Back then, everything between them had been fine.
Hadn’t it?
Just then, a couple passed by, their voices drifting into the air.
“Come on, don’t be mad anymore,” the guy coaxed softly.
His girlfriend scoffed, flipping her hair. “Leave me alone.”
“You were obsessed with it, but you wouldn’t let me buy it for you. Then someone else grabbed it, and now you’re sulking. And what did you do? You settled for something you don’t even want. You’re only punishing yourself.”
The guy’s exasperated voice trailed off as the couple walked past, their conversation fading into the distance.
Percy stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
In that instant, everything became crystal clear.
That was it
Why was he making himself suffer over something he didn’t even want?
At the root of it all–it was a forced engagement. A business arrangement.
That was the real problem.
The realization hit him like a punch to the gut.
Without hesitation, he turned on his heel and strode away.
He went straight to Moore Enterprises, storming through the building until he reached his father’s office.
He knocked firmly.
“Come in.”
William’s deep voice came from inside.
Without missing a beat, Percy pushed the door open and stepped in.
William was sitting at his desk, his expression serious as he pored over a thick stack of documents.
Percy didn’t waste time on pleasantries.
“Dad, I want to call off the engagement.”
William’s hands froze mid–page.
He lifted his head slowly, staring at his son in disbelief.
“What did you just say?”
“I’ve thought it through. Having someone I truly care about by my side is what matters most. I don’t even like Yvonne. This engagement means nothing to me, and I don’t need it. I can build my own future without it.”
His expression was unwavering, his decision made.
“Utter nonsense!”
William slammed his hand against the desk before hurling the stack of documents across the room.

His face darkened with fury.

“You have the audacity to talk about breaking off the engagement? To say you can rely on your own abilities? What abilities?! The ability to humiliate yourself?! Check your damn phone–look at the news and the company’s stock price!!
A sharp comer of a page sliced across Percy’s cheek, leaving a thin, bleeding cut.
Stunned, he stood frozen.
He had never seen his father this angry before.
Heart pounding, he unlocked his phone.
And then, his breath caught.
His name was plastered all over the trending searches.
At the top–footage of him being dragged into a police car.
Right below it?
A clip of him passed out in a roadside flower bed, looking like a complete wreck.
“This spoiled rich brat thinks he can do whatever he wants who the hell does he think he is?!”
“And this guy is supposed to be a CEO? If this is what the wealthy elite looks like, we’re all doomed.”
