Just then, a sharp laughter erupted nearby:
"Haha! Landon, this is the person you risked your life for!"
"When your company was in crisis, I was the only one who offered you a helping hand! You've hunted me for three years, yet I never held it against you!"
"You deserve it! I was so good to you, but you were blind to it. I loved you so much, but your eyes were always on that woman!"
Penelope ranted like a madwoman, Ethan holding her with a chilling expression.
Landon could no longer hear anything; he saw Amber, truly leaving him behind.
"And you! Amber, why do you get to bear the Nolan name while I have to follow my mother's? Why am I older, yet you're the Nolan family's heiress?!"
"Why, just because you bore Landon a child, he chased me relentlessly, when I was supposed to be his fiancée... What's so good about you!"
Amber gave her a look, not bothering to speak. It was beneath her to argue with trash.
Voices approached from afar, Landon's backup arriving.
Ethan hurried away with Penelope, only her ghostly laughter echoing in the wilderness.
Amber and Sawyer also left, Landon watching their paired figures as he suddenly laughed too.
Yes, he had committed so many wrongs, how could he beg for forgiveness?
Sawyer was a capable man, probably capable of protecting Amber. If he truly loved her, they would surely be happy.
It was fine; as long as she was alive, as long as she was happy...
His vision darkened, and Landon lost consciousness the next second.
Sawyer drove back to the press conference at breakneck speed, the accelerator pressed to the floor, reflecting his excitement.
Amidst such tension, Amber's heart gradually calmed.
She began to cool down, feeling the intense pain.
Landon's figure lingered. Unwilling to admit it, but falling into his arms brought her a profound sense of belonging.
That warmth, fleeting yet precious.
"Amber, Where do you wish to held the wedding? And where shall we go honeymoon? Oh, I heard..."
"Sawyer."
Sawyer was rambling excitedly when Amber suddenly called his name, calm and serious.
Sawyer vaguely knew what she was about to say.
As shrewd as he was, how could he miss the reluctance in Amber's eyes?
He pretended ignorance as long as she didn't say it, willing to take advantage of the mistake, even if Amber marrying him was just to make Landon regret.
But if she refused, he couldn't pretend anymore.
"Amber, do you know, hearing those words made me incredibly happy. I felt like the luckiest man on earth."
Sawyer's voice choked.
Amber realized how cruel her exploitation was to him.
"But I know, you can't let him go that easily."
"After all, you once loved him." His implied meaning was, you never loved me, so it's natural for you to hurt me.
Amber suddenly felt for his understanding nature.
