Katelyn felt a surge of surprise.

The invitation she had received was from Lise, announcing her wedding to Neil.

Memories of Neil’s past wild behavior sent a chill through Katelyn, sparking a sharp glint in her eyes.

Even though Katelyn had sent Neil to a psychiatric hospital against his will, he still held considerable power in Yata.

He escaped the very night he arrived.

At the time, Katelyn had been too caught up in her own issues to follow up on it, so she was shocked to learn that he had returned home and was planning to marry Lise.

Along with the wedding invitation, Lise had sent a note that read, “Katelyn, I hope you can come to our wedding and share in my happiness.”

Katelyn’s lips twisted into a cold smile.

She would absolutely be there. N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on FιndＮovel.net

Additionally, Katelyn was planning a special gift for Lise. After all the time spent in Yata, it was indeed time to return.

Katelyn didn’t respond to the message. When she glanced up, she noticed Vincent had approached her.

Ryanna had quietly slipped away at some point.

“What’s wrong?” Vincent asked, noticing the flicker in Katelyn’s eyes.

“Not much, just got a wedding invitation from Lise, asking me to come,” Katelyn said, waving her phone casually. “I guess it’s time to head back.”

Vincent nodded in agreement. “I’ll have Samuel book the tickets.”

His last rushed trip back had been to deal with issues related to Holden, but there were still some internal company matters to take care of.

The overseas market could wait for now, since there was still time before the global exhibition.

As long as Katelyn’s designs performed well at the event, the rest could be handled later.

Even if they weren’t the main attraction, they would still bring valuable benefits and resources to the Adams family.

“Alright,” Katelyn said with a nod.

When they got back, Vincent informed the king that he planned to leave.

The king looked surprised and asked, “Why are you leaving so soon? Didn’t you agree to stay at the palace for a few more days?”

Vincent replied calmly, “I have some urgent matters to attend to with my company back home. I’ll return when I can.”

Even as a guest, Vincent’s presence was just as commanding as the king’s.

The king paused for a moment, still hoping to convince him to stay.

“But it’s not often you visit, and you haven’t even had the chance to experience Yata’s unique culture. Plus, there’s Ryanna…” the king said, his tone becoming more complicated as he remembered his daughter’s hopeful expression from earlier.

“She’s been waiting for you to arrive,” the king added.

Vincent furrowed his brows slightly and leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent. “I’ve said many times that I want to cancel our engagement. Princess Ryanna is a wonderful woman; she deserves someone better.” His words were polite but made it clear there was no room for further discussion.

The king sighed, but his tone sharpened as he locked eyes with Vincent.

“You need to understand what this marriage means. It’s not just about personal feelings,” the king insisted.

Vincent’s eyes turned cold as he replied calmly, “We don’t need a marriage to ensure cooperation. As long as both sides continue to meet each other’s needs, the partnership will last.”

The king’s expression darkened.

Ryanna was his cherished daughter and the future heir to the royal family.

While many men dreamed of marrying the princess, Vincent didn’t appreciate the opportunity and even suggested ending the engagement.

If this became known, it would seriously damage the royal family’s reputation.

In the past, the king had brushed off such discussions with a few casual remarks. But this time, he spoke seriously. “You need to understand that opportunities like this are rare. Not everyone gets the privilege of being a princess’s husband.”

His voice turned stern, reflecting his frustration.

Even though he had worked with the Adams family for years, it didn’t mean that the royal family’s military needs could only be fulfilled by them.

Vincent lightly drummed his fingers on the table, staying calm despite the king’s pressure.

“My decision is final, and Ryanna and I have already discussed it,” Vincent said.

The king was startled, disbelief flickering across his face. “Are you saying Ryanna also agreed to cancel the engagement?” he asked.

“Yes,” Vincent replied.

“That’s impossible. She would never agree to this. Even if she didn’t care about the family’s interests, she simply wouldn’t give up on the marriage. There must be some misunderstanding or something else going on,” the king quickly dismissed the idea.

The king knew his daughter well and understood how much Vincent meant to her.

“I’ll speak to her myself. If she doesn’t agree to cancel the engagement, then this discussion is over.”

Just as he finished, the door slowly opened, and someone walked in.
