Chapter 702

To Paloma, Emilio’s tears showed how deeply he cared for Ophelia—true empathy.

Ophelia wanted to turn him down, but the exhaustion on her parents’ faces made her hesitate. Kicking Emilio out would just make things worse. She watched as he sat with them on the couch.

“Uncle, Aunt, I’ve got a plan,” Emilio began. “If they want to fight dirty, we fight back. Let’s expose Kian. He cheated, caused her miscarriage—let the world see who he really is.”

Ophelia quickly objected. “We just need to clear my name and sue the accounts spreading lies. My company’s legal team can handle it. No need to take it that far.”

A back-and-forth battle would never end. And despite everything, a part of her still cared about Kian. They’d once loved each other deeply. She didn’t want a public war—or to use their lost child as ammunition.

Emilio didn’t press too hard, but he didn’t back down either. “Ophelia, I know I shouldn’t say this, but your parents are worried sick. What parent wouldn’t be, watching their daughter get torn apart online? And this impacts the Labrie Group too—their whole life’s work.”
