“Did I hear that correctly? You want Dylan? Didn’t we switch identities? Emily’s fiancé is Max now. She was just parading him around in front of me! You haven’t even sorted out the wedding with the Holt family, and now you’re setting your sights on my fiancé?”
The Sterlings’ expressions turned grim.
They knew they were in the wrong, but in their eyes, fifty thousand dollars to a destitute family like the Whelans was a fortune. Surely, that was enough to trade for a fiancé.
Thomas spoke up, attempting to sound reasonable. “Elena, fifty thousand is a significant sum. You can find a better man with that money. Why hold onto Dylan? He was originally Emily’s fiancé, and while your identities have been swapped, I believe the engagement should remain with the original arrangement.”
Unbelievable.
Where was their shame?
How could they even say such things aloud?
They had been humiliated by the Holts, so now they were targeting Dylan. The family’s calculations were transparent—they thought she was an easy target.
The Sterlings were desperate. Their financial stability was crumbling, currently propped up entirely by their third son’s entertainment career and endorsements. Realizing Dylan was actually a Sinclair, they wanted to latch onto the Sinclair family’s immense influence to save themselves.
Seeing Elena’s silence, Melissa added, “Fifty thousand isn’t a small amount. The money the Sterling family is giving you is enough to support the Whelans for a long time. Elena, listen to me. I wouldn’t harm you. After all, you were my daughter for eighteen years. I treated you with sincerity then; why would I harm you now?”
A pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
