"We came here to break off Elio and Lauren's engagement," said Elio's father after a little small talk. Dad Ramos smiled slightly, squeezing the sofa a little, venting his current feelings. Actually, since they arrived, he had already guessed what they meant. Unlike Dad Ramos
Looking calm on the outside, Mom Diandra was worried.
She was concerned about Auren's future if the wedding was canceled.
"Elio," Mom Diandra looked at Auren's lover. The man, who had been looking down since he arrived, lifted his face. "Is this your decision, or
your parents?" She still hoped that if this wasn't Elio's will, it was just the insistence of his parents.
"It's our mutual decision," he replied.
Mom Elio was quick to respond. "Lauren's mistake was fatal,
Mrs. Diandra. If you were in our position, would you accept a daughter-in-law like Auren?"
Mom Diandra clutched her shirt. Her heart ached at her future son-in-law's blunt words. They had seemed so nice before, but it turned out they were immature in their thinking. They didn't even ask for clarification first.
From Auren's perspective, he immediately believed the video one hundred percent. Meanwhile, Elio remained silent, but his expression showed disappointment and sadness. He loved Auren deeply, and it was very difficult for him to cancel the wedding he had dreamed of. But he couldn't do anything when the two of them...
His parents and extended family forced him to cancel the wedding. Inside, not far from the living room, Auren sat on the floor, crying while hugging his knees. He could hear all the conversations in the living room. The concept of marriage was already
It was decided that even their post-wedding residence had been prepared by Elio. They had made so many plans for the future, but why did it turn out like this?
the ending.
"Don't you want to hear Auren's explanation?" said Mom Diandra.
"Before deciding this, don't you want to hear Auren's defense?"
"Self-defense?" Mom Elio smiled wryly. "How else can you defend yourself, by saying it's just someone who looks like him or that it's edited? We're not stupid, ma'am. We know which videos are real and which are edited. Auren not only cheated on her with her boss, but she also gave up her honor..."
"Let's end this conversation here," Dad Ramos interrupted, unwilling to hear anyone insult his daughter. He was sure that Auren was secretly listening to their conversation inside. He didn't want his daughter to be hurt.
"Both families have agreed that the engagement will be canceled."
"Dad," Mom Diandra looked sadly at her husband. She still hoped that this could be discussed again and that the marriage would not be canceled.
"Since there's nothing left to discuss, please go home," Dad Ramos stood up and stretched his arms toward the door. "Oh my," Mom Elio smiled.
sour. "They're the ones who are wrong,
why are they the ones who are more aggressive?"
"I apologize if my words seem harsh or hurt your feelings," said Dad Ramos.
"I just feel that if something has been agreed upon, there is no need to prolong it if it ends up hurting both parties. You want to break off this engagement, right?
Yes, we agree.
Dad Elio stood up and took his wife's arm. "Let's go home, Mom."
"They are so arrogant, they are wrong but they won't apologize."
Mom Elio grumbled as she stood up.
"Just wait and see, which man would want his child?"
"Mom," Elio didn't like what his mother said.
"Watch your language," Dad Ramos shot him a stern look.
hatred towards Mom Elio. "My son will find happiness. He will find a man who is better than your son."
"Ugh, who wants to watch porn videos?"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Dad Ramos snapped breathlessly. His palms were clenched tightly; if it had been a man talking, he would have beaten him up. "If you think you are a woman of dignity, then speak like a woman of dignity."
"Mom, let's go home," Elio insisted. Actually, he still loved her.
Auren, but she couldn't go through with the wedding. She didn't want her life to be forever linked to the Auren video. Where to put it?

"We're going home now, Mr. Ramos, Mrs. Diandra," said Elio's father. If his wife

"Wait!" shouted Auren, who suddenly appeared from inside. He walked over.
quickly toward Elio and his family. He opened his hand, which held the engagement ring, then
handed it to Elio. "Thanks for lending it to me for a while," Auren smiled even though her heart was crying.
"Take it, it's yours anyway," he said, desperately holding back tears as he looked at Auren. He loved that woman, but the wounds Auren had inflicted were also very deep. The woman he adored was sleeping with another man—nothing could be more painful than that.
Before coming here, he and his family had already decided not to
asking for back what had been given to Auren. Auren shook his head.
"I don't deserve this." Elio looked at his father. After getting a nod from the man, he took the ring from Auren's palm.
Auren sighed deeply when the ring slipped from his finger, and with it, his love. The love he had once been so proud of was gone.
The next day, Auren was shocked to receive an email from the company informing him that he had been dishonorably dismissed. It was all over. The career he had painstakingly built from scratch was destroyed in an instant.
"Mom," Auren muttered as she showed her mother the email from the company.
"I got fired," she said, tears welling up in her eyes again. The swelling in her eyes from crying the night before hadn't gone down yet, and now she had to cry again. Diandra immediately hugged Auren, gently rubbing her back. This situation meant she never left Auren's side, even accompanying her daughter to bed. There was a particular fear she had—she feared Auren might do something reckless, even take her own life. It wasn't that she was overthinking it, but rather because, in the past, when facing similar problems,
More like Auren, he once attempted suicide.
"Why did God give Auren such a heavy trial, Mom?" she asked between sobs. "Auren is not strong enough."
"Be strong, dear, you are strong. This trial is a sign that God loves you. God wants to raise your status, that's why you are being tested," Mom Diandra tried to encourage her daughter.
Mom, Dad, Andra, Anggun, everyone loves Auren, everyone supports him.
Auren. Be strong.
Meanwhile, at the office, Aries gathered the people who had been with him and Auren that night. He wanted to know who had gotten Auren drunk. Reno, Yuna, Marry, and Bani—the four of them looked nervous as they faced him.
Aries flew into a rage. "Confess, who gave Auren alcohol?" Aries stared intently.

shivering, and cold sweat pouring from his pores. Seeing
With that extraordinary expression, Aries immediately approached Yuna, standing about a meter in front of her, staring intently.
"You?" Aries clenched his fists tightly. Yuna was so scared she almost fainted.
"Speak up!" Aries snapped. "Did you give Auren alcohol?"
"It was me, sir. I was the one who

Not once, but Aries beat Reno to a pulp.
