His words caused a wave of uproar.
The crowd was still discussing among themselves in hushed tones a moment ago, at that moment, they could no longer care about their volume.
This was a dramatic turn of events!
Two minutes ago, Granny Lynch and Aura were still announcing the marriage date, two minutes later, Joshua came in carrying his daughter announcing the canceling of their marriage!
"Why would he cancel the marriage?" Malcolm smiled faintly. He looked at Joshua on the stage. "Hasn't he liked Aura for many years already?"
"A person would have a change of heart.” Luna sneered and looked at Joshua on stage.
"I have been with him for three years. He hated me so much he tried to kill me. Aura has been with him for almost five years, perhaps he’s gotten sick of her."
Actually, no matter what Joshua or Aura announced that day, Luna was not surprised.
They were heartless people. No matter what they did, i t was understandable.
"It's such a good show though."
Malcolm stretched his arms out and rested them on
the head of the couch behind Luna. He continued watching the events unfolding on stage.
On stage, Aura's face turned pale, then blushed, then pale once more. She bit her lips and said in hushed tones, "Joshua, are you not going to save me from the embarrassment? I am a public figure after all. You..."
Joshua chuckled lightly, "Since you're a public figure, you should not have played these dirty tricks.”
He bent down and whispered in her ears, "You're betting that I would save Granny from embarrassment, that's why you did all this behind my back. Do you think I'll accept it? I’m sorry, you were wrong, Aura."
Then, Joshua lifted his head and looked at the crowd arrogantly.
"Five years ago, I got engaged to Ms. Gibson. I'm sure everyone should be confused as to why I want to get engaged to my wife's sister after her passing.
"Since I'm calling off the engagement today, I'll explain it to all of you, to save you the trouble of speculating."
