Alicia snapped back to reality. She shook off his hand with force and looked at him coldly.

She scolded, "If you are here to tell me the good news about your engagement, you don't have to. I already know that! How can I be absent from your... 'engagement' ceremony? It's so grand and full of sincerity!"

Her word was sarcastic, but even though she spurted out them casually, these words were like a sharp knife, stabbing deep into her heart. She recalled her wedding three years ago.

It was in the most famous five-star hotel in Bayton City. Countless prominent figures of the upper class were there. It was even grander than his current engagement ceremony... Yet, she became the joke of the entire city.

Those mocking noises seemed to still linger in her ears to this day!

Bayton City was her hometown, yet she did not know how long she had not returned there. At present, even at the mention of that place, her heart would still tremble.

It was all because of this man!

Ever since she became an adult, her mother had told her that all women had to be careful in regards to marriage.

He had taught her this lesson in the most unforgettable way. She had changed from a noble young lady who was pampered to who she was now, an eager beaver who even cannot be sick! "Congratulations!" She scoffed sarcastically.

She sneered twice, yet her body could not help but shudder due to the sudden mood swing. It seemed like she had used all her strength to say this word.

"It's not about that! Ally..." he called her.

Jeremy frowned and shook his head. When Jeremy was about to say something, his cell phone suddenly rang and he answered, "Dad-"

Alicia took this opportunity to turn around and left. However, she vaguely heard a woman's name and the word "marriage" from the phone call. She looked at the blue sky and felt an unprecedented sadness welling up in her heart.
