Chapter 1248
Ronald frowned, realizing the Jarvis family didn't approve of the union? And Nathan had even met with other potential matches behind the scenes?
He seemed so polite and well-mannered, yet he was playing such games behind the scenes!
After getting into his car, Ronald instructed his people to dig into the Jarvis family's background.
He initially wanted to assess Nathan's character, but instead, he stumbled upon something far more intriguing.
"Mr. Malone, according to our current investigation, the culprit behind the car accident indeed was Nathan's father."
Kari's father had died in that car accident.
The driver had fled the scene.
The police had searched for a long time without success. It was Willa who, after asking around, found out that the Jarvis family had been near the scene of the accident. The Jarvis family had a lot of clout in H city, and Willa didn't dare to confront them.
Knowing full well that she couldn't fight a battle she couldn't win, especially with young Kari to think about, she couldn't let her daughter suffer!
Ronald couldn't believe his luck!
The Jarvis family's rejection of Kari, along with the hatred between them, could easily doom the marriage.
But... if Kari found out about this, how heartbroken would she be?
Ronald hesitated as he looked over the information he had gathered.
But before he could act, on the day of the wedding, Willa recognized Nathan's father and immediately called off the wedding.
Ronald couldn't bear to watch Kari marry someone else. He had intended to leave after giving his gift, but he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point! Kari and Nathan's wedding was cancelled.
Realizing something was wrong, Ronald hurried after her.
"Kari"
Kari was still in her wedding dress, staggering outside.
Ronald quickly caught up to her, lifting her into his arms, feeling her shivering all over. His heart ached as he tightened his grip around her waist and led her to his car. She was trembling all over.
Ronald took off his jacket and draped it over her, fastening her seatbelt.
"Let's go home."
"No, I want to go to my own home," Kari said, shivering.
She had just called off her wedding, looking absolutely distraught, her eyes red-rimmed, but refusing to shed a tear.
Ronald knew she was hurting.
To discover that the man she had been with for three to four years was the son of her father's killer!
Such a blow would be too much for anyone to bear.
"Alright."Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ronald reported the address, and the car started.
Kari leaned back in the soft seat, her expression distant, silent.
Ronald played the part of a supportive brother, staying by Kari's side the whole time.

"Bro, I'm going to head up.
Ronald's lips moved slightly, a
myriad of words wanting to escape, but in the end, he could only muster a few: "Kari, Willa and I are always here for you. Go get some rest, everything will be alright."
Just like when he was a child, every night after getting into a fight, he would tell himself.
It's okay, Ronald, everything will be better after a sleep.
After Kari went upstairs, Ronald didn't leave immediately. He waited until the light in her bedroom turned on. He stood outside for a long time before leaving.
The news of Kari's broken engagement spread like wildfire.
Everyone thought she would be devastated, but to their surprise, she showed up at the office the next day, working with a calm demeanor. Hearing the news, Ronald sighed, realizing the impact of the event was significant.
Ronald contacted Willa and got the keys to the house.
When Kari returned from the studio, it was as if she had shed her disguise, leaning against the door, silent for a long time.
Ronald stood in the kitchen, watching her cover her face and weep softly, his lips tightening.
After a while.
"Kari, you're back."
Kari jumped, wiping away her tears: "Bro, what are you doing here?"
