A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Well, yes, of course," Magee answered perfunctorily, as he looked around the hall, searching for someone.

Although it was clearly a half-hearted reply, Leona felt completely satisfied and happy. She was contented just as long as Magee would say he loved her, and she tried not to get bogged down in the details.

Life had put her through many harsh situations, and she's had to experience many difficulties to get to where she was. As a result, all she wanted now was for someone to love and someone who cherish her for who she was.

A few moments later, a woman walked into the hall and instantly attracted everyone's attention like a magnet. Everyone fell in silence, and they watched with eyes wide open, as she walked in with so much grace and confidence. It was as if the world had slowed down.

"Here she comes," Magee mumbled and smiled craftily.

"Who?" Driven by curiosity, Leona frowned and looked in the direction Magee was looking at with anticipation. She recognized who the woman was at first glance, and she couldn't believe her eyes. "Emily?" Leona asked speechless and shaking her head in disbelief.

What was Emily doing in Leona's engagement party?

She didn't invite Emily to the party!

Leona didn't intend to invite Emily because she was guilty of scheming to poison her. On one hand, Leona was afraid that Emily would create a scene and embarrass her in front of her friends. On the other hand, she was afraid that Jacob would unleash his wrath upon her for attempting to poison Emily. Leona knew very well that she was no match for neither of them.

Besides, who knew whether or not Emily would ruin her engagement party?

All of a sudden, Magee turned to face Leona as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. "I invited her for you," he said plainly, as if he didn't find it wrong to invite his fiancee's enemy to their engagement party.

"Magee, how could you..." Leona couldn't find the words to express her shock.

"You look like you've just seen a ghost. Why didn't you feel afraid when you were harming her? There's no need to feel afraid. I won't let anyone lay a finger on you, especially not Jacob. He can't afford to offend me or my dog," Magee reassured her.

Whether Leona was just pretending to be naive or not, she didn't feel offended by the fact that Magee likened her to his dog. Instead, she chose to believe that Magee was comforting her. She felt warm and safe when she heard Magee say that he would protect her. Funnily enough, she started to worry about Magee. "But I'm afraid that Jacob will do something to hurt you." she said to him, anxiously.

"Don't worry," Magee held her hand and gently caressed it, "If it comes to that, I will give you to them in exchange for my life. Then I will be fine."
