Chapter 17

The Morris family was on an upswing while the Christensen family was sinking like a ship. Wouldn’t it be a raw deal if Rebecca still decided to marry into the Christensens?

How could their precious daughter marry a poor guy?

But calling off the engagement would be a gossip feast for the town.

Sandra sighed and recounted the situation to Rebecca.

With memories from a past life, Rebecca knew the Christensen family had also been on the verge of ruin when they returned to Cloudcrest.

Rebecca frowned slightly. “Shame on the Christensen family, coveting what they can’t have.”

A nearly broke family, and they still wanted to marry her off? As if!

That was a pipe dream!

“Exactly!” Sandra interrupted. “After all these years, they still hold onto that old pledge without weighing their worth. They have the nerve to set their sights on my darling girl! The shamelessness!”
