Chapter 5

It was absurd.

The Elliot I remembered was smart, gentle, and sensible.

Now that we had met again, how could he do such a thoughtless thing as proposing to me right after not seeing each other for five years?

He completely turned a blind eye to the pain I had endured when I was isolated, wronged, expelled from school, and lost my job.

Heather and the others all chased after us. When they saw the scene, they started cheering and shouting, "Samantha, say yes."

One of them said, "Back then, Elliot was going to propose to you, and the venue was all set up. If it hadn't been for that theft incident that day, maybe you would be married by now and have your baby."

I corrected his words, "It wasn't a theft incident but a frame-up. Since you framed me back then, you should clarify it now. I want all of you to post on your social media platforms to clear my name."

Heather's expression immediately turned terrible, but after taking a look at Elliot, she still nodded. "Okay."

Nora stood behind Heather, biting her lower lip with a look of unwillingness.

At this moment, a car slowly drove up.

After seeing the license plate number, I composed myself, looked down at Elliot, and said, "It's been five years, Elliot. What makes you think I'd still be waiting for you to propose to me?"

Elliot finally seemed to have noticed something, looking at my right hand. "You..."

I waved the wedding ring on my finger and told him, "I'm already married. From now on, I'll be your uncle's wife."

Elliot was taken aback. "What?"

Just then, the approaching car stopped in front of me.
