“No way!”
Cali hurried over to me, trying to explain.
“Lydia, don’t worry, let me handle this. I’ll make sure you get an explanation!”
She even gave Harrison a subtle look.
Harrison immediately understood, his demeanor shifting entirely. He took my hand, his tone softening as he explained.
“Lydia, you know I care about you and got impulsive. Please don’t be mad!”
These two had the audacity to exchange glances right in front of me, as if I was a fool. How could they still be acting at a time like this? Their shamelessness was laughable.
I fiddled with my phone, thinking I should play along just for the fun of it. With a tearful face, I shook off Harrison’s hand.
“Harrison, I don’t want things to be this way, but I don’t want you to carry any doubts. It’s better to check the surveillance and clear things up!”
“Otherwise, even if we get married, you might still think I’ve been unfaithful!”
Seeing that I wouldn’t let the surveillance go, Cali quickly tried to change the subject. She promised to investigate the footage for me and asked me to relax.
“Everyone’s here today; it’s rare for us to gather. Let’s not spoil the mood over this!”
She tried to brush it off, but her guilty expression didn’t escape my notice. Harrison, who had just been interrogating me, now stood silently, looking like a defeated soldier.
“Harrison, don’t you want to know the truth?”
Seeing I wouldn’t back down, Harrison stammered, “I…”
Cali quickly interrupted him.

“Lydia, as long as Harrison believes you, isn’t that enough? Why push so hard?
I found this absurd.
I was pushing too hard?
In my past life, my best friend and the man I loved for five years had plotted to kill me in a car accident, all for my shares, leaving me to die in a fire. When that plan failed in this life, they tried to humiliate me in public but failed again. Now, somehow, I was the villain for demanding the truth?
I patted Cali’s hand with unprecedented gentleness.
“Cali, what are you saying? We’re best friends! I know you only want what’s best for me!”
“But Harrison is my fiancé. This is about my lifelong happiness!”
“You wouldn’t want your best friend to marry in such a haze, right?”
Cali’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t find any words to respond. Seeing that I wouldn’t
Het this go, Harrison’s face darkened even more.
“Lydia, don’t be like this. I trust you; I know you wouldn’t betray me!”
Harrison finally softened his stance, and I could feel Cali also breathe a sigh of relief.
Watching their guilty expressions, I knew I couldn’t let them off so easily.
“Cali! Get me a blank piece of paper. I want to write a statement!“\
“It’s not that I don’t trust Harrison; I just don’t want this incident to be used against me
during some future argument!”
Harrison’s eyes reddened as he burst out in anger.
“Lydia, what’s wrong with you? Do you really think I’d hold this over you?”
I didn’t reply, just took the paper from the butler and quickly wrote out the statement, pressing my fingerprint next to my name.

“Harrison, don’t blame me for making a big deal out of this! I’m just looking out for our future.”
“This is my form of security. If you’re not willing, then let’s just call off the wedding tomorrow!”
With that, I got up, grabbed my bag, and prepared to leave. Seeing that I was serious, Harrison panicked.
“What nonsense! It’s just signing a paper; no need to cancel the wedding.”
“As long as I have you by my side, that’s all that matters!”
If this had happened in my past life, I would have been moved to tears by his words. But now, I saw through his facade. For the sake of my shares, he was willing to swallow his pride and play along.
