Chapter 89 I’ll Marry You

Two days before Oliver left for Wetinson with his troops, something unexpected happened.

Cristina showed up at Southern Watch with two maids to break off the engagement.

A woman personally delivering an annulment notice was unheard of.

Normally, the parents would bring a matchmaker over to explain the reason, ensuring the other party accepted it without turning it into a scandal or a joke. After all, reputation mattered a lot to the prominent families.

For Cristina to handle it herself made waves in Argentum.

Moreover, she didn’t go to Marquis Eldermere’s estate. Instead, she went straight to Southern Watch.

Since everyone there knew she was the Great Marshal’s fiancée, they let her through.

When Cristina saw Oliver, she got straight to the point and said coldly, “Here’s the annulment letter. Take it. Once you do, our engagement is over, and we’re free to marry whomever we choose.”

Oliver looked at her with a stunned expression and asked, “Why?”

“You’re not good enough for me. I’m out of your league.” Cristina sneered. “Don’t think that just because you became Great Marshal thanks to your father’s name, you’re now truly powerful. You’re nothing but a clown.“If Marquis of Eldermere hadn’t supported you, would you be where you are today? I despise people like you who climb up through nepotism. You’re an embarrassment to your father! If you lack real ability, no matter how high you rise, you’ll fall just as fast. I’ll be waiting for that day to come.”

With that, she smiled disdainfully, turned around, and walked away with her maids without sparing Oliver another glance.

Oliver looked up and saw Isolde standing outside with a wine jar in her arms.

She had come to deliver wine to Doug and had accidentally witnessed the scene.

She looked at Oliver, whose face was unreadable, but there was a flicker of embarrassment in his eyes. Isolde wasn’t sure what to say or if she should say anything at all.

Oliver quickly composed himself, crumpled the annulment letter in his hand, and said calmly, “There you

are.”

Isolde nodded and said, “I mentioned before that I’d treat you to a drink. I heard you’re leaving for Wetinson in two days, so I came to see if you had time today.”

There was a trace of mockery in Oliver’s eyes as he said, “Are you pitying me? No need.”
