A vicious glint flashed through Sandra’s eyes. She spat out a curse and lunged forward, her nails aimed at Riley.

Then a voice came from the doorway, low and heavy with authority. “What did you say? Who’s my wife trying to seducer

Sandra felt a wave of ice run down her spine. Her body locked up mid-charge. She turned, trembling, and saw a tall, imposing man standing in the doorway. His face was sharp and cold, and even a single glance was enough to make her blood run cold.

She recognized him instantly. Her face drained of all color, and she stumbled backward in panic, her voice cracking. “Mr. Torres. what are you doing here?”

Sebastian ignored her completely. He walked straight to Riley, and the cold edge in his eyes only softened when they landed on her.

He placed a hand gently on her shoulder. “You okay? Did any of this scare you?” he asked.

Riley looked at him and let out a tired, helpless laugh. “No. But I did get a lot of mud thrown at me.”

The words made Sebastian’s eyes go even colder.

He let go of her shoulder, turned around, and stared down at Stephen and Sandra from his full height. “You were saying,” he repeated. “My wife was trying to seduce whom?”

Stephen had been scrambling to deal with his wife’s sudden ambush. Then he heard Sebastian’s voice and saw Riley standing unharmed. Everything suddenly clicked into place. His face drained of color, and his knees nearly buckled.

“Mr. Torres… Ms. Harper is your wife?” he stammered.

Sebastian’s lips twisted into a cold, mocking smirk. He slid an arm around Riley’s shoulders and pulled her close effortlessly.

“That’s right,” he said. “She’s the chairman of Harper Group’s newly returned daughter. You think you’re all that? I don’t get it. Why would she glance your way when she’s already with me?”

The gap between Stephen and Sebastian was staggering. Money did not even factor in. Just in looks and bearing, Stephen could

not hold a candle to him.

If Riley had been some random office worker, Sandra might have clung to her theory about the scheming temptress.

Sebastian had just stood there and publicly called her his wife. What was more, she was the famous Harper heiress all over Nexopolis.

The Harpers rivaled the Torreses in power and status. She had also won over the city’s most hard-to-reach tycoon.

Years in Nexopolis taught Sandra just how influential the Harper name was. She knew well the story of the chairman’s long-lost daughter and his deep fondness for her.

The two revelations struck her hard. Horror filled her, and her eyes flew wide. Her mind raced through every lie Stephen had spun about Riley. Her husband had angered Nexopolis’ two strongest families at the same time.

“Stephen! You worthless piece of trash!” Sandra was shaking with rage. She wound up and slapped him across the face as hard as she could, her voice cracking with fury and fear. “Are you insane?! You weren’t just harassing Ms. Harper-you also had the gall to accuse her of being into you?! Do you have any idea what kind of disaster you just brought down on us?!”

the Dap sent Stephen stumbling. His cheek swelled instantly, burning red. He clutched his face, completely stunned, staring at ho wife’s sudden transformation. He hadn’t imagined that his desperate blame shifting could backfire this spectacularly

Sandra saw him barely standing and felt no relief from her terror She wasn’t about to this stupidity drag her and her family down with him. She made her choice on the spot, spun around, and bowed deeply to Riley.

“Ms. Harper, I am so sorry! I was/completely out of line. I believed Stepherr’s garbage without thinking. It’s just he pulls this kind of thing all the time, and I lost my head. Please don’t hold it against me. Please!”

Riley raised an eyebrow at the transformation from raging bully to groveling apology, She didn’t feel any real anger toward Sandra. The woman had been lied to first and had exploded in a blind rage.

She stepped forward unhurriedly, her voice calm but cutting. “I’ve heard Mrs. Baker is a decisive woman who runs a tight ship at home. So why do you still stay with a husband like this? He’s nothing but trash, after all.”
