Chapter: 22
Realizing his mistake, Anthony decided to buy a new ring and re-propose to Claudia.

He had it all figured out, but a curveball had been thrown his way. He never saw it coming. Claudia was now married to Bennett.

The picture Peyton sent was disheartening. The newlyweds seemed ecstatic, a picture-perfect couple.

As if predicting his doubts about the marriage certificate, Peyton had followed up with a screenshot of a statement from the Segarine Group's official Twitter handle.

It was officially sealed.

The truth was undeniable.

Suddenly, Anthony's face drained of color and his mind froze in terror.

He wiped the cold beads of sweat accumulating on his forehead.

Somehow, he had a gut feeling that things were about to get worse.

Anthony had tossed his phone aside carelessly, ignoring the pile of unread messages Peyton had sent his way.

Strapping himself into his car, he set a course for the Marshall residence.

Meanwhile, Claudia's Twitter was bursting at the seams with fresh comments. So many that her phone would freeze upon trying to access it.

She planned to log into her Twitter account one or two days later. In any case, what had happened was already a direct blow to Delilah's reputation.

Famed as a striking young author due to her company’s promotional tactics, Delilah was known for her carefully crafted, emotive Twitter posts, baiting her followers for praises.

Today, she had tactically bought the trending search spot on Twitter, just to get under Claudia's skin.

But the tide had turned. The focal point was now Claudia's marriage with Bennett. In a snap, Claudia transformed from a pitied bride to the respected Mrs. Dreskin, which proved to be a fierce backhand to Delilah's vanity.

Delilah was left with no option but to choke down her embarrassment and indignity.

Claudia reveled in imagining Delilah's seething fury, a surge of exhilaration rushing through her veins, the likes of which she'd never felt before.

If only her Leg was fully healed, she'd be rolling with laughter on her bed.

She was ecstatic!

With this joy overwhelming her, Claudia felt a desire to express it through music.

However, as she set her phone down in the piano room, it lit up with an incoming message.
