The cost was too high for Yang Yi to complete Aaron's first task.
Now Yang Yi could accept his own scoundrel nature, but every time he saw Petra truly smile from her heart upon seeing him, he had to put his soul through a moral inquisition.
Alright, the time has come. It's time to dump Petra, to end this relationship that's entirely devoid of foundation, one fully built on deception.

Petra's father now stood in the same trenches as Yang Yi—no, that's not quite right to say, but Oscar Bell indeed shared a common goal with him, that's a much more accurate description.
If he abandoned Petra at this moment, he could also forget about dealing with Bell Securities.
For the greater plan, Yang Yi must continue dating Petra—an excellent excuse.
Yang Yi had deceived himself, and that eased his conscience considerably, allowing him to appear genuinely happy when meeting Petra's parents.
