Chapter 700

Kian watched them walk off, his heart shattering. He wanted to pull her back, hold her close—but what right did he have now?

“Kian, I’m a woman—I know how girls like her operate,” Teresa said. “She’s already with another guy but won’t let you go. You’re just her fallback.”

“Shut up,” Kian growled, fists tightening. “I don’t hit women, but you’re really testing me.”

Teresa bit her lip. Why was Kian still so obsessed with Ophelia? She backed off, knowing pushing further would only make things worse.

Instead, she made a call. “Got the footage I asked for? Good. Post it. I’ll send the rest of the payment.”

The payout was generous, and the marketing account she hired worked fast. Soon, Ophelia’s name shot to the top of trending searches. The post featured a clipped video of her leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau while Emilio gave her flowers. Teresa added photos Emilio had sent to Paloma, piecing together a damning timeline.
