The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 7

Faced with Nova's sharp retort, Caleb scoffed coldly. "Nova, drop the spoiled heiress act. I know you look down on us and think we're marrying up! If you don't want this engagement, just say it!"

"Caleb! What is wrong with you? Stop talking nonsense!"

Mrs. Langdon furiously swatted at her son's arm.

Their family was on the verge of ruin. If they lost the Donald family's backing, how were the two of them supposed to rebuild their empire?

If the company went bankrupt, they'd likely lose the roof over their heads!

"Mom, don't try to stop me! I'm just telling the truth!"

Caleb made zero effort to hide his absolute disgust.

Predictably, the color completely drained from Mr. and Mrs. Donald's faces.

If they had been maintaining basic social politeness moments ago, the atmosphere in the room was now dead silent.

So this was how Caleb actually viewed their daughter!

Nova had always been gentle and sweet. She had never thrown her weight around or acted like a snob. She had dedicated herself entirely to Caleb and his family, perfectly willing to marry a man beneath her station. She had never once spoken a single bad word about the Langdons.

Yet here Caleb was, openly humiliating their daughter right to their faces!

Mr. Donald's voice was like ice. "It seems your son has no interest in marrying my daughter. In that case, let's call off the engagement right now!"

"Mr. Donald, Caleb is just being immature. Please don't be angry. I'll make sure he apologizes properly. Besides... Nova has always adored Caleb, hasn't she? The kids are probably just having a little fight. Isn't that right, Nova?"

Mrs. Langdon looked at Nova in total panic. Nova simply met her gaze and spoke with perfect calm.
