“The runes on Mateo’s clothes are indeed worth millions,” I informed Henry, my tone casual.
“They are defensive runes carved by the strongest wizard. Regarding your statement about hiring a law enforcement team. If you really want to hire a law enforcement team, the outcome will be worse than just paying the money. “I am serious.”
Saying that I left the hospital and never allowed Henry to continue to use any of my resources.
My attitude was so clear that I assumed Mateo would have no mercy when asking for compensation.
Would they come up with the money? It was nothing to do with me.
Mateo had been busy planning our wedding in the days that followed, and all I wanted to do was go shopping and show my grandmother a wedding dress.
But Mateo insisted that his friend look his best, and that only the most lavish wedding would suffice.
I couldn’t understand his insistence on being the alpha heir, so I had to cooperate with him. Henry, on the other hand, called me every day to see when I was going back.
Maybe he noticed that I had been contacting him less and less recently, and that I was making it difficult to talk to him. Oh, he started asking me about the marking and wanted to arrange the time himself, but I didn’t need him anymore.
Every time he called, I said I was busy and hung up.
Busy times always flew by, and my wedding day to Mateo arrived in the blink of an eye.
I appeared at the wedding scene wearing a custom-made luxurious wedding gown, accompanied by the crowd’s exclamations.
A familiar voice came from behind me, surprising and alarming me.
“Ivy, didn’t you visit the next tribe to discuss the contract? Why are you here in a wedding dress?!”
Mateo approached me and enveloped me in his protective circle.
“Isn’t he the male wolf who attempted to sue me for extortion that day?” He asked me with a half-smile, “He used this questioning tone towards you; is he really not a friend?”
I looked at Mateo helplessly, knowing he had figured out Henry’s relationship with me.
Mateo stood out from Henry because he was extremely intelligent.
“If you need some entertainment, then look forward to his next funny performance,” I said to Mateo.
Henry rushed over to me, pointing at me angrily and saying, “Ivy, don’t pretend you don’t know me! I wanted to ask you one last time!”
“Have you cheated? You clearly have me as your boyfriend, but do you dare to marry someone else in front of me? Are you deliberately treating me like a spare tyre, and you don’t want to marry me at all?”
I want to cry again; if exercising in a wedding gown wasn’t inconvenient, I would have slapped him.
This was the man I once wanted to marry, the man who was maliciously speculating about me for no apparent reason.
My mind was extremely calm; unlike before, when I would throw myself into his arms whenever he lightly criticised me.
“Backup? Henry, are you ashamed to admit that I treat you as a backup?”
“I agreed seven times to mark myself. “If you hadn’t abandoned me, you would be my groom now.”
