Jane got out of the taxi, her pretty face cold as ice. She walked straight towards the center stage of the banquet hall, stepping on the red carpet. Her feet felt like they were filled with lead, each step heavy and burdensome.
"Jane, why are you alone? Where's Patrick? Isn't he with you?" Old Pansy stood up when he saw Jane approaching and asked with concern.
Jane paused for a moment before answering expressionlessly, "He's not coming."
"What?" Old Pansy was shocked.
What did Jane mean?
Why wouldn't Patrick come?
What happened to him?
Old Pansy wanted to ask more questions but Jane walked past him directly and headed forward with a determined look in her eyes.
Everyone present could feel that something was off about Jane. They whispered among themselves:
"What happened?"
"Why is there only one bride here? Where's Mr. Pansy?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Did Mr. Pansy get cold feet at the last minute?"
In front of everyone's astonished gaze, Jane stepped onto the stage step by step.
The emcee was preparing on stage when he saw Jane walking towards him and hurriedly greeted her: "Miss North, the engagement ceremony hasn't started yet. You can take a break first."
But Jane completely ignored him and took the microphone from his hand directly.
She looked into space for a moment before clearing her throat and taking a deep breath. With firm determination in her voice she said: "Tonight's engagement ceremony is cancelled."
As soon as these words came out of Jane's mouth it was like throwing a huge rock into calm waters causing massive waves to rise up suddenly...
It was too sudden...
There were no signs beforehand...
All guests present were shocked looking at jane standing on stage; they looked at each other in confusion while discussing:
"Why did jane suddenly cancel their engagement ceremony? Is this some kind of joke?"
"She must have been dumped right?"
"Exactly! A wealthy family should marry someone who matches their status; how could someone like her who came from rural areas be sincerely engaged to Mr. Pansy?"
Ignoring all these discussions below them, Jane remained indifferent. Florence couldn't hide excitement from appearing on her face, she glanced over Erica beside herself,"Is jane crazy or what?"
Erica tried to please Florence,"Who knows? Maybe Mr. Pansy discovered what she really is, and dumped her."
Florence agreed happily,"Yes! That must be it! Finally Patrick has seen through this shameless fox spirit's true colors!"
"Florence, I told you that Mr. Pansy and Jane were just playing around, how could they really be engaged? Now you don't have to worry anymore, the position of Mrs. Pansy will definitely be yours." Erica kept flattering Florence.
Florence nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, reporters surrounded them with excitement.
The CEO of Pansy Group suddenly cancelled his engagement on the eve of the ceremony - this was explosive news!
"Miss North, why did you cancel the engagement ceremony?"
