Chapter 3

I hung up the phone. Downstairs at my apartment building, reporters had already swarmed.

Camera flashes went crazy, aimed at Sebastian and me.

"Gianna, are you and this gentleman really married?"

"There are rumors that Starlight Entertainment's bankruptcy is related to you. Is that true?"

"Did you already know your husband's true identity, so you dared to do that on the red carpet?"

Each question was sharper than the last.

I was pushed and nearly lost my footing.

Sebastian pulled me into his arms. His not-particularly-tall frame now felt like a mountain.

In his accented English, he said to all the reporters, word by word:

"I am Gianna's husband, Sebastian Cole."

"Whatever she does, I will support her."

"As for Starlight Entertainment, they brought it on themselves."

"Anyone who dares to bully my wife will pay the price."

His words were simple and direct, even somewhat crude.

But they instantly calmed my heart.

In the crowd, I saw Fiona.

She wore exquisite makeup and an expensive gown, her face full of malice as she stared at me.

Standing next to her was a middle-aged man in a suit---her uncle, Starlight's former shareholder.

"Gianna, you bitch!"

Fiona rushed toward me, trying to hit me.

Sebastian blocked me, catching her wrist.

"It's you?"

Fiona's uncle saw Sebastian and his face went deathly pale.

His legs went weak and he nearly fell to his knees.

"Mr.... Mr. Cole?"

Sebastian released Fiona and glanced at him coolly.

"Mr. Walker, long time no see."

"You've raised your niece well."

Mr. Walker was drenched in sweat, stammering explanations.

"Mr. Cole, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"I didn't know Miss Gianna was your..."

"She's my wife."

Sebastian interrupted him, his voice not loud but absolutely firm.

The entire scene fell silent.

All the reporters forgot to press their shutters.

Fiona was stunned too, staring blankly at Sebastian.

This rough-looking man who in her eyes only deserved to deliver food.

Was actually the "Mr. Cole" her uncle had to bow and scrape to.

"From today on, I don't want to see these two people in the industry again."

Sebastian finished speaking, pulled me along, parted the crowd, and walked into the apartment building.

Behind us were Mr. Walker's and Fiona's desperate cries.

Back home, I finally couldn't help asking him.

"Sebastian, who exactly are you?"

He took off that yellow delivery uniform, revealing the white dress shirt underneath.

The shirt was a bit wrinkled, but clean.

He scratched his head, smiling a bit sheepishly.

"My name is Sebastian Cole, founder of Universal Capital."

"I was delivering food before to research the local food delivery market."

"I'm sorry, honey. I kept it from you this whole time."

I looked at him, not knowing what to say.

The number one capital titan in the industry.

A regular on the Forbes list.

The legendary mysterious and low-profile Universal Capital CEO who never appeared in public.

Was my husband.

That delivery driver who brought me dinner every day, riding a bicycle.

This was more bizarre than any movie script.

"So you bought out Starlight just because they bullied me?"

He nodded, his expression like a child who'd done something right, waiting for my praise.

"They made you unhappy."

"I don't want my wife to be wronged."

I suddenly laughed. Laughing and laughing, I cried.

I walked over and hugged him.

"Sebastian, you big liar."

His body stiffened, then he carefully hugged me back.

"Honey, don't cry. From now on, no one will dare bully you."
