Chapter 2: Have My Fiancée Call Off the Engagement

The atmosphere went silent in an instant.

"What are you talking about? Isn't the Farrell family ..." Elizabeth started, then suddenly stood up, "Oh yes! It was Tina who should be engaged to the son of the Farrell family, and now that Tina has returned, you don't have to marry that Jared." Everyone knew that Jared, the seventh son of the capital's wealthiest family-the Farrells-was a wastrel who never engaged in proper business and was a good-for-nothing in every sense.

But his grandfather, Logan Farrell, was extremely fond of him, especially after Jared became disabled two years prior while saving his grandfather's life.

Since then, Jared had become even more outrageous, squandering his grandfather's money everywhere.

Somehow, not too long ago, the Farrell family suddenly sent word that the daughter of the Reed family had been engaged to their son before she was born and they were expected to honor the marriage agreement.

Of course, now the daughter of the Reed family was Amber Reed.

Elizabeth was immediately anxious; although the Reed family was not on the same level as the Farrells, Amber was raised by her since childhood to marry someone more outstanding, someone who could lead the Reed family to new heights. Jared, despite being favored, held no real power; the money he had was given by his parents and grandfather.

Money could run out, and after sitting idle and depleting their resources, all that would be left was to leech off Amber's vitality.

Naturally, Elizabeth was unwilling, but they had an engagement with the Farrell family and couldn't simply break it without good reason. Thus, she had been seeking a way to gracefully extricate themselves from this engagement.

Now that Tina had returned, there was no need to push the matter further. Tina was just a country girl, perfectly suited to marry the disabled Jared. The Reed family could thus become in-laws with the Farrell family, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking this, Elizabeth immediately said, "I agree now that Tina can come back. You go back and teach Tina some manners. She's to be engaged to Jared Farrell in a month, and she better not embarrass me at the engagement banquet." Hugo was stunned for a moment, incredulous at what his mother had said.

He had not recovered from Amber's earlier words.

Soon, Hugo looked up sharply, "What engagement banquet? The one supposed to be engaged to Jared Farrell is..."

"They want Miss Reed and Tina is Miss Reed, she has an engagement with the son of the Farrell family. Now that she has returned, it's only natural that she fulfills the agreement," Elizabeth interjected.

Hearing this, Hugo frowned and then glanced at Tina with a pained expression.

His mother's calculations were all too clear.

No wonder she agreed so easily to Tina's return-it was with ill intentions.

Who didn't know Jared Farrell was disabled?

He had not wanted Amber to marry Jared Farrell, but now Tina was the one being pushed into the marriage.

"I disagree!" Hugo growled, his face turning livid, "It's clearly Amber who is engaged to Mr. Farrell."

"Father, it's not that I don't want to marry Mr. Farrell, but Tina is the real Miss Reed. If I were to marry into their family and the Farrells found out later, they would blame us for deceiving them..." Amber's words were ambiguous, and a calculated gleam flashed through her slightly lowered eyes.

Elizabeth immediately nodded, "We can't afford to offend
