Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 2

Casey was taken aback upon hearing my words. However, she knew how much I loved her.

As such, she merely scoffed and said, "Do you even know what you're talking about, Jace? Call the wedding off? You have no right to say that."

Everyone around us burst out laughing.

"You loved Casey so much, Jace. Isn't it funny you'd say something like that?"

"That's right! Stop making a scene and just apologize!"

Everyone thought I would always go along with Casey because I loved her, but loving her had cost me everything.

My love for her was utterly gone after she had betrayed me completely and left me dying in my past life. Now, all I felt for her was hatred.

"I'll recall all the invitations." I ignored everyone else and merely looked at Casey indifferently. I firmly said, "Let's break up."

With that, I took off the engagement ring without hesitation and threw it straight at her.

This was the engagement ring I chose after searching through half the jewelry stores in Dynora. There was only one pair in the world, and it was custom-made.

In my past life, I had kept it on even until my last breath, but I no longer wanted it now.

Casey's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the ring that rolled around on the ground. There was even a hint of panic in her eyes, but it no longer had anything to do with me.

I turned to leave after I finished speaking. Everyone started murmuring behind me.

"Is he for real this time? He even took off his engagement ring."

"He's probably playing hard to get. After all, he always has many tricks up his sleeves."

"I thought so, too. It seems like Andrew has really gotten to him."

"If it hadn't been him pursuing Casey relentlessly back then, and with Andrew going abroad, Jace would have never had the chance."

Casey's high-pitched voice sounded just as I was about to walk out of the private room. "Stop right there, Jace! I won't ask you to apologize anymore, so can you please stop causing a scene now?"

Up until now, she still thought I was the one causing drama and that she had no fault.
