Linda was speechless upon hearing that.
She looked at Rose incredulously as she asked, “Mom, look at how things turned out. Do you still think
we can get married?”
Norman frowned. “Silly girl, what are you thinking? I already made it clear that if they wanted to
dissolve the engagement, they wouldn’t decide last minute; it isn’t how they do things.”
However, Linda’s frown deepened. “You guys just don’t believe me, do you? I truly feel that way!”
At times, my sense of ominous premonition is very accurate! Gareth is acting very peculiar!

Rose’s brows furrowed together. “Alright. I’ll speak to Monica to see if anything’s up.”
Linda nodded profusely. “Yes, you should ask about it, Mom. Otherwise, I will keep worrying about it.
These days, it’s always his assistant who picks up my calls, and he is constantly busy. I don’t even
have the opportunity to speak to him alone. If this carries on, we…”
Her voice trailed off. She was worried about her speculations becoming a reality.
“Okay, okay. You should stay calm. Look at how you are behaving right now! You don’t seem to be the

“Oh, sweetheart!” Upon seeing his daughter crying, Norman felt sorry for her. He immediately walked to

Norman wiped her tears again before saying gently, “If they really dare to do that, I will terminate
everything with them. Let’s see what they’ll do next!”
Linda heaved a sigh of relief. After all, she knew how important their family business was.
In that case… it seems that there won’t be any problems.
Rose also interjected exasperatedly, “Look at you. I don’t even feel like giving you any further advice.
You should keep your cool. Remember that you are an elegant lady about to be Mrs. Wickam.”
She felt sorry for Linda, so she just tried to calm her down.
Linda nodded quietly.
The next day, Rose did as she promised – she called Monica, but no one answered.
What is going on?
Linda’s heart sank. “Why didn’t she pick up? Is she avoiding you? Mom, they are going to cancel the
engagement, aren’t they?”
