Chapter 15 Your Fiancée Sure Knows a Lot
“Huh?” Wyatt found it utterly <b>amusing</b>, raising <b>an </b>eyebrow. “Do you take me for a saint?”
Yunice was speechless.
The rumors about him being born wicked weren’t unjustified<b>. </b>
Yunice had lost her <b>naivery</b>. She frowned and asked, “What will it take for you to return it?”
With his status, he certainly wasn’t after money. It was most likely just for his own amusement.
Wyatt seemed undecided about his terms and remained silent for a moment.
<b>Just </b>then, the private room door behind <b>him </b>opened from the inside, signaling the end of the gathering. Owen was the first to step out, his expression grim.
Paul followed closely behind, about to speak to Owen when his gaze unexpectedlynded on Yunice.
His heart clenched when he saw the man standing opposite her. He rushed forward and pulled Yunice behind him, snapping at Wyatt, “<b>What </b>are you doing standing with her?!”
If he hadn’t yelled, it would’ve been fine. But his outburst immediately drew the attention of everyone emerging from the private room
Seeing Paul clutching Yunice, Jensen’s face darkened.
I had just helped him get rid of this burden, yet here he was, entangling himself with her again!
An absolute fool, just like his mother, driven by emotions.
Meanwhile, Owen instinctively looked at Elsie. As expected, she appeared dejected, her eyes red, yet she still spoke kindly on their behalf. “<b>Paul </b>is standing up for <b>Yunice</b>. It shows that he’s a man of loyalty.”
Paul might <i>be </i>loyal, but Yunice had no sense of propriety. Was she still hoping to marry into the Powell family?
Did she even look at herself in the mirror to see if she was worthy!
Earlier in the private room, Yunice had signed the annulment papers. However, Jensen had not allowed Paul and Elsie to sign their engagement papers, using Paul’s uncle, Wyatt Cooper, as an excuse to dy the marriage.
It <b>was </b>clear that the Powell family <b>had </b>no interest in either of the Saunders daughters. Their talk of swapping fiancées <b>had </b>merely been a tactic <b>to </b><b>push </b>for the annulment.
Owen had lost significant face in the private room. Now, looking at Yunice, he could barely contain his anger.
<i>If </i><i>it </i>weren’t for her mental illness, <i>if </i>she hadn’t stood up and embarrassed herself, how could Jensen have developed such a poor impression of our family
Elie hadn’t secured the engagement with the Powells because Yunice had deliberately sabotaged it!
Not wanting to linger in disgrace<b>, </b>Owen strode forward and <b>dragged </b>Yunice away.
Yunice stumbled as she was pulled along, ncing back repeatedly at Wyatt’s sleeve, my bracelet!
Lily and Elsie followed closely behind. Paul, wanting to exin, <b>hesitated </b>as Elsie <b>cast </b>him a wounded look before leaving as

Wyatt took in the <b>scene </b>and smirked. “I heard the Powell family is celebrating an uing wedding. I haven’t had the chance to congratte you, brother.”

Margaret could tell it wasn’t apliment but wasn’t sure if Wyatt was referring to Yunice or Elsie.

Hyatt was no longer the pitiable outcast everyone could step on. <i>He </i>yed both sides and made money in all kinds of ways. His influence more far exceeded that of the Powell Corporation.
Jensen had felt the pressure, which was why he wanted Paul to marry someone who could benefit the family. The Saunders family… simply didn’t make the cut.
Margaret had no patience for Wyatt’s affairs. She frowned <b>and </b>asked Paul, “What is
“What decision?” Paul didn’t understand.
“Between Yunny and that Elsie, Who are you <b>choosing</b>? Margaret asked again.
…Of course. I choose Elsie.” Paul replied.
“Then stay away from Yunny. Don’t cause her trouble.”
Paul remained silent<b>. </b>
your decision?”
to marry Elsie, but I couldn’t stand how cold Yumer was toward me. Did our fifteen years together mean nothing to her!
How could she just annul the engagement so easily?!
Back at the Saunders mansion, Yunice was dragged home by an enraged Owen, with Lily and Elsie hurrying behind them.
The moment they stepped into the living room, Owen flung her hand away and vented his fury. “Will you only be satisfied if this family falls apart?!”
Yunice steadied herself against the sofa, confused about what had triggered his anger this time. She had done exactly what he had asked of her today.
Owen pointed at her, yelling, “Don’t y innocent! You stood up at the dining table just to embarrass us and sabotage Elsie’s engagement! If I had known you were <b>this </b>intolerable, I never should’ve brought you back from that psychiatric hospital!”
Elsie, heartbroken, could barely stand. Lily held onto her, tears falling as <b>she </b>pleaded, “Yunny, I know you resent your sister, but Paul chose to marry her. She knew you loved him and rejected his countless times over the past <b>three </b>years. But today… Today, <b>you </b>made <b>things </b>so difficult for her…
Yunice <b>was </b>momentarily stunned before she realized the truth. Elsie had likely been rejected by the Powells, and Owen was taking his frustration out on me.
She let out a silentugh and asked, “<b>You </b>only noticed that I suddenly stood up, but did <b>you </b>ever <b>ask </b>why I did? Do you know what 1030 represents? 1030 was my number <b>in </b>the <b>psychiatric </b><b>hospital</b>. For three years, I had no name. 1030 was my identity<b>.</b>”
Looking toward Owen, she continued. “You me me for standing up suddenly, but did you consider why? <b>That </b>number triggers <b>a </b>conditioned response in me. Do you know what kind of punishment I would receive in the psychiatric hospital ift was even one secondte in standing up<b>? </b>Do you know what it feels like to <b>have </b>electric mps on your fingers? Have you ever experienced incontinence? Tell me, who, after countless electric shocks, wouldn’t react as I did?”
Owen don’t know. He knew nothing. He didn’t know 1030 was my number. <i>He </i>didn’t know I had been subjected to electric shocks.
As a medical professional, Owen was well <b>aware </b>of how caregivers secretly <b>abused </b>patients. If this happened even in hospitals, kot much patience would a psychiatric institution have for the mentally ill
Yunice continued, “That <b>massive </b>hotel had numerous waitstaff, yet they just happened to assign someone with the ID 1030

Owen caught the implication and turned to <b>Elsie </b>with suspicion.
