I waited eagerly for the happy moment, picturing when we would walk hand in hand down the aisle.
However, ever since Ellie entered the Coleman Group six months ago, Morgan's attitude toward me had noticeably changed. He treated Ellie extremely well. He always put her needs first and ignored mine.
Later, I found out that Ellie was Morgan's childhood sweetheart. However, when the Coleman Family was on the brink of bankruptcy, Ellie left him decisively. After the Coleman Group made a comeback, Ellie had come back on her own initiative.
Ellie had seen me as her love rival, but she never clashed with me openly. Instead, she started to scheme against me behind the scenes.
I had decided to give Morgan one last chance. If Morgan kicked Ellie out of the company and ceased all contact with her before our wedding next month, I would not use his past with Ellie against him.
But who would have thought he would lock me in this car, exposed to the blazing sun, just for the sake of Ellie's dog? Didn't he realize his action could kill me?
And yet, he simply didn't care.
By midday, my clothes were wet with sweat. The car was suffocatingly hot, making it hard for me to breathe.
Although my head was spinning and my eyelids were drooping, I knew I could not sleep because once I did, I might never wake up again.
At that moment, my phone on the phone mount outside the window rang. The moment I saw it was my older brother calling and I was immediately excited.
Ever since I left home in a huff two years ago, my older brother has called me from time to time. I also knew that my parents were always concerned about my life outside, or otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use my family's connections to help Coleman Group rise so quickly.
My older brother had been urging me to go home and apologize to my parents, but I was stubborn and refused to back down.
I had planned to go home before my wedding with Morgan next month to apologize to my parents in person, but I never expected something like this to happen today.
My older brother called me several times in a row until my phone ran out of battery and shut off. At that moment, I knew that if I could hold on a little longer, I would be saved, because my phone had been installed with a tracking device.
That was the only reason my family had allowed me to roam free for the past two years; otherwise, they would have dragged me home long ago.
Since my phone wasn't reachable, given my older brother's meticulous nature, he would definitely send someone to find me immediately. So, I bit my arm hard and the intense pain snapped me out of my daze.
Before long, someone arrived at this abandoned parking lot. At first, I was thrilled because I thought it was my older brother with his men, but when I saw who it was, the excitement froze on my face.
It was Morgan and Ellie!
Behind them were several high-ranking executives from Coleman Group.
When they saw me locked inside the car under the blazing sun, the look of utter shock appeared on the faces of all the executives from ColemanS Group.
Before the executives could ask what was going on, Morgan coldly said to them, “I know you were all promoted by Felicia and are very loyal to her.”
"However, one thing you all have to understand ... this company belongs to the Coleman Family, not the Lancaster Family."
“From now on, Ellie will replace Felicia as deputy general manager. If any of you dare to disobey Ellie's orders, be prepared to be fired!”
