He thought she was dirty, only fit to be his mistress.
Her tense body was on the verge of copse.
She stared straight at the man downstairs–the man she once loved, once wanted to spend her life with–now expressionless as he spoke words that hurt her.
He despised her family background, her looks, and the fact that she had a child.
His true feelings were so cruel.
It shattered her heartpletely.
Luciano hade here, in fact, to fight for a chance for
Prisci.
If Prisci still loved Wesley, and Wesley still had feelings for her, then they could clear up the misunderstanding and be together.
If Prisci no longer cared for Wesley, then at least Wesley, knowing the truth, could let her go.
He never expected Wesley to despise and loathe Prisci so
much.
Not even with the paternity test as proof.
Juniper, whose heart <b>had </b>been in her throat, finally rxed. She was filled with sweetness, holding Wesley’s arm, her eyes

full of pride.
“Mr. Wilkinson, you should advise Prisci to let go of the past after the divorce. She shouldn’t keep pestering Wes–it’s unseemly.”
Luciano carefully put away the paternity test, his voice cold. “In that case, I wish you both a long and happy life together.”
“As for Prisci, I’ll bring her back myself.”
Wesley’s eyes darkened. He stopped Luciano, who was about to leave. “What do you mean by that?”
What did he mean by ‘bring her back‘?
Wasn’t she staying at Chaston Vi?
Luciano simply shoved past him with his shoulder. “Go on with your engagement.”
He had only learned Prisci was taken away by Amelia after she left. If he wanted to find her, it would be difficult alone, so he had to take a gamble with Wesley.
He had gambled right.
Wesley was furious. He yanked his arm out of Juniper’s grasp with such force that Juniper even stumbled.
“Luciano, make yourself clear.”
But Luciano refused to say more.
They red fiercely at each other.
Amelia’s heart pounded. If Wesley found out Prisci was

upstairs, witnessing everything, hearing every word, he would show her no mercy as his mother.
Yes, even though she always scolded Prisci for shamelessly clinging to Wesley, she knew perfectly well who was really clinging to whom.
“Enough, Wes. This is your engagement party with Juniper. Do you want everyone to be aughingstock?” she scolded, hoping Wesley woulde to his senses.
Juniper’s eyes were already red.
With so many people watching, his questioning about another woman’s whereabouts had made her a joke.
Wesley rubbed his brow and looked toward Elijah in the crowd.
Elijah was a jack–of–all–trades, not only handling his boss’s work wlessly, but also managing his boss’s moods with equal skill.
Elijah immediately left the crowd to make a phone call.
Luciano let out a mockingugh. “Mr. Carlton, why are you so concerned about a woman you im to despise so much?”
Wesley narrowed his deep eyes. “Shut up.”
Seeing that time was dragging on, Amelia worried that Wesley would quit once he learned the truth, so she simply said, “Prisci is here. I invited her.”
Wesley turned to look at Amelia, his tone indifferent. “Where
is she?”

Wesley knew his mother well; her so–called invitation probably involved some underhanded means.
Amelia stammered, unwilling to say.
She didn’t dare to speak.
But Wesley’s gaze was so oppressive, it was truly intimidating.
And the whispers around her were enough to crush Amelia’s self–esteem.
She could only point toward the second floor. “Over there.”
Wesley followed the direction she indicated.
He met a face already streaked with tears.
His Adam’s apple bobbed twice, a sour ache rising in his throat.
She stood there, having witnessed everything, so of course she had heard all the things he said.
“Prisci.” He murmured, wanting to go to her, but Juniper held him back tightly.
He could only watch helplessly as Luciano went upstairs and brought her down.
By the time she reached the ground floor, her expression was calm and cold, as if the tears from moments ago had been nothing but an illusion.
“Prisci.” He called her instinctively.
Prisci tilted her head slightly, offering a lightugh and her

Supported by Luciano’s half–embrace, she walked out.
That slender figure grew more and more distant.

Wesley watched, the crease between his brows deepening.
Amelia nced at the onlookers, who were clearly enjoying the spectacle, and tugged at her son’s sleeve, feeling quite aggrieved.
“I really just invited her to your engagement party, nothing else. Believe me, please just finish this engagement properly, okay?”
Wesley brushed his mother’s hand away without mercy, his face dark as he looked at Juniper. “I remember warning you- three strikes and you’re out.”
And this was exactly the third time.
