lesson.”
One man offered a suggestion.
“Mr. Sterling, rumor has it that Mr. Hayes is extremely protective of his wife. If he knew someone was impersonating his wife, he certainly wouldn’t let her off easily. I know there’s a cold storage nearby. Let’s lock her in there and let Mr. Hayes deal with her personally when he arrives. Then our collaboration project will surely be a go.”
Looking at this group of ugly–faced people, my heart filled with hatred.
Marcus stared at me and sighed.
“Aurora Hayes, I’m giving you one last chance to apologize. Just kneel down and apologize to Vanessa in public, and I’ll let you go.
Otherwise…”

“You wish!”
Seeing my defiance, Marcus’s expression turned completely cold.
He gave a look, and several burly men immediately swarmed me, binding my hands and feet before tossing me into the cold storage.
In the freezing cold storage, below ten degrees Celsius, my entire body quickly became covered in frost.
A strong will to survive made me incessantly bang on the door, desperately scratching at the metal with all my might. My nails were ripped off, exposing raw, bloody flesh.
My daughter cried out for Mommy from outside, only to be slapped several times.
“Who do you call ‘Mommy‘? From now on, *I’m* your only mommy! You little thing!”
Seeing Lily continue to cry uncontrollably, Vanessa simply stuffed a foul–smelling rag into her mouth.
Suddenly, a roaring sound came from a distance. A black Maybach screeched to a halt beside them.
A pair of perfectly tailored long legs stepped onto the ground, and a custom suit outlined the cold, handsome figure of the newcomer.
He was holding a cute little boy in his arms.
In the split second before my consciousness faded, I heard someone shriek:
“Mr. Hayes and the young master are here!”

Caleb Hayes stepped out of the car, holding his son.
He looked around, but couldn’t spot the familiar figure he was searching for.
