Connor erupted: "What ex-boyfriend! I'm your current boyfriend!"
"My fiancé is missing, does it have anything to do with you?"
"No!"
"If it's you, please let him go. He's innocent. He paid so much of my family's debt and saved my parents' lives. I'm very grateful to him, so I'm begging you, please don't make things difficult for him."
Connor's heart was suddenly torn apart!
The pain reddened his eyes and silenced his voice.
Is money that important?
Important enough that she's willing to beg him to let that old man go!
The call got disconnected at some point, and Connor felt not only his limbs going numb, but even his mind.
In a daze, he heard Natalie Niles say in an indifferent tone: "I've won, Emmett Price, from today on, you're mine."
He didn't want to hear this voice; it was this voice that tore his heart to shreds.
"Get out."
Natalie Niles knew when to stop, so she turned and left his hospital room.
