The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1451

Yvette refused to let go of gossip.

"What happened? Did Aunt Fiona break you two up?"

Lance's eyes looked amused when he heard Yvette’s words.

"My mother used the old-fashioned way. My ex took a sum of money and left."

Yvette snorted and shook her head. "Tsk tsk... It is quite vulgar. If she stayed with you, she would've had all your money. If I were her, I'd never leave so easily!’’

She could only say that Lance's ex-girlfriend was too shallow.

Lance raised his eyebrows and lifted his eyelids to look at Yvette like he was extremely interested in her.

"Will you persist?"

"Of course! One has to cast a long line to catch a big fish!"

Lance's smile deepened. "Ms. Quimbey, you sure have great foresight..."

Yvette paused and felt a little embarrassed that she just used herself as a comparison.

She immediately changed the subject.

"But why aren't you sad? Why didn’t you resist or

quarrel with Aunt Fiona?"

Lance looked at her with calm eyes as he smiled and shook his head.

"Those are things that only children do. Why should I b e unreasonable? No one can stop her if she wants to leave me. The conditions my mother offered are too attractive, so I have nothing to say."

Lance was indeed not sad about it. Rather, he had long felt that this unequal relationship was a burden he had to carry.

He was actually relieved that his ex-girlfriend left.

Lance could not abandon his ex-girlfriend halfway through due to morals, casual self-restraint, and his good impression of her back then even though this good impression had faded away when he got to know her better.

However, Lance did not treat his ex poorly. If Fiona had not stepped in, he felt that he would have gotten married. It would just be dull and restrained.

Lance could not bring himself to tell the woman who was infatuated with him that he did not love her.

Fiona's appearance was like a timely rain that saved him from this fire.

To outsiders, this was just a superiority contest of the gentry for the perfect match.

They sympathized, joked, and said that true love was priceless, but in the face of interests, it was not worth mentioning.

Only Lance felt that it was too heavy to carry this emotional burden, so he was happy to put it down.
