It read: Our son Jason Miller and your daughter Claire Hamilton are hereby bound in engagement, to wed when the girl turns twenty-four.
Viewers in the livestream, half-skeptical, immediately began cursing Claire.
“So what if you’re rich? A promise is a promise!”
“Because she’s a billionaire’s daughter, she can just call it off?”
The onlookers at the scene also began criticizing Claire for breaking her word.
“Didn’t think the Hamiltons would be so faithless.”
Stomping her foot in anger, Claire cursed, “You—you’re full of crap!”
Her admirers and companions fumed.
“You broke loser, waving a scrap of paper and claiming Claire is your wife?”
“Bastard, I think he’s just here to cause trouble—beat him!”
Most of them were spoiled rich kids, reckless and fearless. They all rushed at me.
I hurriedly slammed the door shut.
Now it was just the two of us alone in the room, the atmosphere tense.
Claire grew frightened, instinctively covering her chest. “Don’t… don’t you dare. That’s a crime!”
Outside, her companions shouted threats, pounded the door, and even warned they would call the police.
This was exactly what I wanted—the bigger the scene, the better for me!
I looked at Claire. “Miss Hamilton, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”
Her voice trembled. “If you won’t hurt me, then let me go!”
I shook my head with a bitter smile.
There were still three or four hours until the crime would occur. If I released her, my fiancée would accuse me again, and I’d face the same fate as before.
I still couldn’t figure out how she had obtained that surveillance video of me at the crime scene.
“Miss Hamilton, my name is Jason Miller. Don’t you remember me? This engagement was arranged by our grandfathers. Please take it seriously.”
I deliberately gave my name.
“Mr. Miller, you don’t seem like a bad person. If you need something from me, just tell me!”
As the billionaire’s daughter, Claire quickly calmed down, even trying to regain control.
“Or, if it’s money you want, name a price. Ten million dollars? Or… a hundred million? Five hundred million? As long as you let me go, I’ll agree.”
I sucked in a sharp breath. She really was rich! My monthly salary was barely a few thousand.
“Miss Hamilton, you misunderstand me.”
“I only want you to honor the childhood engagement. I’m not here for money.”
“And I’ve admired you for a long time. If you refuse, then I’ll have no choice but to force the matter.”
