Chapter 474 Breaking an Engagement

Hayley’s POV:

Benjamin remembered well and quickly asked, “Is that he person from the century–old family you mentioned before?”

I nodded, “Yes.”

“Daniel is engaged to Freya,” Benjamin informed me.

“Originally, Daniel was supposed to be engaged to Freya’s sister, but over the past couple of years, it shifted to Freya. It seems their parents saw an opportunity with the Sanders‘ resources and arranged things quietly.”

“So it’s more like a business alliance,” I commented.

Benjamin did not respond directly. He ushered me into the car and only spoke after we’d driven a ways.

“Daniel is bad news–irresponsible and corrupt. Mrs. Laurel is completely against the engagement, and there’s been a lot of conflict between the two families over it.”

Upon hearing that, I nodded. Mrs. Laurel was known for her tough and assertive nature, willing to confront issues head–on rather than compromise her family’s interests. This situation seemed typical of her approach.

However, with the engagement set, breaking it would require finding fault with Daniel.
