Her mother, guessing what her daughter had experienced, consoled her briefly before carefully explaining
“Are you sure? Harper, the Mitchell family isn’t what it used to be. This arrangement nt a game. The Carters and the Coopers may be an ocean apart, but they’ve been enemies for generations.”
“Once you marry into the Carter family, they’ll likely demand you cut all ties with the Coopers.”
On the other end. Harper lowered her eyes.
Six years ago, the Mitchell family had expanded their business overseas and relocated there permanently
Shortly after moving they encountered financial difficulties, and the Carter family, also based overseas, repeatedly expressed interest in a marriage alliance.
But her parents, knowing she loved Finn, never considered sacrificing her happiness to save the company.
Now, she never wanted to see Finn again, and marrying into the Carter family seemed the perfect solution.
“Mom, I’ve decided. I never want to see Finn Cooper again in this lifetime.”
After a few seconds of silence, her mother replied, “Alright. Your father and I will discuss the arrangements with the Carters
tomorrow.”
Harper didn’t sleep all night.
The next morning, Finn hadn’t returned but sent a message.
“Babe, there’s an issue at the company. I’ll be away for three days.”
She didn’t reply and booked a flight leaving in seven days.
She began packing her belongings. Having lived with Finn for years, she had accumulated quite a lot. With the Mitchell family struggling financially, she listed valuable items for sale online.
In the evening, she received a notification from an unknown account.
“Hi- Harper-
When she opened it, the profile picture showed a positive pregnancy test, with the username “Serena Baby in Bliss.”
Serena had created this private account specifically to flaunt her pregnancy.
Not wanting to broadcast her pregnancy, she’d set up this account with Harper as her only friend.
A minute later, Serena shared a recent TikTok post–photos of Finn accompanying her to prenatal checkups.
The caption read: “Hehe, such a gentle, caring, super–rich soon–to–be daddy,”

Harper saw through her game immediately. She liked the post and commented:
“Got my bone marrow, recovered, and now you’re taunting me? Serena, does it taste good to be so ungrateful and heartless?”
The next day, Harper said goodbye to her close friends and delivered luxury items to interested buyers.
On her way home, she received another share from Serena–another TikTok post with photos of Finn helping her shop for maternity clothes.
Pretty pink and white outfits, each one stylish.
Harper checked Serena’s reply to her previous comment. The tone was arrogant:
“I never begged you for bone marrow. Finn was worried about me and forced me to accept it.”
Harper laughed coldly and replied with a single question mark.
On the third day, Harper sold the gifts she’d given Finn over the years–more than a dozen shirts, shoes, and watches.
Serena posted again on TikTok–this time it was Finn booking her an expensive maternity center.
Her arrogant caption: “What can I say? I was born lucky!”
That afternoon, Finn finally returned.
He frowned at the somewhat empty bedroom and the pink suitcase that had appeared. “What happened to our things? And where are those shirts you gave me? Why did you suddenly buy a suitcase?”
Harper kept her eyes down, making up an excuse. “Those shirts were outdated, so I threw them out. I was thinking about traveling but changed my mind.”
Thinking she was upset about his three–day absence, Finn pulled out a contract for a limited–edition Lamborghini he’d prepared in advance.
“I’ve been busy with work, but I ordered a supercar for you. I’ll take you to pick it up soon.”
Unlike other women, Harper didn’t care for handbags–she only loved sports cars.
This Lamborghini was one she’d recently had her eye on.
Finn had customized it in black and pink–her favorite colors.
Even the seats featured her favorite cartoon character–Mickey Mouse.
For eight years, Finn had remembered her every preference with perfect clarity.
If she hadn’t overheard his conversation with Rebecca outside the hospital room, she’d probably have been deeply i
“Thank you,” Harper said, setting the contract aside.

Finn frowned, moving closer to pinch her soft cheek. “Still mad? There’s an event tonight. I’ll take you out to cheer you up.”
