Miranda panicked when she heard he wanted to withdraw his capital.

Losing both the rich son-in-law and his funds would be catastrophic for their family.

She immediately went after him. “Please forgive Emilia. I promise she won’t complain again no matter what you want her to do.”

The man ignored her, and his bodyguards came forward to stop Emilia and Miranda from getting any closer to him.

Emilia’s hurried pace caused her high heels to catch on the hem of her dress, and the fabric tore with a loud rip. A sizable gap opened up behind her, leaving her feeling exposed and embarrassed.

She climbed to her feet and staggered to the door.

She couldn’t afford to let him leave. It was hard for her to find a rich and foolish man like him. She really thought he was the one who could provide for her.

Emilia’s loud wails filled the air and her resentment was palpable.
