Chapter 145 The Deal Ended

When Amber spoke, her eyes stayed glued to Dominic, carefully watching his expression. When she saw his

expression darkening, a flicker of satisfaction flashed through her.

Dominic laughed as though he had heard a joke, and there was disdain in his eyes. "You're right. Our families are

in business, and a marriage alliance between us would make sense. But I'm not Interested in going with the flow.

And let's be real-you're pushing for this marriage because you're in love with me. If you weren't, you wouldn't

care about this arrangement. Why lie to yourselt?" Amber was momentarily speechless. He wasn't wrong. If she

didn't genuinely like him, she wouldn't have cared about this marriage alliance. She wouldn't bother agreeing to

marry someone she didn't know or love just for the sake of her family. Herralk of an alliance was nothing more

than a convenient excuse. It was the only reason she had to try and persuade him to marry her.

Not wanting to lose her last shred of dignity, Amber chose not to continue the conversation. She stood up as she

tried to maintain her composure.

Amber paused for a moment, her eyes reddening and brimming with unshed tears. However, she didn't look

back. She needed to leave before she lost control of her

emotions.

That night, Bella drove back to Miller Manor. As soon as she stepped through the front door, Sylvia stopped her.

Bella's heart skipped a beat. Could Amber have told Dominic about the birth control pills? She had been so

careful to stop tan from leaking the matter, but she hadn't anticipated that Amber would spill the beans
