forgiven," he mused, "others send you straight to hell."
Susan thought she was summoned to explain herself, but as he gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers and
scrutinized her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Eliza's, it becclear that explanations were the
least of his concerns. "Smistakes can be "Casper, Eliza isn't dead, and | haven't caused a major disaster.
Please, letgo, and I'll be grateful for the rest of my life," Susan pleaded, tears streaming down her face
uncontrollably, fragile as a jasmine swaying in the wind.
"Crocodile tears don't earn sympathy," he said, dismissing her with a flick of his fingers, his gaze returning to the
five bottles on the table. "Pick one to start."
"I don't want to," Susan stammered, trying to flee.
Dillon was quick to act, pinning her down to the table, "Ms. Susan, will you do the honors, or shall | assist you?"
"Please, letgo, Casper..." Susan was terrified.
Each bottle promised agony; to consall five was unthinkable.
"Casper, my father can pay you. He can even give you the entire Torres Group. I'm the only daughter of the

from terror and evasion. But she was unaware that Ronan would never hand over the Torres Group to Casper for
her sake.
"Ms. Susan, you seem to be mistaken. How could you be Mr. Ronan's only daughter?" Dillon pulled out his phone,
showing her a photo of a family of four, "Doesn't he have two sons as well?"
Susan's pupils dilated in disbelief.
Sons? He had another family?
What did that make her and her mother? Lies? Deception?
Betrayal or exploitation?
"Why would he do this to us? How could he betray my mother, why..." Susan's voice broke as she struggled like a
caged animal, Dillon barely holding her down, "Ms. Susan, to Ronan, you were merely a pawn for an alliance. If a
pawn makes a wrong move, being sacrificed is part of his plan. Do you understand?"
A laugh of despair escaped Susan. She understood now.
She was not the cherished jewel but a sacrificial piece of the Torres family, informed on her twentieth birthday of
her arranged marriage with the Welton family. Even after e discovering Jeffrey Welton's annulment letter, she
was deceived into believing the engagement stood as long as the Torres family agreed.
Foolishly, she had fallen for Casper at first sight, visiting the Welton family, blinded by infatuation.
She sought love, losing her rationale, making mistakes, while Ronan aimed to leech off the Welton family for his
illegitimate sons.
No one stood by her.
A pawn? Now, she was nothing but a discarded piece.
