Amelia now understood that perhaps losing his title as the heir of the Raphael group made Damien desperate in his attempts to secure someone for his future, given that today he whimsically announced his marriage to Emilia Blake—a family known for their broken state, just before the news of his abandonment could be published.
Given the opinions of high society, it was most probable that due to his already depleted image, no one would have accepted to marry him. Additionally, because of his being abandoned by the Raphael family, it was even more unlikely, as influential groups would have already gotten this news.
This left only those from fallen families who were still unaware of the news and could easily engage their daughter in hopes of rising in their ranking. It appeared that Damien tried both ways; first, he decided to announce his marriage to Emilia Blake, and second, he thought that Amelia would feel jealous and accept him after his marriage announcement.
