Noah silently stared at Aurora thoughtfully.
Feeling chills down her spine, Aurora questioned, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"
Noah thought for a moment and said, "Your parents want you to get married, and I share that same predicament.
Since we're already in a scandal, why don't we...work together?"
Aurora stared at him warily. "What...do you mean by that?"
"I mean, our families are of equal status. Neither of our parents wants us to marry just anyone, so why don't we just
pretend like we're together? That way, you won't have to go home, and I can keep doing what I like!"
The more Noah elaborated, the more convinced he was sure his plan could work. "You can go back to filming
movies, and I can keep my cats... Once the time is right, we can dissolve the engagement. Isn’t that perfect?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAurora hesitated.
She still wanted to be an actress and did not want to get married so soon. After knowing Noah for years, they knew
each other well, and his proposal seemed workable.
"Will they believe us?" Aurora said hesitantly. "What if they insist we get married immediately?"
Acting was one thing, but getting married would be a significant sacrifice.
Noah suggested, "Let's get engaged for now to appease them. We can delay the wedding for a while. Doing so for a
year or two won't raise any suspicion. During this time, if we happen to find our respective true love, we can break
off the engagement immediately. What do you think?"
An engagement seemed like a reasonable compromise to Aurora. "Alright, let's do that."
With a handshake, their decision was made.
At that moment, both of them had simple intentions and were merely trying to appease their families.
Little did they know, this engagement they decided on would never be dissolved as they planned.
Vicky did not appear even three days after Harvey woke up.
While it could be passed off as Vicky being tired and busy, it became less believable as she barely texted or called.
Soon, Harvey figured out what was going on.
Unable to hide the truth any longer, Jennifer and Cece finally told Harvey everything they knew.
On the evening of the fourth day, Vicky finally reappeared.
Harvey was sitting by the bedside, browsing through recent news when he heard a knock at the door. Assuming it
was a nurse, he looked up.
His eyes lit up when he saw the familiar figure. "Vicky, you're here..."
His delight lasted only a few seconds, and his expression slowly darkened when he noticed the person
accompanying Vicky.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mister Sparks, are you feeling better?" The man who entered behind Vicky met Harvey's gaze with a faint smile."
You seem to be in good spirits. I assume your recovery is going well."
Harvey looked at Vicky, who remained silent. "Vicky."
Vicky removed the engagement ring she had been wearing on her hand since her birthday. "Harvey, let's break off
our engagement."
Harvey's face showed no signs of anger or surprise. "He used my life to blackmail you, didn't he?"
"I've never liked you, and agreeing to your proposal was just out of circumstances. I'm sorry," Vicky said in a
monotone.
Harvey locked his gaze onto her. "Vicky, you didn't answer my question."
Before Vicky could respond, a cold, indifferent voice cut in from the side. "Does the answer matter? Whether she
likes you or was coerced by me... In the end, isn't it all the result of your incompetence? You can't even protect your
fiancee."
