    Vera didn’t nce back at her friends as she quickly grabbed her bag and rushed out of the spa.


    However, the moment she stepped outside, several reporters immediately surrounded her. They


    bombarded her with awkward and ufortable questions, making Vera’splexion pale even


    further. “Noment. His engagement has nothing to do with me. I genuinely wish him all the


    best.”


    She managed to maintain a dignified response.


    Pushing through the reporters, she hurried back to her car and drove away quickly.


    Once she left, her friends emerged from the spa, exchanging bewildered nces as they watched


    her car speed off.


    This was unusual. It seemed Vera was genuinely flustered.


    Until now, she had always appeared indifferent, but her reaction today suggested otherwise. She


    seemed genuinely concerned and panicked.


    As they looked at each other, an unspoken understanding passed among them. Maintaining


    appearance was sometimes crucial in their social circle, where they often ran into one another.


    Inside the car, Vera’s phone buzzed incessantly with callsing in. She parked in an underground


    parking lot of a nearby shopping mall.


    She stared at her phone in the parking lot, which continued to buzz incessantly. There were calls


    from friends, the Ruell family members, and even some unfamiliar numbers.


    Her WhatsApp buzzed incessantly with notifications.


    Her mind was nk. She felt as if she were in a daze.


    She couldn’t believe what had happened.


    Joe was now engaged to Lizzie. She pondered whether he had divorced Skr. If he had, she still


    couldn’tprehend why he chose someone else–someone entirely unfamiliar to her, a violinist, a


    stranger.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Suddenly, Molly’s name came to her mind, prompting her to dial her number quickly.


    Molly answered almost immediately. “You told me that if I ced the statue you gave me in my


    bedroom, Joe wouldpletely despise Skr, and they would end their marriage, right? They


    must have divorced, but instead of proposing to me, he’s engaged to someone else. Did you y


    me for a fool? How could I have ever believed you?”


    Vera unleashed all her pent–up frustration on Molly. She had trusted her wholeheartedly, and now


    this was the oue. It was unbearable.


    Just moments ago, her friends had looked at her as if she were the punchline of the biggest joke


    ever. She had been waiting for Joe to take the initiative and approach her, feeling confident in her


    expectations. But in the moment she felt assured, it was as if she had been pped hard across the


    face, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.


    Molly was flustered and replied, “Logically, he shouldn’t be engaged to anyone else. The ring or the


    statue I gave you should have helped you achieve your wishes. You and Joe have been in contact


    recently, so this shouldn’t be the oue.

    “Something must have happened that we’re unaware of. I’ll make sure to investigate Lizzie


    thoroughly. Don’t panic. It’s just an engagement, not a wedding. There’s no need to lose your


    composure over this.” While she might have said that, Molly understood well that she must have


    targeted the wrong person. In truth, Joe had never truly liked Vera from the beginning. So, the


    negative item couldn’t have influenced Joe’s feelings toward her. However, she couldn’t share that


    with Vera right now.


    After hearing Molly’s words, Vera’s emotions calmed slightly.


    “Could Skr discover the ring I dropped at Gxy Vi? Did she take the opportunity to do


    something?” Vera bit her lip and voiced her doubts.
