Chapter 2 The Ninth Bride

• In order to escape from Finley, she went as far as helping her fiance, Noah, take away everything that belonged to Finley. Noah convinced her that if Finley lost everything, he would no longer have the power to keep her imprisoned.
• At that time, she believed him.
• So, she did everything in her power to harm Finley and break free from his grasp, all for the sake of being with Noah. On the day Finley left for a business trip, she escaped from the villa where she had been held captive and sought refuge in Noah's house, hoping that Noah would rescue her. Unfortunately, she overheard a conversation between Noah and Amy and witnessed their intimate moment.
• It turned out that ever since Noah returned to the country, he had been planning to dissolve their marriage and marry Amy. However, upon learning that she had married Finley, he wanted to manipulate her feelings so he could deal with Finley.
• It was all a lie, a deception.
• She ended up causing the death of Finley, who had always deeply loved her, all for the sake of a scoundrel, and she also destroyed her happiness with her own hands.
• As she faced death, all she could remember was how kind Finley had been to her when she was a fool.
• Samantha could never forget his promise. "From now on, no one can harm you except for me because I will always protect you."
• Finley kept his promise, but she didn't keep hers.
• In her previous life, she had vowed to always stay by his side and love him forever. Yet, in the end, as soon as her intelligence returned, she abandoned him heartlessly. He must have been devastated at that time, right?
• Samantha closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Finley, look. Fate has granted me a second chance at life to make amends for my past regrets. This time, let me protect you, okay?
• "We have arrived."
• Four strong men placed Samantha outside the Dean Residence's entrance.
• With a creak, the heavy gate swung open, revealing a middle-aged woman walking out from the courtyard. She handed a check to the four men and dismissed them. Then, she instructed the people in the courtyard to carry Samantha to the room where Finley was.
• Daphne Stuart lifted the white veil covering Samantha's face and observed she was calm. Daphne was somewhat surprised. The previous eight brides all fainted in fear and were brought in upon hearing that they were marrying the young master of the Dean Family.
• But this bride was so composed without trembling.
• She had some courage.
• Daphne said, "Mrs. Dean, since you are not unconscious, please enter the house yourself."
• "All right."
• With a nervous heart, Samantha stepped in. With Daphne's leading the way, she walked slowly into the room where Finley awaited.
• Daphne helped Samantha settle on the bed. After scanning the room and not finding Finley's presence, she proceeded to explain a few things to Samantha, "Mrs. Dean, now that you have married into the Dean Family, there are a few matters I need to clarify. Firstly, Mr. Dean's legs are disabled due to an accident. You will need to take the initiative later. Secondly, Mr. Dean has a temper, but he has a good heart. As long as you devote yourself to him wholeheartedly, he will treat you well. Thirdly, his face was injured in the accident, so he always wears a mask. If..."
