Chapter 333: Chapter 383

Chapter 383 The third day of the New Year.

Relatives came to celebrate the New Year. Mariela sat in the living room to receive guests and chatted with the elders.

As they were chatting, Ruby, her curly–haired aunt, suddenly asked Deandre, Deandre, how come your family called off the engagement with the Stark family?”

Marie lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart,‘Can’t avoid what’s coming‘

Deandre remained calm. They didn’t get along well.”

Another uncle spoke up.“I heard Lennon got involved with a female celebrity. Is it true?

Marie muttered to herself, “Why is this man so nosy?”

Deandre replied, “I don’t know. He has called off the engagement. He could date whoever he likes.”

Ruby spoke up again.“Did Lennon cheat on Marie when they were together? Those privileged children from influential families are quite debauched. They play around with celebrities and models.”

Haleigh smiled and changed the topic. “Ruby, your bag looks really nice. I saw it in a magazine before. Is it a limited edition for the New Year? Ruby smiled and shifted her gaze to the bag beside her.“Yep, knew right away this was the one! Pretty snazzy, huh?

Haleigh smiled and said, “It looks good. I also want to buy one.”

“Seems like there is no stock available in America. I just got it yesterday. Need me to hunt one down for you?

Haleigh laughed and said, “Sure, thank you for that.”

The topic was shifted, but Ruby was so nosy and forcefully brought the topic back.

“Where were we just now?” Ruby asked eagerly.“Was it because Lennon was fooling around and got caught by Marie that you guys called off the engagement?”

Haleigh was about to speak, but Marie beat her to it and said, “No, Auntie Ruby. We broke up and he dated someone else.”

This answer was not what Ruby wanted to hear.

It wasn’t as exciting as cheating on someone else.

Ruby continued to gossip and asked, “How did you break up? Weren’t you two just holding an engagement ceremony? Though it ended up a failure, I remember your dad saying that you got along well and planned to have the engagement ceremony after the New Year. How did you suddenly break up?”

One of her uncles then said, “Yeah, what a great marriage it is. It is the Stark family. Many people can’t even beg for this marriage. This marriage should not be called off. It’s normal for men to play around outside. Just a female celebrity. The Stark family will not allow a celebrity to enter their door. When he gets tired of her, he will come back and marry you. Just endure it.”
