Chapter 513: Chapter 513: So You Knew It All Along (23)

"So many years have passed, and I still remember the words you said to me back then..." No matter how calm Edric tried to make himself appear, as he spoke those words, his voice couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably: "I'm sorry, I'm going to marry Steve Burton."

Ruby Gregory knew exactly what he was talking about—the words she had said to him three years ago when that incident happened. Unconsciously, her hand tightened around the water glass in her palm.

Edric's gaze became somewhat unfocused, as if recalling events from many years ago. Speaking slowly, he said, "At that time, you told me that no matter who you ended up loving, you would still have to marry Steve Burton. Not just marry him, but marry him in a grand and glorious manner."

"You said that it had been your dream since childhood, and that you had to fulfill it. You said that the Gregorys' wealth and prestige depended on marrying Steve Burton."
