" Ladies and gentlemen , thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate a very special occasion . It is my great honor to officially introduce to you the engaged couple , Mr. Vincent Dester and Ms. Amelia Nygard ... Before the host could finish , a phone started ringing . Vincent took out his phone . When he answered , a woman's trembling and crying voice came through . " Vincent , I ... I had a car accident . It really hurts . I'm scared ... " Vincent's expression changed immediately . " Gianna , don't be afraid . I'll come right away ." " But ... it's your engagement party ... " He didn't wait to hear the rest . Turning to the host , he said , " The engagement is canceled ." Amelia , one of the stars of today's event , stood beside him . She saw the sudden change in his eyes , like he had just been hit in the chest . Vincent didn't even look at her . He turned around and rushed toward the exit . " Vincent ! " Amelia instinctively reached for his sleeve but only caught empty air . " Amelia , I'm sorry . Gianna was in a car accident . You should go home first ," Vincent said gently . " What if I don't want you to leave ? This is our engagement party . If she's in an accident , shouldn't she call the police ? Why do you have to go ? " And besides , she has three older brothers she could've called ! Why does it always have to be him ? Clearly , she's up to something . Vincent frowned . " Amelia , don't be unreasonable . This is a serious matter ." " You know I don't like her . Are you my fiancé or hers ? " Amelia's eyes stayed calm , steady as still water . She had wanted to ask this for a long time . Vincent was supposed to be her fiancé , but whenever Gianna Nygard had any trouble , he would drop everything to be by her side . The worst part was that Gianna knew how to put on an act .

He told everyone that Cianna was the daughter of the man who had saved his life , Before dying , that person asked him to take care of his child . Gianna's mother had died young , and her past was full of sadness . The Nygards were told to treat her kindly . 1/3 p p . She was sweet , pretty , talented , and knew how to act in front of people . She quickly won over Raymond and the rest of the family . Even in social circles , she became known as the " daughter of the Nygards ." The Nygards were proud of her , thinking she was the real heiress . But then , four years later , Amelia suddenly returned .. No one knew what had happened to her during those years . She had become quieter , more distant , and carried a coldness in her personality . The Nygards cared a lot about appearances . To them . Amelia was an embarrassment , a stain on the family , hard to like . Even when she did everything they asked and agreed to a marriage alliance , they still humiliated her . " Stop it , Amelia ! What's gotten into you ? Gianna's in trouble and you're causing a scene ? " her mother , Emery Palmer , shouted . Amelia only gave a cold laugh . She had expected this reaction . Vincent's eyes showed a mix of emotions . " Amelia , now is not the time to throw a fit . Gianna ... " Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me , " Amelia said sharply , her voice making the entire hall feel colder . Her oldest brother , Marcelo Nygard , shouted , " Amelia , what's wrong with your She's your little sister ! " " Sorry , I don't have a sister like her . If she stays , I'm leaving " Amelia shot back without hesitation , Her second brother , Miguel Nygard , added , " How can you be so heartless ? Gianna has always been good to you . Why do you keep picking on her ? " Vincent patted Amelia's shoulder and tried to reassure her . " Amelia , be good . Now's not the time to get jealous . Gianna might be in real danger . I'll feel better if I go check on her ." For some reason , Amelia seemed different today . A strange unease rose in his heart . Usually , if Gianna were involved , Amelia would get angry right away. But today , she looked unusually calm . Still , Vincent just wanted to check on Gianna . He was definitely going to marry Amelia , because he had reasons he couldn't ignore . Meanwhile , the third brother , Maxwell Nygard , was anxious . " Come on , your engagemerit is already ser Missing the party won't change anything " Yeah , it's just a ceremony . Isn't someone's life more important than that ? " another person said , sounding critical . But Amelia didn't move . She kept her eyes locked on Vincent . That's when an angry female voice cut through the room . " I can't take this anymore ! Vincent , are you a doctor or what ? Do you have something going on with Gianna ? Why does she always call you when there's trouble ? And why does she always need the hospital whenever you're with Amelia ? Is she cursed or something ? " It was Josie Hutton , Amelia's best friend . She knew how much this engagement party meant to Amelia . But once again , that witch Gianna had ruined it Josie couldn't even remember how many times this had happened ! " Ms. Hutton " Vincent's voice turned icy . " Mind your words ! " P you lost your Vincent looked furious and embarrassed , as if her words had struck a nerve . His embarrassment turned into anger . Amelia patted Josie on the shoulder , then calmly faced Vincent . " If you walk out that door , it's over between us . " S Time was already slipping by . Vincent started to panic . He tried to calm her down . " Amelia , don't say things you don't mean . Time was already slipping by . Vincent star The engagement party can wait . We'll call it off for now .
