We froze. Simon.
He stormed into the venue like a bull in a china shop, looking disheveled and wild. He should have been recovering at home, but instead, he’d shown up to ruin everything.
Philip, furious, immediately barked orders. to the bodyguards to restrain Simon.
He pointed a finger at him, his face red with anger.
“You ungrateful brat!” Philip roared, his voice seething with fury. “What in God’s name are you doing here, causing a scene. on your uncle’s wedding day?”
He stormed toward Simon, his every word dripping with disdain. “If you don’t leave this instant, you can forget about ever becoming CEO of the Hughes family!”
For the first time in years, Simon didn‘ t

“I don‘ t need it!” he spat, his words. venomous and final. “I don’t care about being CEO anymore.” His gaze locked on mine, burning with desperation. “I only want Bianca.”
I froze, stunned, as I struggled to make sense of what he was saying. My heart raced, the room spinning around me as Simon’s voice rose, filled with frantic

“If you come back to me,” Simon went on, ignoring the tension in the air, “I’ll work hard to give you everything Daniel can! I swear, I will!”
If I hadn’t been reborn, maybe his words would have meant something to me.

Security rushed to him, but by then, Daniel and I were already focused on each other, and our future was clear.
After we officially tied the knot, Simon didn t back off. He caused a massive scene at the Hughes family house, but no one was surprised anymore. His actions only confirmed how lost he was.
In the end, he left Hughes Enterprises and
