Kayla’s face was pale.
Last night, she had seen Arnold stirred by her advances. If everything had gone as planned, she would have kept him by her side, and tomorrow’s engagement banquet would have made Felicia the laughingstock. But even at that moment, he had still forced her away.
Of course, Kayla wasn’t about to let him go, but after a brief silence, he said he was sorry before knocking her out cold.
Kayla was fuming. She grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it across the room in frustration.
It was the day of Arnold and Felicia’s engagement banquet.
The banquet was scheduled for 5:00 pm, and it was already 3:00 pm.
That meant there were less than two hours left before the banquet began. She would never get another chance if she didn’t find a way to stop it now. Kayla’s eyes darkened, and her once sweet and innocent face was now filled with malice.
Her gaze then fell upon a fruit knife on the table.

Felicia was busy that weekend, having treated five patients in two days, all with complex conditions that the medical center struggled to resolve.
Since the troubles with Noah’s family and the subsequent death of Roberta, Clive had closed himself off, still reeling from the events. He was angry with Noah’s family and began imposing stricter control over the Walsh family. At the same time, he felt guilty about Roberta’s death.
As Clive aged, he gradually began to delegate responsibilities to Felicia, allowing her to take over the medical center.
Felicia, the young heiress, needed to prove herself. Her medical knowledge was unparalleled, unheard of before. She could solve even the most complicated medical conditions with just one move.
With each case she handled, even her peers at the medical center, who had once been skeptical of her medical knowledge, were gradually convinced of her abilities.
Today was no different.
After finishing with one patient, Felicia was exhausted and hungry on her way back to school. She stopped to buy a hot dog and a croissant from a street vendor.

Sitting by a flowerbed, she started eating her hot dog when suddenly a large shadow blocked the sunlight overhead.
Looking up, she saw a group of bodyguards clad in black suits and sunglasses surrounding her.
The leader bowed slightly and said
respectfully, “Mrs. Lawson, we’v
come on Mr. Lawson Senior’s orders to escort you. Please get in the car.”
This situation echoed Matthew’s previous threat to her.
Even if it meant force, he would see her brought to the wedding!
Felicia took another bite of her hot dog, maintaining her calm demeanor. “Mr. Lawson Senior is really something. What’s the point of kidnapping me? If you have the ability, let-” en FindNovel
Before she could finish, the bodyguards parted to make way.
Arnold stepped out of the car, striding toward her with long legs. “Are you looking for me?”
Felicia nearly choked on her food, her eyes widening in disbelief.
What was Arnold doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be with Kayla?
In her past life, during the engagement banquet, Arnold hadn’t even shown up.
Let alone in this life, where Felicia and Arnold were hardly on good terms. He despised her and would have preferred to see her humiliated. That was precisely why she was so certain this engagement would never happen!
But now, this man had actually come to pick her up?
