Chapter 173 Break the Engagement
"Who are you cursing at?" Ryan's expression soured as he grasped the implications of the accusation. He even raised his hand, as if to strike.
Grace looked at him disdainfully. "What? You want to hit me?"
Seeing Grace's expression, Ryan lowered his raised hand.
Kelly was crying on the surface, but in her heart, she was cursing Grace. She didn't realize the live stream was still on and continued her act.
"Ryan, don't curse at Grace."
"It's my fault, all of it, because I love Ryan too much. Grace, I just can't imagine my life without him. You have so much going for you, but Ryan is everything to me. He's my world; I can't bear the thought of losing him." cried Kelly.
"I'm talking to him. Who are you to interrupt? What right do you have to speak to me?" Grace's sharp gaze made Kelly's heart tighten.
Kelly hid behind Ryan and apologized pitifully, "I'm sorry."
Witnessing this, Ryan stepped in to shield Kelly. "Grace, don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far? Our engagement is still valid. Are you planning to continue your affair behind my back?"
Grace didn't even spare Kelly a glance and directly questioned Ryan.
Ryan's lips moved slightly, and as he glanced at the vulnerable Kelly, a hint of pity softened his expression.
"Grace, why can't you see things from my perspective? You're being unreasonable. Just being my wife should be enough of a blessing for you. Don't fret, no matter how many other women there are, your place is secure," said Ryan.
Grace sneered, "So what you're saying is, even after we get married, you'll cheat countless times. Besides Kelly, there will be more women, right?"
Grace deliberately made Ryan's words more blunt, and the online viewers were now filled with anger.
[Who does this Ryan think he is? This is the first time I've seen someone so shameless.]
[Those who cursed Grace before must apologize. Grace is innocent. This Kelly is such a bitch; I'm so angry I could grind my teeth!]
[What kind of man is he? Talking about cheating so casually. It's revolting. Just listening to him makes me feel sick to my stomach.]
Ryan's face turned ashen. "Grace, do you have to make it sound so unpleasant? I didn't even want to marry you in the first place. Have you looked in the mirror? You're disgusting to look at."
"Fine, since you don't want to marry me, don't waste my time. Break the engagement, how about that?"
This was Grace's plan all along. Since Patrick could use public pressure to force her into marriage, she would use the same tactic to force Ryan to break the engagement.
"I..."
If it were before, Ryan would have immediately agreed to break the engagement without hesitation. But at this moment, he hesitated. He felt conflicted and didn't want to break the engagement.
"Grace, our families are already busy with the wedding preparations. Everything is in progress. You can't just say break the engagement and be done with it. How can you be so willful? Have you considered the consequences?"
Ryan blamed everything on Grace, accusing her of being unreasonable.
"Ryan, are you out of your mind? You don't like me, you find me disgusting, you insult me and attack my appearance, you often curse at me, and you even try to hit me. Your mistress slanders me, but I haven't done anything. Why should I endure all this?" Grace retorted.
Ryan was speechless.
Grace continued, "What good would it do me to marry you? To witness your daily infidelities, or to raise your illegitimate children? Or to see you with a string of mistresses, all aiming at me?"
Grace summarized all of Ryan's actions in the simplest terms and then questioned him, "Are you the only one with dignity? Is my life not worth anything?"
Grace's words made the live stream audience extremely angry.
[My God, what a vile man. I feel sick.]
[The high society is so chaotic. Let Grace go. It seems like this mistress is trying to climb up by design. Grace did nothing wrong.]
[If I were Grace, I might have jumped off a building by now.]
[These people are disgusting. This man cheats and even brings his mistress to his fiancée's house to cause trouble!]
[The mistress is also a wretch. Look at her tone; it's disgusting. I want to curse them.]
This scene was also seen by Xavier at the Bameran villa. His eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a cold glint. With his instigation, Grace's live stream was extremely popular, now with millions of viewers.
Netizens were all discussing, cursing Ryan and Kelly.
"I..." Ryan couldn't say anything. He even felt that Grace made a lot of sense.
Kelly probably didn't expect Grace to be so formidable. She couldn't find any words to refute and could only tear up.
"Don't make it sound so harsh. I haven't even married you yet. How can it be called cheating?" Ryan countered.
"So you mean once you're married, you won't fool around anymore?" Grace asked.
"I can guarantee there will be no illegitimate children. Is that okay?" Ryan spoke with a bit of guilt.
Grace couldn't believe Ryan could say something so shameless.
At that moment, Ryan's phone rang. Hastily retrieving it, he noticed it was Patrick calling. His heart skipped a beat. He couldn't afford to ignore Patrick's call.
"Dad."
As soon as he spoke, Patrick's roaring voice came through. "Ryan, get back here immediately!"
Ryan was scared out of his wits. It seemed Patrick already knew about this.
Without caring about Kelly, Ryan had no time for further words and swiftly departed.
"I'm coming back right away," replied Ryan.
"Ryan!" Kelly called out, but he seemed not to hear.
With Ryan gone, Kelly dropped her act. She no longer looked pitiful but rather arrogant. "Grace, do you think this will make Ryan break up with me? He loves me. You'll never have a chance."
Netizens were shocked.
[How can someone change faces so quickly?]
[It's like she's an award-winning actress with great acting skills.]
Grace scoffed, "Do you think Ryan is an idiot? You play a little trick and act pitiful, and he can't see through it?"
Kelly said, "So what? Ryan won't hold it against me. As long as I act cute, he'll come running to me."
Grace nodded in agreement. "That's true that all your tricks and schemes are used on men."
"Grace, you don't need to provoke me. It's not certain who will win between us. The one who marries Ryan will definitely be me!" Kelly said.
"Do you think Patrick won't know about today's events? Do you think he won't do anything? Or do you think he'll deal with you first?" Grace asked.
Mentioning Patrick, Kelly turned nervous.
"Don't be too happy too soon!" Kelly spat out harsh words and slammed the door as she left.
Grace shook her head with a smile. Kelly and Ryan were truly foolish.
She didn't even know how to break the engagement, but such a good opportunity had presented itself. Grace would definitely make good use of it.
Harnessing the power of the internet was no easy feat. She decided to reach out to Victor, who had a better grasp of online dynamics, to oversee its management and promotion.
This was entirely Ryan's fault. If the news spread rapidly, Grace might have an opportunity to call off the engagement.
Grace geared up to visit the Montgomery family and leverage this situation to suggest ending the engagement.
However, before that, Grace needed to address another pressing issue.
