"If Miss King wants my husband so badly, you’re free to have him as your husband."
Regina’s expression flickered with surprise. She hadn’t expected me to be this calm. And that, more than anything, meant I had already won.
"Isn't Miss Hawking angry at all?" Regina asked, almost tauntingly, tilting her head as if expecting me to break.
I simply waved my hand, smiling.
"What's there to be angry about?"
"In fact, I should thank Mr. Oswald. If not for his interference, I wouldn’t have known how to sever ties with the Woods Family."
"But let me remind you, Miss King. Whoever offends me never meets a good end."
Regina clearly hadn’t expected me to be more arrogant than her. Her face darkened with anger. With a flick of her wrist, she turned to Holly.
"Holly, what are you waiting for? Do it!"
The words had barely left her lips when Holly grabbed a champagne bottle from the table and smashed it against my head. Pain exploded in my skull and before I could react, I collapsed to the floor.
