Metropolis
Today is the engagement ceremony of Miss Heartwell from the Heartwell family and the second young master of the Shaw family, Dylan.
The spacious auditorium is decorated with pink roses inside and outside, with people coming and going at the entrance, laughter everywhere, and a joyful atmosphere.
On stage, Sophia Heartwell is dressed in a white wedding dress, her head lowered, hiding a hint of darkness in her eyes, and there is no joy on her delicate face at all.
She is just a stepping stone for the business marriage between the Heartwell and Shaw families.
"Miss Sophia Heartwell, do you take Dylan Shaw to be your husband, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health?" the wedding officiant asked with a smile.
In the spotlight, Sophia raised her head, looked at the officiant on stage, opened her lips several times, but did not say a word.
"Sophia, whats the matter with you, hurry up and agree!" Her father, Thomas Heartwell, gave her a painful twist on the arm with a forced smile, warning her.
This girl had better not mess up his good thing! If the Heartwell and Shaw families united, the crisis of his company could also be resolved!
The pain in her arm made Sophia bite her lower lip, looking at the young man in a grooms outfit opposite her, with a mocking and bitter smile on the corner of her mouth.
If she couldnt marry the one she wanted, then marrying anyone would be the same. At least sacrificing her happiness could save her grandmother.
Thinking this way, she opened her lips and spoke indifferently, "I am willing..."
The word "willing" had not yet been spoken when it was suddenly interrupted by a voice at the door.
"I disagree with the union between the Heartwell and Shaw families."
The man who came in was dressed in black trousers and a white shirt, with a handsome face like a sculpture, thin lips and a high nose, and his pair of dark eyes were staring at Sophia.
Sophia was a little shocked and astonished.
It was him, how could he be here?
Dylans mother hurriedly walked towards the man and scolded in a low voice, "Maxwell, today is your brother Dylans wedding, dont make trouble!"
Dylan is his brother?
Sophia seemed to have heard some explosive news, her face and lips instantly drained of blood, leaving only a pale white, staring at the man as if she wanted to see something.
His ex-boyfriend turned out to be her fianc茅s brother! And she only found out today!
Its also true that they both have the same surname, Shaw, and she didnt think of it in that direction.
And Maxwell Shaw only looked at her for a second before looking away, then strode onto the stage, reached out and hugged Sophias body, and said with a domineering smile: "I have had a relationship with Miss Heartwell for a long time, how could I watch my person wear a wedding dress and marry someone else!"
At this moment, the large screen also showed a photo of a man and a woman kissing, it was her and Maxwell Shaw.
The audience suddenly boiled like hot water, bursting into a pot, and there were discussions everywhere.
The mans big palm conveyed a hot body temperature, but Sophia only felt cold all over her body, because she clearly noticed that the bottom of the mans smiling eyes was indifferent, and the big palm on her waist was so tight that it would crush her.
He hated her!
Dylan looked at his eldest brother, his eyes showing joy. This marriage was a torment for him today, and this scene was a godsend.
Dylan handed the flowers to Maxwell and said happily, "It just so happens that Miss Heartwell and I were both forced. Since Miss Heartwell is my brothers person, then my brother wishes you well." After speaking, he left without looking back.
The groom left, and the wedding naturally could not continue. Dylans mother looked ugly and announced the "cancellation of the engagement between the Heartwell and Shaw families" and then left with a dark face.
The people around pointed at Sophia, but she didnt care. This wedding was not what she wanted, but his approach made her feel uncomfortable.
"Why?" she asked after a long time, her voice was so hoarse that it was unrecognizable.
Maxwell was still smiling, and he lowered his head ambiguously and whispered in her ear, but the words he uttered were cold: "Sophia Heartwell, the pain you gave me, I will give back to you double."
The mans words sprinkled salt on Sophias heart again.
She took a deep breath and felt as if her heart was being clenched by a big hand, almost suffocating, tears were also constantly rolling in her eyes, looking up, she met Thomas Heartwells warning eyes before leaving.
She was very clear that when she went back, she would face another storm.
"Although I cant be a daughter-in-law of the Shaw family, maybe you can be my mistress, I will help you settle the storm, otherwise, you might not have a good life when you go back."
The mans ambiguous words came to Sophias ears, and she looked up, tears in her eyes, and looked at the mans cold eyes.
"I dont agree!" A hoarse roar, she didnt know where the strength came from, and broke free from the mans arms.
