The two days that Wen Xiaoman was under house arrest by Qiao Siyue felt like an eternity.

Although the room had enough to eat and wear, there was no freedom, and no way to contact the outside world.

She tried everything, but the doors and windows were sealed off or locked from the outside. The guards were tight, and she couldn't find any chance to escape.

Most importantly, she had no idea where she was being held.

Two days have passed, and there has been no news from Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, which indicates that Qiao Siyue has chosen an extremely secluded location that is difficult to find.

Just as Wen Xiaoman was feeling anxious, the door was finally opened from the outside, and Qiao Siyue walked in looking refreshed, with obvious pleasure on his face.

As soon as Wen Xiaoman saw him, she immediately stood up from her chair and asked anxiously, "Qiao Siyue, when are you finally going to let me out?"

Qiao Siyue, however, remained calm and approached her with a smile, his tone relaxed: "Don't rush, I've come over because I have some good news to share with you."

"Good news?" Wen Xiaoman immediately became wary. "What good news could you possibly have?"

With a smile on his lips, Qiao Siyue handed her the tablet computer, which displayed a newly released headline in bold red on the screen.

Wen Xiaoman looked down in confusion, and the moment her eyes fell on the news headline and accompanying picture, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her blood seemed to freeze.

The headline proclaims: A Powerful Alliance! The Chemosey family's Joss Nian and the Fanning family's daughter are getting married soon, with the wedding scheduled for three days from now!

The accompanying photo is an official picture of Qiao Sinian standing side by side with an unfamiliar socialite, and the two look... quite well-matched.

Is he getting married?

And... so soon? Just three days from now?

Wen Xiaoman's face turned deathly pale, completely bloodless, and her hand holding the tablet trembled uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, a suffocating pain shot through my heart.

Qiao Siyue enjoyed watching her momentarily lost and dejected expression, and asked with feigned concern, "Xiaoman, what's with that expression? Shouldn't you be happy for my brother that he's finally getting married and finding happiness with someone of equal social standing?"

Happy?

How could Wen Xiaoman possibly be happy!

Just recently, that man had personally denied their past relationship in front of her, saying that it was over.

But in the blink of an eye, he's about to marry another young lady?

Was all his previous avoidance and indifference genuine?

Is he really fed up with her, so he found a new love so quickly and forgot his old one?

She suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Qiao Siyue, trying to find any flaw in his face.

Could it be that Joss is pressuring him? Just like he's pressuring himself now?

Qiao Siyue seemed to have read her mind long ago. He shrugged and said in a relaxed tone:

"Stop speculating. This news was officially released by the Chemosey and Fanning families. Now the whole world knows. If my brother hadn't agreed to it himself, do you think anyone could force him to do something he didn't want to do?"

He leaned closer, his voice seductive, "This time, you really should give up. The man you've been longing for is really going to marry someone else."

......

On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Joe were equally angry.

Holding the freshly published news, they angrily confronted Jossinian.

Madam Qiao asked, "Si Nian, instead of reconciling with Xiao Man, you turn around and want to marry the daughter of the Fan Ning family. What do you mean by this?"

Faced with his mother's questioning, Qiao Sinian merely glanced at her indifferently and said coldly, "My affairs are none of your business."

Mr. Qiao retorted angrily, "You think we don't care? If we don't care, you're finished!"

Madam Qiao was both anxious and angry, and said earnestly, "Si Nian, yes, we did intend to match you with the daughter of the Fan Ning family some time ago, but that was because we didn't know you already had someone in your heart. Now we know everything, and besides, you and Xiao Man even have a child. At this critical moment, you run off to marry someone else. Aren't you just playing around? What are you going to do about Xiao Man? What are you going to do about Xiao A Yan?"

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, where's Xiaoman? We haven't seen her for two days. How are things between you two? Did you say something that made her run away?"

Qiao Sinian's lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes churning with complex emotions, but his words remained cold and hard: "Don't ask anymore, let's prepare for the wedding."

"You'll be able to see her after the wedding..."

“You…” Mr. Qiao pointed at him, his hand trembling with anger.

Mrs. Qiao also looked heartbroken: "Si Nian, you...you're really going to drive us crazy!"

The couple felt like they were talking to a brick wall, so they could only glare at him a few times before turning away angrily.

Qiao Sinian watched their retreating figures and wearily closed his eyes.

He did not reveal that Qiao Siyue had kidnapped Wen Xiaoman and used her to threaten him.

This is because this time, he wants to completely eradicate Qiao Siyue, this cancer, in the time he may have left.

Previously, he was indeed mindful of his health, so no matter how much Qiao Siyue provoked him, he never truly tried to kill him.

On one hand, he didn't want his parents to be heartbroken by their fratricide. On the other hand, he also harbored a thought that if he were gone, the Chemosi family would need someone to support them. Even though Jos Yue was a bastard, he was still a blood relative.

But now, it's different.

Joss crossed the line that he absolutely could not touch.

Even if he were to die tomorrow, he had to eliminate Qiao Siyue, this troublesome and hidden danger, before he died.

Because he knew very well that once he was gone, no one would be able to protect Wen Xiaoman, or even Xiao Ayan.

Given Qiao Siyue's ruthless nature, he will definitely not let them off the hook.

Therefore, Josyue... cannot stay.

The reason I didn't tell my parents was that I didn't want to make them sad.

After all, they were his own sons, and they wouldn't want to see their own brothers killing each other.

Thinking about his next plan, Qiao Sinian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze now devoid of any hesitation, only filled with a chilling, murderous intent.

......

Three days later, news of the Chemosey family holding another wedding swept the headlines of major media outlets, causing a great uproar.

This time, however, the groom was not Qiao Siyue, but Qiao Sinian, who had always been shrouded in mystery and had never made a public appearance.

The sudden appearance of this young master has aroused great curiosity from the outside world.

Prior to this, the Chemosey family had never publicly revealed that their heirs were twins.

Joss's first public appearance was at his wedding, which was undoubtedly a bombshell.

The wedding was extremely luxurious and high-profile, held in a centuries-old castle with tight security and a gathering of celebrities.
