She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 402

A faint smirk touched Rowan's lips. "How did I make things difficult for her?"

Victoria opened her mouth to reply but suddenly froze, her gaze dropping to the faint scratches visible on his neck. Remembering how deeply he used to care for Jasmine, this sudden change in attitude sparked a realization. "Did you find another woman? Is that why you moved on?"

Rowan paused for a beat. "No."

"You better not have. Because any woman who throws herself at a man who already has a girlfriend is nothing but trash."

Rowan shot his mother an icy glare. He was the one who had pursued Lyra first. However, not wanting Victoria to investigate the matter, he kept his mouth shut.

"What did Dad say?"

Victoria let out a heavy sigh. "Jasmine's father has a criminal record. Your father never approved of the match to begin with. He only agreed because of how much you cared about her. Now he's saying the breakup is for the best. We'll start looking for a woman from a respectable family who actually matches our status."

"Don't bother," Rowan said. "I'll find my own wife. You won't be disappointed."

Victoria frowned, about to argue, when her phone rang with a call from Tabitha. She immediately waved her eldest son off. "Go handle your business if you're busy."

Rowan didn't linger and turned to leave.

As he reached the doorway, he heard Victoria sigh deeply, her tone full of regret. "I just feel like with the way those two kids ended up, we adults share some of the blame..."

Rowan ignored her and walked straight out the door.

...

That evening, at an exclusive private club in Seaborne City.

A group of wealthy heirs and socialites were gathered in a VIP room, chatting animatedly. Waylon was among them. He glanced at his phone, noting that Lyra still hadn't called him back. He lifted his gaze, scanning the room as he listened to the gossip.

"Rowan and Jasmine are completely done. This was a public, official announcement. No room for reconciliation."

"I knew something was off between them. Even when they were seen together, they always seemed so distant. No spark at all. Guess this is the final cut."
