Chapter 13
My hands trembled instinctively.[]
Grayson also noticed the approaching figure.[]
Not understanding the situation, he gripped my hand tightly for comfort: “Don’t be afraid.“[]
I felt reassured under his steady gaze.]
That’s right.[]
This was the East Coast.]
This was my territory.
I wasn’t afraid of Kael.[]
Lost in thought, Kael had already reached the
passenger side.

He raised his hand and knocked on the glass, mouthing.]
“Hope, get out.“]}
Only then did Grayson realize this person was here for me.[]
Click–the driver’s side door unlocked.[]
As he was about to get out, I held him back.]
I said firmly: “I’ll go talk to him.”
Although the East Coast and West Coast were different regions, their business relationships were complex and intertwined. The Clarke and Reed families inevitably had dealings.[]
I didn’t want to cause trouble for Grayson before we were even married.[]
Seeing my serious expression, Grayson nodded.[]
“Baby, call me immediately if anything happens.”
During our exchange, Kael had grown impatient.[]
He knocked on the window again.
His eyes became increasingly fierce.[]
I unlocked the door, opened it, and closed it behind me.]
Separating the sounds outside from those inside the car.]

A hint of a smile rose in Kael’s eyes.[]
He took my hand and led me toward his car.
I shook him off.
Kael frowned.[]
“Hope, don’t throw a tantrum. You’ll catch a cold in the rain.“[
I laughed coldly.[]
“Kael, what are you doing here?”
He smiled too, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, carrying a chilling coldness.[]
“If I didn’t come, would I just watch my girlfriend become someone else’s wife?“[]
I sneered, turned my head away, and started walking.[]
But my wrist was gripped tightly by him.[]
Kael forcibly pulled me back, his hand gripping my chin,
cing me to look at him.
He said word by word.[]

“Hope Carter, I didn’t agree to break up.“[]
His voice trembled slightly.[]
“You blocked me, changed your phone number, cleared out everything from the house–I don’t care about any of that, as long as you come back.“]]
i shook him off.
My cold eyes held no emotion.[]
“Kael, it’s not about you not caring anymore. It’s about me not wanting you anymore.“[]
I strode away.]
Kael caught up again.[]
Before he could make another move, Grayson stepped in front of me.[]
“Sir, please show some restraint.“]
Maric and sinister emotions surrounded Kael.[]
His expression was tense.[]
“What if I’m taking her with me today?“]
Chapter 11
Grayson brushed off nonexistent dust from his clothes and smiled coolly.[]
“If I can’t protect my Hope on the first day of our engagement, how can I dare to ask for her trust in the future?“||]
“Hope isn’t yours to call!“]
Kael roared and threw a punch at Grayson.[]
The two men grappled together.]]
No matter how much I shouted, neither would stop.
“What are you doing!“]
Jake arrived and separated them.]
The two men stood on opposite sides, both with bloodshot eyes glaring at each other.[]
Jake looked at me.[]
“Hope, take Grayson and leave first.“[]
I nodded and pulled Grayson away.
Kael tried to follow, but Jake held him back firmly.]
“Kael, have you lost your mind?!”
