Chapter 21
At this moment, Kiara coughed lightly a few times, signaling everyone to be quiet.
“How you bullied Lilyana, we knew it very well. Graham will teach you a lesson, and we won’t
interfere.”
“But now, how did you treat Violet? Where did you place her reputation, and where did you place the reputation of the Marquez family?”
“I used to say that I liked you all, and now it is also you who are unwilling to propose to her. But I have already made it clear about my engagement, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back!”
“Unless the three of you found someone you loved and got married, there would still be others even
without Violet!”
As soon as the words fell, Kiara angrily got up and wanted to leave.
Graham stepped forward and helped her leave.
Lilyana followed closely behind as well.
After they left, the light in Branden’s eyes instantly dimmed.
“There was no chance.”
He muttered disappointedly.
Braxton and Deven were also just silent.
After a long while, Deven clenched his fists, and almost squeezed out these words from deep within
his throat, “It’s impossible, Lilyana has been chasing after us for so long, how is it possible that she
doesn’t like one of us?”
“She understood me so well, understood every character I played, collected so much about me, she
must have me in her heart.”
He spoke, bitter and with tears and laughter, suddenly stood up, ran back to his own room frantically, searching for the box that Lilyana had thrown on him before.
Holding those notes written by hand, with deep affection and persistence.
“She never gave up all these years, and if it weren’t for the arranged marri e between the two
families, she would never have chosen to marry Uncle.”
“It’s all my fault. I should have realized my true feelings earlier, which caused us to miss each
other. She just got married to Uncle, without any feelings. How can it compare to our many years

being together?”
His gaze gradually became firm.
Braxton and Branden followed behind him and naturally overheard his soliloquy.
In his heart, he also deceived himself, telling himself that maybe it was true, after all, they had a deep understanding of Lilyana’s persistence and love for them.
Can you really move on from a relationship so quickly?
Even if it was due to a marriage alliance, could she really manage to have no love at all?
Has she really never been moved at all during all these years of being good to them?
Braxton didn’t believe.
He also returned to the room and flipped through all the medical notes written by Lilyana.
Unlike those pursuers who came because of his appearance, she was genuinely studying everything
he was interested in.
From the very beginning of being completely clueless, to later on truly impressing him, how could
she have persevered to this point without any love for him?
