I nodded perfunctorily to show that I was no longer angry and had forgiven him.

Anyway, after filming this scene, a press conference would be held in about a week. I knew, Arnold was planning to propose to me at the press conference.

By then, the planned departure could soon be realized.

Get ready for the shoot after getting my makeup done. The last scene was the female lead sinking into the lake.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the effect, the crew decided to shoot on location.

Unfortunately, on this day, I was on my period. I endured the discomfort and sank into the lake twice.

The director was still not satisfied.

The third time, under the influence of the cold water of the lake, my lower abdomen suddenly suffered severe pain.

After getting out of the water, my face was pale and my lips were blue.

The director suggested that the stunt double Laurent to act out the last three seconds of the scene where the character fell into the water.

Everyone knew that Arnold loved his girlfriend. He would definitely agree to this proposal. Strangely, he thought about it for a long time.

He turned around and said to the director, "Let Yvette do it. Just three seconds."

There was an uproar at the scene and everyone's face was filled with surprise.

I was in so much pain that my face turned pale. Hearing what he said, I lifted my head and gave him a deep glance.

He hurriedly pulled me aside to explain. "Yvette, Laurent, she's still in her period, she can't leave the roots of her illness, so ...."

I ignored his words, took off the coat wrapped around my body and shouted at the director.

"It's okay, keep filming ...."

Before I could finish my words, a coat with the scent of agarwood was wrapped around me.

"Why are you forcing yourself to keep filming? Go find a stand-in."

The sudden appearance of Armand Finch made everyone at the scene look sideways.

Armand, who wrapped me up, casually raised his eyes and looked at Arnold with a playful expression.

"Sorry, I can't see a beautiful woman falling into the water."

Seeing him, Arnold became more and more upset and walked straight to my side to protect me.

"This is my girlfriend, so I don't need you, an outsider, to worry about it. Also, I'm warning you, it's best not to meddle in other people's affairs."

"Your girlfriend? I'm an outsider?"

Armand's mouth curved into an inexplicable smile and he said, "My dear brother, you are still living in a dream."

Arnold could not understand the meaning of his words.

But I understood.

The last scene was over.

The press conference was coming up in a week.

I finally did not have to fall into the quagmire of Arnold's love triangle anymore.

On the day of the press conference.

Arnold appeared very nervous before going on stage.

He held my hand and said, "Yvette, I am really nervous and excited when I think about proposing to you soon. This is not a dream, right?"

I patted the back of his hand gently without saying a word.

I could not respond to him, because today was the day we parted ways.

On the location of the press conference.

The host pretended to be mysterious and said that there was still one big event today.

A glimmer of expectation appeared in Arnold's eyes and his whole heart was about to jump out of his chest. The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived and he felt like he was about to float up.

"Love Story" song was played at the right time.

A romantic spotlight fell on me and petals fell at the right time.

Arnold looked at me with deep affection, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Yvette, you said this movie is your lifelong dream. I want to say that marrying you is also my lifelong dream. Would you be willing to help me fulfill my dream?"

These words caused a burst of cheers from the stage and the atmosphere was instantly pushed to a climax.

Arnold knelt on one knee and raised the diamond ring. "Yvette, marry me!"

I stared at him quietly, but never said the "I do" that everyone was expecting.

The diamond ring he held high in his right hand never reached my hand.

Everyone looked at me in confusion and whispered to each other.

Arnold's heart suddenly sank and he quickly raised his head and looked at me.

But he found that my figure was stepping back step by step.

He was a little flustered. He cleared his throat to repeat his proposal. "Yvette, are you willing to ...."

"She's not willing!"

Arnold's words were interrupted forcefully by the man in the audience.

The sudden sound made everyone at the scene look around for the source.

Just when everyone was confused, I took the microphone and my voice echoed throughout the venue.

"I'm not willing."

"Because the person I'm going to marry is his brother, Armand Finch!"

A stone could cause a thousand ripples. This sentence caused an uproar among the audience.

"What's going on?"

"Damn! This trip was worth it!"

All kinds of doubtful and banter voices echoed one after another and the whole venue was in chaos.

Under Arnold's panicked gaze, I walked down the stairs and handed my hand to Armand who had been waiting with his hand reached out.

The song "Love Story" was reaching its climax at the scene.

But the proposed partner had changed.

Armand knelt down on one knee and put on the diamond ring he had prepared for me.

Proposal successful!

By the time everyone at the scene reacted, I had already followed Armand out.

There was a moment of silence in the air, followed by the sound of the crowd boiling.

"Oh my God! Shocking news! Wasn't it Arnold who's going to propose? Why did his brother suddenly show up?"

"Take a picture, take a picture quickly!"

Arnold, who had been standing there in a daze, finally reacted.

Anger broke through his fear and he instantly lost his mind and chased after me like a mad dog.

I watched helplessly as I threw away the bouquet in my hand without any reluctance.

At the entrance of the hall, I could hear my hearty laughter.

He could not believe it and almost collapsed as he questioned me loudly.

"Yvette, what do you want! Why are you doing this to me!"

I turned around and looked at Arnold who was extremely hurt and spoke with a chuckle.

"Arnold, you should go back and take care of your son instead of proposing to me here."

Upon hearing these words, his face was instantly devastated.

His legs and feet seemed to be nailed in place and he could not move forward even a single step.

"Y-Yvette, you already know?"
