"The Leanders always complains about us businessmen being greedy for money, but their academic family has raised such a shameless person!"
My father let out a light sigh and said, "Alright, stop talking about it. Our dear daughter is feeling uncomfortable. I've already asked my assistant to withdraw our investments from Brainwave Academy and from now on, the Wijnbergens and the Leanders will have nothing to do with each other!"
Then, just as I remembered and hesitated to mention about Jeremiah Lynch, my mother suddenly brought him up. "By the way, Jeremiah came here today and even brought some gifts."
She took out a velvet box from the drawer of the coffee table. "He's quite fast," she said as she handed it to me, "Here you are."
When I opened the box, I found a pair of diamond bracelets passed down from his ancestors.
Only then did I truly realize that Jeremiah was serious about the wedding three days later.
At night.
Margot sent me a message.
[Hailey, please come back.]
[I'm moving out now and I don't want the child anymore.]
[Your five-year relationship with Cornell can't be ruined because of me, as I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life.]
