“Look for someone? Who?" Karina inquired, curiosity piqued.

“A man," Kennedi murmured, her grip on the glass slightly tightening.

The atmosphere in the room changed as they picked up on Kennedi's tense tone. ennedi, are you looking for your boyfriend?" Maggie asked. es."

“And have you found him?“ Karina pressed.

“I have, but sadly, he's fallen for someone else," Kennedi confessed, her eyes growing misty.

Recognizing her deep sorrow, Karina reached out to comfort her.

"Your boyfriend must be blind. It's a blessing you saw his true colors early, saving yourself from more heartache,"

Kennedi's eyes welled up, and Maggie quickly handed her a tissue.

Kennedi sniffed, dabbing her eyes with the tissue.

“But it's heartbreaking. He was so warm and kind when we met. I thought he loved me, but he had an ulterior motive for getting close to me and even hurt my family. I want to hate him, but I can't stop loving him.”

Her confession left the three of them stunned.

“Wait, are you serious? How could anyone be so cruel? He didn't just use you. He's an absolute monster!" Karina exclaimed, her outrage reverberating in the room.

Through her tears, Kennedi turned to Karina.

“What should I do, Karina?"

What should she do?

Karina glanced at Rosalynn, not knowing what to say.

Rosalynn stared at Kennedi and asked carefully, "Kennedi, why did this man intentionally get close to you? Did he hold a grudge against your family?"

With tears clouding her vision, Kennedi gently dabbed at her damp cheeks with a crumpled tissue. Her eyelashes fluttered, fragile like wings against the storm of her sorrow.

“He doesn't want me; he wants my dad's company. He cast me aside once he took control of my dad's business. Then he pursued the woman who truly held his heart."

Furious, Karina gasped in disbelief, “Can such a despicable man even exist? This is sheer villainy. Kennedi, do you still have feelings for him? If I were in your shoes, I'd make him pay dearly."

Meeting Karina's eyes with her tear-streaked gaze, Kennedi asked, "If you were me, you'd want revenge too, wouldn't you?"

"Absolutely!" Karina declared without hesitation.
