No girl in my village ever married, unless someone was willing to give her a silver crown with 999 gemstones. On the day the girl put on the crown, she would be engaged. I had been dating John Frank for eight years, and he finally completed the crown. On the day of the engagement, the village assembly hall was full of villagers. Everyone was waiting for me to be married gloriously. However, I had heard a conversation between John and Blake, his friend. “Are you really going to bring Ms. Blaire to the stage? If you do, you’ll humiliate the Lane family!” John smiled and said airily, “That doesn’t matter. Katherine has been teaching in the village as a volunteer teacher for three years. She donated books to the children and gave medicine to the elderly. “Her greatest wish is to experience a village engagement, and I’m just fulfilling her dream.” Blake remained silent for a few seconds. “What about Willow?” John was completely nonchalant about that. “She has loved me for eight years. She can’t leave my side. At most, she’ll cry for a few days and wait for me to calm her down. Then, she’ll still ask her father to let her marry me. “Besides, I might be giving Katherine an engagement, but Willow will still be my wife. No matter what, I can’t let a kind person have any regrets.” Apparently, Katherine’s wish had to be fulfilled with my engagement. I wiped my tears away and called the number I had not contacted for a long time. “Samuel, marry me tomorrow.”

(Third-Person POV)The police sirens arrived from afar. Someone had called the police after the broadcast ended. Katherine was arrested under suspicion of defamation and fraud. MCN, her company, quickly released a statement after this matter went viral, announcing that it was going to cancel her contract. They stated that they were going to hold her accountable for violating her contract. The brands that had once hired her as a brand ambassador quickly pulled down all advertisements with her in them and asked for compensation. Katherine stayed slumped on the floor as she watched the messages that appeared on her phone. She saw the cancellation of contracts, compensation requests, insults, and lawsuits. John never looked at her. He stood still as he stared at Willow. He wanted to go over and apologize to her, but Samuel was right there. Willow had become someone else’s fiancee.(First-Person POV)The engagement ceremony ended. Samuel held my hand and brought me

(Third-Person POV)John stepped forward to shield Katherine. “Everyone, calm down! Katherine has done plenty of things for the village over the years. You’ve all seen it! It’s not easy for a city girl to come into the mountains to teach for three years.“Besides, she saved me before! How could someone who risked her life to save someone else do that?”The moment he finished speaking, a woman in a blue blouse snickered and said, “Boy, you’re really stupid.”The woman, who was called Agatha, stepped forward with a cigarette between her fingers. “You said she saved you? The first person who found you when you got into your accident was Willow. She saw your car in the ditch and dragged you out. “Then, she carried you for three miles down the mountain path. She was worried that you wouldn’t last until the ambulance arrived, so she carried you to the town’s hospital.“When she reached the hospital, her legs were trembling, and she was covered in blood. The moment she put you down, she

The bodyguards stopped John from reentering the crowd. He stood outside the area and watched everything that transpired on the stage. Katherine stood beside him and tugged at his sleeve. “John, let’s go… We’re not welcome here.”John did not move. His eyes were fixed on the stage as he watched Samuel position the crown on my head. He stared at the divine flower on the crown and the smile he had never seen before on my lips. I had been with him for eight years, and I had asked him for a wedding countless times over those years. I begged him to try on his wedding suit, to set a date, and to look at me seriously for once. Instead, what did he do?He put the silver crown on another woman’s head and let another woman wear my wedding dress. John had said that I had loved him for eight years and could not bear to leave his side. At most, I would just cry for a few days and wait for him to comfort me. Then, I would still ask my father to let me marry him. At the moment, I was s

Upon hearing this, a faint, mocking smile appeared on Samuel’s lips. He said nothing and just waved his hand. Two assistants carried an antique rosewood chest up the stage. The moment the chest was opened, everyone sucked in sharp breaths. A silver crown sat quietly on top of black velvet, but it did not just have gemstones and carved flowers. The silver threads were like hair strands, and they wove into the village’s divine flower through traditional filigree metalwork. The edges of the petals were adorned with nine sapphires, and they shone brilliantly under the sun. Compared to it, John’s silver crown looked crude and clumsy. Luke stood by the side and said in a quivering voice, “John, Samuel has known Willow since they were kids. He put more effort into his relationship with her than you did. “As for you, what did you do aside from making Willow cry over the past eight years?”John was kneeling on the floor. As he stared at the silver crown, he looked at his own.
