Chapter 8
Hearing my words, the scene erupted in laughter:[]
“Did I hear that wrong? Sarah Channing is saying she can leave Mr. Holt with nothing?”
“This woman has completely lost it! She doesn’t know her own limits–how dare she say something so arrogant?“]
“Just the desperate posturing of someone incompetent! She’s probably panicking and terrified inside!“[]
–
“Exactly! Thinking about how she’s about to lose her position as billionaire’s wife, she’s saying such ridiculous must be scared senseless!”
Autumn also looked at me with smug mockery:[]
“Sarah Channing, you really don’t know how good you have it!”]
“Such a great opportunity is right in front of you–why can’t you just take it?“]
“Just take care of me and my baby, and you can keep being the envied billionaire’s wife. For trash like you from the
is the best chance you’ll ever get to change your pathetic fate!“]
I ignored the provocation and smugness in Autumn’s eyes, saying expressionlessly:[]}
“Being the billionaire’s wife might be a once–in–a–lifetime chance to change your fate.“[]
“But to me–it means nothing.“]
Autumn frowned: “You’re really good at pretending.”
ジャン
gutter, this
“If Kieran hadn’t been forced into this arranged marriage with you, would you have ever had a chance to see high society in your entire life?”
“Getting all these benefits and still complaining–no wonder you were born poor and destined to serve others your whole life!“]
Kieran also looked down at me condescendingly: “Though I don’t know why my father insisted I marry you.“]
“But over these years, I’ve fulfilled all my responsibilities and obligations.“]
“And let you benefit from it all.“]]
“Since you’re so ungrateful, then the position of billionaire’s wife should indeed go to someone more worthy.“]
Seeing Kieran still so self–righteous, thinking the title of billionaire’s wife could control me, I couldn’t help but find him pathetic.]
“Kieran Holt, the person who’s been enjoying benefits all these years is you.”
“The ungrateful one is you.“]
“The one who should step down is you.“[]
Chapter 8
Kieran’s face darkened, his patience completely gone.]]
“Originally I wanted to preserve some dignity for you out of respect for my father.“]]
“Since you keep challenging me publicly, don’t blame me for being ruthless.“]
With that, he looked at his bodyguards:]
“Show Sarah Channing who really rules Chicago!“]]
At his command, a group of bodyguards walked toward me with intimidating expressions.[]
Autumn and all our classmates watched me with mocking faces, anticipating my downfall.]
However, just as the bodyguards were about to reach me, a tremendous roaring sound suddenly came from the sky.]
Everyone looked up.[]
They saw helicopter after helicopter circling overhead in formation.]
Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, the aircraft landed one after another right in front of
us
Then fully armed special forces personnel began filing out of the helicopters in perfect order.[]
Seeing this, everyone was shocked: “My God, this is incredible!“]
Amid everyone’s amazement, Kieran respectfully stepped forward and politely asked:[]
“Leaders, may I ask what brings you here so suddenly?“]
The always high–and–mighty Kieran was showing rare humility for the first time.]
Before they could respond, Autumn quickly took Kieran’s arm and said eagerly:]
“Isn’t it obvious? So many leaders coming here with such fanfare–they must be here for our wedding!”]]
Hearing this, everyone at the scene immediately understood:[]
“Of course! They must be here for Autumn and Mr. Holt’s wedding!“]]
“Mr. Holt really is worthy of being a billionaire–his connections reach so far that even special forces came specifically for your wedding!“]
“Amazing! Autumn, marrying the richest man means you’ve got nothing but good times ahead!“]
Suddenly everyone was looking at Kieran and Autumn with shock and envy.[]
Autumn’s lips curved upward as she proudly basked in everyone’s envious gazes.]
Kieran’s face showed unprecedented excitement.[]
He quickly straightened his clothes, then said excitedly to the special forces:[]
Chapter 8
“Thank you all for coming specifically for my wedding.“]]
“Please, come inside!“]
He even bowed, making a welcoming gesture.[]
However, the special forces didn’t move at all.]
They didn’t even give Kieran a single glance.[]
The scene fell silent for two seconds.]
Under everyone’s confused stares, all the special forces personnel walked straight toward me.]
The lead officer saluted me, his voice clear and commanding:
“Hello, Comrade Sarah Channing. I received orders from my superiors to provide backup.“[]
“I am the operation commander, Marcus Stone. Please give your orders!”
