Chapter 9

Aria, are you mute?"

"Willow didn't do anything, I'm the one who wants to break off the engagement."

"If you apologize to her, I won't hold you accountable for the injury on her head."

I looked at Caleb, couldn't help but curl my lips.

It was my fault for being blind, always thinking he was smart.

"Are the elders inside?" I turned to ask a passing waiter, walking gracefully towards the inside.

Caleb followed closely behind me: "What are you going to do?"

"Want to tattle?"

I didn't answer him.

Until we reached the door, Caleb was still following closely behind me:

"Aria, don't think that just because you're the Collins family's daughter, you can be engaged to me."

"I've already promised to marry Willow, I can't possibly marry you."

I turned back to look at Caleb.

As he said, he was born into a position of privilege.

His life had been too smooth sailing, causing him to not realize what a powerful wife meant for him.

Perhaps this look of mine was too cold, Caleb was stunned for a moment.

Caleb's grandfather happened to look towards the door and asked, "What's going on with you two, always together?"

In front of all the guests, I stepped forward and bowed: "Grandfather, today is my birthday. I want to make a wish to you."

"Caleb and Willow are in love, I envy them."

"I don't want to ruin their relationship."

"Grandfather, I want to break off the engagement with Caleb."

The room suddenly fell silent.
