It was time to expose Ella’s lies about her muteness.
Nick firmly believed that Ella’s love for him was pure. Even as she cried and shouted about his betrayal, he’d only sighed, saying, “She’s just passionate–about us”
But how would he react once he saw through her lies?
Julian had already stationed some of his people close to Nick. With a few subtle moves, it wasn’t difficult to get a “mute” woman to speak.

Ella screamed, “What are you doing?!” instinctively scolding, “Can’t you do your job properly?!”
“Quit pretending, Ella!” shouted someone off–camera. “You’re not mute!”
Ella’s face twisted, and her live audience witnessed her so–called muteness fall apart. Her carefully crafted “tragic girl” image shattered overnight.
Those who had once pitied her now felt nothing but disgust. I wish I’d seen Nick’s reaction when he found out.
For days, the Holt mansion was filled with arguments, sobs, and accusations.
Nick soon appeared before his grandfather, dropping to his knees: “I want to call off the engagement with this woman!”
