Elspeth didn’t have a big temper, but Emma’s appearance was just adding fuel to the fire.

“You don’t want me here? I didn’t even want to come!”

Emma felt disgusted to see Elspeth and Callum being all lovey-dovey.

Just as she was about to leave, Eric grabbed her arm. “You stay here. Do you not want to debut again?”

She was stunned for a moment.

This was the only way left for her to debut, and she couldn’t lose Eric’s help no matter what.

Elspeth frowned without saying anything, for she saw Eric mouthing the words, “I have my reasons.”

Although she was taken aback, she immediately let it go.

Eric would never hurt her, so they would talk about it after the engagement ceremony.

With that, they continued the ceremony as conflicting thoughts filled the people sitting at the front.

Blake’s eyes were filled with relief; Edmund was smiling playfully; and a hint of sadness flashed across Eric’s eyes.

Only Emma was engulfed in rage that almost burned away all reasoning.

All of this was supposed to be hers. Elspeth took everything from her!

The engagement ceremony was almost over, and everyone began digging into their food. Then, Eric pulled Elspeth to a corner.

“Explain. Why did you bring Emma over?”

If he failed to give a good reason, Elspeth was going to give him a big slap.

He spoke in a serious tone he rarely had. “I was afraid that Emma would plot with Arthur to ruin the engagement party. It would be better to put her under our noses. That way, we’d feel safer since she’s under our watch.”

This was something Elspeth failed to consider, but Eric had thought about it on her behalf.
