Maxwell walked right up to Mona, taking in the sight of the woman he'd been yearning for day and night. She was even more stunning than he remembered-bright eyes, red lips, and flawless skin. Her almond-shaped eyes held a hint of irresistible allure. "Mona, I messed up. Don't throw your life away just to get back at me." Teddy's heart pounded as he heard Mona agree to marry Maxwell. Maxwell had been his rival since high school, and now, with the Carter family sn****ng up deals from the Powers family, the tension between them had only gotten worse. Mona scoffed. "Ruin my life just to get back at you? Don't flatter yourself." She then looped her arm through Maxwell's and **ly announced, "The engagement goes on as planned."

Beatrice also spoke up, "My daughter's innocent, and you took advantage of her like that. You need to take responsibility!"
company, so marrying into the Powers family wasn't such a bad deal for Barbara. Beatrice's words were loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, which clearly annoyed Teddy's parents. After all, Mona was the Clem family's cherished daughter, set to
another chance. Today is supposed to be your engagement ceremony-how can you just switch fiancés like this?" Teddy's mother, Hannah Powers, pleaded with Mona. Hannah had always liked Mona because she came from a good family, was good-looking, and most importantly, wasn't too
all, what man doesn't slip up now and then? The real worry was how it might impact the family's interests. Maxwell felt like shutting them up. He'd finally gotten his chance to be with Mona, and he wasn't about to let these two mess it up with a few pleas. Mona, though, wasn't swayed by their excuses. She was done with Teddy, and just
"I've already decided to get engaged to Maxwell. A man who cheats once isn't worth keeping." She turned to the emcee

she fumbled for a matching ring and placed it on him, her mind still in a fog. As Mona reached to put the ring on Maxwell, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Mona, think this through.
