The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

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. Chere, 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 shthat Titus Lionheart and | 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.

So Vicky was the one who suggested it... but more importantly, why would Titus agree to it?!

However, Sif glowered as she snapped, "Know your place, Vicky Turnbull! You can annul the engagement all you

want, but you must remember who you're engaged with! You're behaving insolently to us Lionhearts!"

Susan quickly tried to mediate. "Don't jump the gun, Vicky. We can talk about this—just tell us what happened."

"Yeah, Vicky. You could at least let us know why, right?" Walter reasoned.

After all, the Lionhearts were one of the Four Families of Morhen.

The wind was in their sails, and they were not to be messed with, let alone disrespected. If their revered heir had

their engagement annulled, how great an insult would that be to his family and him personally?

If anything, marrying Titus was a dream many girls desired and a plan countless women racked their brains just

to formulate. After all, there was no way but up when an engagement tied a family to the Lionhearts!

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 | am unjustified in annulling the engagement, and | can

apologize to Titus... And as a matter of fact, | 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 | 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!"
