Ole took a long moment to snap out of hus daze.
He truly hadn’t expected his fiancee to call off their engagement over something on the internet.
Seeing his stunned expression Lydia couldn’t help but ask, “Who called?”
“Marlene She’s breaking off the engagement
Lydia was momentarily dumbfounded. “Huh? How did this happen! There aren’t any intimate photos of you and Sienna online, are there?”
That was the best thing that came to her mind.
Ollir shook his head. “No”

a frowned in confusion. “Then why is she calling it off? It was Marlene who took a liking to you in the first place, and it was the Molina family that proposed the marriage.”
They had been together for over two years, and both families had originally planned for their wedding next year.

Only Leon and Joshua’s photos had been exposed

Lydu thought for a moment before uying. “No, I need to ask lien.“
The two families had always been on good term and had businnu ties

The call was quickly answered. “Marlene,” she greeted.

She added, “I know Leon, Joshua, and the adopted user were a bar out of line in those photos”
She then explained, “Bat Ollie was never that close with Sienna. Please don’t misunderstand”
There was a brief silence on the other end before Marlene fully spoke

“Since you mist on asking. I’ll be blunt. I do like Ollie, but we’ve been together for over two years, and he’s always kept me at arm i
“It’s true that he and Sienna weren’t as physically affectiociate as Leon and Joshua, but they wer still unitetturally close–so close that it didn’t seem hke a normal brother sister relationship
“Every time I sat down to talk with Ollie. Sienna would always find some excuse to call him away. Then, in front of me, she would taunt how much Other dosed on her and how important she was to him”
Marlene’stone grew angrier as she continued. “There were two times I nearly broke up with Ollie because of Siena

“Right at that moment, Sienna suddenly chatched her stomach and said she was having severe pain. Without hesitation, Ollie rushed to support her and took her to the hospital leaving me humiliated in front of all my friends”
Marlene then asked sharply. “Tydia, if it were you, what would you think? Do you really believe these are just coincidence
“Every time something important happens, Sienna finds a way to call my fance away. To those who don’t know better, they’d think she was his
“And she is it that Phoebe never acted like that? She’s also an adopted sister, but she never tried to monopolize Ollie. In fact, when I had stomach problems. Phoebe personally made herbal medicine for me. I got along just fine with Planebe, Int with Siennat I’imposible”
Lydia asked. “Why couldn’t you get.

She had even med jo reason with Ollie, urging him to recognize who his real sister was
Phoebe had a much more likabile personality than Sienna.
In private, she and Thoebe actually got along well
Hat Spennat Their personalities completely clashed.
At first. Marlene had tried to get along with her, thinking that since Ollie cherished Sienna so much, she should make an effort too
That she quickly realized–Sienna was the perfect blend of a white lotus and a green tea schemer.
Every time she was around, she would flaunt her closeness with Ollie
She would make sure to highlight just how much Ollie adored her, how much he indulged her, as if to emphasize that Marlene–the actual fiancée — was insignifican

That was why their relationship was always so tense
Sienna walk all over her
And yet, Lydia and Ollie had the audacity to be upset with her over it!
She had fought with Ollie countless times because of Sienna, making her seem peity.
But if Sienna had been more like Phoebe, she and Marlene could have gotten along just line,
When she saw the online scandal, she felt absolutely disgusted.
Back when she visited the Jenkins estate, she had seen Sienna act intimately with the brothers, but not that intimately.
It meant that behind closed doors, things must have been even worse.
Leon, Joshua, and Janar were exposed–did she really believe Ollie and Cain weren’t the same!

Marlene saw no reason to keep a fiance who had ambiguous ties with his adopted sister.
She could just as easily toss Ollie aside like garbage too
So after discussing it with her parents, she had called Ollie to break off the engagement.
She hadn’t planned on saying much, but Lydia just had to call and press the issue.
Fine. If they wanted an explanation, she would lay it all out.
After all, the ones who should be ashamed weren’t her–it was their precious son and his clingy adopted sister.
Sure enough, when Lydia heard everything, her face darkened.
She had no idea that Sienna had been such a constant presence in Ollie and Marlene’s relationship
Tydia quickly defended. “I can guarantee that there’s nothing inappropriate between Ollie and Sienna.
She then tried to persuade her, “Marlene, I know you’re upset about the online scandal, but maybe you should think it over? Have you your parents?
Marlene didn’t hesitate. “I already did. They support my decision. So, I’m sorry. but this is final.”
