My Fiancé Sent Me To Another Man On Our Wedding Day Chapter 23
The next day, the Hawthorne family lawyers laid out every one of the Bennetts’ matured debts.
Millions of dollars.
Every loan was dated, signed, and recorded.
For years, Margot’s father had been stalling with his story about “sending his daughter,” but he had never made a single serious payment.
Conrad flipped to the last page and looked at me.
“Do you want to extend their grace period?”
I thought back to what I had overheard the night before my wedding.
*The Bennetts are bankrupt. They owe the Hawthornes millions.*
Rafael had chosen me to solve Margot’s problem.
From that moment on, every single one of them had decided I was the one who could be sacrificed.
“No.” I picked up a pen and signed the document. “The people who owe the debt should face the consequences.”
The Bennett family’s assets quickly went into liquidation.
When the news broke, Margot’s father took to Twitter.
He claimed the Hawthornes had used debt to force a marriage, taken his daughter, and were now trying to ruin his entire family.
The story exploded online.
Trolls dug up the fact that I had married into the Hawthorne family in Margot’s place and called me a gold digger who had stolen her spot.
Some even claimed my child was of dubious origin, just a bargaining chip to secure my position.
When Chloe saw the comments, she was furious.
“These people don’t know anything. What gives them the right to talk about you like that?”
