From Ignored to Adored: The Heiress Melts the Self-Restrained Boss Chapter 164: He Has a Fiancée Now

The woman’s face grew darker, and she took a step forward, closing in on Riley Hawthorne.

"Do you think that just because you slept with Zachary Sutton, he’ll like you? Don’t be naive. He’s just playing around. You better be sensible and leave quickly, or I won’t let you off."

A sharp pain pierced Riley Hawthorne’s heart; she couldn’t believe the woman’s words. "You’re talking nonsense! Zachary wouldn’t do that."

The woman looked at Riley disdainfully, "You’re really naive. I know exactly what kind of person Zachary Sutton is. He won’t give up his player lifestyle for you; you’re just one of many won for him."

At this mont, Zachary Sutton was still sleeping soundly in the room upstairs, unaware of the argunt happening downstairs.

The woman, seeing Riley’s hesitation, grew even more impatient, "I’m giving you one last chance. Leave here imdiately, or I’ll make you regret it."

"Who exactly are you?" Riley looked at the arrogant woman before her, who seed older and dressed more maturely, exuding charm.

"Want to know?" The woman crossed her arms and replied with an unfazed expression, "I’m his fiancée."

"Fiancée?" Upon hearing those three words, Riley felt as if she had been hit over the head.

"No, that’s impossible." Riley shook her head, "How can you be his fiancée?"

"Why is it impossible? Zachary Sutton and I are about the sa age, both sets of parents have t and are very satisfied with . So, we’re engaged!" Rosalyn Quinn said nonchalantly, a look of provocation and pride in her eyes.

"If he’s engaged, why didn’t he tell us? You’re lying, aren’t you?" Even now, Riley couldn’t believe that the woman in front of her could be Zachary Sutton’s fiancée.

"Believe it or not, I’ve seen many girls like you becoming soone’s mistress. Don’t think that just because you climbed into Zachary’s bed, you can rise from a sparrow to a phoenix. I’m telling you, with around, don’t even think about it."

Riley’s face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stubbornly said, "I’m not a mistress. Zachary and I genuinely love each other."

Rosalyn scoffed, "Genuinely in love? Don’t be ridiculous. Zachary is just playing with you; he won’t give up for you. You better leave, or I’ll ruin your reputation."

Riley bit her lip, her heart filled with pain and despair.

"Get out of here imdiately!"

In the past, Riley would have retaliated without hesitation.

But now, she couldn’t say a word.

Because, what else could she say? What right did she have to say anything?

Zachary Sutton had a fiancée, so why did he call her na when he was drunk? Was everything a lie?

Riley didn’t know how she left Zachary Sutton’s private villa. She wandered aimlessly on the deserted street, tears falling uncontrollably.

The night wind was a bit chilly, blowing against Riley Hawthorne’s face, but it couldn’t blow away the pain in her heart.

In her mind, scenes of her ti with Zachary replayed constantly, her always chasing after him, now turning into daggers piercing her heart.

Loving soone secretly is really, really painful.

Suddenly, a black Maybach stopped beside Riley Hawthorne.

Caden Hawthorne, wearing a black coat, got out of the car in haste, with a hint of anger on his handso face. "Riley Hawthorne, you’ve grown bold? Out wandering so late; why aren’t you ho? Do you know..."

Before Caden could finish his sentence, Riley, like a wronged child, rushed forward and hugged him, crying in his arms.

"Bro..."

Caden trembled slightly, a flicker of surprise in his deep eyes.

He looked down and upon seeing Riley’s tear-stained face, the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

"Who bullied you?"

Riley just cried without speaking, tears soaking Caden’s coat.

Caden sighed helplessly, gently patting her back.

"Alright, stop crying. Tell what’s wrong, and I’ll stand up for you." Caden’s voice was gentle yet firm.

Riley sobbed for a while before slowly raising her head. "Bro, Zachary Sutton... he has a fiancée."

Caden frowned slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes. "I told you before, Zachary is not suitable for you, but you wouldn’t listen. Now see, you’re heartbroken?"

Riley lowered her head, tears falling again. "I thought he had feelings for too, but I didn’t expect..."

Caden looked at his sister with heartache. "Silly girl, you can’t force feelings. If he doesn’t appreciate you, it’s his loss. Co on, let’s go ho."

Caden took Riley’s hand and led her into the car.

Throughout the ride, Riley remained silent, just silently shedding tears.

It seed that tonight his sister had suffered a lot to be this heartbroken.

"Riley, if you really can’t get over it, I’ll go find Zachary tomorrow and beat him up to vent your anger."

"No need." Riley imdiately shook her head upon hearing this, "Bro, can you not tell sister-in-law or anyone else about tonight? And about Zachary, I don’t want him to feel burdened."

Upon hearing this, Caden wore an expression of exasperation, "Riley, at this ti, you’re still thinking about Zachary? Although he’s my buddy, if he dares to bully you, I’d be the first to hit him. If you’re wronged, just tell directly. Why keep it in and not let everyone know?"

Sotis Caden wondered, even though they were born of the sa mother, why were their personalities so different?

Is she really his sister Riley Hawthorne? She, as the eldest daughter of the Hawthorne Family, should be bold to love and hate, not like this, crying and whining.

He even thought, is it because he, mom, and grandpa have protected her too well all along?

Being innocent and lively is a good thing, but Caden is really worried that Riley will suffer in matters of the heart.

"Sorry, bro, I’ve embarrassed you," Riley lowered her head, a hint of guilt in her eyes, "I have just this one request, bro, will you agree to it?"

Saying this, Riley raised her tear-filled eyes to look at him.

Caden sighed, "Let’s talk after we get ho."

Once they got ho, Mrs. Hawthorne was heartbroken seeing Riley’s swollen eyes.

"What happened? Who bullied you?" Mrs. Hawthorne asked anxiously.

Caden remained silent, and Riley quickly said, "Mom, it’s nothing, the wind was too strong at night, it made tear up."

"Really?" Mrs. Hawthorne looked at her suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you’re hiding sothing from us?"

"It’s nothing, my brother can vouch for ." Saying this, Riley gave Caden a look.

"Caden, where did you find your sister?"

"Bar."

"By the roadside."

Caden and Riley spoke at the sa ti, their answers not matching.
