Zach barged into the engagement ceremony just as Joel and were exchanging rings.
He angrily stormed over and grabbed my hand tightly. “Yulla, stop this. Come back with me.”
Joel frowned and pushed Zach away. “Mr. Jefferson, I don’t remember inviting you.
“If you’re here to make trouble, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Zach’s parents were just as shocked. They did not want to cause a scene in front of everyone, so they quickly tried to drag him away.
“What are you doing?! There are so many people here! Are you trying to ruin this event?”
But Zach ignored them. He still held onto me and tried to pull me away.
“This engagement doesn’t count. I don’t agree with it!
“She’s my girlfriend! We haven’t broken up. How can Joel be the one getting engaged to her?
“Yulia, come back with me before I get angry!”
Sienna, standing nearby, spoke up with a fake, innocent tone, “Yeah, Zach never said he was canceling the engagement.
“He’s just been busy, and things got postponed. But I didn’t think Yulia would already find another man. How could she do that?”
I rolled my eyes. “Shut up and stop pretending to be innocent.
“You know exactly why he kept postponing the engagement. Don’t act like you don’t.
“Every time we were about to get engaged, you clung to him and wouldn’t let go. If you hadn’t, he wouldn’t postpone the engagement.
“You’ve been scheming this whole time, and now you’re blaming me? Do you have no shame?”
Sienna’s eyes filled with fake tears as she hid behind Zach. I–I didn’t mean for this to happen! I just didn’t think Zach would actually postpone the engagement.”
Zach was frustrated as he asked, “Yulia, what do you want?
“We’ve been together for years. How could you get engaged to someone else?
“Where do I even stand in your life now?”
