Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1084: Don’t Look Back!

At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door echoed, and a voice came from outside: "Dianna, are you asleep?"

Tanya swiftly tucked the gun under her pillow, "Not yet."

Jodie Young pushed the door open and entered, carrying a cup of hot milk, "Dianna, drink this before going to bed. I’ve noticed that you haven’t had much appetite these past few days. You’ve gotten all skinny and pale."

Tanya reached out to take the milk, "Thank you."

"Dianna," Jodie Young sat down next to Tanya, "Is the reason you don’t want to go home with mom because of Cain Shaw?"

Tanya’s heart skipped a beat.

"Dianna, this is something Cain Shaw asked someone to pass to you." Jodie Young handed Tanya a package delivered by Cain’s personal secretary.

It was an envelope.

Tanya put down the milk and opened the envelope; inside were two plane tickets dated for tomorrow.

Since that day, Cain Shaw had disappeared, never appearing in front of her again.

Now he had someone send this, but it was a plane ticket for tomorrow.

His intention was quite clear; he wanted her to leave here tomorrow.

Tanya’s small oval face turned ghostly white.

"Dianna, the Shaw family is already making preparations for the wedding. Cain Shaw is going to marry Tina Shaw, the wedding date is set, and their marriage news should be announced soon all over Starfall City," Jodie Young said.

Tanya’s face was pale. Her slender white fingers tightly clutched the plane tickets. A few seconds later, she slowly said, "Where is Cain Shaw now? I want to see him."

"Dianna, at this point, you still want to see Cain Shaw? If he wanted to see you, he would have already done so. He’s been spending these days with Tina Shaw, and they are inseparable."

Listening to these words, Tanya didn’t reveal much emotion; she merely softly insisted, "I want to see him."

"Dianna! You’ve only known Cain Shaw for a few days, do you know what kind of person he is? Has he ever told you who he is? He’s always been mixed up in the underworld, constantly surrounded by women. He’s not a good person!"

Tanya’s knuckles turned white. She looked up at Jodie Young and said word by word, "No matter what you say, I still want to see him. What kind of person he is, what he wants to do, I don’t need to hear it from you; I want to hear it directly from him."

Seeing the persistence and determination in her daughter’s eyes, Jodie Young was silent. She knew that if she didn’t let her daughter give up, she’d never leave with her.

"All right, I’ll take you to see Cain Shaw now."

...

Several luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the six-star hotel, guarded by a group of burly men in black.

The hotel owner personally escorted the distinguished guests out. Other guests, witnessing such a scene, consciously moved to the other side, glancing up to see a few people standing in the dimly lit area where the bodyguards had set up a barrier: the elder Shaw, Cain Shaw, Tina Shaw, and several prominent figures from Starfall City’s underworld.

Turns out they were from the Shaw family, no wonder.

The other guests dared not look too much, moving quickly away.

The elder Shaw saw off those big shots, then smiled at Cain and said, "Cain, these uncles are my good friends, with a lot of businesses at hand. Back when Carney was around, he always wanted to meet them but never had the chance. Now, as you’re marrying Tina, I’ll naturally pass some of the people, matters, and central power to you gradually."

The Shaw family has been entrenched in Starfall City for a century; the water runs deep. Cain Shaw has taken over many businesses in recent years but has never reached the core.

The elder Shaw is a sly old fox, unwilling to hand it over easily.

Now, Cain Shaw is finally starting to make contact.

Cain cast a discreet look at the direction those big shots left. These people had astonishing identities, a certain charity fund founder, a certain hospital director, a certain music superstar...

If not for today’s dinner gathering, who would have thought that these respectable figures were tangled up with the Shaw family in such a way.

They were like a web intertwined, engaging in various illicit dealings.

Cain curled his lips slightly, "Grandpa, I’ll do my best."

"Exactly, Dad, Cain is already your son-in-law. Just confidently hand over all your business to Cain." Tina Shaw sweetly clung to Cain’s strong arm, playfully said.

The elder Shaw nodded, "I shall return first; Cain, you send Tina home." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The elder Shaw left in his car.

"Cain, tonight, should we... go to your place or to mine?" Tina Shaw looked up, sending a coyly amorous glance at Cain.

Cain reached out, pulling Tina into his embrace, his handsome face inches away from her. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered intimately, "Won’t we wait until the wedding night? Seems like you’re quite... a little greedy kitty."

Tina Shaw’s past boyfriends were many, yet none could match Cain Shaw’s allure. If Tanya was oblivious to relationships, Tina was well-versed. She knew within Cain’s robust, wild physique lay a power capable of captivating women deeply.

Rumor had it that he was a walking aphrodisiac, and Tina Shaw had long been eager to taste him.

To Tina, men were her playthings; it wasn’t men who bed her, but she who bedded them.

Cain was no exception.

However, Cain was indeed hard to handle, different from others.

Tina Shaw squirmed slightly, teasingly said, "Cain, you are so naughty."

Cain’s lips carried a smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes. As he sensed a gaze falling upon him, he looked up.

Across the street, a luxurious car was parked, beside which stood a slender silhouette — Tanya.

Tanya had arrived.

Perhaps she had been standing there quietly for some time, witnessing the flirtation between him and Tina Shaw.

Cain met her almond-shaped eyes. Now she was looking at him, and he was looking at her, their gazes locked.

Cain froze.

Sensing Cain’s strange behavior, Tina Shaw asked puzzledly, "Cain, what are you looking at?"

Tina Shaw turned to see.

But Cain quickly pulled Tina into his embrace, blocking her view, "Let’s go back."

Tina nodded, "Okay."

The two of them got into the luxury car, Cain stepped on the gas, speeding away.

The car gradually disappeared into the distance, while Cain glanced up through the rearview mirror. Far away, he saw that slender silhouette still standing there, as if watching him leave.

With slender and powerful fingers, he gripped the steering wheel tightly. Cain restrained himself from looking back, repeatedly warning himself not to look back! Absolutely, do not look back!

All these years, no matter what, amidst the battles, never had he turned back.
