Chapter 408 Nothing Good Will Come Out of a Forced Marriage

Ah, forget it. Nothing good will come out of a forced marriage, anyway, thought Stefania. She said apologetically, “Hayley, what happened this time was Nicholas’ fault. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask us.”

Hayley pursed her lips and nodded, but her eyes flickered for an instant. In reality, her actual purpose for coming here wasn’t to call off her engagement to Nicholas, but to pretend to compromise herself in order for the Sawyer Family’s elders to see how mature and sensible she was.

Kieran left the hospital afterward. As soon as he got into his car, he immediately gave Nicholas a video call. “Nicholas, let me tell you this. The engagement has been called off, so you can come back now.”
