Chapter 72
“Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I’ve got a plan”
The second branch of the family grinned snugly, but the matriarch still looked doubtful,
With labels temperament, could she really agree so easily!
Tabel are you serious? Swear on it Old Mrs Galvez pressed.
“Of course. Grandina. I can’t stand seeing my mom suffer, so 111 agree. Besides, this engagement was originally Guinevere’s anyway. If you don’t believe me. I can call Blake right now and explain everything” Isabel replied casually, shrugging
Hannah and Samuel exchanged anxious glances, clearly puzzled by Isabel’s angle.
But the matriarch, now convinced, finally broke into a smile.
“Good girl You’re much more sensible than your parents,” she said, throwing a pointed look at Hannah and Samuel
Isabel took out her phone and sent a quick message on WhatsApp to Blake
[You free!]
In his office. Blake glanced at his phone and saw Isabel’s pizza avatar pop up.
His eyes lit up as he grabbed it immediately.
Holy crap, she texted first!!
I’m here, sweetheart Miss me! Cute/Cute]
Isabel sighed as the playful emojis, shaking her head.
He’s such a child sometimes.
I’m at the Galvez estate. Get here now]
Blake Yates: [On my way! Anything for you, babe!!
Jubel Clyde (Not the usual estate. Sending you the location.]
Just to be sure, she forwarded her location
Blake replied with a kiss emo and bolted out the door
Back at the estate, the tension in the room had eased slightly..
Old Mrs. Galvez even had a chair brought out for Hannah. Now, everyone waited for Blake to arrive
“Mom, is this real! Am I really marrying into the Yates family? Guinevere asked, she could hardly believe in this
The “cripple” she once dismissed was now healthy and back in the Yates family, and she deeply regretted ever giving him up to the main branch.
“Of course! Once Blake gets here, the engagement will go back to you, just like it was meant to be. Isabel has no business being in the Yates family,” Emily sand with a smirk.
Guinevere’s spirits soared.
She didn’t care much about Blake personally, but the Yates family’s global fortune!
That was a prize worth chasing. The Yates name alone was leagues algrad of the Galvez family
While they basked in their dreams, Hannah looked distressed.
“This engagement is cursed,” she muttered. “First, the Clyde famaly tried to steal it, and now our own relatives. Why does label always have to deal
with this?”
“It’s not up to them,” Samuel said calmly. “It’s up to Blake. If he doesn’t agree, what can they do? Let him handle it

she couldnt take her eyes off Blake. Across the room, label noticed Guinevere’s dreamy gate and imirked seriously! Pathetic…
Though she had to admit. Blake had only gotten more striking since has recovery. His sharp features, commanding presence, and ocean–blar were a combination few could match–even in Nollywood
Thomas Yates had inherited a touch of astocracy from his lineage, his mother was nobility, also giving Blake just the right hint of nobility
Everything about him from has elegant demeanor to his striking features, exuded refinement.

“Bake, welcome to our home she beamed before glancing meaningfully at Guinevere. “Guinevere, why don’t you bring Mr. Yates some tea
Guinevere, still dazed, sat frozen und her mother discreetly elbowed her.
Blake caught Isabel frosty look and her parents tense expressions. Something fell off

Blake turned to fabel, lowering Ins voice. “I something wrong?”
“You’ll ser,” she said flady.
Blake couldn’t help feeling wronged, he hadn’t done a thing!
When Guinevere returned, the offered him the tea with a shy, almist trembling smile. “Mr. Yates, your tea”
Blake accepted it with a polite nod. “Thank you”
Her heart practically burst..
So perfect, Wealthy, polar, and devastatingly handsome.
He’s everything.
The moment was cut short by Emily, who cleared her throat. “Tabel, isn’t it time you explained everything?”

she couldn’t help admiring Blake’s looks, thinking if she were twenty years younger, she’d make a move herself!
Isabel turned toward h
her aunt, eyebrows raised. “Wow, you couldn’t wait, could your Fine” She turned back to Blake, her tone sharp.
“Why are you staring at me Blake asked, confused.
“Blake, here’s the deal. they think you’re with the wrong person. Apparently, the fiancee your family originally wanted was Guinevere,” she said. gesturing toward the girl beaming at him like he was the sun. “And they’d like me to return you
Blake blinked, silent for a moment, before the corners of his mouth twitched.
He almost laughed out loud.
So this was what he’d walked into.
When he was bedridden and discarded, none of these people even looked his way
But now! Suddenly, everyone wanted a claim.
Sensing his silence, the matriarch stepped in.
“Blake, you must understand, this was all a mix–up. The original arrangement was with Guinevere. Surely, it’s time to make things right?
