A cold, low male voice came through the receiver. “Sorry, but I think this needs to be made clear, for everyone’s sake.”

Yulia shouted, “It’s not for everyone’s sake! I want to marry you! Do you understand? I want to marry you!”

“Yulia, don’t do this.”

“Xavier, why are you treating me like this? Is it really that hard to marry me?”

There was a pause on the other end; then he spoke again, still patient but firm. “There’s no future for us.”

“Why? Did you fall for someone else?”

“Yes.”

Yulia could almost hear the string inside her snap. On the other end, Xavier had already hung up.

She stared blankly at her phone, too afraid to ask who the other woman was.

Was it Becky? No way. Xavier couldn’t possibly like Becky.

Yulia broke down, sobbing.

That cold, refined persona–she’s not like that at all, okay? It was all an act, something she put on for outsiders.

Meanwhile, Grace was in the middle of a board game with a group of wealthy ladies, basking in her glory.

Everyone envied her daughter for landing Dracovia’s most eligible bachelor–Xavier. He had everything, ability, family background, wealth, looks; a complete package.

In all of Dracovia, there probably weren’t many families that didn’t want to marry their daughters off to Xavier.

And yet it was the Moore family that struck gold. Everyone congratulated them with smiles, though secretly, they were eating their hearts out.

Grace, of course, loved to brag. After just a few rounds of the game, her mouth hadn’t stopped running.

Everyone was sick of it, but no one could say anything.

After all, she was about to become Xavier’s mother–in–law.

Just as Grace was feeling smug, one of the ladies gasped and walked over, phone in hand, giving Grace a pointed look.

Grace blinked in confusion. “What?”

“See for yourself.”

The woman showed her Xavier’s public statement.

Grace’s face changed instantly. She immediately denied it. “It’s fake!”

The other women had seen the statement too.

One of them spoke up. “It’s real. Glory Corp posted it, with Xavier’s official scal.”

Grace refused to believe it. “It must be a rumor!”

She shoved her game pieces aside. “I’m done. Not in the mood.”

She grabbed her purse and stormed off. The ladies behind her were already gossiping, their laughter echoing through the room.

Grace quickened her pace like something was chasing her..

Back home, she burst into Yulia’s room, yanked her out of bed, and started yelling at her.

“You useless girl! You were one step away from marrying into the Bolton family, and this is what happens? You’ve humiliated me out there!”

Xavier straightened up, towering over her and blocking the streetlight.

“That’s the only reason?”

Becky nodded. “Yeah. By the way, have you two set a date yet?”

“What, planning to attend?”

Becky waved it off. “Nah, just curious. With my status, showing up would only make things awkward.”

Xavier asked, “You haven’t seen the news?”

“Nope,” Becky said. “Sharon told me about it–said your engagement was officially announced.”

Xavier figured as much. This woman didn’t care at all; she hadn’t even seen the statement he released.

“My engagement makes you happy, doesn’t it?”

Becky felt like he was asking way too many questions.

Still, she answered, “We may be divorced, but you’re still James‘ dad. Of course I want good things for you. If you’ve found happiness, I genuinely wish you well.”

Xavier kicked the lamppost hard. To hell with happiness.

He wasn’t happy at all, he was furious, with nowhere to let it out. Becky flinched at the sudden movement.

“What was that for?”

Xavier muttered, “Didn’t like the look of it.”
