Bonnie began, "Dad…"
Upon seeing Bonnie, Crispin immediately knew that she had heard the news as well. His expression grew concerned. "I've sent someone to inquire further, to confirm if someone has been spreading rumors. I've never heard of Glen or Manfred mentioning a fiancée before. Why is this fiancée suddenly appearing?"
"I agree. The news might not be reliable, but… I can't help but feel uneasy. If these rumors are spreading, there must be some truth to it."
Bonnie was deeply shaken. She never imagined that Manfred would have a fiancée. She had been plannin her future with him just days before.
Crispin furrowed his brow. "It doesn't seem like a baseless rumor. I also heard that his fiancée is Mr. Marshman Senior's mentee, not someone to be taken lightly."
"Mr. Marshman Senior's mentee…" Bonnie bit her lip. She couldn't fathom the idea of Manfred being emotionally attached to someone else. But it was just a fiancée—could it mean that Manfred truly cared for her?
"Here's the plan. I'll visit Glen and inquire about the details. Then, I'll send Vernon to visit Manfred. Only by seeing it for ourselves will we know the truth." Crispin quickly made a decision.
Bonnie immediately responded, "I'll go with Vernon to the Atkinson residence."
Crispin shook his head with a frown. "No, you stay here. Vernon will go alone. He can use his official capacity as an excuse."
Bonnie felt a pang of disappointment, but she had no choice.
After waiting for about four hours, Crispin returned from his meeting with Glen, looking clearly frustrated.
Bonnie had been waiting anxiously by the door. She rushed over to him as soon as she saw him. "Dad, what did Mr. Holland Senior say?"
Crispin frowned deeply, glancing around before speaking. "Has Vernon returned yet?"
"No, he hasn't," Bonnie replied.
Crispin sighed. "The rumors are true. Manfred does indeed have a fiancée, and her background matches the rumors. According to Glen, Manfred is very happy with the match, and he said the two are emotionally compatible. Bonnie, it seems like you and Manfred have no future together."
