Marley didn't expect this to happen. He was so disappointed with his son, who stood with Drake and Sophia and acted against his family.
"Cecelia, it's not that serious. Don't worry!"
Just after that, several nurses came over and whispered when they passed by their door, "That's Cecelia who wanted to commit suicide in the hospital. Mr. Riley abandoned her. She asked for it."
Cecelia's face went pale.
Marley roared. "What are you talking about, stop!"
The nurses ran away quickly.
Marley wanted to chase them but they had long gone.
He was pissed off!
When he came back, worried about Cecelia's mental state, he hurried over. "Cecelia, Cecelia!"
Cecelia cried and showed Marley her phone. "Dad, Drake is too cruel. He has posted on the Internet, saying that he would never marry me. How can he treat me like this?"
Marley took the phone over. The more he looked at the news, the worse he looked.
Canceling the engagement should be enough. How could Drake go so far? He was humiliating the Price family!
...
The cancellation of the engagement of Drake to Cecelia caused a sensation all over the world in an instant.
It had only been a week since the engagement, but Drake canceled it decisively.
What did the Price family do to make Drake so cruel?
The Old Riley was very angry when he learned about this.
Although he didn't like Cecelia very much, how could Drake do such an ungrateful thing after Cecelia saved him?
The Old Riley was going to ask Drake to come back, but Drake came back on his own.
Olivia felt disturbed the whole time. She had a hunch that something was going to happen.
Roman asked in a low voice, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. I'm very nervous."
"Are you worried that Drake might know about our alliance with the Price family?"
Drake was so smart. Nothing can be kept from him for long. Olivia was clear about that.
Just as Olivia was about to speak, Drake walked in.
He threw her a cold look, then walked straight up to the Old Riley and called out respectfully. "Grandpa!"
"Don't call me grandpa! Look at what you've done! What if the Price family put the blame on us? What will people all over the world think of us?"
Drake was not surprised by the Old Riley's attitude. After all, what happened at that time was indeed unexpected.
"Grandpa, you should believe that I did this for a reason."
The Old Riley was not stupid. He thought for a while and asked, "You mean that the Price family did this for a reason?"
"I was in the hospital before I came here. They have admitted it indirectly."
"It's too much! How dare the Price family do this to you? Drake, what are you going to do?"
Thinking that the Prices may put Drake in a car accident on purpose and pretend to be good people, the Old Riley was pissed off
"I forgive them for Flynn's sake. But if they dare to do anything further, I won't be merciful again."
The Old Riley said angrily. "You shouldn't have forgiven them. You were lucky, but what if you weren't?"
"If I died, someone would be happy." As he said that, Drake glanced at Olivia.
Olivia stood up quickly. "Drake, what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing!" Drake didn't want to explain.
The Old Riley also looked at Olivia.
He knew that Drake would not say such things for no reason.
Could it be that Olivia was also involved?
"Grandpa, Sophia saved me, and we have slept together. I want to woo her again. I know you don't like her, but I can tell you that Sophia's identity isn't as simple as it looks. She is totally good enough for me. In fact, I might not be good enough for her."
"What did you say?"
"I have never expressed my attitude on Sophia’s matter in front of you before. So, I am doing it now. I love Sophia. I want to be with her. No one can stop us. Therefore, Grandpa, I hope that you let go of the past and accept her."
"Of course, it doesn't matter whether you accept her. Anyway, she is the only person I am going to marry."
