Unscented-Chapter 220 - 162 No Engagement Ceremony Tonight

A complicated look flashed across Melissa’s eyes. She looked deeply at Murray and left.

Her footsteps were heavy and difficult to take.

Melissa walked out of the door in a daze. Nina was walking towards her. She panted and said, "Melissa, I have looked over there. I didn’t see Murray..."

"There’s no need to look for him," Melissa said coldly, her nails digging into her flesh.

The pain in her fingers spread throughout her body, but Melissa was unaware of it.

The pain in her heart was much more intense.

Seeing Melissa’s ugly face, Nina hurriedly asked with concern, "Melissa, what happened to you?"

"Nina, let’s go!" Melissa came back to her senses and pulled Nina to the road.

The taxi was still there. The driver went to the bathroom and just got back to the car.

Just as he was about to start the car, Melissa opened the door, got in the car, and said to the driver in a deep voice, "Go to the Empire Hotel.

The Empire Hotel was owned by the Gibson Corporation. It was also the place where the engagement ceremony was held tonight.

"Melissa, what happened? Did you find Murray?" Seeing Melissa’s appearance strange, Nina asked.

Melissa’s face was cold as she bit her lips and nodded.

"Where is he? Why isn’t he with you? Did he go to the Empire Hotel first?" Nina was very worried and her tone sounded anxious.

She had known Melissa for so long, but she had never seen her like this.

There must be something wrong.

Melissa closed her eyes and a mocking smile appeared on her face. "Tonight, there won’t be an engagement ceremony."

"What?" Nina was shocked.

Melissa took a deep breath and said indifferently, "I’ve decided to cancel the engagement with Murray. Tonight’s engagement ceremony will also be canceled."

"Cancel the engagement? Melissa, are you joking?" Nina asked in shock.

"Do I look like I’m joking?" Melissa laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Why?" Nina asked.

Melissa’s heart twitched violently. "Murray’s first love has returned. He has been missing for a whole day today to be with her."

"First love? Do you mean Lily is back? How could this be?" Nina’s tone was filled with disbelief.

She once heard Melissa talk about Lily and knew that Murray once loved a girl named Lily.

But Lily fell off the cliff and there was no news of her for so many years. Everyone thought that she was no longer in the world.

But on the engagement day of Murray and Melissa, Lily suddenly appeared.

Nina didn’t know how to comfort Melissa, "Even if Lily comes back, Murray might not choose her. Melissa, don’t be like this. You have to talk with him."

"Murray’s action has explained everything. Why should I ruin his joy?" Melissa narrowed her beautiful eyes, her tone a bit bitter.

"But..." Nina knew Melissa’s personality. Melissa was a woman with independent opinions, self-esteem, and arrogance. No one could change what she decided.

Nina still wanted to say something, but Melissa interrupted her, "Nina, let me alone for a moment."

Melissa leaned back in her seat. The scene of Murray and Lily hugging each other reappeared in her mind. She couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard she tried.

Her heart sank bit by bit until it reached the bottom of the lake.

It felt cold and painful.

This was something that Melissa had never felt before.

It was so painful that she almost suffocated.

However, no matter how painful it was, she had to endure it.

Right now, she had to be strong.

Since Lily had returned and Murray had chosen Lily, there was no need for tonight’s engagement ceremony to be held.

She had better bring up canceling the engagement instead of Murray.

She wanted everyone to know that she dumped Murray.

The Empire Hotel.

Guests gathered in the most luxurious banquet hall on the first floor and it was very lively.

What was going to be held today was the grand engagement ceremony of the Gibson Corporation’s president, Murray. All the famous people in Aldness had come to this grand ceremony.

Many reporters rushed over early, for fear that they missed the important news.

Everyone was looking forward to the engagement, except for Adela.

She stared hatefully at the stage at the front of the banquet hall. Murray and Melissa were about to hold an engagement ceremony there and receive everyone’s blessings.

Why would Murray’s fiancé be Melissa?

"Adela, don’t be angry. It’s just an engagement, not a marriage." Julie felt Adela’s anger and quickly comforted her.

Adela took a deep breath. "You’re right. It’s just an engagement."

"That’s right. We will find a way to chase this bitch away!" Julie looked in Jaylin’s direction, immersed in her own thoughts.

Since Melissa and Murray were engaged, she wouldn’t pester Jaylin, right?

Time ticked by and everyone was present. But tonight’s couple Murray and Melissa were nowhere to be seen.

Marc was a little puzzled. He called Murray, but his phone was turned off. Melissa didn’t answer the phone call, either.

"Jose, get someone to look for Murray." Marc furrowed, feeling a little uneasy.

He understood his grandson. Murray was not a person not punctual.

Moreover, today was such an important day. He should have arrived long ago. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Why was he nowhere to be seen now? Why couldn’t he even be reached over the phone?

"Mr. Marc, don’t worry. He might have been delayed by something." Jose comforted Marc.

Sarah and Claire walked over in high heels.

"Dad, what is Murray doing?" Sarah had a dissatisfied expression.

Ever since Jim held a press conference and Sarah spoke up for him, Sarah’s position in the Gibson Corporation had plummeted.

Murray moved to the Moonlight Mansion and had not returned home for so many days.

"He’s your son. Why are you asking me?" Marc glanced at her indifferently.

Sarah was choked by Marc’s words and was about to say something when Claire pulled her hand.

"Grandpa, Murray is not someone who doesn’t know what’s important. I think he must be rushing over," Claire said sweetly, not forgetting to smear Melissa, "But what is Melissa doing? Murray’s phone is out of battery. Why doesn’t she answer the phone? She doesn’t know how to behave."

Marc was about to say something when he heard someone shout, "They’re coming!"

Someone shouted and everyone looked towards the door.

Melissa was dressed in a bright red dress. She got out of the taxi and was walking towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Seeing Melissa from afar, Marc heaved a sigh of relief. However, he immediately realized that something was weird.

Why was Melissa alone? Where was Murray?
