Don't let a disagreement between you and me push you to say something rash . Apologize to James . He cares about you so much ; he'll forgive you for saying something in the heat of the moment . " Bianca then tugged on James's sleeve . " James , Emily only said that out of jealousy . It's partly my fault . Can you forgive her and stick to the engagement ?

" An apology is out of the question , " Emily said firmly . " How can you be so ungrateful and stubborn ? " Hayden snapped . " Look at yourself , then look at Bianca . If you could be even a fraction as sensible as Bianca , we wouldn't have this chaos . " " Exactly , Emily . We're giving you a chance to apologize because Bianca is kind and generous . Anyone else would have kicked you out by now , but we're tolerating you for Bianca's sake , " Finn chimed in . Emily laughed coldly inside . Even though the truth had come out , and she wasn't the one who hurt Bianca , but helped her , she was still seen as the villain because Bianca felt her reputation was at risk . Once a heart is biased , there's no straightening it . Finn turned to James . " James , I think Emily is doing this on purpose .

" James's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph , thinking : Of course, she couldn't bear to break up . " What's the matter ? Regretting it now ? " he sneered . Eli also breathed a sigh of relief . Hayden scoffed . " I knew it . This is just a ploy to use Bianca's kindness to speak for her . How could someone as shameless as her be serious ? James , you should stick to the breakup and not give her a chance to back out . " James's face turned cold , clearly agreeing with Hayden . Emily laughed coldly . " James , you and Bianca love making people apologize . You're a perfect match . I couldn't be happier to let you be together . Why would I regret it ? " " Then what do you want to say ? " James asked , his face darkening . Emily pulled out a necklace she had always kept close . It was cheap , but precious because of who gave it to her . Now , she threw it at James without hesitation . " To avoid any delays , let's break up now . This is the token you gave me . I'm returning it . Give me back the ring I gave you , and we can end this engagement right here and now .

Someone as unreasonable and complicated as you doesn't deserve to marry me . We'll break up . I don't have the ring with me today , but I'll have it sent to you as soon as I get back to the Smith Villa . " Emily thought for a moment , then nodded . " Alright . I trust the Smith family to keep their word . " She suddenly smiled and raised her phone . " Of course , I'm not worried..I recorded everything . " 214 8:47 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 6 " You ... you're something else ! " James couldn't believe she didn't trust him and even recorded their conversation .

Isn't that what you wanted ? " 90 " Emily ... " Bianca's eyes filled with tears , her voice choked . " I didn't realize you misunderstood me so deeply . I got close to James because of you .

James's expression changed slightly . He quickly held Bianca's hand . " It's not your fault . You don't have to do that . " He looked coldly at Emily .
