Chapter 220

Despite his high status and influence, Ray approached Javier with such kindness and humility that it left Javier

feeling both honored and a bit overwhelmed.

Javier propped himself up on the edge of the bed, leaning back against the headboard, his face a mix of surprise

and unease. "Ray, you're too kind. I'm really okay. | appreciate you coming all this way."

Ben chimed in, "We've brought a little something from the Fisher family. We hope you'll accept it."

Then, he handed Javier a debit card.

Thanks to Ray's friendly demeanor, Javier found it tough to hold onto any grievances he might have had against

the Fisher family. He smiled and took the card. "Thank you, | appreciate it."

"Javier," Ray continued, seeing that Javier had accepted their gesture, "there's actually another reason | returned

to Oak Lake."

Javier had a sense of what Ray was about to bring up, so he composed himself and listened closely.

"Your injury wasn't an accident," Ray said, "and I'm sure you know that. Joshua might have mentioned Ben's..."

Ray paused, wanting to say "illegitimate son," but stopped himself, realizing how harsh it sounded.

"Ben's other son, Chris," he finally said.

Javier's expression darkened slightly as he nodded.

"Chris's target is us," Ray explained, "and you've been caught up in this because of Allie's engagement with

Joshua. After much consideration, we've decided to call off the engagement."

Linda, standing nearby, was a bit taken aback by this news.

Javier had talked to her just last night about the decision to end the engagement with the Fisher family, but he

hadn't dared to bring it up due to Ray's influence. Unexpectedly, Ray had cto their doorstep today to cancel

the engagement himself.

This was something their family was hesitant to initiate, so having the Fisher family propose it was a relief.

From the moment Ray and his family walked in, Javier had mentally prepared himself for this. Hearing Ray's

words, he wasn't particularly surprised.

He nodded slightly, "Since you've brought it up, I'll be honest. I've been thinking the same. Please don't blame

me. So far, we have paid a steep price for this engagement."

Ray's expression was apologetic. "I understand."

Ben added, "It's the Fisher family that

you an apology. We'll let

you once the breakup publicly,

Wandle the press release, and

take full responsibility."

Rose handed Javier a document. "This is the prepared statement for the breakup.

Let us know if there's anything you'd like to add."

"Alright." Javier took the document and scanned through it.

After a few moments, he closed it. "There's nothing to add. Let's go with this."

Rose nodded. "That's good, the sooner you release it, the safer the Owens family will be."

Javier nodded, then gave Joshua a meaningful look. "Have you talked to Allison about this?"

"I have," Joshua replied, his Adam's apple bobbing nervously. "I told her I've fallen out of love to make her let go.

Please, helpby not revealing the truth to her."

Javier agreed in a firm voice.

"Well, Javier, rest up. We won't bother you any longer," Ray said.

"Thank you, safe travels." Javier turned to Linda. "Sarah, would you see them out?"

Linda nodded. "Of course."

Allison hadn't slept well the night before and was catching up on srest that afternoon.

She hadn't been asleep long when her phone started ringing off the hook.

Groggily, she opened her eyes and answered, "Hello?"

Sabrina's voice cthrough, excited and urgent. "Oh my God, Allie! Have you seen Twitter? Joshua's caught up

in a scandal with a movie star! It's trending!"

The will be updated first on this website. Cback and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
