Chapter 123 It's None of My Business with Other Women
Susanna heard Maud's words, holding the same doubts. Wasn't today the day Aaron, that jerk, got engaged?
Just now, he told Elaine that she was her sister-in-law. Did he lose his mind?
Didn't he see Erica almost crying?
Today, Erica was wearing a wedding dress, looking so pure that she was almost like an angel. Didn't he see that?
As Susanna began to silently complain, she saw Aaron approaching her. She kept looking up at him until her neck went numb.
At this moment, she realized how tall he really was!
Aaron stood in front of her, with his slender eyes fixed on her.
Susanna's expression was somewhat awkward. She felt like he was looking at her in a strange way all over. What was wrong with him today?
Why was he looking at her like that?
Maud, unwilling to accept it, asked again, "Aaron, can you answer my question?"
Aaron furrowed his brow, a bit annoyed as if being disturbed, and replied, "What does it have to do with me and other women?"
"Aaron!" Erica shouted.
Feeling uncomfortable, Erica picked up her wedding dress and walked towards Aaron. "Aaron, today is our engagement day, did you forget?"
Aaron's thin lips tightened into a line.
Susanna stood by, glancing at Erica, and suddenly remembered her past self, who seemed to have been ignored by Aaron in the same way.
Looking at him, Susanna said, "Mr. Abbott, your fiancée is talking to you, didn't you hear?"
Aaron frowned. "She's not my fiancée!"
"You don't need to explain these things to me. Today's engagement was my design. I wish you a happy marriage."
Susanna took a few steps back, pretending to be casual. "By the way, after grandma's surgery at the end of the month, remember to visit the law firm. It should be time."
After saying that, Susanna left the place without looking back.
She didn't want to stay there for another moment.
Aaron watched her departing, unsure of what to say to make her stay.
Maud said, "Aaron, stop paying attention to Susanna. Today is your engagement day."
Maud couldn't wait for Susanna to leave quickly, not to disturb Aaron's engagement.
Aaron stood still for a while, then turned to look at Erica, with his gaze cold and indifferent.
Erica was happy for a moment, but her smile stiffened after seeing his expression. "Aaron, you seem upset?"
Maud uttered for Erica. "Aaron, how can you be upset? Erica waited for you for so long without getting upset!"
Aaron spoke expressionlessly, "Erica, let me ask you again, did you persuade Arthur to perform surgery on grandma?"
Erica hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit flustered. "Yes, who else could have done it if not me?"
In fact, she had doubts too, but quickly dismissed them. After all, she was also part of the Jones family. Arthur agreed to perform the surgery not just because of her, but who else could it be?
Aaron suddenly remembered Susanna's behavior just now. She didn't say anything, but reminded him to remember to file for divorce after the surgery!
Susanna was the truly heartless one!
He adjusted his tie and said, "Engagement canceled."
"Why?" Erica's expression changed abruptly.
Maud also chimed in, "Yes, Aaron, why are you canceling the wedding?"
Aaron remained indifferent, staring at Erica. "You knew what trick you had played deep down, Erica. This time, I won't argue with you for Arthur's sake."
Aaron left without another word.
Unwilling to accept it, Erica followed. "Aaron, I don't understand what you're saying. What trick did I play? I arranged for Arthur to perform surgery on Maria. That's it."
Aaron stopped, with his gaze icy. "But that's not what Arthur said."
Erica's footsteps froze in place, a huge panic spreading in her heart. What did he mean by that?
Did Arthur tell Aaron that he didn't come to perform surgery on Maria because of her? No wonder there was no one in the hall when she came down in her new outfit.
During that time, did Arthur say something to Aaron?
Erica couldn't understand. If it wasn't for herself, why would Arthur come to perform the surgery?
It couldn't be true!
Maud hurried over. "Erica, I'm sorry. I'll go back and talk to Aaron. Don't worry; today's engagement is final in my book."
Erica forced a smile. "Aunt Maud, I'll go change first."
Although she wanted to marry Aaron, being rejected on the spot made her feel embarrassed. After all, she was also the heiress of the Jones family, not just an ordinary person!
For some reason, Erica suddenly felt relieved.
After all, Edward said she had to sign the adoption termination contract if she married Aaron. But now that Aaron has canceled the engagement, did she still need to sign that contract for now?
A hint of darkness flashed in Erica's eyes. She had to find out what was going on.
Everything was going smoothly, but then something went wrong.

On the other side, Susanna arrived at the studio and looked at Dick. "Dick, let's go."
"Susanna, are you okay? I was really worried about you earlier." Dick answered quickly.
"I'm fine."
Susanna forced a smile. "But the order might have been in vain this time. I'll take the blame for the losses."
Dick consoled, "Susanna, don't say that. Our studio is like a big family; we move forward and retreat together. How could we let you bear all this alone?"
After saying that, Dick glanced over there. "But are you leaving now? Is the engagement ceremony not going to continue?"
"Whether the engagement ceremony continues or not is none of our concern. Dick, there's actually something I've been hiding from you. I have a bit of a personal grudge with Ms. Jones. She had me come over to design this engagement deliberately."
Dick knew he was onto something. Susanna must have ties with the Jones family. How else could she walk away unscathed after crossing Ms. Jones? Dick's smile became even more sincere, and he said gently, "I actually figured it out just now, but if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Okay, since you said you're leaving, I'll have everyone pack up and leave."
"Sorry, Dick. "Susanna apologized.
Susanna helped pack up with everyone, feeling a bit down.
After all, it was because of her that the studio was affected!
While carrying equipment, Susanna felt a pain in her foot and stumbled towards the other side.
"Susanna!"
"Be careful!"
Two men rushed towards Susanna at the same time.
