Maeve stood there, stunned. She thought, What on earth is this now?

Jaxen's face showed apparent guilt as he quickly grabbed Gwynn, seeing her about to step out. "Gwynnie, ignore

that mad woman. | don't even know her!"

"If you don't know her, why are you stoppingfrom going out" Gwynn snapped, angrily shaking off his hand.

"Td like to hear how she ended up pregnant with your child! She stormed out and opened the door, only to

freeze in shock when she saw a woman with a noticeably pregnant belly standing there, her intended

accusations suddenly stuck in her throat.

The pregnant woman glanced at Gwynn and let out a mocking laugh. "So, you're the clueless wealthy girl Jaxen

is marrying? | heard your family is so wealthy that marrying you would save him twenty years of hard work. No

wonder he's so hurried to kickaside and marry you!" "And who are you to him?" Gwynn asked, her face as

pale as a sheet,

Tm carrying his child-what do you think | am to him? The pregnant woman sneered as she spotted Jaxen trying

to avoid her in the background. "Miss Olson, how long have you been dating him?"

Gwynn's eyes were vacant as she answered instinctively. "Six years"

"Tve been with him for almost three years, the pregnant woman replied.

"That's impossible!" Gwynn stepped back, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Why is it impossible?" the pregnant woman mocked. Last year, on your birthday, when he told you he had to

work late at the office, he was with me. And earlier this year, we were on vacation together when he said he was

going abroad for business. Oh, and those pearl earrings he gave you? He bought them for me, but | didn't like

them, so he gave them to you instead."

She glanced at Gwynn's ears and added, "You're still wearing them."

"You're still wearing them. The words hit Gwynn like a heavy blow to the head. Shame, humiliation, and anger

surged within her, nearly making her faint

Maeve quickly caught her and said, "Miss Olson, stay calm."

Gwynn struggled to steady herself. The thought of how heartbroken her parents would be upon learning about

this made it hard to accept Jaxen's betrayal. She looked at the pregnant woman, whose face was full of mockery,

and said slowly and clearly, "Thank you for tellingall this."

The pregnant woman was taken aback for a moment but nodded slightly. While she had intended to vent her

frustrations. she also wanted Gwynn to know the truth. That was the greatest revenge against Jaxen.

Gwynn turned to look at Jaxen, who looked pale and averted her gaze. Gwynn let out a sorrowful laugh "My dad

was right. Love doesn't care about social status, but it won't end well if our values and beliefs don't align.

"Jaxen Horne, we're breaking off the engagement. Don't clooking foragain? With that, Gwynn decisively

turned and walked out.

"Wait, Gwynnie!" Jaxen was startled by her words about the engagement and hurried to follow her, but the

pregnant woman grabbed his arm tightly, "Don't go! You still owean explanation!"

Let go of me! You crazy woman Jaxen said.

To prevent the two from getting into a violent altercation, Maeve thoughtfully had someone separate them and

escort them out of the studio. What happened next as they sought to confront each other was no longer her

concern. After all, that 08:22 Fri, Nov 1

"Ms. Reese, it's no wonder that the elders say the best way to test man's sincerity is either outside the delivery

room or at a bridal shop," Paige leaned in, eager to gossip. "Men like him are the worst-climbing the social ladder

while still sneaking around behind your back. He deserves to be called off!"

Maeve nodded, then asked, "So a mismatch in social status will never lead to a good outcome?"

"Of course! When people from different social backgrounds ctogether, many issues exist, like money,

status, and differing values. It only gets saddler as tgoes on!" Paige replied. There are exceptions, but they

are rare. Maeve parsed her lips, realizing that she and Byron were likely a prexample of the former. Even if

two parallel lines crossed paths by chance, they would ultimately go their separate ways, growing further apart.

With Gwynn's wedding plans falling through, Maeve was uncertain whether to continue working on the wedding

dress she had ordered. Just before finishing work, she received a message from Gwynn. [Ms. Reese, thank you so

much for today. After discussing it with my parents, I've called off the engagement with the Horne family.

However, | will keep the wedding dress; I'm buying it myself this time.

Maeve: A wedding dress doesn't have to hold meaning only on the wedding day; as long as you like it, that's the

most significant. It should lead you toward a better future, not keep you stuck in the past.] After sending the m
