Harley thought that I was lying because I was so stubborn.

"Of course, I don't mind. I'm so happy to have such an outstanding fiancé. Adrian is the best."

I looked at the complacency in Harley's eyes and sighed slightly. She was so naive, and I couldn't even be bothered by her tactics.

Harley saw the indifferent expression on my face, and a trace of ferocity flashed across her beautiful face.

She gritted her teeth and whispered in my ear, "Tilda, you must be very angry. Stop pretending to be magnanimous!"

I raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I wish you happiness."

Honestly, I did want her to be happy.

Because Adrian didn't like women.

In fact, Adrian and I were besties.

The news of their engagement was soon known to the media and made the front page of the news.

For a while, I, his ex-fiancée, became the object of ridicule by everyone.

So, when my parents asked me to attend an event, I refused with the excuse of "heartbreak" because of the "breakup".

"Tilda, why are you so against us?"

Being rejected by me, my father felt his authority was challenged. His tone became slightly gloomy, and he began to criticize me for not being a good daughter.

Over the years, because I was my parents' only daughter, they had placed all their hopes on me and had strict demands on everything I did.

Many times, I felt more like their subordinate.

I looked at them, hiding the disappointment in my eyes, and said with a smile, "Harley can go. You have two daughters now, right? It doesn't have to be me."

Harley, who was watching the show on the side, was stunned by my words. She couldn't believe she could be so lucky.

Almost as soon as I finished speaking, Harley eagerly said, "Mom, Dad, I'm willing to go for Tilda!"

My parents didn't have any more objections after they heard her words.

I looked at Harley's happy expression and smiled meaningfully.

On the day of the banquet, I didn't go, but I was being a dutiful onlooker the whole time.

Because Harley became a trending topic.

Her name was all over the trending topic list, and the topics included "Harley and her astonishing speech", "Harley's 10-carat diamond ring", "Harley's laughable remarks", and so on.

It seemed Harley had made a fool of herself.

Given the sarcasm in those trending topics, I was certain the comments below were even harsher.

I carefully looked at the trending topic list.
