Chapter <b>404 </b>A Calcted Trade


    <b>“</b>Just ten minutes<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Eliza shook her head. “You shouldn’t have agreed to it.”


    Nn never should’ve agreed to let Tyson get engaged to ine.


    That was basically handing over his power and giving Tyson the perfect excuse to swap ces <b>with </b><b>him</b><b>. </b>


    “In my opinion, nothing could break off that engagement more effectively. Tyson did me <i>a </i>favor.


    Eliza said, “And just like that, the bnce of power in the Hayes family will tip toward Tyson.


    Those executives weren’t idiots. They’d side with whoever could bring them the most benefits..


    And that person wasn’t Nn, with his rebellious streak–it was Tyson, who yed by the rules when it suited him.


    “It’s fine. I have ways to take it back. But when ites to ending that engagement, there’s only one shot.


    ine had finally taken the initiative to cut ties with him.


    He didn’t know exactly what she was thinking, but it was probably part of Tyson’s setup.


    Meanwhile


    ine had followed Tyson down to the underground parking garage.


    He walked ahead without even ncing back.


    Seeing no one around, ine rushed forward and grabbed his arm. “You owe me an exnation. What the hell was that in the meeting room?”


    “Ms. ine, this isn’t the ce to talk. Get in the car.”


    Tyson opened the door and gestured for her to get in.


    Julio stood outside, keeping watch to make sure no one saw them.


    “Why? You promised to help me win Nn back.”


    That promise was the only reason she’d gone along with his n–calling off the engagement in front of everyone to pique Nn’s interest.


    “Ms. ine, I am helping you.”


    “Helping me? Helping me by getting him to agree to marry me off to you?”


    When Nn had agreed to let her marry Tyson, ine felt like her world had copsed.


    Tyson chuckled. “Think about it–Nn gave you up so easily for Eliza. He even handed you over to me. Isn’t that outrageous?”


    “Of course it is! But you-

    <b>“</b>If it’s outrageous, then don’t you want to <b>get </b>back at him<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    ine <b>froze</b><b>. </b>


    Tyson reached out and gently brushed a loose strand of hair from her check.


    The sudden intimacy caught her off guard.


    But his eyes were full of emotion. “You’re beautiful and devoted, Ms. ine. Nn had no right <b>to </b>treat <b>you </b>this way.”


    Hearing those words made the frustration inside her bubble up.


    Tyson continued, “No one in this world loves Nn more than you do. And he still <i>let </i>you down. I <b>can’t </b>bear to see you suffer like this. That’s why I want to help you–so we can get back at him together.”


    ine hesitated, but her heart was already wavering.


    He was right.


    She couldn’t just stand by and watch Nn fall for Eliza.


    She had to strike back.


    She was the Lynn family heiress.


    She was the one who deserved Nn’s love.


    “What do you want me to do?”


    Tyson said, “We’ll let Nn see that the one woman who ever truly loved him is now marrying his uncle. This engagement will make him regret everything–regret that he let someone as perfect as you slip away.”


    ine actually felt tempted.


    Yes. She’d loved Nn with all her heart, but he dismissed her like she was nothing.


    He needed to regret it.


    There was no way Eliza could love him more than she did.


    Eventually, he’de back to her.


    Meanwhile, at MISS Corp-


    Soren’s manager quietly led him in through the back entrance. When the front desk caught sight of him, they immediately came forward. “Mr. Soren, are you here to see Ms. Eliza?”


    “Where is she?”


    Soren still had his mask on and kept it brief.


    He’d been busy filming these past few days, but the moment he heard Eliza had nearly been kidnapped- and that it was all over the news–he came straight over to make sure she was okay.


    The receptionist said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll call upstairs.”

    She quickly dialed Eliza’s assistant.


    After a short exchange, the assistant rushed down from the upper floor.


    “I’m so sorry, Mr. Soren, Ms. Eliza isn’t here right now. She stepped out for something.”


    “She’s… alright?”


    “She’s fine. Ms. Eliza wasn’t hurt.”


    “That’s a relief.”


    “Do you know where she went? I want to check on her.”


    “She went to Hayes Corp. She hasn’te back yet.”


    The moment Soren heard “Hayes Corp,” it was like the blood in his body stopped cold.
