Chapter 3My Boyfriend Proposed to a Dead Woman

To keep Hannah from being affected, he'd deliberately blurred out her face.

A message popped up from his friend:

[Sorry, Lydia. They actually never broke up. We knew you really liked Holden, so we kept giving you face and didn't say anything.]

[They're already engaged. You should stop pursuing him.]

Sharon snorted coldly:

"Now they're telling you to stop pursuing him? Wasn't it him who fell for you at first sight and pursued you relentlessly? You didn't even want to date him at first! These men—they ruin you, then blame you for it!"

I said nothing.

My mind kept repeating:

"They actually never broke up."

For five years, had Holden been in contact with a dead woman?

"With things like this between you two, I'll cancel that variety show you were both supposed to do."

"Don't cancel it!"

I stopped Sharon.

Sharon looked at me in surprise. "Don't tell me... you still have feelings for him?"

"Didn't he say I've been the one pursuing him all along? Then let the whole country see who's been pursuing who!"

And while I was at it, I wanted to ask about Hannah—what exactly was going on?

I still chose to participate in the variety show.

Holden was somewhat surprised.

He smiled coldly:

"What, still can't let go?"

I didn't answer.

The host stirred up drama:

"I heard that for the past five years, Miss Lydia has been the one hyping up your relationship with Mr. Pierce. May I ask, did you not know Mr. Pierce had someone he liked?"

"I knew."

The comments section exploded:

[I knew it! Lydia's cheap to the bone! Knowing he had someone, still throwing herself at him! Taking advantage of the fact that his civilian girlfriend has no voice in this! What a bitch!]

[Though I don't like Holden's civilian girlfriend either, I hate Lydia even more! I support the civilian girlfriend!]

"Who said I was the one throwing myself at him?"

I looked up.

The next second, the big screen suddenly displayed screenshot after screenshot of chat records.

The comments froze for a moment.

Because everyone could see that in the beginning, it was Holden who pursued me.

Holden's breathing hitched.

The comments gradually started flowing again:

[Wait... why is Holden being so clingy with her? Isn't Holden supposed to be our aloof male god?]

[Oh my god, Holden called her baby! Holden, you stoic person using such sweet talk! Do you know how devastating that is!]

[Is that the point! The point is your Holden was two-timing!]

"Why are you showing this stuff!"

Holden gritted his teeth.

I laughed coldly:

"Someone can spread rumors that I've been obsessively pursuing you all these years, but I can't make our chat records public?"

I pointed to the message he'd sent recently:

"'If I win Best Actor this time, will you marry me?' Look, Holden, those are your words. You were the one who proposed to me!"

Holden's face went pale.

The comments went wild:

[This isn't what I expected. From this perspective, it's clearly Holden who deceived Lydia!]

[Though I'm a Lydia hater, wasn't this basically a proposal from Holden!]

[Then what does it mean to publicly give the ring to someone else? Either way, deceiving someone's feelings isn't right, is it?]

"Excuse me."

A familiar voice rang out.

My back went cold.

A girl slowly walked out from backstage.

"Please don't believe these chat records."

This voice... it was Hannah's... exactly the same!
