Chapter 3

Thinking of this, I sneered and spoke,

"Victoria, please make it clear to me. It was your male assistant who was blind and ran around in the crowd, knocking over my box. Inside was my mother's belongings, and they were broken!"

But before I could finish my words, she interrupted me impatiently.

"Okay, Ethan, I understand how you feel! I'll pay for whatever's in the box!"

"If it doesn't work, triple it! Consider it my compensation to you!"

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she thought I agreed and continued,

"As for the so-called Legacy Engagement between us, it was just a joke made by our elders a long time ago. Don't take it seriously."

"It's a different era now. What matters is matching up and integrating resources."

As she spoke, she approached me, her tone full of disdain and contempt.

"Look at what you are like now. You are just a clerk in a foreign research institute with a fixed salary."

"Not to mention the two million watch, even the clothes Blake is wearing, you have to save money for several months to afford it, right?"

"Do you think that with your status and family background, you are worthy of me, Victoria? Are you worthy of the position of the male head of the Kingsley Family?"

The surrounding discussions were once again in an uproar.

"What the hell, breaking off the engagement in front of me? This guy is actually Victoria's Legacy Engagement?"

"Oh my god, this is too big a melon. A real-life version of a wealthy man breaking off an engagement? Is it because the man's family is too ordinary?"

"Of course, no wonder Victoria doesn't like it. The difference is too big. The male assistant is wearing a watch worth more than two million. How pitiful!"

Blake stood behind Victoria, his eyes full of pride, provocation, and a hint of gloating.

The Arlington Family and the Kingsley Family are old friends, but they are involved in different fields.

As a confidential agent of NAI, my mother dedicated her entire life to the country and was no less wealthy than the Kingsley Family.

Otherwise, he would not have been awarded the priceless gift, Artemis Lunar Commemorative.

This time I was escorting my mother's belongings back to China with the intention of breaking off the engagement.

But at this moment, Victoria seemed to be extremely disgusted with me, as if she was afraid that I would pester her.

In that case, there is no need for me to protect her face.

Thinking of this, I sneered and slowly raised my head.

"Victoria is right, a watch worth only two million is really not worth mentioning! I'll pay for it!"

Victoria raised her eyebrows, and the expression on Blake's face froze instantly. The people around were even more stunned, thinking that I had been stimulated and had given up.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, I looked past Victoria and landed on Blake.

"Now, let's talk about you, the male assistant, who broke my things! How are you going to compensate me?"

Victoria sneered, her eyes fixed on the ordinary-looking black NASA-grade shockproof transport box at my feet.

"Just this pile of broken porcelain pieces?"

"Ethan, I know that the cancellation of the engagement is a bit of a blow to you, but be realistic, don't make a fuss here, and don't try to blackmail me!"

"Even if your box contains antiques, I can afford to pay for it if it breaks! Just name the amount, take the money, and leave immediately. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

I chuckled.

"Compensation? I'm afraid you can't afford it!"

Victoria seemed to have heard some shocking joke.

"I can't afford it?"

Even the bodyguards and Blake behind her sneered softly.

The people around me shook their heads, thinking that I had gone crazy because of the broken engagement, had completely lost my mind, and was talking nonsense.

"It's over, it's over, this guy is really crazy!"
