Chapter 10\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany kept replaying everything in her head, attempting to figure out where things had gone wrong. How could she have made such a mistake?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The most ridiculous part was that she had already registered a marriage with the man standing in front of her, the heir of the Brennan family. Bethany took a deep breath and said calmly, \u201cThank you, Mr. Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas smiled meaningfully. \u201cDon\u2019t mention it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shifted his gaze to Gary and asked, \u201cAre you here for a family gathering, Mr. Reid?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, something like that.\u201d Gary didn\u2019t want to discuss the marriage alliance with the Brannons, fearing others might see it as him selling off his daughter\u2013especially since she was his wife\u2019s child from a previous marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas noticed his reluctance to dwell on the subject. \u201cI see. I have another dinner engagement, so please excuse me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, before he left, his dark eyes lingered on Bethany for a brief moment. Bethany forced herself to remain calm, though she couldn\u2019t help but wonder if the dinner with the Brannons was still necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once he was out of sight, Gary muttered, \u201cMr. Brennan must be in a good mood today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas had never addressed him so politely at social functions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana urged, \u201cEnough talking. Let\u2019s go. The Brannons must be growing impatient.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pushed open the private room door with Bethany. Fortunately, Cyrus wasn\u2019t there yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cyrus\u2018 mother, Emma Sterling, smiled warmly. \u201cI\u2019m terribly sorry, Diana. My son couldn\u2019t make it today. However, his father and I are here. It doesn\u2019t really matter if he\u2019s here or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis must be Beth. She\u2019s beautiful!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emma was quite pleased with Bethany. Considering her son\u2019s reputation, it would already be a relief if he could marry a woman from a decent family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Bethany was Diana\u2019s daughter. Even though she came from Diana\u2019s previous marriage, she still had ties to the Reid family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary smiled as he exchanged pleasantries with Cyrus\u2018 father, Lance Brannon, while Bethany sat there in a daze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, her phone lit up. It was a text message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas: \u201cI\u2019m sorry. Can we talk tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany lowered her gaze and bit her lip. She replied, \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They needed to talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was both annoyed and close to tears over her own stupidity. She had gone and registered a marriage with a complete stranger, only to realize that she had married the wrong man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas was hardly innocent either. He had known from the start that she wasn\u2019t his blind date, yet he had never corrected her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, Silas fell completely out of favor in Bethany\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s on your mind, Beth?\u201d Diana shot her a pointed look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany forced a smile. \u201cNothing. My company just called me back. I\u2019m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Brannon, but I\u2019ll have to excuse myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s expression changed in an instant. She was about to reprimand her when Gary stopped her with a look.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBe careful on the way, Beth,\u201d he said kindly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany practically bolted out of the private room. The tight, suffocating feeling in her chest only let up a little when she\u00a0<\/p>\n
reached the entrance of the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a familiar Bugatti pulled up at the entrance with its hazard lights flashing. Her phone rang the very next second,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet in,\u201d Silas said curtly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany walked over reluctantly. \u201cLet\u2019s get a divorce, Mr. Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 profile hardened in the car. \u201cSave it. Let\u2019s talk when we get home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was rendered speechless. He was the one who had caused all this, and now he was telling her to shut up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, when she noticed the veins protruding on the back of his hand as he gripped the steering wheel, she decided not to provoke him further. Her safety came first, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
