"Listen carefully. I was with Ryan yesterday and he told me that he is getting back with Freya and soon they are going to announce their engagement." Vance says and I am shocked to my core. He is getting engaged.
"But we have to stop it as I heard Freya talking to someone on the phone." Kathy says.
"We should stop their engagement because you heard her talking on the phone. Why?" I ask.
"Freya was talking to someone saying that as soon as their engagement is announced, not only will his father come out from the edge of bankruptcy but also she will get enough funds to invest in her boyfriend's company too." Kathy says.
"But isn't her boyfriend Ryan right now?" I ask in confusion.
