Halbert spoke in a lecturing tone. “This is just how things work in our world. There’s no such thing as innocent love. Everyone has to be useful to survive. Your relationship with Henry is already rare and valuable. He’ll treat you well, and with the Foster family backing you, you won’t suffer. Isn’t that good enough?”

“Then would you be willing to marry someone you don’t love and spend the rest of your life with them?”

That one question rendered Halbert speechless.

After a long pause, he finally said, “My situation is different from yours.”

“What’s different?”

Eliza replied, “At the end of the day, you’re just as unwilling to be manipulated as I am. The only reason you’re saying this so easily is because it’s not happening to you.”

“I…”

“I’d rather never marry than marry someone I don’t truly love.”

Her voice was calm. “A marriage built on interests will one day fall apart because of those same interests. And when it does, the ending will be even uglier. I don’t want that.”

In her past life, hadn’t she been cast aside by Zayden the moment she became worthless?

Without true love, nothing else mattered.

At that moment, Eliza dialed Tristan’s number.

He picked up quickly, and his voice was gentle. “Finally decided to call hor

“Listen–I’m calling off the engagement with the Foster family.”

Eliza got straight to the point.

There was a brief silence on the other end. Then Tristan replied, “Alright.”

“What? They called off the engagement?”

Elaine stared at the maid in disbelief. The maid nodded. “Yes. It’s all over the social circles now. The announcement was made at a press conference by none other than Tristan, head of the Sue family. It was a one–sided declaration–he officially ended the engagement with the Foster family.”

The maid didn’t understand why things had taken such a turn.

They had just received the Foster family’s engagement invitations a few days ago.

Now Elaine was being kept in a sujte at the hotel, unable to go anywhere, with only a maid to relay the outside world’s updates.

Upon hearing the news, Elaine clenched her fists tightly.

Why would Eliza call off the engagement?

Chapter 381 A Marriage Without Love

Was it because she wanted to be with Nolan?

That two–faced liar.

She’d told Elaine herself that she had nothing going on with Nolan.

And now, she’d called off the engagement with Henry–all for Nolan?

Furious, Elaine stormed to the door and yanked it open, shouting at the guards, “I’m going out. Move!”

The two guards exchanged glances, but neither budged.

Nolan had given them strict instructions: Elaine was not to leave the hotel under any circumstances.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Elaine. Mr. Hayes ordered that you’re to stay here.”

“Let her go.”

A man’s voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Elaine turned and saw Tyson walking down the corridor.

At the sight of him, the guards immediately lowered their heads. “Mr. Hayes.”

“Ms. Elaine is of noble status and poor health. What, do you want her trapped in this hotel forever? If something happens to her, who’s going to take responsibility? You? Or you?”
