As Miley’s expression grew increasingly troubled, Amya pressed on, “The young lady is the heiress to Blakely Group. Both Neville’s father and I approve of her. Eventually, our family will be Neville’s responsibility. Their union would not only strengthen ties but also make Blakely Group our steadfast ally. On the other hand, if Neville chooses you…”
Amya left the implication hanging, but Miley understood all too well.
She was acutely aware of the disparity between her background and Neville’s, recognizing her limited ability to assist him professionally.
Hence, when he mentioned being preoccupied with work, she could only ask him to take good care of himself.
“Furthermore, the girl’s father just informed me that she had a delightful evening with Neville and fell for him at first sight,”
Amya continued, her voice soft yet firm. “So I advise you to act wisely and distance yourself from my son. Please don’t force him into a difficult situation.”

Miley, her head bowed, intertwined her fingers under the table.
She yearned to challenge Amya’s assertions, to declare the depth of her and Neville’s love. However, when she spoke, her words were merely, “I understand.”
She realized the futility in trying to convince Amya of their love.
Moreover, Neville’s recent aloofness didn’t escape her notice, and she acknowledged this painful reality.
Maybe Neville kept his distance from her because he wanted her to take the initiative to leave him.
Perhaps he preferred someone of a similar social standing. Most importantly, they had the support of their parents.
Amya, scrutinizing Miley, added icily, “I’m not unreasonable. You’ve invested time and emotion in this relationship. How much would it take to compensate for your loss during this time?”
Shocked and humiliated by the offer of money, Miley stood up, her emotions boiling over.
“Our relationship was a mutual choice. I have no interest in Neville’s wealth!” she declared, then grabbed her bag and stormed out of the cafe, tears blurring her vision, oblivious to the stares of others.
She ran aimlessly, only stopping when her breath was ragged and tears choked her.

The city was still alive, its neon lights shimmering against the flow of traffic, but Miley felt utterly lost. She questioned the authenticity of her relationship with Neville.
Was everything they had shared just a fleeting novelty?
Was what she had done for the relationship just a joke?
At Prosper Bay, Stella, who was sleeping, answered Miley’s call.
Through sobs and gasps, Miley’s voice came through. “Stella… Stella, come out and talk to me. I’m so sad…”
Stella was jolted awake. Flicking on the light, she sat bolt upright in bed and inquired with concern, “Miley, what’s wrong?”
She couldn’t recall Miley ever weeping this uncontrollably before.
Clearly, something significant had transpired.
