Chapter 36
Ciara was kind of shocked by Cara’s words. To hear her crying as if she was betrayed or something hurts her because she knew she would never have the things that would hurt her daughter.
And she knew; Callum heard it. His daughter doesn’t want him.
She was kind of disappointed by the fact that Shane got access to the party. Though it was open to socialite people, if she knew things would happen like that, she should have just left Cata at the house.
Every time Shane would show up, Ciara would be reminded how dark her past was as she would suddenly change her mind
to Callum.
But after their talk, she wanted to trust him.
- She wanted to give him a chance, even though having Callum in her life meant she would be pulling Shane back again.
But because of Cara’s reaction to what happened, she could really tell that she would have a hard time introducing Cara to Callum.
What happened at the party was immediately controlled by their security, as no one dared to post on the internet because Gwen ensured no one would make a rumor out of it.
Though it was now a great rumor, those who heard Shane were now curious about what she had said. Some were only posting cryptic messages about it because mentioning Ciara and what happened to her party would be deleted right away.
That bitch, Serra hissed as soon as she went to
the house to check
k on Cara
Cara was now sleeping after crying so hard. All of the Sullivans were worried, but most of all, they were so angry at Wilson’s daughter for disrupting the event that was supposed to promote Ciara’s new brand,
rill in a
a rage.
“Gwen, how did that woman slip into the party when it was exclusive?” Serra demanded while she was still
“The invitations were given accordingly. Those who could only get in were invited by the VIPs themselves, or…there were some lapses with the security. But as what I reviewed on the CCTV footage earlier, Shane has passed into the entrance with an invitation in her hand.”
Serra’s brows knitted as she glanced at Ciara, who was still processing what just happened.
“Then…you gave her an invitation card yourself?” Serra looked at Ciara critically.
“I reviewed the other angles, and I confirmed that there’s one on the VIP list who didn’t show his invitation card because his name was already written on it. He probably gave away his invitation card,” Gwen said as her eyes bore into Ciara meaningfully.
“Then who would it be? There’s no Wilson invited to the said event! The only man I’ve seen there is Callum Haynes Serra paused as soon as she realized what was happening.
She slowly looked at Ciara, who slowly realized that Callum might have given his invitation letter to Shane too,
“Oh my god, Clara!” she exclaimed.
Every time she would give chances to Callum, something would happen, like a sign that she was doing the wrong thing. because Callum would mmediately do something that would change his mund.
“Did you get back to him? Serra immediately asked, like if Cian said yes, Serra would raise hell
Ciara shook her head “No. Not yet.”

“I was planning to give him a chance,” she said quietly like it was the dumbest decision she was going to make in the middle
of the chaos.
“I’m sorry to say this; yes, I have given him the benefit of the doubt, but involving Cara here, as she looked so traumatized for what happened, I might not support you on this for patching things with Callum. Why would he give his invitation to Shane? He obviously lends him his own invitation to let that bitch in!”
Ciara was so lost. She doesn’t know what to think because a part of her questions it too.
“The Haynes dropped the Wilsons, Serra, she reminded as if it were enough to give Callum more benefit from the doubt.
“Well yes. To probably get your sympathy. Because if he truly cared for you, he would never let Shane get close to you! And why would he need the Wilson now that he found out that his ex-wife, who has his child, is actually a billionaire, a Sullivan? Of course, I would be crawling back to you! Oh, damn it! “Serra shook her head frustratingly as she walked to the kitchen. “Can you give me something hard to drink? or even a champagne will do.”
Ciara couldn’t say what was on her mind. She knew how impulsive she was when it came to Callum because she witnessed for herself how Callum broke her in the past while she begged for him to choose her.
But Callum didn’t. And despite the explanation, it was suddenly washed away when her daughter was now in the middle of the chaos and suffering from it as well.
She could sense the controlled opinion Gwen was suppressing, but she could feel it through her heavy gaze on her as if there was something Gwen was brewing in her mind, but she couldn’t say it as she was afraid to hurt Ciara,
“You can spit it out, Gwen. It would be better so that I would realize things because I’m probably losing my mind.” Ciara said, ready to hear her side.
“I think it is better now that you don’t trust him fully. Don’t dwell on him too much, like how you almost sacrificed everything in the past,” she reminded.
“Yes, Gwen. I am not going to trust him; that’s why I was planning to give him a chance so I could see if…” she trailed off.
Serra groaned so harshly that Ciara stopped talking about it, and even Gwen’s expression changed a bit as the suppressed disappointment came to the surface.
After a while, Mr. Sullivan, together with her other brothers, came, as they all shared the same grim expressions.
“Where is Cara?” Mr. Sullivan asked worriedly.
“She fell asleep after crying for an hour,” Ciara explained as her brother gave an immediate, disappointed expression.
“Is that the woman whom you were talking about, Ciara?” Chance asked, his brow arching.
Ciara nodded as she could feel how heavy their gazes were on her as if she would be punished if she told them that she had just talked to Callum and was planning to give him a chance.
But after what happened, she was slowly losing hope again, and even her own daughter immediately abandoned knowing her father, Cara was hurt and devastated.
“Who’s connected to Callum Haynes? I heard the Haynes drop the Wilsons. Maybe he found out that he doesn’t need the Wilsons anymore knowing his ex-wife was actually a Sullivan,” Chance said, laughing a bit in a mocking way.
“Exactly. That’s what I said to Ciara earlier too,” Serra said in a high-pitched voice.
“Have you reviewed the security on how that woman entered the exclusive event, Gwen?” Louis asked.

Ciara gulped. She could-sense how heavy the judgments Callum would get once they found out the truth.
“Yes. Someone from the VIP didn’t use his invitation card and was lent to that woman the explained.

“And who is that
at VIP?” Mr. Sullivan’s voice thundered as he seemed so ready to throw a fit once he heard the name. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Ciara bowed a bit and massaged her temple.
“It’s Mr. Haynes, sir.”
Despite not seeing their reaction. Ciara could feel the tension that just rose with the mention of the name that broke her heart from the past.
“See? That man has something up his sleeve. Knowing how desperate they were just to be at the top and to crush us,” Chance chuckled.
“What is your plan, Ciara?” Louis asked.
Ciara felt like they were asking ti
things not because they were ready to support her but because they were ready to correct her if she said something that seemed not right for what was happening.
“She mentioned that they talked and she was planning to give him a chance,” Serra blurted out in a sarcastic way.
Ciara heard the heavy sigh from her father. Though it was a decision she made earlier, now that everything was se twisting and the tables were turned, she was contemplating things again.
Because truth be told, she was a bit disappointed as soon as she saw Shane. It was already in the back of her mind that Callum might be the reason why she was there, but she still gave Callum the benefit of the doubt
But how could he even defend him when Gwen just confirmed he didn’t show his invitation letter? When he was connected/ to Shane?
“That man is really up to no good. Imagine now that he knows he’s the father of Cara, he might do worse and claim her legally,” Chance said which made Ciara uncomfortable.)
