He was the president of the Segarine Group, having taken over the position five years ago. Even Jace would find it challenging to secure an audience with him.

Yet here he was, visiting Claudia's hospital room.

Aurora's gaze fell on Claudia, resting on the hospital bed, and the situation seemed inexplicably strange.

Cece had crossed paths with Bennett only a handful of times. What could he possibly want with her now?

Shaking off her thoughts, Aurora questioned, “Cece, what brought Bennett here?"

“He was the one who hit me last night. He came to discuss compensation." see." Aurora acknowledged, appearing to understand the situation “What did you tell him?"

Claudia appeared lost in thought. As she was about to reply, a silhouette appeared in the doorway. “Cece!”

It was Anthony!

Before Claudia could respond, Aurora sprang to her feet and yelled, “Leave! We don't need your hypocrisy!"

Anthony remained silent, his gaze focused on Claudia.

He was confident Claudia would ask him to stay.

But this time, Claudia remained silent even as Anthony was pushed out of the ward by Aurora.

Jace, having awoken by then, spotted Anthony and stormed towards him, landing a slap on his face. "How dare you show your face here? Leave at once! You're not worthy of my daughter! Get out now!”

From his position by the door of the hospital room, Anthony could see Claudia through the window on the door. He found her looking back at him.

As she looked at him, her normally warm gaze turned icy and emotionless.

Anthony's forehead creased. He understood Claudia was genuinely furious this time.

After one more fleeting glance at him, Claudia averted her eyes.

Anthony bolted from his own wedding, and then there were photos of him and Delilah sharing a close embrace.

Overnight, Claudia became a Laughingstock, mocked by everyone in town.

“I was under the impression they had a solid bond. They've known each other for about twelve years. It's surprising to find out that Anthony's affection for Claudia was nothing more than a sham and her own delusion."

"Talk about the world's most unfortunate bride, eh? The groom ditches his own wedding and when she pursued him, she ended up in a car crash.

She's currently confined in a hospital! That's a massive setback for her, both emotionally and physically!"
