Charlie almost dropped the phone on his hand when he heard what Clark said. For a second, he was almost sure he heard him wrong.

What the hell was going on? Clark was going to propose to Amanda?

How the hell did this happen?

"Clark, you do know that Amanda is already engaged, right?"

Charlie asked as if testing the man's sanity. It took him a few seconds before he could say anything after his initial shock.

His head suddenly started to feel very light, as if he were going to faint. Suspicion filled him. He wondered what Clark's motive was. The man had never showed interest for his daughter before.

"Married couples get divorced all the time and Amanda isn't even married to Rufus yet. They're only engaged. This still gives me a chance to woo her,"

Clark replied nonchalantly and calmly. He did not seem to see Amanda's engagement as a hindrance to his plans.

"What?! What do you think of my daughter? She's not like everyone else. She's the pride and joy of the Ke family! Do you seriously think she will break off her engagement so easily?"

Charlie said, outraged. Clark's words were starting to offend him and his displeasure showed clearly on his face.

"Mr. Ke, it is common knowledge that Amanda's engagement is simply an arrangement to pacify her. Rufus doesn't love her. He doesn't want to be with her at all,"

Clark replied. He was not one to sugarcoat. His words were as raw and honest as they had to be. Besides, he was not dense. He was fully aware that Charlie was only using the engagement to block his wish. Of course, this was not about to happen that easily. 'Does this old man seriously think he can get in the way of my plans?' Clark thought humorously.

"Clark, let me be clear. Real engagement or not and whet

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I did no such thing!"

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

! Just...please don't marry me. I can never be a good wife for you!"

Of course, this was the truth. She could barely stand being in the same room with him, let alone marry him. Being his wife meant that she had to face him every day. Her life would become a living hell.

To her, Clark was like a demon. Just the thought of him made her shake with fear. She couldn't imagine how her life would become if she said yes to this man.

"That's so unfortunate. Are you sure you don't want to marry me? Do you really want your naked photos to appear on all the big websites tomorrow, Amanda, my dear famous pianist?"

Clark said as he lowered his head and whispered in Amanda's ear. His tone was gentle, as if he were saying the sweetest words to his beloved woman. In truth, he merely enjoyed his advantage over the fearful woman in front of him.

Amanda's eyes immediately widened in shock. She could already imagine the consequences if her naked photos were leaked.

Everyone who would see would judge her. Rumors and gossips would follow her whenever she went out. Despite her fame as a respected pianist, the photos would ruin her reputation and turn her into a joke.
