?Chapter 814:


    Milton had always seemed cold and unreachable to Wanda, a man she could never influence. Still, her engagement to Cole gave her every reason to pursue him. One way or another, she refused to lose both of these men.


    A walk through a shaded, tree-lined path separated the dormitory from the backstage area. Milton set a brisk pace, aware of Cole’s steady footsteps trailing closely behind. Irritation crept in, so he came to a stop and turned around to confront Cole.


    Cole paused as well, matching Milton’s gaze without hesitation. Not far off, Wanda kept her distance, watching the two men with cautious eyes.


    Milton broke the silence. “Why are you trailing after me, Mr. Evans?”


    Cole did not hesitate to state his purpose. “I thought I’d already told you, Mr. Campbell. Lh is the woman I want. If you’re nning to interfere, I won’t just watch quietly.”


    A nce at Wanda made Milton smirk. “Maybe you should figure out your situation with Wanda before you think about going up against me for Lh.”


    Cole’s brow creased at Milton’s words, and he turned his head. Spotting Wanda standing not far away brought a rush of annoyance through him.


    Milton continued, “Let me make something clear, Mr. Evans. As long as I’m around, you’ll never get near Lh. I don’t think you’re good enough for her.” The hostility in Milton’s tone left nothing to question.


    Taken aback by Milton’s bluntness, Cole did not back down. His eyes narrowed, sharp and dangerous. Just as Cole opened his mouth to reply, Milton added, “The fact that you were once engaged to Wanda gives you no right to chase after Lh—not now, not ever.”


    Without another word, Milton turned away and continued down the path toward the dormitory. There was no way, as Lh’s big brother, he could allow his sister to be with a man who had already been involved with Wanda.

    A DNA test had not been performed yet, but Milton was convinced deep down that Lh was truly his sister. The feeling was too strong to ignore.


    Cole watched Milton’s silhouette disappear down the path, his brow knitted as he pondered the situation. Suspicion had been brewing in Cole, certain that Milton wanted Lh for himself, which fueled his own hostility. Yet, as he studied Milton’s actions, nothing about them suggested romance. Instead, Milton seemed to act like a protective older brother.


    This new realization left Cole puzzled. Could it be that Lh was the long-lost Campbell heiress? Was this all truly just a strange coincidence?


    Lost in these thoughts, Cole barely noticed Wanda walking up, her face lit with a practiced smile as she pretended to stumble upon him. “What are the odds? I just happen to be here for some work business. What brings you here, Cole?”


    Cole’s sharp instincts saw right through her. She was following him, not here by ident. Her attempt to pretend otherwise only fueled his irritation. But he couldn’t be bothered to expose her.


    He looked at her seriously and said, “Wanda, our engagement is over.”


    The fake cheer faded from Wanda’s face, reced by disbelief. “Why? Cole, I thought you liked me. Didn’t youe all the way overseas to propose to me at my home?”


    “That was a misunderstanding,” Cole answered quietly. He pulled out his checkbook, signed a check for one hundred million dors, and extended it to Wanda. “Sorry for causing you trouble. Take this check aspensation. Starting today, we’re finished. Please don’t reach out to me again.”
