She calls off their engagement during an auction, and he thinks she wants to propose to him.

Chapter 2
As Julia walked downstairs, she saw Lawrence lounging in the garden under the sun. There was a rare smile playing at the corner of his mouth."Where's my breakfast?" she asked as she approached him.The moment Lawrence heard her voice, his smile vanished. "I didn't make it.""Why not? You know I always want your breakfast in the morning." Julia frowned. She could sense something was off about Lawrence today."I'm heading out to meet a client and don't have time. You can ask the maid to make it."Lawrence turned to leave, but Julia grabbed his arm."What's wrong?" Noticing his odd behavior, she softened her tone."Is it because I'm getting engaged? That's what my family wants, and I haven't agreed to it yet.""You misunderstood, Ms. Ware. Who you marry is your choice. No matter what, you told me from the start that our relationship is purely physical with no emotional strings attached."He shrugged off her hand and walked away without looking back.When Lawrence returned to th

Chapter 3
When Julia discovered that Lawrence had turned off his phone, she was so furious that she nearly smashed it.He had spent the entire afternoon at a café. For the first time, he felt like time truly belonged to him.It wasn't until dark that he turned his phone back on. Dozens of missed calls and countless messages flooded in."Where are you?"I'm waiting for you at your place. Come back now."Lawrence, I'm giving you half an hour. Come back now."The last message was sent at 3:00 pm, and now it was 6:00 pm.Looking at her messages, Lawrence sneered. Just by reading these, he could imagine how angry Julia must be at that moment.He wandered around, ate some of his favorite foods, and then returned home leisurely.The apartment was pitch dark when he walked in. He bent down to change his shoes. As he flicked on the lights, he saw Julia sitting on the couch.Seeing him come back so late, Julia was seething. "Where have you been? Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting fo

Chapter 4
As Julia turned, the man beside her followed suit.Lawrence's eyes widened when he saw a face strikingly similar to his own. At that moment, every drop of blood in his body seemed to freeze.Who was the man standing next to Julia? Her first love?Lawrence had been with Julia for seven years and never knew she had a man she couldn't forget.A sharp pain pierced his chest. As he turned to leave, Julia called out to him, "Lawrence, you're here!"At his words, the crowd stared at Lawrence and whispered among themselves."Lawrence? Julia's assistant?""Why does he look so much like Patrick?""Didn't you know? He's the substitute. I heard that while Patrick was away for those seven years, Julia found someone to fill in for him. I guess that's him."Their words kept rushing into his ears. Lawrence felt as if someone had wrapped their hands around his neck and was choking the breath out of him."Nice to meet you, Mr. Hale." Julia's first love, Patrick Harrison, approached Lawrence an

Chapter 5
Lawrence had never known he was just a substitute. The moment he saw Patrick, many things he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.He now understood why Julia had always loved giving him that particular tie. It was the one Patrick wore.Looking down, Lawrence felt his eyes begin to tear up.Back at his apartment, still wearing the ruined suit, Lawrence threw the ring he had so joyfully chosen for Julia onto the table. He stared blankly at the moon outside the window.He remembered the first time he met Julia. It was at a bar seven years ago.He had been short on money and worked there as a waiter. Then, he met her. Julia had immediately taken an interest in him and hired him as her assistant.Over time, Lawrence developed feelings for her. Perhaps sensing this, Julia had invited him to become her lover.At that time, she hadn't made their relationship public, and he thought it was just a matter of time before it happened.But now, he understood that he would never be

Chapter 6
"Mr. Hale is here!" one of Lawrence's colleagues shouted.Seeing Julia and Patrick, Lawrence wanted to leave, but it was too late. He was already dragged into the room."Mr. Hale, you're quite influential. Even Ms. Ware came!" someone joked.Lawrence frowned. Had he known she would be there, he wouldn't have come."Ms. Ware, who's this by your side? Care to introduce?" one of Julia's long-time colleagues asked.Lawrence lifted his eyes and saw Julia holding Patrick's hand."Oops, I forgot to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Patrick Harrison. He just returned from being abroad."At that moment, Lawrence thought he heard the sound of his own heart breaking.He had waited for seven years, hoping Julia would finally acknowledge him as her boyfriend. But now, she was officially announcing another man as her partner.The mood in the room grew awkward. Everyone looked at Lawrence.Over the years, he had always been by Julia's side. His contributions to her and her company were w

