"Kevin, I don't want to hear any more of your meaningless words," said Desi, her expression filled with determination. Kevin's words worried, unsettled, and pressured her. Kevin's lack of respect for Desi also insulted her. "Meaningless? Have you thought about what you're saying, Desi?" Kevin raised his voice in criticism. He felt frustrated and dissatisfied for not being able to convince Desi to accept his point of view. It's evident that both of them are in a very tense state. This debate is very intense. Outside, Ansel was shocked to hear a familiar name from Desi's mouth. To confirm whether the person Desi was referring to was Kevin, his friend, or not, Ansel gently opened the door to peek inside. Ansel's eyes widened when he saw Kevin standing in the middle of the room, facing Desi. Kevin's face at this time looked very agitated. Suspicion immediately arose in Ansel's mind about Desi and Kevin. What are they talking about? Ansel couldn't guess. Ansel has never doubted the rela
Ansel left in bewilderment. He was thinking a lot about what he had just heard and seen, as well as about what he needed to do after discovering Desi and Kevin's betrayal. At this moment, Ansel was truly at a loss as to what to do. Should he continue with his plan to propose to Desi, or should he cancel it? If he cancels the plan, then his parents' reaction is what worries Ansel the most. He may face strong opposition from his parents. His parents may become so angry that it could affect their health. Of course, Ansel has every legitimate reason to protect himself. But if he has to reveal the truth for his own benefit, it means the truth must be disclosed. Ansel, however, is not so heartless as to expose the dark secret of Desi's affair with Kevin in public or in front of his parents. If Ansel let everything go according to plan, then, oh, Ansel felt restless. Wouldn't that be very unfair to Ansel? Betrayal is something that can never be forgiven, in Ansel's view. If there is an exc
After talking with Erica, Ansel felt much relief. It seemed like the knot in his heart as well as his mind had been released. However, he still felt a bit pressured as he stepped into the crowded hall. Upon seeing Ansel, some guests stopped talking and stared at him. Instead of looking foolish, Ansel tried to pretend not to notice anyone. Suddenly, a trusted friend of Ansel's father approached him. He whispered in Ansel's ear that a special event was about to begin. "Madame is calling for the young master," the person said, pointing towards the stage. Ansel looked up at the stage and saw his parents standing on it, realizing everything. Ansel turned to the messenger and said, "I know. Thank you." Afterward, Ansel quickly moved toward the stage. Seeing Ansel approaching, some guests actively moved aside, giving way to him. Ansel chose to stand far from the podium placed in the middle of the stage, along with his mother and some other people. Meanwhile, Ansel's father was standing in
"Erica," Ansel called out, causing her to startle and turn around. Erica's eyes widened as she saw Ansel standing before her, his gaze filled with affection, causing her heart to race with unease. What was happening? Why was Ansel here? Erica's mind frantically searched for answers but didn't know where to begin or how to approach the situation. She couldn't afford to be passive and just wait for someone else to help her. "Ansel, what's going on? Why are you here?" Erica mustered up the courage to ask Ansel directly, her voice faltering slightly. Not just Erica, but everyone in the auditorium was left with a big question mark in their heads about this unexpected situation. Everyone was expecting Ansel to propose to Desi, but surprisingly, he stopped in front of Erica, an ordinary and unremarkable girl who was completely unfamiliar to everyone. People couldn't contain their surprise, curiosity, and astonishment at seeing the two of them standing facing each other. All eyes were on Er
The love kiss made both Ansel and Erica lose their guard, and they quickly immersed themselves in this unforgettable moment. When they parted, Ansel smiled brightly at Erica, feeling like he had just won the lottery. And Erica shyly laughed back. The emotions of both were very genuine at this moment, but their rational minds were conflicting with their hearts, thinking that it wasn't real and that they were just pretending to act for the audience. After that, without any hesitation, Ansel confidently announced to the crowd: "Dear all, this is Erica. The woman I love and want to marry as my wife, please wish us happiness." The crowd immediately erupted with lively reactions. Most of them were skeptical and began whispering to each other, asking if Ansel was joking. Others scrutinized and discussed Erica, criticizing her as plain and unworthy of Ansel's love. Desi's father's face turned red with anger, and Desi herself was boiling, preparing to confront Ansel in front of everyone. Kev
"Desi Scott, watch your words." Ansel snapped, angrily rebuking the girl for insulting Erica. "I won't allow you to offend Erica." "How dare you defend her?" Desi seethed, raising her voice. "Do you think you can easily bully me? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you. Today, I will demand justice for myself at any cost." Aware of the crowd watching, Desi turned to Erica and used a harsh and condemning tone to undermine and tarnish Erica's reputation: "You are a despicable third party, ruining the relationship between me and Ansel. Women like you have no integrity. You are a sly fox, stealing other people's men. People like you will never have good outcomes." Erica was a bit taken aback by Desi's rude behavior. She considered speaking up to defend herself, but Ansel intervened first. "Desi Scott, kindly mind your language!" Ansel exclaimed with anger, his gaze piercing her, causing Desi to recoil in apprehension. The others felt uneasy about Desi's reckless actions and feared that
As Erica checked Ansel's father's heartbeat and observed his breathing, she was suddenly shocked to learn that Ansel was perfectly fine. His condition is just that he is closing his eyes to relax. What is going on here? Erica felt confused and bewildered. She trusts her expertise and cannot misdiagnose a patient's condition. "What's the matter, Erika?" Ansel stood nearby and anxiously asked Seeing Erica's puzzled expression, Ansel suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Is something wrong with his father? If so, Ansel will never forgive Desi, that's for sure. Erica looked at Ansel, feeling somewhat hesitant. But then she realized that all eyes were also on her. It was only then that Erica understood that Ansel's father had pretended to have a heart attack to prevent a serious scandal from erupting. Ansel's father was trying to protect his family, which also meant protecting Ansel and Erica herself. It can be seen that Ansel's father was very wise in handling the situation, which was conside
After a moment of hesitation, Erica chose to deceive herself with her feelings when giving the answer: "Because you asked me for help. We are friends, so I can't forgive you when you're in trouble. towel". Erica said, avoiding looking at Ansel for too long. She feared that her resolute attempt to conceal her feelings would be shaken. Erica's reaction made Ansel feel sad and disappointed. He wanted to explain to Erica that his proposal at the party was real, not fake. He loves her and wants to build a future together. Unfortunately, Erica believes Ansel just needs her help. She did not feel Ansel's sincere love. Ansel feels that her feelings for Erica are not reciprocated, as she only sees him as a friend. Meanwhile, Erica worries that Ansel will discover her personal feelings with her help. Erica doesn't want Ansel to know about her unrequited love for him, which will only hurt her even more because she thinks Ansel doesn't love her. Ansel felt desperate and didn't know what to do at
