Of course, this step had already been reached, it is impossible to cancel the marriage.


    Although the Tassis family and the Caza family had not been publicly announced.


    -What happens now? Since Miss Sanchez could do something as extreme as a suicide threat, naturally?


    Mercedes kept talking worriedly, without saying too much, but Isabel’s mother understood her concerns because she was equally worried.


    Vanessa was the only one who seemed distracted.


    He actually remembered thest time he went to the resort with Benjamin, when he had clearly agreed to apany her to the fireworks show and the spa, but Benjamin suddenly had something to do and didn’t keep his promise.


    I knew Benjamin well, even if I didn’t know much about him.


    I wouldn’t have missed the appointment if something hadn’t happened that I really couldn’t put off. Maybe that time it was Miss Sanchez who kept bothering Benjamin on that asion.


    Now that is a sensitive issue.


    Vanessa thought she could try to start a new life with Benjamin, but she didn’t expect someone else to unreasonablye between them.


    Love triangle was not destined to have a good ending.


    Not to mention that Isabel mightmit suicide for Benjamin.


    Vanessa smiled bitterly; her luck was still bad after all. Benjamin, the man who could give her a new life, would soon be out of her life, perhaps. Still, she had to struggle in the mud.


    Dn was now satisfied.


    At the expected party nothing happened, and Mercedes took Vanessa straight back, iming she was tired.


    The atmosphere on the road was terribly depressing.


    Vanessa wanted to talk to Mercedes, tofort her, but every time she turned her head, she saw Mercedes’ tired look and had to swallow her words.


    She knew how much she was looking forward to tonight’s banquet and how much importance she attached to it, but who would have thought that something like this would happen at thest moment. It would be a lie to say she was not disappointed.


    He really didn’t know how tofort his mother.


    They were both silent.


    -Well, don’t think about it too much, get some rest.


    Mercedes patted Vanessa’s hand with a reassuring smile and turned to go up to her room.


    Looking at Mercedes’ back, Vanessa suddenly realised that her mother had already aged.


    Evidently, not so long ago she was all energy, howe she suddenly became so energetic? Did today’s past really affect her so much?


    Vanessa clenched her hands, thinking worriedly.


    Closing the door, Mercedes could take no more and coughed violently.


    Her face quickly turned pale and her body almost copsed as if she had lost her strength. mercedes hurriedly grabbed onto a nearby cupboard, which prevented her from falling.


    It took him a while to feel better before he slowly made his way to the bed and sat up.


    Opening the drawer of the bedside table, he took out the pill bottle and opened it, poured in a few pills, counted them out and swallowed them right away.


    The pills were bitter. Mercedes sighed with a heavy expression.


    Why did your daughter have such a hard life?


    It was not so easy to be happy and cheerful again, but it was lost again.


    She didn’t know how long her own body wouldst, in case even she had died in the future, Mercedes thought, her eyes suddenly red with worry.


    On the roof.


    Benjamin’s eyes were cold as he looked at Isabel, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop with her mobile phone in her hand, smiling as if she couldn’t see his pent-up anger.


    -Benjamin, there you are.


    Elizabeth’s heart filled with joy, she knew that Benjamin would not leave her alone.


    -Benjamin, my legs are numb, will youe and put me down? -he said in a tender voice.


    He didn’t feel the least bit guilty about threatening suicide, not even a little bit. This made Benjamin’s anger even more uncontroble, but he could not show it. Strong self-control repressed his anger.


    Benjamin finally took a step, a few steps forward.


    Isabel smiled and opened her hand with adoring eyes.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    -Benjamin, it’s been a long time and I’ve missed you.


    Benjamin said nothing and silently took Isabel down from the rooftop. He was about toy her down on the ground when Isabel grabbed his arm.


    -My legs are numb, I can’t walk. Benjamin, can you bear to see me fall straight to the ground? -said Isabel with a look of resignation.


    The corners of Benjamin’s forehead were bruised and bouncing, clearly furious to the core. He was about to let go, but Isabel clung to him.


    -I’ll go back to the roof if Benjamin takes me down again, anyway there’s no point in me living if Benjamin doesn’t want me.


    If I had known that the threat of suicide would be so useful, I would have used it long ago.


    It is the desire to be embraced by Benjamin, to be in his arms.


    Benjamin’s body stiffened and his muscles tensed. If it weren’t for the friendship between the two families, he would have wanted to simply leave Isabel behind and walk away.


    It was Benjamin who finally made themitment.


    She clenched her fists and left with Isabel in her arms, her face expressionless.


    He then entered the lift, got out and left the building….


    Elizabeth clung to Benjamin’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest.


    Others would have thought they were a couple in love.


    After Benjamin put her in the car, Isabel’s lips curved slyly into a smirk of triumphant satisfaction.


    Unbeknownst to him, his actions were to Elizabeth’s liking, which made her n even more perfect.


    Benjamin’s parents were relieved to hear that Elizabeth had returned safely.


    When they saw Isabel in the salon, theyined about her and her attitude was not as close as before.


    After a few unkind words of greeting, the butler sent Elizabeth to rest. She was immersed in joy, unaware of the strange situation, and came out with the same charming and affectionate smile as before.


    I will go and rest then, and to-morrow I will dine with you and my uncle.


    Once Isabel left, the mood in the room became even more sombre.


    -Where are Auntie and Vanessa?


    Benjamin was thinking about Vanessa and how she had let them down and wronged them tonight. He thought his parents would leave her behind, so that at least he could go back and exin himself.


    -Your aunt said she was tired and had to go first, and Vanessa went with her. What are we going to do now? Your aunt must be very disappointed, and Vanessa must be very upset.


    -I’m going out.


    I had to go to the Caza house and exin to Vanessa personally and apologise to her mother.
