Years later, her mother audaciously asked Lily to take Shannon’s place in marrying Loid Laurier for the sale of the Martinez family’s honor despite her previous abandonment of Lily.

Shannon had rejected the marriage proposal herself, yet others accused Lily of stealing her fiancé lan truly felt that Lily was judged unfairly, and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for

He finally understood why Lily always seemed so cold and distant. No one would be happy in her position.

Anya said with a bitter smile, “She doesn’t need the Martinez family’s acknowledgment. She deserves better.”

She shifted her gaze to Lily, who had her back to them. Her figure was slender and desolate, which was heart–wrenching to watch.

tan glanced up but said nothing more. Instead, he quietly made a decision. He was determined to grow stronger so that he could protectly in the future.

When school was dismissed in the afternoon, Loid parked his car at the entrance of Ember Creek High School. Shaun and Daniel were in the car with him Upon seeing Lily exiting the school, Loid opened the car door and took Lily’s satchel With a faint smile, he held her hand and asked, “Feeling down?” When Lily emerged from the school gate, Loid immediately noticed that she didn’t look well

“No, I’m fine,” Lily replied with a frown. She was clearly not in the mood to talk.

Loid didn’t press further. He just took her hand and got into the car.

“He’s so handsome!” As they boarded the car, some girls at the school gate screamed while admiring Lou’s figure

Loid’s chiseled features and aristocratic vibe had captivated the eyes of countless girls.

After Loid picked Lily up in his car and left, several jealous girl began gossiping about them.

“I simply can’t understand why would a man like him be attracted to a country bumpkin like Lily?

“I completely agree with you. Can you believe he broke off his engagement with the Martinez family for Lily? However you view it, Shannon still seems like the better fiancée choice

Shannon was standing behind those girls. As she listened to their discussions, a faint smile finally appeared on her face, which had been gloomy all day

She was happy to know that, in the eyes of others, she was the perfect fiancée choice for Lold

“Shannon, Lily is so good with her tactics. She managed to capture Loid’s heart in just a few days, and now be picks her up from school every day. You need to come up with a plan. We can’t let Lily steal Loid away.” Shelby looked at Laid’s car with a hateful gaze as it disappeared into the distance.

She was previously unaware that Loid face had not been marred. After she saw him with her own eyes, she felt really upset.

That country bumpkin was not deserving of such a high–quality man. She couldn’t tolerate Lily becoming increasingly arrogant with Loid’s backing

“Shelby, please don’t speak about her like that anymore. After all, she’s my sister. I’ll get angry if you keep doing that.” Shannon appeared to chastise Shelby for her words, yet a hint of gloating flickered in her eyes,

“Are you resigned to accept your fiancé being stolen away

y like this? Shelby said indignantly.

Shannon’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam. Accept it willingly? Not in a million years.

Hesigning herself to date was out of the question. She would reclaim what she had lost with her own hands.

Despite her inner turmoil, Shannon maintained a calm composure and said to Shelby, “Alright, let’s go home.”
