Chapter 318:

“I know what you’re about to say,” Belinda cut him off, lifting her teacup with an authoritative gesture.

“I can accept anything but this!”

“I’m merely informing you, not asking for permission.” Rhys’ brow creased slightly, his tone as firm and cold as winter’s frost, allowing no room for argument.

Belinda’s cheeks reddened with frustration.

“What are you thinking? Consider what the alliance between the Green and Sanderson families means!”

“I’ll take full responsibility,” Rhys said, leaving Belinda at a loss for words. Rhys was known for his resolve, rarely changing his mind once he made a decision.

Belinda recognized there was no swaying him on the decision to dissolve the engagement.

“Alright, I’ll manage the annulment with the Sanderson family myself,” Belinda said, elegantly sipping her tea, her voice maintaining a light and easy tone.

“But one condition. The woman you choose to marry must have my approval, or she won’t enter the Green family!”

Without waiting for Rhys’ response, Belinda smoothed her hair and left.

Rhys’ father, Jose Green, appeared, noting his wife’s agitated look.

“What’s the matter, honey? Rhys is home, so why the long face?”

Belinda waved her hand dismissively.

“Don’t start. Our stubborn boy is insisting on ending the engagement. I don’t even know how to tell Skyla.”

Jose sighed deeply.

“We’re at fault. I’ll accompany you to talk with the Sanderson family.”

Belinda acknowledged his words, her eyes reflecting a sense of defeat.

“This is going to be difficult.”

“If only I had known, I would never have agreed to this engagement in the first place.” Jose closed his eyes, choosing to say nothing more.

The following morning, Skyla invited Harlee to join her on a shopping expedition.

“You traveled abroad with Kareem, so now it’s your turn to join me for some shopping!”

Harlee gave Skyla a look of mild resignation. She was not fond of shopping and seldom went to malls unless necessary for a specific task. Nevertheless, she could not decline Skyla’s earnest request and soon agreed.

“Let’s go, sweetheart.” Skyla smiled, showing off her dazzling smile as she affectionately linked arms with Harlee.

As they traveled, their car happened to pass by Rhys’ parents. The driver let Skyla and Harlee off at the largest shopping center in Baythorn. Upon arriving, Skyla eagerly led Harlee to several of her preferred shops.

As an exclusive member of the mall, Skyla received a warm welcome from the sales staff at each boutique.

“Mrs. Sanderson, you’re here! Is this your daughter? She is absolutely stunning, just like you,” a sales assistant exclaimed and then guided them into the VIP area while excitedly showing off a tablet.
