Scapegoat Bride

Summary

At the corporate gala, Ryan Albright’s assistant, without any sense of propriety, splashed a glass of wine on an investor and then publicly berated him.

To retaliate, the investor demanded Vanessa personally atone for it, or he would withdraw his investment.

To ensure the company's successful public listing, Ryan handed me a drink that he’d spiked, then pushed me forward to smooth things over.

He looked at me, his eyes filled with a struggling reluctance.

“Vanessa is different from you. She just graduated; she’s pure and innocent.”
