Enough was enough, and the tension between Ezra and Eleanor was about to spill over.
“Ezra, I get that things have been tough, but come on, be a man! You’re not seriously leaving me, a fragile lady, to
deal with everything on my own, right?” Eleanor huffed, displeased with Ezra.
“Whatever! I’m done with your drama. From now on, don’t bother finding me. And about our engagement, consider
it over!” Ezra declared with a cold tone.
“Over?” Eleanor widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe. “Ezra, are you joking? Are you aware of what you’re
saying?”
“Didn’t you catch that the first time? Let me spell it out-I want to call off the engagement!” Ezra raised his voice.
“Call off the engagement?” Eleanor was utterly baffled. She never expected him to say such a thing. Just the night

overnight.
“Ezra! Don’t be ridiculous!” Barry scolded. Even if they were to cut ties with the Welch family, there was no need to
publicly break off the engagement, turning it into an open feud.
“Mr. Swanson, is Ezra sick or something?” Eleanor cautiously asked. “I’m not sick! I’m perfectly fine!” Ezra snapped.
He couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Eleanor, I’ve put up with you for far too long. Do you even realize how insufferable you are? You’re spoiled, petty,
and easily jealous.
“Whenever you see a woman prettier or more talented than you, you go out of your way to tear her down. You’re
nothing but a toxic person!”
“You… How dare you insult me?” Eleanor was shocked and furious. No one had ever dared to humiliate her like this
and to make matters worse, it was her fiancé.
“Insult you? So what? I’m sick of playing along with your bullshit. Leave! “Ezra declared, showing no mercy.
“You insolent fool!” Eleanor seethed, landing a fierce slap on Ezra’s face.
“What the hell! You slapped me?” Ezra shot back, responding with a powerful slap that caused Eleanor to stagger
and fall.
Her once fair complexion quickly turned red and swollen from the impact.
“You … how dare you lay your hands on me?” Eleanor covered her cheek, looking both astonished and resentful.
No one had ever dared to raise a hand against her. 1
“Disgusting!” Ezra spat on the ground. “You think I’ll still tolerate your nonsense like before? I’ve woken up to reality.
I’m done playing the lapdog. If you try anything, I won’t hold back!”

“Ezra! I demand you to apologize immediately, or you’ll face warth of the Welch family!” Eleanor threatened him
with a stern voice.
Her family’s influence was greater than the Swanson family’s, giving her the confidence to make such a threat.
“Oh yeah? Bring it on! Do you think I’m afraid of you? I’d rather see the whole thing crumble than continue being
your lackey! Fish or cut bait!” Ezra roared.
“Ezra! You’ve gone too far!” Eleanor was furious, her face contorted with rage. She thought using intimidation
would make Ezra back down, but she was surprised to find him standing his ground, even ready to go against the
Welch family.
“Enough, Eleanor! Go back and tell your parents to return what they owe Dustin. Otherwise, the Welch family will
face a disaster soon! Now, get out!” Ezra ordered.
“Ezra Swansons! I’ll remember this and make you regret it!” The door slammed shut as Eleanor left, marking the
point of no return for both families.
