Chapter 14
Kylie’s eyes shone with tears. She just couldn’t understand. “You said you’d marry me, Bruno. You promised
He was the one who’d given her hope in the first place–the one who said yes, who told her he’d be there at the end of the aisle..
Five years ago, she’d slipped into her wedding dress, her heart bursting with happiness, and walked down the aisle on her father’s arm. She was sure that moment would be the happiest of her life.
But with one careless decision, he destroyed everything
He called off the wedding.
Right in front of everyone, as the officiant smiled and asked if he’d take her as his wife, Bruno
Bruno said nothing
He just stood there, silent, while Kylie begged him with her eyes. Finally, he seemed to wake up–but his eyes were hard, his face unreadable.X
Then he said the words that shattered her world,
“I don’t”
I don’t want to marry Kylie.”
He dropped the ring he’d been holding, tore the boutonnière from his suit, and tumed his back on her. He walked away without a single glance back.
The Morris family became a joke in the city. People whispered that all their careful planning had come to nothing.
They weren’t about to just swallow that humiliation. But every time the Morris and Hudson families clashed after that, the Morrises lost. Their status dropped so low, they were on the verge of being pushed out of the elite circle altogether in the end, the Morrises had no choice but to give in–and bring up the engagement again.
They tried to make it sound reasonable, saying Bruno just hadn’t been ready for marriage, that it was all a misunderstanding.
The engagement stayed in place, but all the power now belonged to Bruno.
He treated Kylie with the same cold indifference he’d once shown Lina. He let people humiliate her, just as he’d once let Lina suffer
He wanted Kylie to feel the pain Lina had gone through.
ter how much it hurt.
For the sake of her feelings–and the Morris family–Kylie kept swallowing her pride and taking it, no matter
But until now, Bruno had never actually laid a hand on her. This was the first time.
He hit her. In front of everyone.
Kylie couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down her face as she turned and ran out !!
With the drama over, the crowd quickly lost interest and drifted away. Only the assistant stayed behind, nervous and unsure if he should follow or just disappear!
At that moment, Bruno finally moved,
He looked up at his frozen assistant and said, “Cancel the rest of today’s schedule. ”
Before his assistant could say a word, Bruno was already gone.
By the time the assistant snapped out of it, Bruno had completely disappeared.
Not long after, Amber called. “What happened? I heard you canceled your meeting with Mr. King?”
1–Bruno almost blurted out what happened, but the words caught in his throat. He suddenly remembered–Amber had helped push Lina away all those years ago.
He forced himself to swallow the truth. After a pause, he just said, “It’s nothing.”%
Amber could tell he was hiding something. She wanted to push, but she knew better. Ever since Bruno took over Morris Corporation, no one could force him to talk if he didn’t want to She let it go.X
There were always other ways to find out the truth
After a moment, she changed the subject. “I heard you hit Kylie in front of everyone today?”
Bruno didn’t deny it. Maybe he just didn’t care. He simply said, “Yeah”
Amber let out a heavy sigh
“What are you doing. Bruno? if you don’t care about Kylie, just end things Don’t keep giving her hope only to turn cold again.”
rung didn’t bother explaining His voice stayed cool and distant. Thave my reasons
He wasn’t about to let Kylie go so easily
At least, not until Lina came back to him.
No matter how long it took, he would wait..
And, thankfully, he didn’t have to wait much longer.
