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 faintly. “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.
“Wyatt?!” 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.
Lily nearly lost her voice. “How can that be! Wyatt is Paul’s uncle! If Yunice marries him, wouldn’t that make her above Elsie?!”
In the future, wouldn’t Elsie have to call Yunice ‘Aunt‘? How could she possibly accept that humiliation?
But Luke merely sneered, his tone filled with disdain. “That won’t happen.”
Lily refused to give up. “Why not?!”

Luke cut her off sharply. “Because the Powell family will never let Ms. Elsie marry in. Madam Lily, you’re overthinking it.”

That single word, ‘overthinking,‘ landed on Lily’s face like a merciless slap.
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 agreed to any marriage with
her.”
Ignoring the utterly devastated Lily, who looked like she had just been struck by lightning, Luke waved his hand. “Quickly, take her measurements. The wedding date is tight; let’s not waste time.”
But Yunice coldly pushed the measuring tools away. Her voice was frosty. “I knew nothing of this marriage. I don’t agree to it. Whoever promised you this marriage, go find them!”
Then, she spun around and stormed back to her room, bolting the door shut behind her.
Outside, Luke and Lily exchanged helpless glances.
To Lily, this was a chance and a way out. She hurriedly suggested, “Perhaps… Luke, you should return for now?”

Once he left, she could properly discuss things with Owen and figure out their next move.
Damn! Of all times, where on earth had Owen gone? She had not been able to reach him on the phone this whole time.
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. In that case, I shall wait here until Mr. Owen returns. Then we’ll settle this matter properly.”

Elsie was the first to rush back, bringing with her Paul, who sat in his wheelchair.
And Owen’s phone was still unreachable.
The moment Elsie stepped into the house, her legs turned weak. When she saw Luke sitting there, her heart sank.
This was not a nightmare. This was not some prank by Lily. The Powell family really had changed the bride.
