Duke Holtz, with a stern expression, went to find Euphemia, who was angrily throwing things.
"Euphemia, the engagement ceremony cannot be canceled. You need to choose a suitable young man who matches your status and interests to complete the ceremony!"
"I won't!" Euphemia shook her head in refusal. "Daddy, I will only marry Mr. Qin. I won't get engaged to any other man besides him!"
"But as you can see, Qin Lu has escaped. Do you want the First Duke's Mansion to be humiliated in front of everyone?"
Duke Holtz's only consolation was that, due to the short notice and the desire to maintain secrecy, they hadn't mentioned Qin Lu's name on the invitations.
So now, replacing the groom wouldn't cause an even bigger scandal.
Euphemia pouted, wanting to continue protesting. But seeing Duke Holtz's grim expression, she reluctantly kept quiet and didn't press further.
