The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 727

As Sif's words left the atmosphere tense, Vicky—who had just gotten out of bed and washed up—strode down the spiral staircase.

Susan quickly changed the subject. "Oh, Vicky. Come here, sit—we were just discussing your engagement with Titus."

However, Vicky was scowling and raised a hand to stop her.

"I heard what you said," Vicky said, frowning as she turned to Sif. "I'm sorry to say this ahead of time, but my engagement to Titus Lionheart is called off with no grounds for negotiation."

Everyone froze at her words, none of them expecting Vicky to be so blunt.

Could there have been something they did not know?

Susan frowned as she demanded, "What are you saying, Vicky? Have you woken up fully yet? Why would a proper engagement be called off, and how could you decide on that alone?!"

"I know what I'm saying, Mom," Vicky said calmly. "It's a shame that Titus Lionheart and I are just not meant for each other."

Sif rose to her feet, her tone gradually hostile. "What is the meaning of this? Has my brother offended you in any way?"

"I mean nothing," Vicky retorted with equal pride, unflinching. "To sum it all up, I'm annulling this engagement!"

"You're what?!"

Vicky's words left everyone present stunned.

Not only did Vicky refuse to accept it, but she wanted to annul it too?!

That was nothing less than a slap to the Lionhearts' faces!

Nonetheless, Vicky continued calmly, "I understand I am unjustified in annulling the engagement, and I can apologize to Titus… And as a matter of fact, I already did. If you think it hurts the Lionheart's family, it can be arranged in a way where it's Lionhearts who annulled it—I will accept anything, even if it's in writing. One way or another, I'm not marrying Titus because I have no feelings for him."

Susan, who had kept throwing looks at Vicky, exclaimed, "Oh, why are you still throwing a fit even now? Love can be cultivated, don't you know?"

"Vicky Turnbull!" Sif bellowed, clearly furious. "Do you think you get to arrange and annul engagements with us Lionhearts on a whim?! What do you take us for?! The arranged marriage was always a mutual agreement between two families, and you don't get to have a say!"
