Chapter 272:
When he didn’t answer, Maia let out one last cold laugh, stood up, and walked away without a second look.
Vince watched her leave, his throat tight, unable to say a word. Her words still echoed in his mind. “How am I supposed to believe in your sincerity p>
The coffee had long since gone cold.
Vince slowly picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up to leave.
Outside the café, Brian opened the car door.
Noticing Vince’s dark mood, Brian hesitated but finally asked, “Sir, where to next p>
Vince leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes, and exhaled deeply. “Back to the office p>
There were still mountains of issues waiting for him at work, and the person behind the attacks on the Ward Group remained a mystery. But after talking to Maia, Vince felt more certain that the man she was with wasn’t the one causing the trouble.
Logically speaking, even if Maia had ended up with that man, she would have been nothing more than a lover, not a wife. No man would go to such lengths for just a lover.
Besides, Vince still wasn’t convinced that the man had the power to take on the Ward family. All of it had just been his own theory, which wasn’t necessarily true.
The car rolled smoothly down the street.
As night settled over the city, Vince noticed the bright lights of Radiant Jewels up ahead.
“Stop at Radiant Jewels,” Vince commanded suddenly.
Inside Radiant Jewels Boutique, the lights sparkled brightly, highlighting a selection of exclusive jewelry pieces that radiated elegance and high status.

As soon as Vince stepped inside, one of the clerks recognized him instantly. The clerk rushed over with excitement, saying, “Sir, how can I help you today? By the way, we’ve just released a limited edition of the Two Tied Hearts bracelet! We’ve added extra details and embellishments, making it even more luxurious. Your girlfriend will be thrilled with it p>
Vince looked at the bracelet, his expression darkening just a little. If Maia got this, she’d surely forgive him, wouldn’t she?
“Looks great. Wrap it up,” Vince said quietly.
The clerk smiled brightly and quickly replied, “Of course, sir p>
Brian, who typically managed Vince’s gift shopping, had already heard about the bracelet’s release and had an idea of how pricey it was. With the engagement party coming up, Brian couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Ward, this bracelet costs over two million dollars… Is it for Miss Rosanna Morgan’s engagement gift p>
Vince gave him a cold stare, immediately putting an end to the conversation.
“Stay out of it,” Vince snapped.
Brian quickly went quiet, thinking that Vince was probably preparing some big surprise for Rosanna at the engagement party.
After paying, Brian asked the clerk to keep the purchase under wraps. The clerk grinned and assured him, “Got it, sir. I won’t breathe a word p>
With that, Brian finally relaxed and drove Vince back to the office.
The day of the engagement party came around quickly. That evening, the live broadcast of the engagement ceremony kicked off, with fans flooding in to offer their best wishes.
The camera panned over the venue, which was stunningly decorated with sparkling crystal chandeliers and opulent furnishings. A deep red carpet ran from the entrance all the way into the grand banquet hall, with every detail shouting luxury and status.
Viewers online were in awe. “So this is what an engagement party in a wealthy family looks like!” they commented.
The scene changed.
