I’m sorry, Kingsley, but I can’t marry you! Hannah Snees declared coldly in the CEOS office of Snees Corporation.
She sat behind her desk, looking elegant in a black lace dress, her demeanor icy and aloof.
Across from her sat a handsome man in modest attire.
Kingsley Baldwin could not believe what he was hearing and asked, Hannah, what do you mean? What happened to the promise between us? They had agreed to tie the knot on the day Snees Corporation went public, marking the end of their three-year courtship.
Since weve been dating each other, I’ll be frank, Hannah replied, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
Her stunning features exuded grace and beauty with every movement.
Kingsley, don’t you think the gap between us has grown too wide? Its like were from different worlds now. Forcing this relationship wont do you any good.
For me, it would be… a burden.
A burden? Kingsley was stunned, never expecting Hannah to say such a thing.
If it had not been for his help, the Snees family would have gone bankrupt long ago, let alone gone public.
In fact, he had shaped Hannahs success with his own hands.
I know this decision is hard for you to accept.
How about this? Consider it a debt I owe you.
After we cancel the wedding, I’ll give you a settlementcash, a villa, and a luxury car.
That should be enough for you to live comfortably.
Hannah pulled out a pen and checkbook from her designer purse as she spoke.
Kingsley watched in silence as she wrote down the figure: 1.2 million.
He felt as if he was looking at a stranger.
Is this all our years together are worth to you? Just a string of numbers? Kingsley asked.
Hannahs perfect features flickered with complexity for a moment before settling back into indifference.
If you think its not enough, I can add more.
Name your price.
Kingsley stared at her, pain evident in his eyes at how Hannah had mistaken his question for thinking it was not enough.
So, you’re dead set on backing out of this marriage? Hannah pressed her lips together and turned to look out the window.
If thats how you want to see it, I have nothing more to say, she replied.
She was a female CEO with a net worth of over 150 million dollars, with countless admirers in Jayrodale. Kingsley, from any angle, did not fit into her world anymore.
Not even on an intellectual level.
This marriage was not what Hannah wantedit was too ordinary for her tastes.
I never thought years of love, countless nights together, and all those breakfasts and dinners I made would ultimately lose to the fear of being ordinary.
Its no surpriseyou’re now the CEO of Snees Corporation, Jayrodales golden girl, with countless admirers.
And me? I’m just a nobody, clearly not worthy of the outstanding Ms. Snees.
Kingsley chuckled bitterly, feeling utterly disheartened.
Hannahs brow furrowed as she glanced at him.
Kingsley, I admit youve done a lot for me, but this… its not what I want.
Forget it.
I know you wont understand, no matter how much I explain.
Take the money.
Consider it compensation for your efforts over the years, Hannah said as she pushed the check toward him.
Kingsley did not even look at the check.
A 1.2 million dollars breakup fee? How generous of you, Ms. Snees.
But I don’t need it.
He stood up and walked toward the door.
Seeing Kingsley about to leave, Hannahs frown deepened.
Kingsley, I strongly advise you to take this money.
don’t be a fool for the sake of pride.
A small-time doctor like you could never earn this much in a lifetime.
Kingsley ignored her words.
In truth, 1.2 million dollars was not a sum he particularly needed.
Hold it right there, a voice called out.
A woman dripping in jewelry and wearing flashy makeup strode into the room.
Kingsley immediately recognized her.
Aunt Irene! It was Hannahs mother, Irene Cowellwho would have been Kingsleys mother-in-law.
Hmph, drop the Aunt Irene, were not that close! If you’re leaving, take your things with you.
Our mansion has no room for your junk, Irene barked.
She pulled a small box and a credit card from her purse and tossed them at Kingsley.
The warmth that had briefly appeared on his face was instantly replaced by a cold expression.
It was the engagement ring he had carefully chosen for Hannah, along with the money he had saved for their wedding.
Even if the marriage was broken off, there was no need to hurt his feelings.
Aunt Irene, you wanted this too? I thought Ive always treated you with respect.
Irene let out a harsh laugh, her voice grating.
Whats the matter, Kingsley? Did I hit a nerve? Mom, watch your mouth! Hannah snapped, her brow furrowing.
However, Irene was on a roll.
Why should I? Hes nothing but a dreamer chasing the impossible.
Does he think he can marry into our family? Not a chance! Oh, Kingsley, theres one more thing you should know.
Hannah will soon be engaged to Harvey Weller once he returns from abroad.
You’re not in the same league as Harvey, got it? Irenes face was full of mockery as she said those.
Kingsley looked at Hannah icily.
He was shocked at her audacity to find someone new before she even ended things with him.
Hannah avoided Kingsleys cold gaze, but her words were firm.
The Weller family is a powerhouse in Jayrodale, with influence across military, political, and business sectors.
Theyve worked for generations to become one of the citys unshakeable pillars.
Harvey will inherit it all one day.
An alliance between our families is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For me, its a chance to transform my life.
At those words, Kingsley finally let go.
He smiled and replied, Is that so? Well then, allow this poor nobody to wish you and the Snees family all the best in your social climbing endeavors.
With that, he walked out without another glance, showing no trace of attachment.
As she watched Kingsleys retreating figure, Hannah felt a whirlwind of emotions.
She had expected him to explode with anger or beg her to reconsider when he heard about Harvey.
Yet, throughout it all, Kingsley had remained unnervingly calm, even indifferent at the end.
Mom, do you think I went too far? Irene scoffed.
Too far? That good-for-nothing thinking he could marry younow thats going too far! She chuckled with a gleam in her eye.
Just wait until Harvey gets back, sweetie.
Once you two are engaged, the Snees family will skyrocket to the top tier of Jayrodale society.
As for Kingsley, hes nothing.
Thankfully, he knows better than to mess with me and is cooperative.
Otherwise, I wouldve taught him a lesson hed never forget! Hannah remained silent, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in her chest.
It was as if something irreplaceable had suddenly vanished from her life.
In the elevator, Kingsley opened the modest ring box.
A dazzling pink diamond immediately caught the light, its brilliance filling the small space.
