Mike's ears immediately perked up. "Go on, tell me more."

"Get lost."

"How stingy," Mike muttered, disappointed at not hearing any juicy gossip.

Then, as if remembering something, he raised an eyebrow. "If nothing unexpected happens, Ms. Fuller will soon be engaged to my nephew, Arnold. She's about to become part of the Lawson family." The news of Matthew proposing the engagement between her and Arnold had already spread throughout Khogend. Even though Felicia had rejected it at the time, it didn't seem to matter.

Everyone else saw her refusal as being ungrateful, playing hard to get. To outsiders, this engagement was as good as set in stone.

Stephan's lips curved into a faint, amused smile. "But what if something unexpected does happen?"

"Unlikely. My grandfather personally investigated Felicia's entire background. After that, he was dead set on arranging her engagement to Arnold. And once he makes up his mind, no one can change it."

Mike clicked his tongue. "Besides, Arnold himself isn't on board with the whole thing. Just the other day, I overheard him planning to give her a hard time, hoping she'll back out on her own.
