"Sorry for what?" Tell me what was wrong with you." Aiden asked in a cold voice. The man's gaze was cold, making Natali's body tremble with fear.

Natali didn't know how she should answer that question. Why didn't things go according to her plan? Why did her plan fail miserably? ​​

She planned to make Aiden appear to be having an affair with Anya. Thus, she, as a victim of the affair, was forced to cancel their engagement. That was her initial plan. The plan that she had arranged perfectly.

Who would have thought that her plan, which had originally gone smoothly, would suddenly fall apart?

She didn't expect Aiden to announce in front of everyone that he and Natali were just matchmaking on behalf of their family, while Anya was the woman he loved.

Aiden rarely appeared in public. But for the sake of Anya, his true love, he publicly announced that he chose to cancel the engagement and let his partnership with the Tedjasukmana company end. All that was only for Anya.

How could everyone fail to see the way that man defended the woman he loved? How could everyone not defend a man who loved a woman so much that he was willing to give up everything?

What about Natali?

Natali had to endure pain as her skin was burnt by hot water. She had to go to see several dermatologists and beauticians so that the scars didn't leave marks on her flawless skin.

Worse yet, she became the clown of the story. Everyone secretly laughed at her and insulted her. Everyone made fun of her because she was only used as a matchmaking tool by his parents. Not only that, Aiden didn't even want to accept her and just threw her away.

There wasn't a single person standing up for her…

Her reputation was ruined. Everyone now thought of her as an evil woman who trapped her own sister. Everyone thought of her as the woman who had been dumped by Aiden Atmajaya. Was there even a man who wanted to approach her after knowing all this? It wouldn't be a stretch to say no man would want to marry her!

Seeing Natali idle, Deny felt impatient. His body continued to writhe like a worm in hot ashes and his hands continued to sweat. He was afraid that Aiden was getting angry because Natali didn't say anything. He couldn't stay still! In the end, he decided to speak up.

"Aiden, Natali and Anya were sisters. They were siblings. Natali knows that Anya likes you, so she doesn't want to compete with her sister. Unfortunately, she chose to take such a childish act."

Anya looked at her father with disbelief. What nonsense was her father saying?! Since when was her father good at making up stories like this?

Aiden looked away then looked at Deny, "Am I asking you?" He interrupted Deny's words, making the man immediately shut his mouth tight.

Deny could feel Aiden's sharp gaze, making his whole body tremble under that gaze. His hands were getting sweatier so he tried to wipe the sweat off his shirt. He didn't dare make the slightest sound. In the end he decided to turn his gaze to Anya. He tried to ask Anya for help.

Seeing her father's gaze that landed on her, Anya felt both angry and helpless. On the one hand, she was annoyed that her father had only considered her existence at times like this, only when he needed her help. Since the first time they entered the house, did her father ever glance at her? Not a bit.

However, she still had the soft spot and wanted to help her father.

Still, what could she do? There was nothing she could do if Natali was not truly sincere and regretted what she had done.

She just shook her head, asking her father to be quiet and not try to defend Natali. All of this was for his own good. The more her father defended Natali, the angrier Aiden would be.

Natali had done wrong so she should admit her mistake and apologize sincerely, and quit pretending and defending herself like this.

However, it seemed like it was useless. Aiden looked angry and was lazy to hear the excuses coming out of their mouths. Everyone in this place was not stupid and could see that Natali was not sincere in apologizing. Even if she apologized a thousand times, Aiden would never be satisfied with her apology.

"I ... I ..." Natali stammered. She looked up and saw Aiden who was looking at her. Her heart was beating fast when she saw that gaze.

She was confused, 'Can Aiden see? If he could see, why did he usually pretend to be blind… But if he is blind, why does his gaze feel so sharp now? Those eyes look sharp and really scary!'

"Anya, please help your sister. Please help dad to resolve this situation. No matter what Natali has done, she is still your sister!" Deny tried to beg Anya.

Hearing her father continue to defend Natali, Anya could feel jealousy in her heart. Natali had done something wrong, but her father kept on defending her as if her mistake wasn't a big deal. How about her feeling as a victim? Didn't her father think about her feelings?

In the end, Anya only answered coldly, "If she has done something wrong and harmed others, can everything be done with just saying sorry? Especially if Natali said it without feeling and sincerity. She didn't even feel guilty at all. How could she be forgiven?"

The words were so sharp they seemed to be trying to stab Natali head-on and trying to bring her to her senses. But unlike Anya's expectation, her answer made her father glare at her. Her father opened his mouth and spoke without making a sound. He asked Anya to read his lips.

"Don't talk about things that are not important. Hurry and tell me how to make Aiden forgive Natali?" Her father whispered. Aiden was not blind. He could see all of this, but he pretended he did not and kept silent.

After reading Deny's lips, Anya's body stiffened. Disappointment radiated clearly on Anya's face, making her face look pale. Her father did not even try to understand her. Was her explanation still lacking?

Anya could not hold back the disappointment in her heart so she said in a slightly high tone, "I am the biggest victim in all this trouble. Why are you still defending Natali?"

Deny felt angry because Anya didn't want to help him. His daughter openly rejected his plea and talked back to him in front of Aiden, embarrassing him, "Anya! You…!"

However, before Deny could shout at Anya, Aiden suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Deny, do you already know that Natali wants to cancel her engagement to me?"

Deny was stunned when he heard this and immediately explained, "Aiden, you misunderstood. Natali has no intention of breaking her engagement to you. She still hasn't graduated, so she wants to get married after finishing school. However, it turns out that Anya also has feelings for you. These two sisters love each other. They don't want to compete with each other and cause this kind of misunderstanding." Deny explained this in a hurry.

Anya was really disappointed to hear her father's answer. Her father seemed to be a skilled storyteller now. She really didn't want to hear all this nonsense anymore.

Aiden raised his eyebrows when he heard Deny's answer. Then, he asked Anya in a mocking voice as if he wanted to insult Deny, "Anya, do you love your sister Natali?"

Anya looked at Natali who was still kneeling on the ground without the slightest pity and replied calmly, "I don't have a younger sister."
