Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her father being a gambler and her stepmother and sister being spendthrifts. At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family.

However, Jocelyn's obedience did not make Anna calm down. Instead, she became even angrier.

The reason why she approved three days of leave for Jocelyn previously was that she had seen the news of Jocelyn and Aren's engagement on the Internet.

Jocelyn was actually so indecent. With an outstanding fiancé like Aren, she wasn't satisfied and even messed with other men. Even if Aren stood up for her in the end, Anna did not think that what Aren said was the truth.

After all, Aren was different from Jocelyn. He had his own company, and he was considered a public figure. He not only had to consider his personal feelings, but also the interests of the company.

Clearly, in Anna's eyes, Aren was sacrificing his own interests. He gritted his teeth and spoke up for Jocelyn to help the company tide over the crisis and prevent a turmoil in the stock market.
