The words were resolute and firm, clearly aimed at Nathan.
Finished
With the Patel couple’s harmonious voices resonating and his mother maintaining her steadfast demeanor, Nathan felt the burden on his shoulders begin to lift.
He was annoyed and eager to clarify the engagement situation at the meeting.
As such, he had no choice but to participate in the topic.
Nathan calmly set down his cup and said icily, “I have no current intentions of marriage. The Carter Group has numerous projects in the year’s second half that demand my full attention. Emma is undoubtedly exceptional but not the right fit for me.”
This time, the rejection was clear and direct.
Emma sensed what awaited her as she returned to the private room.
However, hearing it firsthand at that moment was truly hard to accept.
She knew that work was just an excuse from Nathan.
It was all because of Oliva.
Emma had enough as her emotions were in turmoil.
Yet, it was Emily who erupted first.
After Nathan finished speaking, her expression darkened, and she sharply retorted, “Engagement and marriage are familial arrangements. Attending your own wedding for a day shouldn’t be such a burden. Em, the bride, hasn’t objected, yet you have a multitude of excuses!”
“Let me be clear, you cannot oppose this engagement! As long as I’m alive, you will go through with this marriage!”
The final statement was heavily threatening.
Nathan’s demeanor turned sharper, and he lowered his gaze coldly, “And what if I refuse and wish to call off this marriage?”
“Do you dare!”
Emily slammed the table angrily.

Nathan glanced down at her hand, furrowed his brow slightly, and gently withdrew from her grip. His tone turned cold as he stated, “There’s no need for that. Mr. Patel mentioned that if it’s not suitable, it’s best to end it early. So, as for the engagement, it ends here.
He walked away.
Emma stood there, the weight of Nathan’s words hitting her physically and emotionally.
He would rather have Olivia than herself.
Is Olivia truly that exceptional?
Her bloodshot eyes were burning with resentment as her body quivered.
She would not allow Olivia to succeed.
Olivia returned from the bathroom looking sullen.
King noticed Olivia’s subdued demeanor and asked, “Is everything alright? You seem a bit off. Are you feeling tired or unwell?”
Beside him, Lucas and Benjamin exchanged concerned glances and asked, “Are you feeling okay? Should we go back so you can rest? You’re still recovering, so don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Then let’s head back.”
Olivia didn’t mind.
So, the group gathered their things and prepared to depart.
They coincidentally ran into Emily and the Patels as they left the restaurant.
