Since Jasper had spent his adult life living abroad and rarely returned home, the entire arrangement for this engagement had been managed by my mother alone, communicating exclusively with him []
Ma Winston only knew that his younger brother was getting married through an arranged match but had no idea who the bride was
He was, however, aware of my past relationship with Lincoln
At this moment, Mr. Windon began to piece things together ||
Having experienced many situations in his life, he quickly composed himself in the face of this brewing storm
Frowning slightly, he took a moment to glance at everyone in the room before calmly turning to me.

“Apologize to my uncle and father right now, and 111 make it up to you with a proper engagement banquet later.”
Hearing his words, my expression turned cold. I shook off his hand and walked toward Jasper, taking his arm firmly as I looked at him with determination ||
“Mr. Winston,” I said firmly. “Lincoln and I have broken up. My engagement to pasper is real.“[]
As soon as the words left my mouth, Mr. Winston immediately understood the situation.
With a relseyed smile, he nodded and raised his glass in rase the tension. “Good“]
“My younger brother is finally settling down, and I couldn’t be happer for you wo!
“As for the arrangements for the wedding and marriage license, let me know if you need any help…]
“This is impossilde: Absolutely impossible! I don’t agree to breaking up!”
