He even began to bow to Thomas, but Thomas didn’t spare him a glance.
Instead, Thomas strode toward me and pulled me gently into his arms. His entire body trembled as he whispered, “Emma, I’m so sorry for arriving late… I’ve made you suffer. Forgive me.”

Haley, in particular, was too shocked to even scream. Her eyes widened as she stared at me in disbelief.
“Emma Larkin… you weren’t lying?” she gasped, drawing in a sharp breath.

Before Haley could say another word, Joel turned on her in a fit of rage, raining kicks and punches on her.
“This is all your fault, you stupid woman! How dare you lay a hand on Mrs. Siegel! I’m just Mr. Siegel’s driver. How dare you hit his wife? It’s over. Everything’s over!”
Haley coughed up blood, either from the beating or from learning that her husband was merely Thomas/driver. Unable to handle the truth, she fainted.
After seeing Haley collapse, Joel turned to Thomas. While still kneeling, he pleaded, “Mr. Siegel, I’m so sorry… My ignorant wife didn’t recognize Mrs. Siegel. I’ve already avenged Mrs. Siegel. Please, show us some mercy and spare her…”
“Get out!”
Thomas‘ fury peaked. He didn’t want to waste any more time on the couple. Cradling me carefully, he carried me to the car and drove straight to the hospital.
The onlookers were completely petrified.
“Is Emma Larkin Thomas Siegel’s wife? So, Thomas Siegel is the actual CEO of Novalux Group, and Joel is just a driver…”
“If Emma wasn’t impersonating Haley, does that mean she’s really… the daughter of a tycoon?”
