Chapter 853 How Could She ept Such a Drastic Downgrade?
The reaction of those who usually had a good rtionship with Marcus was calm, but those who had
hidden grudges against him couldn’t help but take pleasure in his misfortune.
In the past, the Wace family had shown off many times with this excellent
marriage proposal. Who would have thought it would turn out to be a scam?
“So, it’s really a twisted fate,” a well-dressed woman in the crowd remarked.
Marcus’s face darkened slightly, but he didn’t say much, given the asion.
The woman continued, “I think flies don’tnd on seamless eggs. If it weren’t for…
it probably wouldn’t have been so easy to fool her.”
“Today is a joyous asion in my family. If you sincerely came to celebrate, I’d
naturally wee you. But if you don’t know how to speak properly, I’ll have to
ask you to leave,” Marcus finally couldn’t tolerate it any longer and said with a
furrowed brow.
The woman was taken aback, not expecting Marcus, who was usually quite
amiable, to have such a firm side.
She opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Helin and her fiancé gracefully descended the
stairs, leaving Charlotte and Joe slightly stunned.
What they didn’t expect was that Helin’s fiancé turned out to be Eleanor.
Eleanor’s smile froze when he saw Charlotte and Joe, never expecting to
encounter these two figures here.
Sensing the awkwardness of those around him, Helin looked at him in confusion
and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Eleanor shook his head and replied, “Nothing.”
Helin withdrew her gaze, and a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes as she
lowered them.
From the very beginning, she had no interest in Eleanor.
Having grown up in the same social circle, she had heard rumors about Eleanor.
He was known for his yboy lifestyle,cked responsibility, and was fortunate
enough to be the only son of the Dryden family, which earned him their favor.
If it were just an arranged marriage, Helin might have been able to ept it.
But with such a stark contrast right in front of her, how could she possibly ept
such a drastic downgrade?
Helin’s gaze fell upon Joe and Charlotte, and she clenched her wedding gown
involuntarily.
And so, the pair of prospective newlyweds arrived before Charlotte and Joe,
each harboring their own secrets.
Marcus smiled warmly at both of them and said, “All the past incidents were due
to Helin’s youthful ignorance. We hope you can forgive her.”
He gave Helin a discreet nce, and despite her reluctance, Helin could only
pick up the champagne ss from the tray behind her and apologize to
Charlotte, “I was in the wrong before. I hope you can forgive me.”
Helin’s face was filled with grievances, and her eyes even welled up slightly.
If anyone unaware of the truth saw this scene, they might assume that Charlotte
was taking advantage of her.
Helin raised her ss and emptied it in one gulp.
After finishing her drink, Helin’s gaze fell back onto Charlotte.
Charlotte was about to take a sip of her drink in response when Joe gently took
the ss from her hand and downed its contents.
“Her health isn’t great, so let me have this drink for her,” Joe remarked.
Charlotte and Joe exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken understanding
fueling the mes of jealousy in Helin.
She wished she could rush forward, forcefully pulling the tightly entwined couple
apart, as far away from each other as possible.
She was clearly engaged to “Joe,” so why did it all end up as a scam in the end?
Recognizing her thoughts, Helin took a deep breath, regained herposure,
