Robert’s face turned ashen. He grabbed his friend and demanded, “What did you say? Who is Trudy engaged to?”
The friend stammered, “T–Trudy … the event is even being streaming right now. Wait! You really didn’t know?”

With a furious roar, Robert hurled a wine bottle at the screen. “Impossible! This is fake. Trudy would never leave me, let alone marry someone else!”
His friend’s girlfriend sneered at him. She did not like a person like Robert. “Why didn’t she?” she asked. “You’ve stood her up three times already. Each time it was canceled for Diana. Even the warmest heart turns cold eventually.”

Robert turned around and stormed out of the room. Diana trailed after him and called out, “Robbie! Where are you going?”

Before I could respond, Anthony pulled
Robert. “Robert, this is my engagement banquet with Trudy. Who do you think you
are, causing a scene here?”
