It took Reuben a long while to snap out of his thoughts. He hadn’t expected his fiancée to break off their engagement just because of something she saw online.
Seeing his expression, Salma couldn’t help but question him.
“Who called?” Reuben didn’t bother to hide anything from Salma.
“It was Valerie. She wants to break up with me,” he replied.
Salma was stunned for a moment. “Why would she do that?” she asked. “Are there intimate photos of you and Jodie circulating online?” That was the first thing that came to her mind.
“There weren’t any,” he uttered while shaking his head.
She was confused. “Then, why does she want to break up with you? It was Valerie who first showed interest in you, and her family was the one who proposed the marriage.” The two of them had been together for over two years, and both families had planned for them to get married next year.
Why would they break up all of a sudden? Reuben couldn’t understand either. “She scolded. me because of the online incident, and then she told me that she wanted to break up. But the online incident has nothing to do with me!”
The photos that went viral were of his second and third brothers, not him. The key point was that he and Jodie had never been as intimate as his brothers were with her.
Salma thought about the matter for a while. ‘No, I’m going to ask her about this,” she decided. The two families had always had a good relationship, and their companies had a partnership. as well. If her husband found out that their eldest son was being dumped, he would definitely be furious.
So, she called Valerie. Soon, someone picked up on the other end.
“Mrs. Gray!” Valerie tried to make her voice sound gentle and affectionate.
“Valerie, I just heard from Reuben that you want to break up with him,” Salma uttered. “Did you two have a fight? If he made you unhappy, you can just tell me about it. I’ll deal with. him.”
“We didn’t fight. I just don’t want to be with him anymore,’ Valerie replied.
Salma furrowed her brows, “Can you tell me the reason? Regarding the online incident, Titus, Luca, and Jodie did cross the line. But Reuben has never been as intimate with Jodie as Titus and Luca were,” he explained.

Chapter 155 What Would You Think?
There was a moment of silence on Valerie’s end before she finally spoke.
“Since you insist on asking, then I’ll be straightforward with you, Mrs. Gray. I do like Reuben, but we’ve been together for over two years, and he has always been distant. Every time I carne to visit the Grays in the past, there was never any intimacy between him and Jodie like there was between Titus and Luca. But they were also very close, and it didn’t look like the typical relationship between siblings.
“Every time I sat down to talk with Reuben, Jodie would always find a way to interrupt us. And then, right in front of me, Reuben would show how much he adored her and how important she was to him,” she said with some anger in her tone. There were two occasions where I almost broke up with Reuben because of Jodie. One time, Lasked Reuben to accompany me to meet a close girlfriend. He agreed, and I made plans with my friend to meet at the Gray Family’s place and leave together with him. But Jodie deliberately fell down and pretended to be in pain right in front of Reuben Reuben immediately carried her to the hospital, leaving me alone to meet my friend. And in front of my friend, I had to come up with an excuse for Reuben’s sudden work emergency that caused him to cancel our plans”
This made Valerie angry. She had endured the previous two incidents because she genuinely liked Reuben and had high hopes for their relationship. After Simone was forced to leave the Gray Family, Valerie felt like Reuben and his siblings favored Jodie too much.
Every time Jodie was around. Jodie would show off how good her relationship with Reuben was. She would flaunt how much Reuben doted on and accommodated her needs. It was clear that Jodie wanted to emphasize the fact that Valerie, Reuben’s fiancee, wasn’t that
important to him.
