Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies

Chapter 853 How Could She Accept Such a Drastic Downgrade?

The reaction of those who usually had a good relationship with Marcus was calm, but those who had hidden grudges against him couldn’t help but take pleasure in his misfortune. In the past, the Wallace family had shown off many times with this excellent marriage proposal. Who would have thought it would turn out to be a scam? “So, it’s really a twisted fate,” a well-dressed woman in the crowd remarked. Marcus’s face darkened slightly, but he didn’t say much, given the occasion. The woman continued, “I think flies don’t land on seamless eggs. If it weren’t for… it probably wouldn’t have been so easy to fool her.” “Today is a joyous occasion in my family. If you sincerely came to celebrate, I’d naturally welcome you. But if you don’t know how to speak properly, I’ll have to ask you to leave,” Marcus finally couldn’t tolerate it any longer and said with a furrowed brow. The woman was taken aback, not expecting Marcus, who was usually quite amiable, to have such a firm side. She opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything more. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Helin and her fiancé gracefully descended the stairs, leaving Charlotte and Joe slightly stunned. What they didn’t expect was that Helin’s fiancé turned out to be Eleanor. Eleanor’s smile froze when he saw Charlotte and Joe, never expecting to encounter these two figures here. Sensing the awkwardness of those around him, Helin looked at him in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” Eleanor shook his head and replied, “Nothing.” Helin withdrew her gaze, and a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes as she lowered them. From the very beginning, she had no interest in Eleanor.

Having grown up in the same social circle, she had heard rumors about Eleanor. He was known for his playboy lifestyle, lacked responsibility, and was fortunate enough to be the only son of the Dryden family, which earned him their favor. If it were just an arranged marriage, Helin might have been able to accept it. But with such a stark contrast right in front of her, how could she possibly accept such a drastic downgrade? Helin’s gaze fell upon Joe and Charlotte, and she clenched her wedding gown involuntarily. And so, the pair of prospective newlyweds arrived before Charlotte and Joe, each harboring their own secrets. Marcus smiled warmly at both of them and said, “All the past incidents were due to Helin’s youthful ignorance. We hope you can forgive her.” He gave Helin a discreet glance, and despite her reluctance, Helin could only pick up the champagne glass from the tray behind her and apologize to Charlotte, “I was in the wrong before. I hope you can forgive me.” Helin’s face was filled with grievances, and her eyes even welled up slightly. If anyone unaware of the truth saw this scene, they might assume that Charlotte was taking advantage of her. Helin raised her glass and emptied it in one gulp. After finishing her drink, Helin’s gaze fell back onto Charlotte. Charlotte was about to take a sip of her drink in response when Joe gently took the glass from her hand and downed its contents. “Her health isn’t great, so let me have this drink for her,” Joe remarked. Charlotte and Joe exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken understanding fueling the flames of jealousy in Helin. She wished she could rush forward, forcefully pulling the tightly entwined couple apart, as far away from each other as possible.

She was clearly engaged to “Joe,” so why did it all end up as a scam in the end? Recognizing her thoughts, Helin took a deep breath, regained her composure, and left while holding onto Eleanor
