Chapter 3: I Want to Cancel Our Engagement!
Gretchen was startled but pretended not to understand. "Sis, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing. I just felt that God has been unfair to you since nothing happened to me last night. So, your
plan failed."
Gwenda's sarcasm reached its peak, her tone indifferent.
Panic flashed across Gretchen's face as she wondered in disbelief, "How did she know..."
...
"You're wondering about how I found out, right?"
Gwenda seemed capable of reading minds as she figured out what Gretchen was thinking in a flash.
Gretchen's panic grew. She pinched the palm of her hand to force herself to calm down.
In the next second, tears welled up in her eyes. Raising her head with an innocent and aggrieved
expression on her face, she asked, "Sis, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"
"No, how could you possibly do anything wrong? You're always right!"
Gwenda smiled with contempt.
Gretchen pulled this face all the time, and she used to feel sorry for her.
But now, she just wanted to tear her facade apart!
"Sis?"
Gretchen could not figure out what Gwenda was thinking, but her expression remained innocent.
On the side, Martin could not help but defend her, "Gwenda, what's wrong with you? Gretchen didn't do
anything. Why are you mocking her?"
"Mocking her? That's not the only thing I want to do!"
As she said that, Gwenda slapped Gretchen, causing a loud smack to echo in the room.
...
Gretchen covered her cheek, staggering from the blow. She was shocked.
Martin was stunned for a second before raising his voice. "What the hell, Gwenda? I came all the way
back for you only to be on the receiving end of your sh*tty attitude. Fine, never mind that. But why on
earth are you being mean to Gretchen? Do you know how worried she was about you last night to the
point that she stayed up crying?"
"Oh?"
Gwenda raised her eyebrows once more and asked, "Weren't you on a business trip? How did you
know that she was crying all night to the point of insomnolence?"
"I... " Martin was speechless.
...
"Let me guess."
Gwenda cocked her eyebrow as her smile grew even more sardonic. "Did she call you and tell you that
I had an accident? Then cried like there was no tomorrow, and you had to spend the rest of the night
comforting her?"
"..."
Martin was dumbfounded.
Gwenda sounded like she had seen them with her own eyes.
"Oh, so I got it right?"
Gwenda's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Gretchen wanted to explain, "Sis, it's not what you think..."
"Then what is it supposed to be?"
Gwenda cut her off harshly. "Are you trying to say that you're both innocent? That you have no feelings Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
for him? Or you're saying that you've never had your eye on him this whole time?"
Her sharp tone dealt a devastating blow with every word.
Gretchen was left speechless and pale-faced while Martin was embarrassed, not knowing how to react.
...
Gwenda's visage was frigid. Giving them a look of scorn, she said, "Since we've gotten to this point,
then I'll make myself clear. I want to cancel the engagement."
"You want to cancel the engagement?" Martin's eyes flashed with surprise.
...
Gretchen, too, was surprised.
She finally realised that the Gwenda before her was a completely different person.
In the past, she would never have thought up giving up Martin. So how could she be willing to break off
the engagement...?
"Yes! I'll fulfil your wishes. You don't have to act in front of me anymore."
Gwenda's eyes were frosty. "Get out!"
