Chapter 947

• Simon took a deep breath, his face clouded with regret as he spoke. “When our families first arranged this engagement, Gracy was just a child. She was too young to understand, so I never told her. My only intention was to let her spend time with Mr. Harris, hoping they would naturally grow close. But as time went on, it became clear that they weren’t a good match—they would constantly argue and never got along. So, I chose to let things be, allowing them to remain friends instead.
• "Later, Gracy overheard someone mention that she was engaged, but she never knew who her fiancé was. She simply believed in staying loyal to the person she was meant to marry.
• "But then… I made a terrible mistake.” He closed his eyes briefly, his voice trembling. “I knew that Korra had arranged for her daughter to be engaged to someone from the Stone Family. Greed took over me. I wanted my granddaughter to marry President Gavin instead, so I led her to believe that her fiancé was him. From the very beginning, Gracy was deceived—by me.”
