After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Chapter 923

"Why did you do this?" Sidney's gaze remained fixed on Fawn, his confusion still gnawing at him.

Tears welled up in Fawn's eyes as she cried, "It's her! She's the one who ruined everything! If it weren't for her, you would have agreed to marry me! I wouldn't have to go through with this arranged marriage. I hate her!" Sidney's frown deepened. "It wasn't her. She never tried to stop anything. I was the one who didn't want to marry you."

"Why?" Fawn's voice trembled with disbelief. "Why didn't you want to marry me? When I proposed it, I saw you hesitate. You were considering it! Why would you change your mind?"

She stared at him, convinced he was lying, that he was defending Maria.

Sidney released her hand, his tone calm. "I have ambitions, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my marriage for them. It's as simple as that."

Fawn shook her head, her voice almost pleading. "I don't understand. It would've been a fake marriage! Why wouldn't you agree? How could you not?"

Sidney replied firmly, "Why shouldn't I refuse? Miss Powell, you've been trying to avoid your arranged marriage through this plan, but did you ever stop to consider what it would mean for me? Do you think your parents wouldn't start pressuring me too?" Fawn was momentarily speechless, her mouth opening and closing without finding the right words.

Maria shot a surprised glance at Sidney.

"Hmm... seems like we were both thinking along the same lines," she mused.
