    “Madam, don’t be upset. The young master has been tied up with business recently. He’ll probably be


    better once he’s finished.” The maid tried tofort Ca, noticing her upset expression.


    Feeling a surge of emotion, Ca retreated to her bedroom, her eyes welling with tears as she took in


    the sight of the carefully arranged marital suite.


    The news of William’s absence on their first night was impossible to keep under wraps.


    The Salter family was livid, confronting William.


    But William was no longer the puppet he once was. Facing Anthony Salter, he said, “If you think I’m not


    treating your sister well, you are free to apply for an annulment.”


    “William, you…” Anthony, furious and exasperated, continued, “My sister has done nothing wrong. It’s


    you who have done such a thing. It’s a mercy we didn’t send you to jail.”

    “Why don’t you ask your sister about the real events?”


    William brushed Anthony off, no longer the gentleman he once was, as he continued to say, “Anthony,


    we’ve known each other for over twenty years. Do you think I would do such a thing just because I had


    a few drinks?”


    Stunned, Anthony left after a long silence.


    Anthony confronted Ca who atst confessed that William had done nothing wrong and that she had


    initiated it.


    “Ca, have you lost your mind? You’ve pushed him awaypletely!”


    William was stoic, but he was a man. He was falsely used of being a “rapist”, ostracized, and forced


    into marriage. How could he be okay with all of that?


    “Bro, I didn’t mean to do that. I just love him too much to miss that golden opportunity,” Ca choked,


    “I’ll make it up to him.”


    Anthony scolded his younger sister, “How could you be so naive?”


    The siblings kept the truth hidden. Ca tolerated William’s coldness and avoidance. Nearly half a


    month into their marriage, William had hardly been home. He hadn’t even set foot in the Salter family


    home.–


    When that news reached Ca’s friends, they ridiculed her.


    Meanwhile, Brittany and her friend Kari Malone were having coffee after meeting with a client when


    they heard the gossip.


    “Ca, how are things between you and Mr. Dillion?”


    A troublemaker deliberately picked a fight, “We heard Mr. Dillion hasn’t even been home since he got


    married. Doesn’t he like you?”


    “Is it true what happened at the wedding?. If he really did something illegal, why didn’t you call the


    police? Is such a man even worth it?”


    “Mr. Dillion seemed like a gentleman. He even dated Brittany. Did he do something dirty with her too?”


    One by one, they kept on using William.


    Ca sat silently.


    “Shut up!”


    Brittany couldn’t stand it anymore. She jumped up, walked over to the gossipers, and grabbed the


    closest woman, “Have you ever interacted with William? What right do you have to judge him?”


    “I… everyone knows what William did.”


    The woman turned pale with fear when she saw Brittany’s annoyed face,


    It’smon knowledge. Even Ca doesn’t deny it. What is Brittany so worked up about?


    Ca didn’t expect to see Brittany there. She reflexively gripped her coffee cup.


    “Unless you have evidence, keep your mouth shut. What kind of person William is doesn’t need your


    commentary. If I hear such talk again, I’ll make sure you can’t survive in Imperial City!”


    The woman stuttered, “Understood.”
