Chapter 88 The Man She Was Forced to Marry
Wyatt lowered his gaze to her. “Can you still <b>move </b>your <b>arms</b>?”
Yunice tried to stretch one out.
To <b>her </b><b>surprise</b>, Wyatt crouched slightly, slipping his shoulder under her arm. “Hold on to me.”
Feeling his arm curve under the bend of her knee. Yunice instinctively tightened her grip around his shoulder.
A secondter, Wyatt effortlessly lifted her with one arm.
The entire room froze, stunned.
They <b>had </b>all assumed Wyatt was just some cripple who couldn’t do anything–but none of them had expected him to pick her up like that, so calm and strong.
Paul felt like something sharp had pierced his chest. His eyes flicked to Wyatt, then to Yunice, who didn’t resist. Finally, he dropped his gaze in silence.
Wyatt hadn’te just to visit. He <b>had </be to take Yunice away.
Luke moved to stop him. “Mr. Cooper, there’s no rush<b>. </b>Let Ms. <b>Saunders </b>get her measurements first so we can get started on the wedding gown.”
Wyatt shot him a mocking look. “I know exactly who belongs to me. I’ll protect her myself–you don’t need to meddle”
My person. The weight of those two words darkened every face in the room.
Owen and Lily couldn’t quite read Wyatt’s intentions.
Elsie and Paul, meanwhile, looked downright miserable–probably out <b>of </b>jealousy.
After Wyant left, Luke followed with the <b>tailor</b>.
Only then did Owen turn to <b>Paul</b>, worried, “What were you trying to say about Wyatt earlier?”
Owen still hoped that if Yunice had to marry Wyatt, maybe she could at least be happy. Then he wouldn’t feel so guilty.
But from Paul’s earlier tone, it sounded like there was something seriously wrong with Wyatt–something hidden.
Only those inside the Powell family would really know the truth.
Surrounded by everyone, Paul looked ufortable, Eke he didn’t want to say it out loud. “He’s… he’s a psychopath.”
Owen waited, but <b>Paul </b>stopped there.
He pressed, “<b>And</b>?”

any woman by his side all these years?”
.any woman
Owen’s frown deepened. He didn’t quite get what <b>Paul </b><b>was </b>implying
Finished
Maybe it involved secrets within the Powell family. If Paul wouldn’t spell it out, Owen didn’t feel right pushing further
Elsie watched Paul closely. Seeing how tense he looked, she figured something really was off about Wyatt. If Yunice married <b>him</b>, she definitely wouldn’t have a good time.
That thought alone was enough to dull Elsie’s jealousy
At Silverburgh Hospital. Joe stood by the bed, adjusting the IV drip.
“Ms. Saunders,” he said lightly, “even if you love medicine, you can’t keep running back to the hospital like this.”
She’d just left the night before <b>and </b>was already back again. It was the third time she’d <b>been </b>admitted in a week.
Yunice gave a sheepish smile. Honestly, if Wyatt hadn’t taken her seriously, she wouldn’t even have made it past the front desk. <b>Without </b>an ID, she couldn’t even register.
After checking the IV, Joe added. “Since you’re here, stay and rest properly. You’re young–don’t end up with lifelongplications.”
Once he left, only a young nurse remained in the room to care for her.
Wyatt had dropped her off and hadn’t returned since.
Rumor had it Wyatt hadn’t even known about the wedding. He was probably off confronting Mr. Jackson
<b>пош</b>.
She hadn’t wanted this marriage–<b>and </b>Wyatt would want it even less.
He <b>was </b>at the height of his career, with every wealthy family’s daughter waiting for his attention. Marrying her would be seen <b>as </b>a joke, a stain on <b>his </b>reputation.
But Yunice figured Wyatt, like her, had no real choice in the matter.
She’d grown up around the Powell family <b>and </b>had seen firsthand how Mr. Jackson operated. Unless he was absolutely certain, he’d never force someone’s <b>hand</b>. But once he made a move, <b>it </b>was already toote to
resist
Lily had been right about one thing. Even if the Saunders family refused the marriage, the Powell <b>family </b>wouldn’t let her go.
Even Wyatt had been pulled into it. What chance did she have?
That was why she had ultimately agreed.
When she first heard <b>about </b>the engagement, Yunice hit wondered–why her?

Luk? had told her this was Mr. Jackson repaying an old lebt. She should be grateful.
Finished
Yunice figured it <b>had </b>something to do with <b>that </b>day–when she picked up Wyatt’s cane and offended Mr. Jackson in the process. Maybe this marriage was his twisted version of “repayment.”
With the knife already at her throat, Yunice no longer bed the strength to question if she’d acted recklessly that day. She could only take it one step at a time.
As she stared off in thought, noise stirred outside the room. It sounded like people were chasing someone down the hallway.
The young nurse couldn’t help but peek outside.
Yunice asked. “What’s going on?”
“Not sure,” the nurse replied. “Looked like some big shot showed up–everyone’s rushing to get a glimpse.”
