Chapter 366

    Chapter 366


    As soon as they heard the news, a few young women from high society began


    enthusiastically discussing the incident involving udia in the group chat.

    ‘A failed suicide attempt? Timely rescue? Who knows if she actually tried to kill herself,


    someone said.


    ‘I think it’s a ploy for pity and to clear her name. She just doesn’t want to admit it


    happened. How else can she marry into the Cadogans?‘


    ‘Enough. It has been years since Mr. Cadogan was divorced. udia would be married


    to him by now if it were possible. If I were her, I would give up on him and stay on as his


    savior. Then, I’ll find a man who loves and worships me. Isn’t that so much better?‘


    ‘Yes, but it’s ric Cadogan. If you have the chance to spend one night with a man like.


    him, every other man will seem like a downgrade.’


    After that message, there was radio silence in the group, as if everyone agreed with the


    sentiment expressed until someone responded.


    ‘There’s no use in persisting, though. I hear from a little bird that Victoria Selwyn is back


    in the country.‘

    That statement caused widespread gasps of surprise.


    ‘Victoria Selwyn? ric Cadogan’s ex–wife? She’s back?‘


    ‘That’s right. I heard she started her own business, and the Cadogan Group even


    invested in it. My cousin’s university ssmate worked there. That’s where I heard it


    from.’


    ‘Investing in thepany as soon as she started it? It looks like their rtionship isn’t


    over yet.‘


    ‘Please. ric clearly loves Victoria. Why else would he marry her? After all, they’d


    grown up together, and all udia did was take advantage of being his savior. He


    hadn’t dated her since Victoria left him five years ago. Now that Victoria is back, that


    possibility is even more impossible.‘


    With the return of Victoria as the main topic of conversation, the initial two–person


    conversation expanded to include another participant.


    Meanwhile, at the hospital ward, udia nced at the gauze wrapped around her


    slender wrists before turning her attention to Scarlette. “Well, Mom? Did ric answer


    the phone?”

    On the other hand, after making over a dozen calls that went unanswered, Scarlette’s


    3.7


    expression became increasingly gloomy. A public announcement concerning the


    incident has been released. Even if ric is upset about the scheme from the night


    before, my daughter is still his savior. Does he not care about her? “Ungrateful brat!” she


    angrily spat out. “If we had known he would act like this… You should not have saved


    him.”


    When udia heard that, a pang of guilt began to form in her heart.


    Nheless, Mr. Johnson, standing next to his wife, immediately jumped to ric’s


    defense. “In fact, the Cadogans treated us quite kindly. We would not be where we are


    today if it weren’t for them.” As the family’s breadwinner, he had the best grasp of that


    logic. Previously, he had to be the one to do the fawning and ttering, but now it was


    the other way around. Hence, he could sense the difference in treatment he received


    based on his social standing in the past and present. “Also, if Mr. Cadogan truly


    intended to wed udia, he would have done so long ago and would not have waited


    until now. Why don’t we know our ce and stop bothering him?


    As soon as he said that, Scarlette rolled her eyes and responded scornfully, “What sort


    of nonsense is that? Are you helping an outsider? udia saved ric’s life. Of course,


    he would marry her.”

    When her husband heard that, he slumped over, upset. Then, he rebuked, “That’s not

    Chapter 366 He Is the Only One I Will Marry


    ΑΠ


    right. If everyone had this mentality, no one would be willing to rescue others. If survival


    meant adding another burden to ric’s shoulders, I’d rather he died at that time.”


    Suddenly, Scarlette’s anger was sparked by his words, and she yelled and screamed at


    Mr. Johnson. Soon, her fervent admonishment silenced him, and he slinked out of the


    ward.


    After the door closed behind him, udia lowered her eyes and asked miserably,


    “Should I do as Dad says? Should I stop bothering ric?”


    “Don’t listen to your father. He doesn’t understand what men are like. udia, capturing


    ric’s heart is already a hard task for you. You are the only person who has ever saved


    his life, and no one else has. Thus, you will always be the most special person in his


    heart. When he arrives, you must threaten him with your life and tell him he must marry


    you or you willmit suicide.”


    “Would he… Care?”


    “He must unless he wishes to be known as ungrateful,” Scarlette said with a sneer.


    udia bit her lip in response.


    “Mother knows best. You only have one chance to force him to marry you. Even if he

    Chapter 366 He Is the Only One I Will Marry


    5/7


    spends the rest of his life angry at you, it would be easy enough for you to win him back


    once you’re married. Men are all like that. Once you control his body, he will not


    remember how you forced him into it.”


    udia was so swayed by her mother’s words that she fantasized about a happy future


    with ric.


    Unfortunately, Scarlette was still unable to contact ric.


    Following that, the mother and daughter patiently waited until their hopes winked out.


    In thete hours of the night, Mr. Johnson, who had been waiting outside the door,


    burst unexpectedly into the room to announce the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Cadogan.


    Scarlette narrowed her eyes when she heard that and asked, “ric’s parents? Aren’t


    they supposed to be abroad?”


    “Yes. They flew back today. When they heard what happened to udia, they rushed


    over as soon as theynded,” Mr. Johnson exined.


    When she heard the Cadogans couple had rushed over, hope sparked to life once more


    in her heart. “Let them in. Hurry.”

    After that, Mr. and Mrs. Cadogan were led into the room.


    As soon as udia saw Mrs. Cadogan, she immediately flung herself into Mrs.


    Cadogan’s arms with a sob. “Mrs. Cadogan!”

    However, Mrs. Cadogan’s body went stiff upon contact. Her arms hovered in midair for


    a few moments before lowering so that she could run her hands through udia’s hair.


    “Life has been hard on you, child.” She didn’t dare to say anything else, and even though


    she knew udia had saved ric, she didn’t particrly like her. Moreover, she did not


    despise udia but didn’t understand why she experienced an innate rejection of her


    closeness whenever udia acted affectionately toward her. In contrast, she did not


    feel the same way about Victoria and loved being affectionate with her. Still… Mrs.


    Cadogan sighed to herself whenever she thought about Victoria. After all, ric and


    Victoria were the perfect couple, and yet they ended up getting divorced.


    After that, Scarlette gave Mrs. Cadogan a quick rundown of what had transpired. Then,


    udia chimed in, “Nothing is going on between me and Christopher! Although I


    appreciate his assistance, I don’t understand why he wants to frame me like this. My


    heart and body belong to ric. He is the only one I will marry.”


    “Don’t panic, child,” Mrs. Cadogan said. While smoothing out udia’s locks, she added,


    “Al had told us to rush back because of what happened to you. Don’t worry. Our family


    owes you a debt. We will not let you suffer.”

    On the other hand, the Cadogans couple did not know why ric called them back.


    However, as soon as theynded, they learned of udia’s suicide and the events that


    transpired on their way to the hospital. Hence, they assumed their son called them

    back to help udia.
