When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 108

Carola stared at her phone in disbelief. How on earth were Latham and Dorothea getting married? These two had nothing in common. It just didn’t make sense.

“Dad, you’re joking, right? Didn’t you say the arranged marriage was supposed to be with Mr. Stevens?”

Layton let out a long sigh. Honestly, if he could choose, he’d rather Dorothea be marrying Harper right now.

“Dorothea’s got skills. She found this match herself. I could never convince the Stephens family to agree to anything.”

That only made Carola feel worse. She ended the call and sat there for a minute, trying to calm down.

If Albert found out about this, she knew exactly how he’d react. Men and their pride were impossible to predict, but she knew Albert’s possessive streak and how much he hated to lose.

If Dorothea was marrying just any guy, Albert might not even care. He’d just feel a little insulted and brush it off. But Latham... Latham was his biggest rival. The thought of Albert losing his mind over this made Carola’s head spin. She had to keep this a secret, at least until Dorothea and Latham made it public. She needed to marry Albert before then, no matter what.

...

By the time the video had been with the police for half a day, the atmosphere at the hotel was tense. The manager on duty looked worried.

“Dorothea, do you think the police could’ve been bribed by Albert?”

Dorothea shook her head. “I don’t think so. Let’s give it a little more time. We have to trust them.”

A little while later, the internet drama finally broke. All the rumors dragging The Gresham’s name through the mud were cleared up with a single statement.

[After investigation, we’ve confirmed that Larry staged the whole incident with the broken violin. The Gresham was not involved. Police will continue to look into the matter.]
