“You can’t treat your brothers this way even if you want to marry Paige.‘
Cole smiled and flung his handkerchief on the floor.
“Oh, I guess you aren’t blind, after all. Why didn’t you do anything before when they were bullying my wife?”
They choked at his words and could not retort. They quickly checked on Ryan and Luke’s condition instead.
Ryan and Luke were extremely upset. They evaded their parents‘ touch and stared at me.
“You can’t marry Cole, Paige.”
“We treated you so well for the past five years. How can you marry y someone else just like that?”
Cole tightened his grip on my hand. For some reason, I suddenly felt safe and protected when he looked at me silently.

“I’m not the one you want to marry. What does it matter to you who I choose to marry?”

The bodyguard released Nancy at this point. She immediately grabbed Ryan’s and Luke’s hands while sobbing
“Ryan, Luke, I had no idea Paige would be so shameless that she’d even seduce Cole Jefferson. I apologize on behalf of Paige, Cole. She’s always seducing men just because of her good looks. She has numerous secret boyfriends. A slutty woman like her isn’t good enough for you. Please don’t be mad at the Edwards family. I’ll take her home with me right now!”
Nancy reached for my hand in an attempt to pull me away, but Cole stepped forward to shield me behind him.
“Are you the same Nancy Edwards that has been humiliating my wife?”
Nancy’s eyes widened in fear. “That’s not true, Cole. I don’t understand what you’re saying ”
Cole smiled scarily, and his words were cold. “Still being stubborn, aren’t you? Play the footage, Julian.”
Julian took out a flash drive and stuck it into a computer. The video played on the big screen in the middle of the stage. It was
from a party on the cruise ship.
I was stunned to see the clear recording.
When the misunderstanding with Ryan and Luke happened, I tried to get the footage as evidence, but the person in charge of the
cruise told me that the footage had been deleted.
How could it still exist?
Moreover, Cole was the one who brought it here.
My mind was filled with questions, Cole laughed softly when he saw the bewildered look on my face and pulled me into his arms.
“I’m sorry. I went to meet the person in charge back then while on my way here. I got delayed while trying to get the footage from
him. This is my fault. I won’t ever leave you alone
again.”
