"Are you lying to me?" Dylan asked hesitantly

Matthew let out a bitter laugh, his eyes flashing with frustration. "I wish I were lying, but unfortunately, it's the truth"

Dylan frowned, confusion written all over his face. "Why?"

Matthew's tone turned cold. "Because of Eliza."

Dylan's brows furrowed even deeper. "What does she have to do with this?"

"Everything." Matthew snapped, his voice laced with anger. "She's the one who forced me to break off my engagement with Diana"

Matthew's anger surged, and he could almost see himself storming up the mountain to Saint Grace Hunnery, ready to confront Eliza and make her pay. The thought alone was the only thing that could momentarily ease his frustration.

"That's impossible," Dylan said firmly, "Don't even try to fool me. With how close Eliza and Diana are, unless Diana wanted to end the engagement, Eliza would never have done such a thing"

Dylan's words hit the mark perfectly.

Because they were so accurate, Matthew's face darkened instantly

It was indeed Diana who wanted to end the engagement.

"If it weren't for Eliza, why would Diana even think of breaking off the engagement with me?" Matthew's voice grew louder. his emotions spiraling out of control.

"That's because you hurt her!" Dylan shot back, his tone sharp. "You knew how close Diana and Eliza were, yet you still did those things. Once Diana found out, how could she possibly stand by and do nothing?

"And I don't believe she immediately demanded to end the engagement. She must have said something else first, didn't she? What did you do to make her so disappointed that she had to end things?"

Dylan's mind was working exceptionally fast at this moment.

In just a few sentences, he had pieced together the truth with remarkable accuracy.
