Fiona was confused. Typically, heirs of wealthy families would not marry a woman viewed negatively by others. Vincent had wealth and influence, and plenty of first-time brides to choose from, so why choose someone considered undesirable?

This was the reason Fiona had not hesitated to drug Katelyn the previous night.

To learn now that Vincent and Katelyn were actually together came as an immense surprise to Fiona.

Vincent replied with a cold sneer, “Whether Katelyn is my woman or merely an employee, you have no right to touch her.”

At that moment, a menacing presence radiated from him. Memories of the previous night haunted Vincent, and he trembled to think what might have happened if he had arrived even a minute later.

Vincent couldn’t grasp the idea that the potential damage to Katelyn was beyond imagination.

Mark was left even more stunned. He had unknowingly hurt Vincent’s woman. He swallowed hard and asked Vincent, “Is that woman more preferable than Princess Ryanna? You actually love her that much?”

Ryanna was a princess from the kingdom of Yata. Why would Vincent choose such a woman over Ryanna?

Mark was beyond confused. Any sensible man would have made the obvious choice, yet Vincent went against all logic. He was at a loss to understand it.

Vincent settled onto the sofa, staring at the siblings kneeling before him.

He instructed Samuel, “Samuel, get to it.”

Samuel bowed with respect and answered, “Yes, sir.”

Fear surged through Fiona, causing her to ask quickly, “What are you planning?”

But Vincent remained silent.

Soon after, Samuel returned with the entire financial history of the Robles family and laid it out before Vincent. Included were records of tax evasion and questionable transactions. The documentation covered everything in detail, leaving nothing out.

Mark’s face went pale as he glanced at the records, unsure of Vincent’s intentions. Overwhelmed with fear, he crawled toward Vincent, pleading, “Mr. Adams, please, forgive us! Had I known Katelyn was your woman, I would have never touched her.”

Mark was now filled with regret, wishing he could punish himself for his mistake. Out of all possible people, he had wronged Katelyn.

Vincent glanced at Mark with indifference and replied calmly, “Begging me now? It’s too late.”

He then turned to Samuel and instructed, “Call the tax bureau.”

Samuel had barely made the call when a group burst in. Leading them was Chester Robles, head of the Robles family and Fiona’s father. He arrived with his team and immediately noticed Vincent seated on the sofa. His expression darkened as he grasped the complexity of the situation.

Just then, Mark scrambled toward Chester, pleading, “Dad, please save our family! If this goes on, we’ll lose everything!”

If those documents were submitted, the entire Robles family would face prison time. He was just beginning his life and couldn’t bear the thought of imprisonment.

Chester gazed at Mark, his face filled with clear disappointment. His son’s actions had led to this disaster.

In a fit of anger, Chester kicked Mark, shouting, “You’ve caused such a mess, and you dare beg me? Move aside!”
