Chapter 3
The following day, the news about Thomas and me getting engaged was everywhere in the media.
The Froning Group’s stock went up because of it.
I stood by the window, looking down at everything inside the Froning Group, then lowered my gaze, lost in thought.
Even though Thomas and I have met, I can’t be careless.
In my past three lives, those three men loved me, but all of them were eventually taken in by Sienna. Can Thomas really keep his promises this time?
My father stood nearby, holding his phone and smiling broadly.
“Victoria, the Patnick family sent the details for the engagement ceremony.”
He gave me a pretty gift box with a letter on top, written by hand.
Inside was a delicate Bluemoon crystal necklace.
I opened the letter and saw Thomas’s neat, bold handwriting.
My heart skipped a beat, and I carefully put the letter away.
Suddenly, a phone call broke my thoughts.
“Ms. Froning, someone is here to see you,” said the hotel front desk.
I walked into the lobby and saw those three familiar people.

Rowan’s eyes were cold. “Do you really want to marry that demon?”
I turned to leave, but Arthur grabbed my wrist and said, “Don’t leave so fast.”
“Let go! We have nothing left to say,” I said, pulling my hand free.
Maverick gave a cold laugh.
“We came here just to warn you that your fiancé is now bewitched by another woman.
Sienna? She was the first name that came to my mind.
“What do you mean?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.
Maverick said casually, “My college classmate Sienna Adelson is now working as the marketing consultant for the Patnick family and spends a lot of time alone with Thomas.”
Rowan whispered in my ear, “I heard she dresses very attractively, and Thomas really likes it.”
I pushed them away and left the hotel.
When I got home, I quickly looked into Sienna’s background.
Sure enough, she had joined the Patnick Group and was appointed by the board of directors.
I called Thomas, but his assistant answered.
“Ms. Froning, Mr. Patniek has been very busy with work lately. He’s not available to meet you at the moment.”
I thought to myself, biting my lip to hold back tears.

With the engagement coming soon, I couldn’t stop myself from going to the Patnick Group to see him personally.
Late at night, only the top floor of the Patnick Group was still glowing with light.
I quietly took the elevator to the upper floor.
Right as I stepped out, I heard a woman laughing softly from the office.
“Mr. Patnick, you’re way too tense. Relax a bit. You’re hurting me there…”
After three lifetimes, I recognized that voice as Sienna’s.
Peeking through the slightly open door, I saw Sienna leaning against Thomas–their posture intimate.
She grabbed his thin hand and placed it on her slim waist, whispering with her red lips, “What’s so special about Victoria? I can offer you just as much…”
Sienna’s chest pressed closer and closer. “You’re not married yet, so there’s still time to change everything.”
When Thomas didn’t react, she pulled out her phone and said, “Look at this, what do you think?”
I couldn’t make out what was on the screen, but Thomas’s face turned very conflicted.
I quickly pushed the door open.

“Did I interrupt?” I asked, trying to stay calm.
A proud look briefly flashed across Sienna’s face.

Ignoring her challenge, I stared at Thomas and said, “Is this what you’ve been up to?”
Sienna immediately put on a pitiful act. “Ms. Froning, please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Patnick and I are just…”
“That’s enough! That’s always how you start, every single time,” I cut her off.
Then I turned to Thomas and asked, “Are we still getting married or not?”
The office became completely silent.
Thomas exhaled slowly and gave me a look full of mixed feelings.
Sienna acted as if she were innocent and asked, “Mr. Patnick, after looking at these photos, do you still plan to marry Ms. Froning?”
