By now, even the slowest of minds would have realized something was amiss.

"How could anyone confuse resignation with a business trip?"

And after all the meticulous preparations Brenda had made for the engagement party, how could the bride's parents be completely in the dark?

"Mr. Harris, this..." Assistant Zhang's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

Jerrold turned to the Lis. "There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding. Please rest for now, and I'll look into this."

With that, he and Assistant Zhang quickly got into the car and drove back to the Harris estate.

At this moment, both Grandma Harris and Grandpa Harris...

Apart from Jerrold's cousins, who had rushed back tonight, everyone else was already present.

Grandma Harris looked at her eldest grandson with delight, her heart brimming with joy. At long last, the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

However, when Jerrold's gaze fell on the name displayed at the engagement party venue, he froze in place.

Behind him, Rufus, who had accompanied him to the scene, glanced up and saw the names written on the banner: "President Harris and Su Keke." He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Oh no, this is a complete disaster!"

He swallowed hard, his nerves getting the better of him.

These past few weeks, he and President Harris had been entirely consumed with the North City project. Any spare time had been devoted to matters involving Catherine and the Lee Corporation.

Trusting the Harris family's capabilities completely, it hadn't even occurred to him to check on the arrangements for the engagement.

And now, it was clear—there had been a mix-up from the very start!

"Mom, call off the engagement party. Su Keke isn't the one I want to marry, " Jerrold said, turning to Lilah.

For the first time, his eyes betrayed a sense of panic.

Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked out.

After a few steps, he broke into a run, instructing someone to check Catherine's flight information on his way out.

In that moment, all the puzzling events of the past weeks came into sharp focus, and everything finally clicked.

Behind him, the Harris family was left utterly speechless, frozen in shock.

Grandma Harris, trembling, grabbed Rufus by the arm as he was about to follow Jerrold out the door. "Rufus, what on earth is going on here?"

Lilah also looked at him, her face filled with confusion.
