The moment her attacker loosened his grip from the pain, Wren seized her chance and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Since Sebastian had no regard for their past relationship and was treating her this way, she wasn’t going to make things easy for him either!
“What?” Riley’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she’d just heard.
The bodyguard panicked and immediately clamped his hand over Wren’s mouth again, trying to drag her out of the room.
“Stop!” Riley commanded.
The bodyguard froze mid–step.
At the same time, Riley turned to Sebastian. “Let go of me.”
But his arms only tightened around her desperately. “Riley, don’t…”
Riley used all her strength to pry Sebastian’s arms away from her waist.

He stumbled backward two steps, wanting to stop her again, but when their eyes met, he froze completely.
“Sebastian,” she cut in sharply. “I want to hear what Wren has to say. I’ll make my judgment!”
Sebastian’s entire body went rigid, his blood turning to ice in his veins as he watched helplessly.
At the same time, she walked toward Wren, step by agonizing
step.
Sebastian’s face went pale.
No! Please, just stop! Riley, stop!
The words screamed through his mind, but his throat felt blocked entirely–not a single sound could escape.
Riley reached Wren and looked directly at the bodyguard covering Wren’s mouth. “Let go of her.”
The bodyguard hesitated, glancing toward Sebastian for direction, but Sebastian gave no signal.
Riley grabbed the bodyguard’s wrist, forcibly pulled his hand away, then stared at Wren. “Who was in the backseat?”

that car, Riley.
“You’ve been blaming Bella for leaving someone to suffer.
But guess what? Your precious Sebastian did the same damn thing.”
She laughed viciously, not caring about her survival.
If she was going down, she was taking everyone with her.
Riley’s gaze turned ice–cold as she stared at Wren. “You claim it was Sebastian. Got any proof?”
“Proof? Five years ago, Sebastian and I traveled to Germany together. I had my stuff stolen there and filed a police report- Sebastian’s mentioned in those records.
“Plus, you can check what car he was driving and the license plate number. If you managed to track me down here, you can definitely dig up those details!”
Wren’s face twisted with a sick satisfaction.
Riley pressed her lips together tightly, turning to look at Sebastian, standing not far behind her.
The man who was always so composed now stood there, his

Her heart plummeted.
Riley felt her heart sinking deeper and deeper.
Sebastian didn’t deny it.

It meant what Wren was saying right now was probably true.
So the person sitting in the back seat that day really was Sebastian?
“Riley, now that you know Sebastian left Samuel to die, do you know how Samuel begged him? But Sebastian just had someone drag your brother away, didn’t even try to help him once. That’s the kind of cold, heartless person he is. You said you could accept him, but what about now? Can you still accept him?”
Wren’s voice kept echoing.
Riley pressed her lips together harder, the pain in her chest growing stronger and stronger.
Even so, she forced herself to stay calm and walked step by step toward Sebastian. “Let’s go home first.”
She had too many questions that needed answers.

frozen and unable to react, until she took his hand and led him out of the hotel room–only then did he snap back to reality.
“Riley, I…” he mumbled, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.
“We’ll talk when we get home,” Riley said coldly, pulling Sebastian toward the elevator.
The driver immediately opened the car door when he saw them approaching.
After they got in, Riley stayed silent while Sebastian sat beside her, his mind racing for solutions.
The secret he’d fought hardest to keep had been exposed in the worst possible way.
