Chapter 16: The engagement is off

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Catherine was sorting through her medical records in the tidy office.

As a socialite, she was very kind and hardworking, which was very endearing indeed.

I knew she was very understanding, so I said straightforwardly, “I am Ken’s girlfriend. I knew you didn’t like him, but I convinced his family and they decided to give you freedom.”

Catherine’s beautiful face was a little surprised, “Was that so? However, this engagement was set by my father. If he knew that I was going to break off the engagement, he would be very angry!”

In the comic, the female lead was shy from the beginning and would not disobey her father. However, with Ken’s encouragement, she gradually grew up and eventually became a world-renowned doctor.

However, Ken did not have any extra feelings for Catherine, so he would not encourage her at all.

I was the only one who could enlighten her now!

“You should have a lover, as far as I know. I saw the way you were in love when I was in the hospital. If you married Ken, you would not only hurt me but your lover would also be very sad.”

I pitifully wiped away my tears as if I was pleading with her.

These words were very useful on the kind Catherine.

A determined expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she said something filled with courage.

“You’re right! I really shouldn’t use my life as a price only because of my father’s vanity! I would go find my lover, and we would plead with father together!”

Catherine and her lover coaxed her father. Finally, her father wavered. However, he was still very hesitant.

I stood outside the door anxiously. I wanted nothing more than to rush up and persuade her father personally.

A pair of warm hands clasped my shoulders, and Ken moved closer to my ear. “You were so concerned about my matters. Could it be that you did not want to see me marry Catherine? If her father didn’t agree, would I still have to marry her?”

The thought of Catherine becoming Ken’s lawful wife and appearing in pairs with him made me feel uncomfortable for some reason.

I hummed lightly, “Since we agreed on a partnership, I would definitely help you fulfill your wish!”

After saying that, I walked straight to Catherine’s father. “Hello, Mr. Director. Catherine is an excellent doctor’s seedling. However, if you only used her as a tool for marriage, not only would you ruin her life, but you would also kill her happiness.”

“As a father, you should give Catherine freedom. As a doctor, you should let Catherine pursue her dreams and give her the rights to choose. You wouldn’t want your daughter to marry Ken only because he was powerful.”

The director felt guilty after hearing my words, but he was a little suspicious, “Who are you? Why are you interfering in our family’s affairs?”

I grabbed Ken’s arm and leaned on his shoulder. “Ken loves me. If you insisted on your daughter marrying him, she would only become a vase that would be neglected.”

I used both soft and tough tactics. The last line that sounded like a bad woman completely roused the director’s self-esteem.

“Hmph! Although Ken’s family is extremely wealthy, our family isn’t bad either. I wouldn’t go so far as to force my daughter to marry into your family. Since both of you aren’t willing, then let’s call off the engagement!”

When the director said this, Catherine revealed a pleasantly surprised smile.

When Ken and I were about to leave quietly, she suddenly rushed out and grabbed my hand.

I felt a little embarrassed and quickly apologized, “Were you angry with what I said about you?”
