As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue burst into an uproar.
Chapter 176
“I think most people know that Mr. Lance of the Olson Group and I have been engaged since we were
kids…”
Chloe’s voice was slow and calm, seemingly relaxed, but with a hint of obvious sarcasm.
As she spoke, she seemed very interested in the screen on the table, looking down and tapping the
software with her fingers.
The huge screen behind her flickered with her operation.
Her casual demeanor didn’t seem out of place, as if she was just always such a laid–back person.
She could even call off an engagement, so what couldn’t she do?

officially started dating then, and it’s been almost eight years now…”
Up until now, Lance’s presence has been a constant in her life.
When she was bullied at school, he protected her.
When she wasnt focused on her studies, he pushed her to be her best.
When her mother left, he was the one by her side.
He was her emotional support when she was sad, and to be honest, Lance did play a role in getting her
where she is today.
He wasn’t all bad.
Chloe gave a bitter smile, feeling a little bitter in her heart.
She wasn’t distressed about her broken relationship with Lance.
She just couldn’t help but think-
How could their relationship end like this after such a long time?
Did she regret it?
Of course, she did.
Because not only was the eight–year romance gone, but she couldn’t have their decade–long
friendship back either!
Chloe took a deep breath, lifted her head, and slowly smiled.
Seeing that smile, Lance felt a wave of sadness.
The familiar anxiety put him at a loss.
Chloe paused for just a few seconds before continuing. Her hands were resting on both sides of the
console, and she smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Unfortunately, our relationship can’t go on. This engagement is a burden on both of us. So, I’m taking
this opportunity to announce the end of our engagement, to set him free and let myself go…”
The venue went quiet for a moment. A clamor of discussion followed.
Almost everyone turned their attention to Lance.
Lance felt a bit relieved, but more than that, he was…
His expression was complicated, his eyebrows furrowed, and everyone thought he was unhappy and
embarrassed after hearing the news.
The Olson Group was one of the top wealthy families in P City, and as a man of considerable worth,
how could he easily accept being dumped by a woman?
Grover and Lauretta next to him seemed unhappy too.
It appeared that the Olson family felt very awkward at the Summers‘ anniversary celebration tonight.
However, nobody knew that in fact, when Chloe announced the end of the engagement, both the
Summers and Olson families breathed a huge sigh of relief.