Chapter 7
In the chaos, Julia, just freed from her restraints, rubbed her red wrists. She asked in confusion, "What money?""It's nothing." Brandon sneered. "This gentleman said if we abducted you and he came to the rescue, he could force you to marry him. What's wrong? Now you want to back out?"Julia's anger exploded as soon as she heard that. "Lawrence Hale! You actually had someone abduct me? Are you out of your mind?"Lawrence looked at Julia and put on a mocking smile. "Can't you tell? I don't even know these people. Besides, do you think I'm that kind of person?"Just then, Patrick appeared at the perfect moment. Julia rushed into his arms, almost on the verge of tears. "I was so scared, Patrick. I never thought Lawrence would be like this!""It's okay. It's fine now. You're too much, Lawrence. Are you even a man?"Although Patrick was scolding him, Lawrence saw a flash of amusement and provocation in Patrick's eyes.Suddenly, he understood.These people were hired by Patrick."W

"No way. He can't be dead! Find him! Dig through the earth if you have to!" Julia ordered.Her legs gave way beneath her, and she couldn't stand.The thought of Lawrence's desperate eyes as she left the night before twisted her heart with pain. "I only wanted them to teach him a lesson. How could he be dead?"She rushed to Echo Chamber, and it was indeed blocked off by the police.As soon as she stepped into the crowd, she overheard snippets of conversation."Such a tragedy. I heard that guy fought to the death with the attackers, but in the end, he was stabbed with a beer bottle.""They say he was beaten so badly. There was blood everywhere. It's just heartbreaking.""Yeah, if someone could've saved him… He must have been so desperate."The voices echoed in Julia's ears. She stiffly moved toward the private room.Inside, the destruction was overwhelming. Shards of glass scattered everywhere, and there was blood everywhere on the floor and walls. It was a horrifying sight.Am

"I'm asking you! Did Lawrence have someone abduct me?" she demanded."Yes!" Patrick pulled her into an embrace. "Jules, you heard what they said that day! It was Lawrence who hired them. If I hadn't shown up in time, who knows what could've happened?""Then why did they beat him up so badly? I only told them to teach him a lesson. If they knew him, how could things have gone so far?" Julia shouted. Her eyes were red with anger."How would I know?" Patrick argued, "Maybe Lawrence staged the whole thing himself. Maybe he disappeared on purpose to get your attention. Otherwise, why would the police still be unable to find him after all this time?"His words slowly brought some life back into Julia's fading hope. "So, you mean... Lawrence's not dead? Yeah, he's definitely not dead!"Patrick saw the light in Julia's eyes, which had faded earlier, slowly starting to gather again. At that moment, he understood something."Jules, have you… fallen for Lawrence?" he asked.The question ma

Chapter 10
After Madeleine left, Megan received a call from her mother, Beatrice Bowman."Megan, since you're back, can I start planning your blind date?" Beatrice asked."Yes, I'm ready anytime, as long as he agrees.""You're so eager, huh? Make sure you try your best and get married soon, okay?""Don't worry, Mom. I will."After hanging up, Megan smiled. She wanted nothing more than to marry him.…Lawrence hadn't returned to his apartment and had rented a place elsewhere. After he settled in, Maddison called."You've gotten bold, Lawrence! Why didn't you answer my calls these past few days? Are you avoiding the blind date?"The moment he answered, he could hear Maddison's excited voice.He had been unconscious for several days, and Maddison had called him countless times, but he hadn't picked up."Listen, that young lady is back. Go meet her now, or you can forget about coming home for Christmas!"Before Lawrence could explain, Maddison angrily hung up.He felt a headache coming o
