Chapter 51

Clarissa stumbled back, her face pale with shock. What did Seth mean by that? Was he really planning to call off their engagement for Layla? She had worked so hard to earn the title of Seth's fiancée, and the wedding was just around the corner. She wasn't about to lose everything so easily. Frantically, Clarissa pulled out her phone and called Jenna. The moment the call connected, she broke into tears. "Godmother." She sobbed, her voice trembling with desperation. "Layla hit me, and now, Seth says he wants to break off our engagement. I only did what I did for Benjamin's sake. Why can't anyone understand me?" She recounted the events, twisting the story to paint Layla as the villain. She accused Layla of seducing Seth and causing Benjamin's jealousy. Clarissa claimed she had only acted to defend Benjamin. Furious at the tale, Jenna spat out angrily, "Layla's really asking for trouble. Don't worry, Clarissa. Without my approval, Seth won't be breaking off the engagement."
