This news naturally sent Cliff’s family into a frenzy, as everyone began criticizing Cliff and Arabella for their inappropriate behavior at their engagent party. Furthermore, the uncensored photo left everyone deeply disappointed with Arabella, who had always been sweet to Callum. Now they realized that Arabella had been pretending to Callum, while in fact, she had been secretly cheating on him.
As a result of this news becoming the number one trending topic on all social dia, the two lovers have been summoned to Cliff’s big family ho. Callum is actually quite relaxed about this situation, as he successfully set up the trap. Even Edith is curious about how Callum managed to pull off this evil act so flawlessly, considering Cliff and Arabella must have had nurous spies as well.
Kevin was so enraged by all the articles on social dia that the board of commissioners protested and demanded Cliff’s removal from the board. He threw his tablet violently on the table.
"Cliff, what are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"
Cliff swallowed nervously. "Dad, let explain everything to you!"
"There’s no need to explain! All the photos on social dia clearly show you and Arabella kissing! There’s even a video of you kissing in an elevator!"
Cliff’s gaze fell on his half-sister, who still looked relaxed. "Is this what you’re doing?"
Callum raised his right eyebrow. "What do you an? Why are you accusing so carelessly?"
Cliff laughed in annoyance, hitting the back of the sofa roughly. "This was definitely your plan to trap from the start! I know you spiked my drink last night."
"Do you have any proof that I am the culprit?"
"I will definitely find that evidence and bring it to my father! I will make sure you don’t deserve anything from my father!"
"I’m not stopping you from being confident now. But prepare yourself that you won’t get anything from your father."
Kevin slamd the table to stop his two sons’ argunt. "You’re so childish. Once this news gets out there, it’s undeniable!" His eyes sharpened on Arabella, who looked terrified. "I’m so disappointed in you, Arabella! I thought you were the perfect woman for Callum!"
Arabella rubbed her palms together, trembling. "Dad, please give another chance! I was wrong last night, actually. But I really didn’t do it on purpose!"
"If you didn’t do it on purpose, why didn’t you tell ?!" Callum snapped, his voice hoarse.
"Callum, I’m sorry. I actually didn’t know my drink was spiked."
Callum laughed awkwardly as he looked at the entire family. "You guys are all unreliable. I don’t care about the news anymore! Since everyone’s bullying Arabella now, I want to call off this engagent."
"Callum! Are you serious?"
"Since when did I want to play with you?!"
"I never played you!"
"Edith, will you forgive ? I want you to give another chance." Cliff rubbed his palms together as he knelt down.
Now it was Edith’s turn to seek revenge on Cliff for disappointing her twice. "Why did you do it, Cliff?"
"I really didn’t an to do it. Actually, last night was–"
"I don’t want to marry you."
Cliff furrowed his brows. "What? Why are you acting so cold all of a sudden?"
"I really hate a man who betrays ." Edith imdiately took her sling bag and then walked towards the backyard of this residence.
Cliff imdiately chased after her into the backyard. Callum and Arabella also followed the couple. Callum wanted to protect his fiancée, worried that sothing might happen between the couple if they got into a big fight.
Edith turned around and glared at Cliff angrily. Without hesitation, she slapped Cliff across the face so hard that his cheeks started to redden.
"I hate you so much, Cliff. I don’t want to give you another chance!"
"Edith, I’m pretty sure Callum set up!"
"I knew from the start that you married just to take advantage of so you could steal my twins."
"How cruel of you to slander ! I never thought like that!"
"Actually, I rember everything. You did this to once. That’s why I called off our engagent five years ago."
Now it was Cliff’s turn to be so shocked that his heart felt like it had been pricked by rose thorns. He swallowed nervously as he stared at his fiancée with a pleading expression.
"You seem to rember it wrong, Edith."
"I don’t want to look stupid in front of you anymore! I still rember you cheating on openly and then cursing out too!"
Cliff clenched his fists tightly as he stared at his stepsister, who seed increasingly relaxed. He no longer wanted to be so reserved with his fiancée. He wanted to use another tactic to further damage the couple’s relationship.
"Then what about you? Aren’t you just cheating on Callum?"
Edith laughed lightly, clapping her hands. "You’re such an idiot, Cliff. That’s why I didn’t want to marry you, actually."
"You better confess, Edith! You’re no different from !"
This ti Edith didn’t want to hide her relationship anymore. She walked up to her beloved fiancé, then embraced him warmly.
"No. I’m very different from you. I did it with Callum after we broke up. Besides, I love Callum."
Callum wasn’t about to leave his fiancée to her own devices. He kissed her temple briefly, looking at the couple with a smirk. "I also know the DNA test results were faked. Actually, I’ve had DNA tests since Erdin and Eliana were born. They’re my twins."
Edith actually didn’t suspect Callum had ever taken a DNA test before. The question is, why did Callum act as if he didn’t know anything? Had Callum been planning this all along, just to destroy Cliff and Arabella?
"Now it’s all over. I’m going to marry Edith soon."
"You’re crazy, Callum! Do you want to go against your mother’s wishes?!" Arabella snapped, gasping for breath.
"Why should I obey her wishes? I don’t want my life controlled anymore! I have Edith in my life now."
