Chapter 385

Melody gritted her teeth, fuming with anger.

Today was supposed to be her engagement party, a lively event where she could finally humiliate Tiffany in front of all the esteemed guests, revealing her status as an adopted child of the Kelley family and showing everyone just how unworthy Tiffany truly was. She had managed to expose the truth.

But rather than impacting Tiffany's standing, it led to Richard making an extravagant, public proposal to her.

Every woman in Lovell City wanted to marry a man of Richard's rare status and power.

But he was utterly smitten with Tiffany, going to unbelievable lengths to prove it.

Melody couldn't keep her jealousy at bay.

Seething with envy, Melody held herself together to proceed with her own engagement.

Felicia's face was equally dark. The idea of Kenneth's former fiancée now becoming Richard's wife made her feel thoroughly displeased.

But she understood Richard well enough. Once he set his mind on something, he'd never let it go. She could only hope that, in time, he'd lose interest and discard Tiffany on his own.

As the cheerful music resumed, Felicia signaled to the officiant to get the event back on track. Even though the auspicious time had passed, the engagement had to proceed.

Felicia forced a smile and settled back, believing things would go smoothly now. But then Kenneth took the microphone and announced, "I'm not going through with this wedding." He turned to Melody. "I'm sorry."

With that, he dropped the microphone, tore off his tie, and walked out of the venue with long, determined strides.

Everyone was left in shock.

They didn't know why he just decided not to go through with the engagement.

Melody's face turned pale, and she chased after him. "Kenneth, stop! Tell me what you mean!"

She caught up with him by the elevators, ripping the white veil from her head.

Tears streamed down her face. "You're rejecting me because I'm ugly now, aren't you? You think I'm no longer fit for you, don't you?
