Annetta laughed coldly, “That’s enough. Are you done acting?” Annetta looked at Caleb and said, “Caleb, I’ve already said everything I need to say. If this is the result you want, you’ll bear the consequences yourself later!”
Annetta finished speaking and turned to leave.
Carla secretly laughed at Annetta’s over-confident self. Things had already gone according to her plan and Annetta was the one who had been rejected in front of everyone. Yet she still dared to threaten Caleb? How shameless!
Just as Carla was feeling triumphant and smug, Caleb suddenly became nervous. He grabbed Annetta and said anxiously, “Annetta, I’m sorry… Carla and I have let you down!”
Carla was beaming. She thought that after breaking off his engagement with Annetta, now it was time to announce that he was with her now.
“Carla and I have wronged you. It’s me that doesn’t deserve to be with you. Carla and I betrayed you a long time ago. It was Carla who seduced me. I couldn’t resist her beauty and went to bed with her. After I got together with her, I regret everything I’ve done…”
Carla’s smile gradually disappeared when she heard what Caleb said. She looked at him anxiously and kept winking at him. But Caleb acted as if he had not seen it and said, “In order to be with Carla, I even schemed all these before this banquet to push all the responsibilities of breaking the engagement to you. Carla and I hired all these people to rile everyone up and make everyone hate you… I’m sorry, Annetta, please forgive me. It’s all on me and Carla. It has nothing to do with you!”
The crowd lost it after that.
The people who had accused Annetta just now had not expected Carla and Caleb to have set all these up. They were stunned.
“Is what Caleb said true? All of this was set up by Carla and him to throw the blame to Annetta?”
“Heavens! We’ve all been taken in by Carla?”
“This is too much! I thought Carla was very kind, but it’s all been an act!”
The people who threw things at Annetta were now throwing plates and vegetable leaves at Carla and Caleb.
Carla crazily grabbed Caleb’s microphone and didn’t let him speak. The banquet hall fell into chaos.
Annetta ignored the commotion and left.
She held her mother’s necklace in her hand. It was just like her mother had been accompanying her this whole time, giving her the courage to face everything in this life.
On one side, one could see the entire view of Toronto from the French windows in the restaurant on the top floor of Elder Cabin Hotel. If one looked to the other side, one could admire the beautiful interior of the hotel. The interior of the hotel was magnificent and extremely luxurious.
The finest of Toronto’s elite were having a meal at this very restaurant. After three rounds of drinks, the daughter of the Branch family finally mustered up the courage to walk towards Ethan and stand in front of him, “I propose a toast to you, Ethan.”
He faced the girl, whose face was flushed red and had lustful eyes.
However, the man was not the least bit interested. The image of another girl calling him “Ethan” in a soft and cute voice surfaced in his mind.
The man adjusted his necktie restlessly.
Ms. Branch was fascinated by Ethan’s impatient look. Everyone knew that the young master of the Harris family didn’t like women. She had begged her father for a long time before he agreed to bring her along. Right now, this was the closest she had been to him. Even this slight bit of distance was enough for her.
The man next to him had been admiring the luxurious interior furnishings of the hotel when he suddenly caught sight of a woman with a lovely figure on a lower floor. Just as he was about to ask his assistant to go and ask the lovely lady for her number, she turned around. The man took a second look and almost fell off his chair in shock.
