The comments section was pure chaos, with people tagging Patty left and right, demanding to know if Waylon was really with her.
Meanwhile, Patty was getting ready for bed, unaware of the storm brewing online. She had been trying to track down Waylon for days but hadn’t been able to find him. Only today did she learn he was with Isabella at the palace!
Normally, Patty would have marched straight there, but after causing trouble during her last visit, she didn’t dare show up unannounced.
Besides, her cousin’s engagement ceremony was tomorrow.
Her phone buzzed incessantly, and when she finally glanced at it, she was met with a flood of messages asking if she was with Waylon.
Patty frowned, taking a moment to grasp the unfolding situation. Waylon had publicly denied her!
Though he had never officially claimed her as his girlfriend, Patty, with her lofty status, had arrogantly assumed that he could never have anyone else. In her mind, Waylon was already hers.
Now, faced with his outright rejection broadcasted for all to see, Patty felt utterly humiliated.
With a haughty snort, she fired off a post: “Turns out some efforts don’t yield any returns.”
This cryptic post didn’t escape the scrutiny of netizens.
“You’ve done so much for Waylon, haven’t you? We all thought you were a couple, and you probably believed it too. Who knew Waylon was just using you! My heart really goes out to you!”
“Does Waylon think denying the relationship is enough? If Waylon doesn’t want to be with Patty, he should return all the perks he got from her!”
“Waylon is shameless, nothing but a gold digger! He should apologize to Patty!”
Netizens rallied around Patty, clamoring for Waylon to apologize.
“Seriously? Does Patty have no shame? I earned my success through my own hard work. What does that have to do with her?” Waylon seethed with rage.
These netizens were out of their minds! They had blindly thrown their support behind Patty.
Isabella, however, mused thoughtfully, “Patty is just digging her own grave. You work for a company under her family’s conglomerate, right?”
“Yeah, I didn’t realize at first that our company was backed by a conglomerate in Aswil. Ever since I found out, I’ve been itching to terminate the contract,” Waylon’s frustration was palpable.
“Perfect! This is a golden opportunity,” Isabella said, her smile piquing Waylon’s curiosity.
She continued, “You want to break the contract, right? If they breach it first, you won’t have to pay any penalties.”
“But doesn’t everyone think I’m the one breaking it now?” Waylon scratched his head in confusion.
“That’s precisely what we need,” Isabella replied, her tone calm and assured.
Waylon gazed into Isabella’s eyes, the realization dawning upon him as excitement bubbled up within him. “You’re a genius, Isabella!”
Isabella merely smiled lightly in response. “Now you need to make Patty truly believe you have a girlfriend. That will only make her angrier, and she’ll demand a hefty breach penalty. By then, it’ll be the perfect moment to reveal our relationship.”
Just as she finished speaking, Waylon’s phone rang.
It was Patty.
Isabella gestured for him to take the call.
Waylon answered. Patty’s voice rang through with an air of superiority. “Waylon, do you finally get it? If you leave me, you’ll be criticized by everyone!”
Her tone dripped with arrogance. “If you’re with me, I can help you become a global star! But if you turn your back on me, I’ll make sure you struggle to survive in this industry!” She was convinced that no one in their right mind would dare reject her.
After all, she was rich and stunning, and countless people longed for her favor but found themselves unable to win it.
Waylon’s fists tightened in frustration as he shot back, “I don’t like you! Patty, I’ve told you countless times, you’re just not my type!”
“What do you mean? You’re into that woman in the photos, aren’t you?” Patty’s fury flared instantly. “What’s so special about her? She’s no match for me!”
Patty couldn’t believe it. That woman wasn’t even wearing anything luxurious!
What could Waylon possibly see in her?
With a sneer, she said, “Oh, I get it now. You’re into women who are beneath you, huh? You’re just like every other man.”
These men only wanted women who could boost their egos.
“Be my boyfriend, and I could give you everything you want,” Patty tried to tempt Waylon once more.
“Even if she weren’t around, I still wouldn’t like you.” Waylon let out a cold laugh.
“So, you do like her?” Patty hissed through gritted teeth. Waylon fell silent.
His silence was deafening, like a blade twisting in Patty’s heart.
The man she had pursued for so long was drawn to someone she considered beneath her—a blow to her pride that cut deep.
“Fine, Waylon, you’ll regret this,” Patty said coldly before hanging up the phone.
Isabella, unfazed by the drama, let out a yawn.
Waylon suggested, “You should get some sleep, Isabella. You need the rest.”
“Alright,” Isabella replied.
Waylon also went to bed, eager to sleep in until noon.
It had been days since he’d gotten a decent night’s rest, and he wasn’t keen on being awake for Andrew’s engagement anyway.
However, he was jolted awake early by the loud crackle of fireworks.
Savannah’s engagement had kicked off with a bang, quite literally.
He groaned, muttering curses under his breath as he tried—and failed—to drown out the noise by pulling the blanket over his head. Just then, footsteps echoed outside his door. Curious, he got up and opened it, spotting Isabella heading downstairs. Without hesitation, he followed her.
“Isabella, where are you going?”
“It’s the engagement ceremony today. Oh, and Waylon, you should come too.” Isabella glanced back at him. “Patty will be there as well.”
Waylon tensed at the thought. “Are you sure about this? Maybe we should skip it. How about we go to Hita instead? You haven’t had a chance to explore the country yet.”
“No, Waylon. Get dressed. I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Isabella said before disappearing down the stairs.
Waylon had no choice but to start changing his clothes. As they sat down for breakfast, he kept sneaking glances at Isabella, searching for any hint of sadness. But her face remained calm. It only made him worry more. He knew she had to be hiding her pain.
After all, how could anyone watch the person they loved get engaged to someone else and not feel crushed? He would be heartbroken if he were in her shoes!
By the time they arrived at the venue, it was nearly noon. This time, neither of them bothered with disguises. Their arrival caused a bit of a stir.
The scandal about Waylon’s supposed affair had already flooded the internet, and everyone at the event was well aware of it. The looks Waylon and Isabella received were loaded with unspoken thoughts.
Patty had arrived early to help with the preparations, and the sight of the two of them sent her blood boiling. She had warned Waylon just the day before, yet here he was, acting like nothing had happened, parading that woman at her cousin’s engagement ceremony! The burning question in her mind was: how did they even get in?
There was only one explanation—Waylon must’ve pretended to be her boyfriend. After all, to show off her status in front of Waylon, she had brought him here once, and the guards might have assumed Waylon was her boyfriend.
Furious, Patty stormed toward Waylon and Isabella. All eyes turned her way, anticipating the drama about to unfold. Everyone knew Patty’s temper, and it looked like Waylon and his girlfriend were about to face her wrath.
Patty resorted to her usual tactic, raising her hand to strike Isabella. Isabella found it tedious—Patty had never managed to hit her, yet she always tried. This time, though, Waylon intercepted, grabbing Patty’s wrist and pushing it aside. Patty felt even more humiliated.
Her eyes burned with resentment. “Waylon, have you no shame? Pretending to be my boyfriend just to sneak another woman in here?”
Her accusation landed like a bombshell.
The crowd gasped.
