“What? Aren’t you going to go?” Ron seemed to catch on to what was on her mind and offered her an indifferent smile as he leaned against the dresser. “Or you can announce that the party is off.”

Leah immediately rejected the idea. “No.”

Ian hasn’t shown up. How could it just be canceled? This engagement party was not only a chance to fulfill Ian’s wish, but also a chance for her to start over.

Leah sucked in a breath and reached for her phone to call him. There was, however, no answer.

She called him twice more. No response.

“Tch, just call it off.” Ron’s smile began to fall away.

He had come here today to congratulate Ian and Leah. He may have been uncomfortable with Ian getting what he wanted, but if Ian could offer Leah the happy life she deserved, Ron had no choice but to accept it.

The look on her face was grim.

She did not believe Ian would deliberately miss the occasion and grew worried that something might have happened and he had failed to notify her.

“Cindy, why are you hesitating? Are you going to leave this room or not?” Serena urged Leah from her seat.

“We can’t continue with the engagement party.” Leah got to her feet and tore off the hem of her skirt with a resounding rip. Her fishtail gown immediately transformed into a knee-length dress.

Serena widened her eyes. “What are you doing?”

Leah then peeled off her cumbersome accessories as she spoke, “Something must’ve happened to Ian. I have to find him.”

“Are you crazy? What about the engagement party?” Serena frowned

“Deliver a message to Mrs. Sanders. Have her dismiss the guests.” With that, she sped out through the door.

Seeing this, Ron chased after Leah without hesitation.
