Chapter 163: Engagement Ceremony Cancelled
Chapter 163: Engagement Ceremony Cancelled
Jane got out of the taxi, her pretty face cold as ice. She walked straight towards the center stage of
the banquet hall, stepping on the red carpet. Her feet felt like they were filled with lead, each step
heavy and burdensome.
"Jane, why are you alone? Where''s Patrick? Isn''t he with you?" Old Pansy stood up when he saw
Jane approaching and asked with concern.
Jane paused for a moment before answering expressionlessly, "He''s noting."
"What?" Old Pansy was shocked.
What did Jane mean?
Why wouldn''t Patricke?
What happened to him?
Old Pansy wanted to ask more questions but Jane walked past him directly and headed forward
with a determined look in her eyes.
Everyone present could feel that something was off about Jane. They whispered among
themselves:
"What happened?"
"Why is there only one bride here? Where''s Mr. Pansy?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Did Mr. Pansy get cold feet at thest minute?"
In front of everyone''s astonished gaze, Jane stepped onto the stage step by step.
The emcee was preparing on stage when he saw Jane walking towards him and hurriedly greeted
her: "Miss North, the engagement ceremony hasn''t started yet. You can take a break first."
But Janepletely ignored him and took the microphone from his hand directly.
She looked into space for a moment before clearing her throat and taking a deep breath. With firm
determination in her voice she said: "Tonight''s engagement ceremony is cancelled."
As soon as these words came out of Jane''s mouth it was like throwing a huge rock into calm waters
causing massive waves to rise up suddenly...
It was too sudden...
There were no signs beforehand...
All guests present were shocked looking at jane standing on stage; they looked at each other in
confusion while discussing:
"Why did jane suddenly cancel their engagement ceremony? Is this some kind of joke?"
"She must have been dumped right?"
"Exactly! A wealthy family should marry someone who matches their status; how could someone
like her who came from rural areas be sincerely engaged to Mr. Pansy?"
Ignoring all these discussions below them, Jane remained indifferent. Florence couldn''t hide
excitement from appearing on her face, she nced over Erica beside herself,"Is jane crazy or
what?"
Erica tried to please Florence,"Who knows? Maybe Mr. Pansy discovered what she really is, and
dumped her."
Florence agreed happily,"Yes! That must be it! Finally Patrick has seen through this shameless fox
spirit''s true colors!"
"Florence, I told you that Mr. Pansy and Jane were just ying around, how could they really be
engaged? Now you don''t have to worry anymore, the position of Mrs. Pansy will definitely be yours."
Erica kept ttering Florence.
Florence nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, reporters surrounded them with excitement.
The CEO of Pansy Group suddenly cancelled his engagement on the eve of the ceremony - this
was explosive news!
"Miss North, why did you cancel the engagement ceremony?"
"Miss North, did Mr. Pansy know about your decision to cancel tonight''s ceremony?"
"Miss North, did something happen between you and Mr. Pansy?"
One question after another bombarded Jane.
Jane simply smiled faintly and said: "I''m sorry but I won''t ept any interviews. The engagement
ceremony is cancelled for tonight - please leave."
When Patrick arrived at the entrance of Emperor Hotel''s banquet hall he saw this scene:
Jane - his beloved woman - wearing a red dress he personally picked out for her that made her look
even more charming and tall.
She was so stunningly beautiful it made his heart race... But when she spoke it was so cold: "The
engagement ceremony is cancelled for tonight."
Cancelled... His heart sank as soon as he heard those words from her lips.
Why? Patrick didn''t understand why she would do this to him... He had spent eight days preparing
everything ording to Jane''s preferences; everything was perfect! He had been looking forward to
their engagement party all week long; he wanted nothing more than to share their happiness with
everyone else there that night…
He even prepared a special gift just for her – something handmade by himself – which would make
her feel like the happiest woman in the world…
Patrick rushed over here without Candy (his car), ran two red lights along the way just so he could
see Jane earlier… But now what? Why would she cancel their engagement party like this? Why
didn''t she tell him beforehand?
"Mr. Pansy''s here!" someone shouted in surprise when they saw Patrick standing at the door with
an icy expression on his face.
Immediately, reporters rushed forward, jostling to get their microphones in front of Patrick.
"Mr. Pansy, did you know beforehand that Miss North was going to cancel the engagement
ceremony?"
"Mr. Pansy, can you tell us..."
Before the reporter could finish his question, Patrick''s eyes turned red and his handsome face
became as cold as ice. He spoke icily: "Get lost!"
Patrick''s aura was so strong that the reporters shuddered and fell silent.
With a chilling air about him and a terrifyingly dark expression on his face, Patrick walked towards
Jane step by step.
Feeling a chill run down her spine, Jane furrowed her brows but met Patrick''s cold gaze without
fear.
Was he willing toe back from Candy for this?

Was he so angry because she had cancelled their engagement before him?
Now everyone knew it was Jane who dumped Patrick; was he angry because of losing face?
Ha!
In fact, shouldn''t Patrick be happy instead?
She broke off the engagement which meant he could be with Candy without any guilt or shame.
Moreover since it was her idea to break up first , Patrick wouldn''t have been used of fickleness if
they got back togetherter on.
Why is he still so angry then?
As she watched the man with an icy demeanor approach her step by step, Jane''s lips curled into a
mocking smile.
But before she could say anything, Patrik grabbed her wrist with great force.
"You..."Jane hadn''t even reacted yet when Patrik pulled her behind stage into a dressing room and
pressed her against the wall.
"Patrick let me go!"Jane struggled against Patrik''s grip but couldn''t free herself from his hold.
Patrik remained unmoved, his hands firmly gripping hers. He towered over Jane, gazing down at
her with deep-set eyes filled with anger that she couldn''t understand.
After what seemed like an eternity, Patrik finally cleared his throat, his voice hoarse as he
suppressed his rage."Jane... why?"
