Dumped at My Own Engagement, I Became the Heiress He Could Never Reach

At the engagement banquet, during the exchange of tokens, Laurence Morton did it right in front of everyone.

He placed the Morton family heirloom jade pendant—the one that was supposed to belong to the bride—around his assistant Camille Harding's neck.

The guests exchanged uneasy glances, their eyes drifting toward me with pity.

Laurence pinched Camille's cheek, his tone careless and indulgent.

"It's not like you could produce anything of equal value anyway. Let's just skip this part."

"The poor girl's been having nightmares lately. The pendant will keep her safe and bring her peace."
