"I am sorry to disappoint you, Mrs. Wilson," I said, " James will be asking me to marry him soon and I plan on saying yes to his proposal and neither you nor anyone else can sabotage our happiness,"
"You must think you have a chance at happiness with my son," Mrs. Wilson sneered, "If you came here to see James, then where is he?"
My heartbeat increased as I stood there utterly confused while trying to grasp, "He wasn't aware I would be here, I came here to pay him a surprise visit so it's understandable if he is not here," I replied quickly.
"How stupid of you to think in that shallow way of yours Ellie, my son will never take you as a wife and that is why I believe he is out to pursue someone worth his time," Mrs. Wilson replied in a quick sharp tone.
"What do you mean by that Mrs. Wilson, what is going on, and where is James?" I asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, Ellie," she uttered in a voice filled with no remorse. "But James is getting engaged... to someone else."

　　I wasn't sure if he had thought it through before discussing it with me, but I would not allow such a thing to happen.


　　"For once, I need you to have faith in me. I will take care of everything, and we will win the case," I said convincingly.


　　"I have heard enough of your excuses and have let you do things your way so far, I believe it's time for me to take a step because I can't watch a company j built with my sweat and blood go down the drain due to your incompetence," my father replied.


　　"And then you think, this is the best thing to do? I thought we had an agreement, I thought you didn't care, if we lost the case since I got you the merger between our company and Evelyn's since I am to be married to her,"


　　"Or was I just a pawn in all of your arrangements?" I asked.
