Lily’s mouth hung open for a long time, unable to close Yet Yunice’s expression was even darker than hers. She stared coldly at Luke, “You’re saying… the one engaged to the Powell family is me?”

Luke smiled family. “Yes”

With a heavy thud. Lily’s legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

Giana, watching the scene unfold, quietly slipped away to call Owen.

Yunice showed no trace of joy. Her voice was low and steady. I already signed the annulment papers. How could I possibly be marrying Paul!”

Luke replied calmly, “Ms. Saunders, you’ve misunderstood. Mr. Jackson didn’t arrange for you to marry Mr. Paul

Lily, who had just lifted her head in shock, felt like her heart was riding a roller coaster.

It doesn’t matter who Yunice married. As long as it’s not Paul

Yunice frowned. Then who is it?”

Luke answered slowly, “It’s Mr. Cooper

What!

It felt as though fireworks exploded inside Yunice’s mind.

“Wyan?!” Lily was still struggling to make sense of everything. But as though something just struck her, she screamed. “Mr. Jackson wants Yunice to marry Wyatt?!”

“Yes, Luke answered.

Finally, Luke stopped playing nice. “Even the engagement gifts from a few days ago were sent by Mr. Jackson on behalf of Mr. Cooper. They are for Ms. Saunders. It had nothing to do with Ms. Elsie. The Powell family never

Once he left, she could properly discuss things with Owen and figure out their next move.

But to Lily’s horror, Luke did not leave as expected. Instead, he calmly sat down on the sofa, settling in like he owned the place. It seems the Saunders family has some misunderstandings about this marriage. În that case, I shall wait here until Mr. Owen returns. Then we’ll settle this matter properly.”

Such a massive upheaval in the Powell family, and he, the precious son of the house, had been the last to know. Did the Powell family even remember he existed?

With Paul’s arrival, Luke no longer dared to remain sealed.

Paul’s voice was icy. “How can Yunice marry Wyatt? I was the one who broke off her engagement. Do you intend for the entire Silverburgh to point at my back and laugh?”

Luke replied respectfully. “Mr. Paul, I don’t know the details either. Everything was arranged by Mr. Jackson. I’m merely following orders.”

Paul had still been holding on to the hope that this was some kind of misunderstanding. But judging from. the situation now, it was real
