The Rose that Cannot be Loved Chapter 1

It was said that Murray Owen, the influential person in Belton City, loved me deeply but couldn't be with me.

He had been secretly in love with me for over 20 years, but I never responded to him. Finally, I was forced to go abroad to reject his proposal.

However, I didn't think that it was true.

All the rumor was just spread by my friends.

Three years later, as I returned to my country, Murray was accompanied by a woman. She named Julia Brown, who looked like me.

My friends were shocked, and so was I.

I couldn't believe that he would find a person as my stand-in.

It was said that Murray Owen, the influential person in Belton City, loved me deeply but couldn't be with me.

My friends said that Murray and I, with similar family backgrounds, grew up together. I had been learning piano and dancing since childhood, so I met all the requirements for being his beloved one.

I tried to clarify it initially, but later, I realized they didn't listen to my explanation, so I had to give up.

Later, the rumors became more and more intense. I was described as the true love in Murray's heart, to the point where he couldn't live without me.

I felt helpless but believed that after I went abroad, their rumors would stop.

However, a week before I planned to return to my country, my friend told me that a woman accompanied Murray, and that woman looked similar to me.

Oh my!

I was shocked when I heard it.

At this time, I couldn't imagine what would happen after returning home.

By then, those people would definitely spread rumors and stir up trouble in my circle of friends.

I still had three days before I returned home.

Some of my friends had already started to discuss in the chat group.

[There are still three days until Pola returns to the country, and we'll have something good to watch!]

[Whether Pola, Murray's childhood sweetheart, is better, or Julia can keep him, let us wait and see how things will play out.]

[I bet that Pola is invincible. She wins just by standing there!]

While seeing their messages, I was speechless.

I couldn't understand it.

They were talking nonsense.
