Before evening, the news had spread throughout the circle.
The marriage between Harper and Grant Families was likely to be canceled.
Marcus Grant publicly called off the engagement in front of the media, which had already
caused a commotion.
Today, the Harper family’s esteemed young lady actually publicly annulled the engagement at her own birthday party, right in front of everyone.
They say Marcus Grant’s expression was quite remarkable at the time.
The head of the Grant family picked up the teapot and smashed it over Marcus’s head, drawing
blood.
“Nonsense!”
I stood by and was splashed with water.
“Who told you to make a scene outside?”
My father looked angry: “Annul the engagement, huh? This was arranged long ago by your grandfather and the Grant family, and you just annul it in front of everyone?”
I straightened my back without blinking.
“We are currently cooperating with the Grant family, now that the engagement is annulled, what happens if the Grant Corporation withdraws from the current project?”
“You go and apologize to the Grant family, say it was a moment of impulse, that your words were unrestrained…”
“I won’t go.” I replied decisively.
“You won’t go? What do you plan to do if you don’t?”
“Annul the engagement.”
“You…” My dad pointed at me, “I think you’re mad!”
He slammed the door and left.
