Chapter 4
My heart clenched suddenly.
In my past life, Ryan had exploited my weaknesses exactly like this, making me howe him more brazen as he trampled the Laris family underfoot.
After speaking Ryan pulled Jessilia away
The housekeeper approached, looking at me with sympathy:[]
“Miss are you
you really going to marry that scumbag tomorrow?”

th my past life. Ryan had used his supposed loyalty and righteousness to secure funding with my father’s backing, even stealing many of our family’s old clients.
With those uncles‘ support, he’d sailed smoothly to eventually secure his position as New York’s richest man |
This time, I’d see if he could still become New York’s wealthiest after I exposed his shameless true face and his enemies crushed him.[]
When I returned to my bedroom, Dad excitedly told me that Uncle Thomas was thrilled, and Luciano was practically ready to fly over immediately.
Dad, tell Godfather Thomas that everything here is ready. No need to rush–as long as we don’t delay tomorrow’s noon wed
wedding.”
I was about to tell Dad to dress formally and elegantly tomorrow when Luciano’s video call came through.]]
Even through the phone, I could feel Luciano’s nervous excitement.
“Dorothy, you.. you really want to marry me? You’re not just messing with me, right?”
Seeing him stare at me with such eager, nervous anticipation, I couldn’t help but smile:
“What? You don’t want to marry me? Think I’m too old?“]
“Nonsense! In my heart, you’ll always be the youngest, most beautiful fairy! I’ve loved you since I was ten, dreaming of making you my wife.“[]
Then Luciano’s mood deflated:
“But all this time, you only had eyes for that bastard Ryan. You never cared about me at all.)
Warmth filled my heart, and immediately softened my voice:
“I in surry. I was wrong before–I was bland and missed out on such a good man. I’ll make it up to you from now on, okay?
Luciano immediately perked up
“Dorothy, do you really mean that? You really think I’m a good man?”
His eyes actually reddened with evotion.
Yes, always. I just chose the wrong person before. That won’t happen again.“||
Luciano’s expression became serious
“Good, Wait for me. I’ll prepare the most precious wedding gift and marry you in the grandest style.“[]
“I’m going to prepare right now! You absolutely cannot change your mind.“[]
Before I could respond, he’d already hung up.
I stared at the phone and chuckled helplessly, then headed to the bathroom.
When I came out, I suddenly heard a thunderous roar–a helicopter had landed in the courtyard
The cabin door opened, and a butler carrying an exquisite į

“Miss Dorothy, this is Young Master Luciano Henry’s token of love for you–the jeweled orb that Queen Elizabeth II personally designed and held during her coronation. Please accept it.
The butler opened the gift box-
Adazzling pure gold sphere, encrusted with countless gens and pearls, lay quietly before me.
