Chapter 1653
Lara hugged ken. “Ken, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I have
nothing now except you.” Ken listened to her patiently and cupped her face after a moment. “I brought your
favorite lilies.”
Lara smiled with tears in her eyes. “You remember.” He looked down with no joy in his eyes. “I used to be a son-in-
law of the Reese’s, of course, I would remember.”
Lara suddenly understood what he meant.
His hand rested on her chin. “If you had listened to me, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Lara shuddered and grabbed his arm. “I’ve learned my lesson, Ken. Please help me.”
She begged. “If you save me, my dad will give you anything you want when we’re married.” Ken held her hand and

She couldn’t believe it. “What!?”
Ken loosened his tie and placed the bouquet on the table. “I guess I didn’t make it clear enough. I never loved you.
All I wanted were the benefits your family could bring me. Now that you’re no longer who you were, why would I
marry a disfigured woman?”
Lara was very emotional and furious, “Ken Pruitt!”
Ken smiled and leaned closer to her with no expression on his face. “You should be glad that I got someone to ruin
your face. If it were Nollace, i’m afraid it wouldn’t be as simple as your face that was destroyed.” That sentence
made Lara’s pupils shrink and start shaking. After Ken left, Lara sat there on her bed. She had lost everything-love
and sweet words were an Illusion.
She screamed as if she had lost her mind and threw a pillow.
The pillow fell at a girl’s feet.
She walked forward when she saw Lara crying with her face in her hands and handed her a tissue, “Ms. Reese,
don’t be sad. We both have the same enemy.”
At the Knowles Group…
Edison reported the disfigurement of Lara to Nollace. He had the side of his head on his hand while tapping the
other hand on the desk in deep thought.
The Reeses were exposed and had lost their power. Even though they had paid the price, it wasn’t enough. He
didn’t plan to let Lara, who was the reason Daisle was Injured, go so easily. What made people suffer the niost

“Sir, now that Ms. Reese is disfigured, Mr. Donald Matthews probably won’t marry hier.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDonald Matthews was the only male heir of the Matthews, the grandson of a duke. Even though they weren’t as
great as the Reeses, who were royals, they were much more well known.
Especially Donald. He was a hidden shareholder of the underground market of Yaramoor, 34 years old, and married
thrice.
The first wife had passed away in a car accident while five-months pregnant – the cause of the accident was
unknown.
The second and third wives were still alive, but one of them was abused and had mental issues. She lived in a care
home. The other one was forced to work in the black market as an escort and had suffered a heart attack.
Donald loved beautiful young women but got bored of them quickly. Once he was done with them, they wouldn’t
have a happy ending.
Nollace found out from the people of the black market that Lara was the woman that Donald wanted the most.
He loved how seductive she was, but too bad she was a Reese. Thus, even if he wanted her, he couldn’t just get
her.
