+8 Pearls

The hotel’s banquet hall shone beautifully with glasses clinking all around. A carefully arranged engagement party was happening in full swing.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate a very special occasion. It is my great honor to officially introduce to you the engaged couple, Mr. Vincent Dester and Ms. Amelia Nygard …

Before the host could finish, a phone started ringing.

Vincent took out his phone. When he answered, a woman’s trembling and crying voice came through. “Vincent, I… I had a car accident. It really hurts. I’m scared…

”

Vincent’s expression changed immediately. “Gianna, don’t be afraid. I’ll come right away.”

“But… it’s your engagement party…”

He didn’t wait to hear the rest. Turning to the host, he said, “The engagement is canceled.”

Amelia, one of the stars of today’s event, stood beside him. She saw the sudden change in his eyes, like he had just been hit in the chest.

Vincent didn’t even look at her. He turned around and rushed toward the exit.

“Vincent!” Amelia instinctively reached for his sleeve but only caught empty air.

“Amelia, I’m sorry. Gianna was in a car accident. You should go home first,” Vincent said gently.

“What if I don’t want you to leave? This is our engagement party. If she’s in an accident, shouldn’t she call the police? Why do you have to go?”

And besides, she has three older brothers she could’ve called!

Why does it always have to be him?

Clearly, she’s up to something.

Vincent frowned. “Amelia, don’t be unreasonable. This is a serious matter.”

“You know I don’t like her. Are you my fiancé or hers?” Amelia’s eyes stayed calm, steady as still water.

She had wanted to ask this for a long time.

Vincent was supposed to be her fiancé, but whenever Gianna Nygard had any trouble, he would drop everything to be by her

side.

The worst part was that Gianna knew how to put on an act. She always schemed against Amelia. The Amelia, and her place in the family became weaker.

But Amelia was the real daughter of the Nygards, one of the wealthiest families in Brookhaven.

Six years ago, Amelia disappeared during a family banquet.

The Nygards tried everything to find her, but she was never found

Woards began to dislike

Rumors spread outside the family. Some said she must be dead or have been taken to a faraway rural place and would never come back.

Six months later, her father, Raymond Nygard, brought home another girl, Gianna Nygard.

He told everyone that Cianna was the daughter of the man who had saved his life,

Before dying, that person asked him to take care of his child.

Gianna’s mother had died young, and her past was full of sadness. The Nygards were told to treat her kindly.

Chapter 1 The Engagement Party Is Canceled

Little by little, Gianna took over Amelia’s place in the family.

She was sweet, pretty, talented, and knew how to act in front of people. She quickly won over Raymond and the rest of the family.

Even in social circles, she became known as the “daughter of the Nygards.”

The Nygards were proud of her, thinking she was the real heiress.

But then, four years later, Amelia suddenly returned..

No one knew what had happened to her during those years.

She had become quieter, more distant, and carried a coldness in her personality.

The Nygards cared a lot about appearances. To them. Amelia was an embarrassment, a stain on the family, hard to like.

Even when she did everything they asked and agreed to a marriage alliance, they still humiliated her.

“Stop it, Amelia! What’s gotten into you? Gianna’s in trouble and you’re causing a scene?” her mother, Emery Palmer, shouted.

Amelia only gave a cold laugh. She had expected this reaction.

Vincent’s eyes showed a mix of emotions. “Amelia, now is not the time to throw a fit. Gianna …

“Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me,” Amelia said sharply, her voice making the entire hall feel colder.

Her oldest brother, Marcelo Nygard, shouted, “Amelia, what’s wrong with your She’s your little sister!”

“Sorry, I don’t have a sister like her. If she stays, I’m leaving” Amelia shot back without hesitation,

Her second brother, Miguel Nygard, added, “How can you be so heartless? Gianna has always been good to you. Why do you keep picking on her?”

Vincent patted Amelia’s shoulder and tried to reassure her. “Amelia, be good. Now’s not the time to get jealous. Gianna might be in real danger. I’ll feel better if I go check on her.”

For some reason, Amelia seemed different today.

A strange unease rose in his heart.

Usually, if Gianna were involved, Amelia would get angry right away. But today, she looked unusually calm.

Still, Vincent just wanted to check on Gianna.

He was definitely going to marry Amelia, because he had reasons he couldn’t ignore.

Meanwhile, the third brother, Maxwell Nygard, was anxious. “Come on, your engagemerit is already ser Missing the party won’t change anything

“Yeah, it’s just a ceremony. Isn’t someone’s life more important than that?” another person said, sounding critical.

But Amelia didn’t move. She kept her eyes locked on Vincent.

That’s when an angry female voice cut through the room. “I can’t take this anymore! Vincent, are you a doctor or what? Do you have something going on with Gianna? Why does she always call you when there’s trouble? And why does she always need the hospital whenever you’re with Amelia? Is she cursed or something?”

It was Josie Hutton, Amelia’s best friend. She knew how much this engagement party meant to Amelia.

But once again, that witch Gianna had ruined it

Josie couldn’t even remember how many times this had happened!

“Ms. Hutton” Vincent’s voice turned icy. “Mind your words!”
