Chapter 1067

Vera didn’t glance back at her friends as she quickly grabbed her bag and rushed out of the spa. However, the moment she stepped outside, several reporters immediately surrounded her. They bombarded her with awkward and uncomfortable questions, making Vera’s complexion pale even further. “No comment. His engagement has nothing to do with me. I genuinely wish him all the best.”

She managed to maintain a dignified response.

Pushing through the reporters, she hurried back to her car and drove away quickly.

Once she left, her friends emerged from the spa, exchanging bewildered glances as they watched her car speed off.

This was unusual. It seemed Vera was genuinely flustered.

Until now, she had always appeared indifferent, but her reaction today suggested otherwise. She seemed genuinely concerned and panicked.

As they looked at each other, an unspoken understanding passed among them. Maintaining appearance was sometimes crucial in their social circle, where they often ran into one another.

Inside the car, Vera’s phone buzzed incessantly with calls coming in. She parked in an underground parking lot of a nearby shopping mall.

She stared at her phone in the parking lot, which continued to buzz incessantly. There were calls from friends, the Ruell family members, and even some unfamiliar numbers.

Her WhatsApp buzzed incessantly with notifications.

Her mind was blank. She felt as if she were in a daze.

She couldn’t believe what had happened.

Joe was now engaged to Lizzie. She pondered whether he had divorced Skylar. If he had, she still couldn’t comprehend why he chose someone else–someone entirely unfamiliar to her, a violinist, a Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

stranger.

Suddenly, Molly’s name came to her mind, prompting her to dial her number quickly.

Molly answered almost immediately. “You told me that if I placed the statue you gave me in my bedroom, Joe would completely despise Skylar, and they would end their marriage, right? They must have divorced, but instead of proposing to me, he’s engaged to someone else. Did you play me for a fool? How could I have ever believed you?”

Vera unleashed all her pent–up frustration on Molly. She had trusted her wholeheartedly, and now this was the outcome. It was unbearable.

Just moments ago, her friends had looked at her as if she were the punchline of the biggest joke ever. She had been waiting for Joe to take the initiative and approach her, feeling confident in her expectations. But in the moment she felt assured, it was as if she had been slapped hard across the face, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

Molly was flustered and replied, “Logically, he shouldn’t be engaged to anyone else. The ring or the statue I gave you should have helped you achieve your wishes. You and Joe have been in contact recently, so this shouldn’t be the outcome.

“Something must have happened that we’re unaware of. I’ll make sure to investigate Lizzie thoroughly. Don’t panic. It’s just an engagement, not a wedding. There’s no need to lose your composure over this.” While she might have said that, Molly understood well that she must have targeted the wrong person. In truth, Joe had never truly liked Vera from the beginning. So, the negative item couldn’t have influenced Joe’s feelings toward her. However, she couldn’t share that with Vera right now.

After hearing Molly’s words, Vera’s emotions calmed slightly.

“Could Skylar discover the ring I dropped at Galaxy Villa? Did she take the opportunity to do something?” Vera bit her lip and voiced her doubts.
