Arthur''s eyes zed with intensity, making her shiver. "The chair is made of oak, you''re wearing ts, and yet you im you''re unsteady?"


    Alyssa''s face flushed with embarrassment and then went pale. She stuttered, "Arthur, this is too harsh. What about the bond between the Wrights and the Linters?" Arthur''s words were cold and direct, cutting deep. "There''s no bond between us. You''re trying to pin me on my wife out of thin air. I won''t forgive that!"


    Alyssa stood frozen like a shattered porcin doll, her gaze filled with venom as she stared at Sasha.


    Sasha, throughout this ordeal, hadn''t said a word. Her elegance was unmarred, dressed in simple yet wless attire.


    She didn''t need to speak or act; Arthur''s support was her vindication.


    Alyssa was seething with hatred.


    Sasha''s brows furrowed slightly as she checked on Winston, adjusting his IV with concern. When she finally addressed Alyssa, her voice was cold, "If not for the fact you''re Winston''s sister, I''d have no qualms about ending you."


    Her ruthless tone sent shivers down Alyssa and her attendants'' spines.


    "Were you so desperate to grasp at the lifeline Winston offered? Do you realize your actions could have drowned him, putting him in greater peril than you faced?"


    Sasha''s piercing gaze was a challenge.


    Alyssa, guilt-ridden, fumbled with her words, "In that moment, survival was all I could think of. I didn''t mean to drag him down with me!"


    "If you had any sense, you would have waited for me to rescue you, rather than endangering Winston. His current state is on you," Sasha retorted, her authority leaving Alyssa speechless.


    Winston''s attendants admired Sasha, recognizing Alyssa''s schemes. They knew the truth would reach the Wright family patriarch once Winston awoke.


    When Winston''s eyes fluttered open to the twilight, the first thing he saw was Sasha''s caring face. His small hand reached for hers, and after a thorough check ensuring he was fine, Sasha finally rxed. Sasha tenderly brushed his forehead, then pinched his cheek softly.


    Alyssa rushed forward, tears streaming, "Winston, you scared me to death. Promise never to do something so reckless again!"


    The insincerity in her act was palpable, but young Winston, innocent and pure-hearted,forted her, "Sis, I''m okay. Don''t be scared."


    Arthur had the Linter family butler bring in Winston''s favorite flower, a bi-colored lotus, now closed into a bud. Despite the butler''s reluctance to bypass Yorick, Arthur had insisted.


    Winston''s delight at the sight of the lotus was genuine, a stark contrast to Alyssa''s resentment.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Sasha and Arthur shared a smile, promising to bring Winston to their wedding, setting aside the drama.


    The next day, Arthur, frustrated by the online uproar over their wedding ns, dered a bold move. "Let the inte buzz. We''ll live stream our wedding to the world!"


    Their defiance was clear, turning their wedding into a spectacle for the world to see, proving their love could withstand any storm.


    Vivienne, roused by themotion, groggily supported the decision, her morning irritation forgotten in the face of their resolve.


    Arthur''s face softened as he saw his


    darling daughter Vivienne awaken. Looping his arm around her shoulder, he asked with a warm tone, "Sweetheart, what would you like to eat? I''ll cook it myself for you and your mom."


    Vivienne, with anguid nce thatcked her usual frostiness, felt her defenses against Arthur slowly melting away after spending so many days with the Linter family. She gently removed his arm and opened Twitter to check thetest buzz.


    Twitter was abuzz more than ever. The top trending topic was, "Boycott War God Sasha''s Wedding!"


    Following that, the second and third spots were taken by "War God Sasha is Getting Married Tomorrow!" and "Sasha used of Persecuting Alyssa''s Brother Over Past Grudges!"


    The top searches of the past few days were all about her parents, prompting Vivienne to muse about getting on the trending list herself. Why not make it a family affair?


    Turning to her mother, she yfully suggested, "Mom, how about we also get married tomorrow, along with Mr. Wolf? Let''s get the whole family trending together."


    "No way!" Arthur interjected sternly,


    his voice cutting through the room. "That Ellington boy hasn''t gotten past me yet! And since when do weddings be group events? I only nned on marrying Sasha!"
