amy? Have you been involved with Damon all this time? Have you been unfaithful to me all these years, you traitor?” he exclaimed, trying to drag me away and completely disregarding Jessica.
I roughly pulled my hand away from his grip, glanced at the bitter woman nearby, and scoffed, “Oliver, haven’t you been unfaithful all these years? What gives you the right to question me?”
Oliver’s expression tightened with a frown.
“I’m a man!”
“And what does that matter?” I replied, my voice dripping with contempt.

“Does being a man justify being disloyal in marriage, keeping a legal wife at home while cheating with mistresses outside? Oliver, you are repulsive and despicable. I was blind to have ever loved you.”
Oliver swallowed his frustration, lowering his voice, “Stop causing a
scene, Amy. Didn’t I say I’d help you pay? Why are you being so
stubborn?”
I couldn’t help but laugh before retorting sharply, “The cost of my compliance was being thrown out with nothing, treated like trash, and apologizing to a mistress. Why on earth should I, Oliver? You’re delusional!”
His face flushed with anger, the veins in his neck standing out furiously.
I ignored him and started to leave, but he wouldn’t let go of my hand, holding on tightly.
“Did Damon push for the divorce? Our divorce means nothing. I’ll go to court to annul it–you have to return home with me now!”
I tried to pull away, but he was too strong.
At that moment, several bodyguards arrived and pulled us apart.
Oliver was terrified. He recognized the leader as the man who nearly beat him to death overseas.
“So Damon saved you that day, didn’t he? You’ve been in contact this whole time?
“You bitch, I’ll kill you!”
He lunged at me, only to be kicked aside by one of the bodyguards.
The sound of bones breaking echoed, and he cried out in agony.

I looked at him with indifference and then turned back toward the banquet hall.

With everyone watching, I walked over to Damon and placed my hand in his.
I turned to address everyone gathered with him.
“Welcome to my engagement ceremony with Damon. To anyone involved in the past incidents or who assisted in them, I will hold each of you responsible.”

The room went completely silent.
Then, they all lowered their heads.
Damon leaned down to kiss my forehead, then glanced at Oliver, who was limping back into the banquet hall and glaring at me with bloodshot
eyes.
“From this day forward, Amy is my fiancée. Anyone who opposes her opposes the Altare Group as well!”
Oliver gazed at me blankly, a late flicker of anguish appearing in his eyes.
