Chapter 260
260 The Ring Behind Her Back
They quickly looked away.
The action was so obvious that even Wyatt caught it out of the corner of his eye.
Without a word, he turned slightly to look behind Yunice. His expression grew cold.
So cold that Yunice could feel it.
Finished
She tilted her head up to look at him, still smiling, but that smile froze when she saw the look on his face.
She had a feeling that something was wrong behind her, so she instinctively reached back.
Wyatt stopped her, his voice calm.
“Don’t move.”
He reached behind her and removed something, holding it in his hand.
A few seconds later, his friends resumed their cheerfulness, but it felt forced.
Yunice could clearly sense that something wasn’t right. Her heart began to race.
Until the end of the banquet, her eyes occasionally glanced at Wyatt’s closed fist.
As the guests began to leave, the successful completion of the wedding banquet was a relief to
everyone.
Amyra pulled Bale aside, her expression serious as she opened her mouth to speak. But Bale cut her off before she could say anything.
“Don’t ask . Don’t get yourself into trouble.”
Even without the explanation, Amyra understood. It was exactly what I had feared .
Yunice lifted her wedding dress and followed Wyatt.
“What about Gill? Did you get her to the hospital? ”
Wyatt stopped and turned around.
“Now you remember your dear Gill ? ”
Yunice felt the change in his tone and froze , staring at him.
Then Wyatt looked down slightly.

Finished
She had noticed the ring missing during the toast and figured it must have been lost during the confrontation with Paul.
Trying to remain calm, she replied, “I think I know where I dropped it. Come with me;; we cam find it. Actually, Paul… Before she could finish, Wyatt opened his palm to her.
Yunice looked down. The blood drained from her face instantly, anger rising in her chest like a punch to the heart.
Wyatt asked, “Was that part of your little mission, too?”
Yunice’s entire body went still, her gaze locked coldly on his.
I knew exactly what he meant..
I had heard all the rumors about myself again and again.
And I knew what misstor mat
They meant that I was the kind of girl who liked to play rough , who got off on twisted power games ..
That I called Paul “ Master” begged him to give her humiliating tasks, things too shameful to talk about , and the more degrading, the more I enjoyed them.
The niche role–playing stuff
Yunice wanted to explain. But the moment Wyatt asked her that question, she realized he was no different than the others. The thought alone filled her with bitter resistance.
His attitude made me too tired to even care
The fact that he could ask meant that he’d already labeled mae in his mind. And I’d seen this scenario too many times …
Each time it was someone I thought I could trust asking the same question, and each time Ltried to prove my innocence — stammering, justifying, explaining.
I didn’t do those things.
But no one ever believed me.
Everyone just followed the crowd and painted me as a liar, a fraud, and a disgrane.
Yunice reached out and took the raffia grass ring from Wyatt’s hand.
It was the same ring she’d thrown in the trash earlier. This time she tore it in half, then ripped it to shreds with a steady hand, without even blinking,

春
I had found the ring hooked to the zipper on the back of Yunice’s wedding dress .
The position told everything
How could a ring end up on the zipper of her dress?
Only if someone had been behind her, hastily zipping up her dress.
And everyone recognized that raffia grass ring. It belonged to Paul Powell .
This detail wasn’t even a secret.
Even my friends knew.
Finisher
The upper echelons of Silverburgh were small. Years ago, during a yacht party filled with all the elite young heirs, everyone had witnessed Yunice’s grand gesture, diving into the sea alone just to retrieve this ring as a symbol of her love for Paul
It had become a story they would never forgeL
What Paul destroyed today wasn’t just Wyatt’s impression of Yunice. He destroyed her standing in Wyatt’s entire social circle.
Only now did Yunice understand.
All Paul had done was to panic me, make me scramble, and then trap me.
I had been so focused on minimizing Wyatt’s laws that I had failed to check for weaknesses in myself .
