Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1721:

Jayden frowned, the weight of her words sinking in. “But what happens after she gets her revenge? If the Ruiz family is destroyed, will she lose her will to live then?”

Elyse paused, taking a deep breath before she nodded slowly, the gravity of her words settling between them. “Exactly. Once it’s over, she’ll have nothing left. I’m not sure she’ll survive that kind of emptiness.”

Lowell burst through the hotel’s revolving doors, his polished shoes squeaking against the marble floor. The scene before him was pure chaos.

Like sharks scenting blood, reporters descended upon him in an instant. Their cameras flashed like lightning, microphones thrust toward his face like accusing fingers.

“Mr. Ruiz, what’s your take on your sister Dolores’ scandal? Are you here to intervene or participate in her game?” One reporter’s voice cut through the cacophony.

“Is this sort of behavior common in your family? Do you share similar… proclivities?”

“Mr. Ruiz, how does your family respond to her actions?”

With a sharp gesture, Lowell signaled his two assistants, who moved in perfect sync to create a human barrier between him and the press vultures. He had no time for their tabloid fodder.

The elevator ride felt endless as Lowell watched the floor numbers tick upward. When the doors finally parted, he strode down the hallway, his footsteps muffled by the plush carpet.

His heart dropped when he reached the room—the door stood slightly ajar, and Dolores’s breathy moans drifted through the gap.

Shaun had already left.

Rage bubbled in Lowell’s chest as he contemplated his sister’s foolishness. In her attempt to lay a trap, she had become ensnared in her own web, transforming herself into the city’s latest scandal.

Unable to contain his fury any longer, he kicked the door with enough force to make it slam against the wall. “Dolores, enough of this spectacle! Get dressed and out here this instant!”

“I can’t…” Dolores’s voice came out as barely a whisper. “The drug… I need time for it to wear off.”noveldrama

“Your shamelessness knows no bounds!” Lowell spat, disgust dripping from every word. “Do you expect me to swallow that pathetic excuse?”

Dolores rushed to explain, “It’s the truth! The wine—I spiked it for Shaun with triple the usual dose. If I leave now… I could die.”

Lowell felt a migraine building behind his eyes. He couldn’t bear another second of her sickening voice. Stepping into the hallway, he pulled out a cigarette, his hands shaking slightly as he lit it.

While Dolores’s scandal could potentially be buried, Shaun might still follow through with his threats to spread the scandal far and wide.

Lowell knew his company’s stock would take a nosedive, and their carefully cultivated public image would crumble like a house of cards.

The timing couldn’t be worse—he had just sealed a major partnership deal. This scandal threatened to unravel everything he’d worked for.

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, his thoughts drifted to Tracy.
