Edward Stephens looked at her, a trace of solemnity emerging in his deep-set brows. He was not a reticent or
indifferent man; on the contrary, the young master of the Stephens family was born with a smile. Even when he
wasn’t smiling, his thin lips naturally formed a slight curve, exuding an inherent charm and casual elegance.
But at this moment, the corners of his lips turned downwards, his thin lips tightly pressed together. That noble
and youthful face embodied an aura of authoritative presence typical of the Stephens family. Emily Ginger had
been with Edward Stephens for so long, had seen his gentle smile, but had never seen him look so cold and
aloof.
She felt a bit at a loss, not knowing what she did wrong, raising her face like a small animal, with a confused and
frightened expression.
Edward Stephens looked on, adding another layer to his resentment toward Daisy Ginger.
But things had cto this point; continuing his relationship with Emily Ginger was indeed impossible.
He said, "I have already filed for the annulment with the Ginger Residence."
Emily Ginger slightly trembled, and the small lunchbox in her hands fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The food she had carefully chosen for him scattered on the floor, the sauce spilling everywhere.
"Ed, Edward..." Emily Ginger whispered, trembling, "I don’t want to break up..."
Edward Stephens withdrew his gaze, saying indifferently, "I'll transfer the breakup fee to your account; your
mother will be satisfied with the amount."
Emily Ginger stood there, tears streaming from her eyes as she cried, "I truly love you."

He knew Emily Ginger approached him because of Abigail Perry's words, and he also knew Emily really liked him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the engagement.
Marriage, naturally, requires finding someone you love who loves you back.
But now, he was destined to owe her much.
Emily Ginger cried so hard she couldn't speak, her shoulders trembling. After a while, she finally stammered,
"Edward, | know it was wrong to approach you at first... but I really love you... I'll tell you everything, please
don’t be angry, okay? I'll tell you everything... | don’t want to break up..."
Edward Stephens slowly raised his

Edward's face, only to see his eyes
filled with gentle yet distant emotion.
He said, "I know everything. | won't blyou. This time, | was the one who wronged you first. You didn’t do
anything wrong; you don’t have to apologize to me."
He quickly withdrew his hand, stepped back, and leaned against the windowsill.

So he knew everything—she had been prompted by Abigail Perry to approach him, and her mother was
searching for other rich suitors for her. He knew it all.
