Chapter 998
Chapter 997:
They had literally just started their relationship and were supposed to be in the sweet phase. Elliana definitely didn’t want him to cast her out of the car.
With that thought in mind, Elliana put on her sweetest smile. “I understand completely. From this moment forward, my world only has room for you. No past relationships, and certainly no future ones either p>
Her response clearly delighted him beyond measure. The storm clouds that had been gathering on his face immediately cleared away, replaced by a satisfied smile that made his whole expression brighten.
“That ring belongs to me,” Cole continued with obvious pleasure. “No one else has the authority to give it to you—only I have that right. You’re my woman now, which automatically makes you the First Lady of Blaze Wildfire. It’s perfectly natural for you to keep the ring. Wear it with pride p>
Elliana felt her heart flutter with unexpected emotion. Was he actually giving her the ring as a gift? She’d never imagined that even without his memories, Cole would fall in love with her all over again and develop such deep trust so quickly. He was even willing to give her the ring that symbolized ultimate power within Blaze Wildfire, essentially placing the entire organization in her hands. The overwhelming sweetness of being loved this deeply delighted her.
“Then I’ll gladly accept it!” Elliana beamed.
Cole gave her a satisfied look and then added, “Being my woman means you need to get comfortable with confidently asking me for whatever you want. If you start acting hesitant p>
“Or shy about it, you can expect to find yourself walking home from wherever we happen to be p>
Elliana couldn’t help but marvel internally. Cole had to be absolutely one of a kind in this entire world—he was even demanding and controlling about how he spoiled the women in his life. He made it sound as if she’d be committing some terrible crime by refusing his generosity, as if that would prove she wasn’t worthy of being his partner. Since he seemed to get such genuine joy from showering her with expensive gifts and authority, she was more than happy to let him do exactly that.
With this delightful realization, she slipped her hand into her pocket to touch the ring, a small but deeply satisfied smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she felt completely at peace with keeping such a precious treasure. Neither of them spoke another word for the rest of the drive.
Your next adventure is at. con
An hour later, Cole’s sleek car pulled through the gates of Harmony Estate.
At exactly the same moment, Wanda’s car also arrived at the property.
Eva was standing near the large living room window, gazing outside, when she spotted both vehicles driving up the long driveway. Wanda’s car was slightly ahead, with Cole’s expensive car following close behind.
Through Cole’s windshield, Eva could clearly see that Lilah was sitting in the passenger seat. Her heart tightened.
Milton’s explosive social media post had sent shockwaves across the internet, and Eva had witnessed the chaos. The revelation hit her so hard that she couldn’t stop her hands from shaking. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Lilah was actually the long-lost Campbell heiress—the girl Arthur and Milton had been desperately searching for all these years. The child of Arthur’s one true love from decades past.
Looking back now, Eva realized how foolish she’d been when she angrily confronted Cole about deceiving her. The truth was that Cole had known Lilah’s real identity from the very beginning and simply hadn’t bothered to share that information with her. This nephew of hers had never shown her an ounce of genuine respect.
