Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 121

“From now on, wherever Graceline Technologies or my fiancée, Grace, is present, I never want to see this woman’s face again.”

“Understand?”

“Yes, Mr. Clarke!”

Following Damien's orders without a moment's hesitation, several bodyguards moved forward and seized Lilian, who was still in a daze.

“No! You can't do this to me! Mr. Clarke! Everything I said is true!”

Lilian was mercilessly dragged out, her screams quickly fading beyond the door.

A strange atmosphere settled over the banquet hall.

Damien, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

He turned and strode over to Grace.

As everyone watched in shock, he wrapped his long arms around the cool, strong woman, pulling her into his embrace.

Damien lifted her face, his thumb gently stroking the corner of her eye, his own eyes filled with heartache.

“Those photos… they’re from your past. A past I wasn’t a part of.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room. His voice wasn’t loud, but it resonated with authority.

“I don’t care whose wife she was before, and I don’t care who she used to love.”

“All I know is that from this day forward, Grace is my fiancée, the person I will spend the rest of my life protecting.”

“As for certain people…”
