“Elizabeth Aitken!”

Jake Leaford’s urgent voice rang out.

Elizabeth stopped in her tracks, and Jake quickly walked up and grabbed her hand, his eyes firm: “I’ve cut ties with my family, and now I’m just an ordinary person, not the Leaford family’s young master, and I have no family business to inherit. Would you give me another chance?”

Cut ties?

Elizabeth stared at him blankly.

As if afraid she wouldn’t believe him, Jake showed her the messages between him and his family on his cell phone: “Look, I’ve even returned my credit and bank cards to them. Now I’m just like you, an ordinary worker. We can be a pair of ordinary lovers, not affected by family relationships.”

She never thought he would actually cut ties with his family, and Elizabeth was shocked.

“But what about your arranged marriage with someone else  Will your family let you off the hook?”

She remembered that Jake was the only child in his family, and if he really cut off ties, Mrs. Leaford probably wouldn’t let him off the hook easily.

“They don’t care about me anymore. That was the condition I agreed to the arranged marriage for – if it didn’t work out, they couldn’t bind me anymore.”

Thinking of the last arranged marriage incident, Jake smiled: “That marriage was just a farce, it was bound to fail.”

That was his goal.

Only by pretending to be obedient could he ultimately get what he wanted.

“Elizabeth, now I have nothing, and I may have to depend on you financially in the future. You won’t despise me, will you?”

Hearing his words, a tumultuous wave surged in Elizabeth’s heart.

Jake had severed ties with his family because of her.

It was impossible not to be moved, but she couldn’t bring herself to agree right now.

“Give me two days to think about it.” Jake held up two fingers, “If you’re willing to start over with me, I’m willing to start from scratch.”

“Starting from scratch, I can do it.”

Elizabeth’s eyes reddened slightly, but she didn’t say anything. However, the balance in her heart had already tipped.

Social status and class were difficult obstacles for her to overcome, but now, Jake had filled the gap.

“I don’t want to support a man who wants to live off me.”

She sniffled, and her words softened significantly.

Of course, she was touched.

For her, this man gave up everything she worried about. Since that’s the case, why not give it a try?

She reminded herself.

Not far away, Molly Walker was in a gift shop, listening as the waiter recommended gifts to her.

“This gift is reasonably priced and very suitable for engaged couples. Marriage is all about happiness. The candies and chocolates inside symbolize sweetness, and this little accessory is different from other people’s gifts ”

The waiter enthusiastically introduced the items, and as Molly looked at them, she felt a little distracted.

The first time she got married, she hadn’t even picked out engagement gifts. Everything was prepared by the Gallagher family. She only remembered that the gifts were beautiful and practical, with almost no one unsatisfied.

That time, the Gallagher family gifts were chosen by Michael Gallagher. At first, she was afraid of losing face, but she didn’t expect him to put so much thought into it, even considering the choice of gifts carefully.

During her first marriage, she was forced into it, and apart from the cold agreement on their wedding night, there were hardly any flaws.

But later, each step was wrong.

“Miss, how about it? If you don’t like this one, we have other styles ” The waiter’s voice brought her back to her thoughts.

Molly snapped back to reality and continued picking earnestly.

Just then, a sharp voice rang out, “Ivy Thompson!”

It was Gillian Thompson.

She sat in a wheelchair, maneuvering it quickly toward Molly, her clothes disheveled, her expression pained, looking extremely miserable.

Although she tried her best to conceal her leg’s defect, the emptiness of her right leg still made her abnormality apparent.

“Ivy Thompson!” Gillian hurried over in a panic, grabbing Molly’s clothes, and anxiously said, “Could you please persuade Dad to let go? Don’t take away my credit card, I beg you!”

After being kicked out of the hospital, Gillian finally realized the horror of being penniless.

Before, no matter how outrageous her behavior, the Thompson family would at least take care of her leg because of her status as their adopted daughter.

But now, the one who gave up on her was Daniel Thompson, and without money, she wouldn’t be able to treat her leg.

She was afraid, afraid that she would never be able to stand up again.

Molly’s cuffs were tightly held by Gillian, and Molly frowned, pried her hand away, and retreated indifferently.

“Gillian Thompson, I don’t have a deep relationship with Daniel Thompson, and I can’t manage the credit card issue.”

Although she didn’t know the whole story, she could guess the outcome – Daniel Thompson and Gillian had completely fallen out, and that’s why he stopped her credit card.

Gillian had no choice but to come to Molly for help.

“You shouldn’t have come to me. You should go to Daniel Thompson, or at worst go to Nicholas Thompson. That would be better than finding me.” Molly’s cold smile showed no sympathy.

She had no interest in why Gillian’s leg was like that, but since even Daniel had given up on her, it must have been for a very hateful reason.

“I tried ” Gillian gritted her teeth, her tears “patter” falling, “No use, they won’t help me, they want me to come to you, saying only if you forgive me.”

“Ivy, I know I’ve done wrong before, but I regret it now, I’ve repented, can you please give me another chance, plead for me? No matter what, I’ve contributed to the Thompson family, and when you weren’t in the Thompson family, it was me who stayed by their side and acted filial. Please, give me a way out! I can’t live without my leg ” Gillian cried like a pear blossom in the rain, looking truly heartbroken.

Her cries were so loud, each word accusing, that passersby outside the store couldn’t help but crowd in to watch.

The waiters in the store hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, and they were breaking out in cold sweat.

Their store specialized in selling gifts, which were all about celebration. Having a disabled person crying in the store was clearly bringing bad luck!

One of them rushed to make eye contact with Molly.

Molly frowned, looking at Gillian’s shameless appearance, knowing what was going on. Gillian was determined to cling to her.

Whether Nicholas Thompson would help her or not, Gillian definitely didn’t want Molly to have an easy time.

Molly turned around and tried to walk out of the store quickly, but Gillian seemed to know what she was thinking, and with a forceful push, “clang,” the wheelchair fell, and Gillian also fell to the ground.

“Sister, you can’t treat me like this!”

Gillian cried so hard that she was gasping for air. Her amputated leg was completely exposed, and the amputation’s end looked desolate and eerie in the air.

Passersby habitually sympathized with the weak, and Gillian appeared to be the one to pity.

“Such a pretty girl lost her leg, how pitiful.”

“How can you treat a patient like this, especially your own sister?”

“People nowadays are really cruel, even to their own sisters. They are so ruthless that even a stranger wouldn’t be so heartless.”

People around started to point fingers at Molly.

Seeing this scene, a faint hint of triumph flashed in Gillian’s eyes.

She didn’t believe that Molly would ignore her while she was like this.
