Chapter 1153 Waiting For Her Boyfriend To Come For The Marriage ProposalChapter 1153 Waiting for her boyfriend to come for the marriage proposal Upstairs, the two sisters were having a heart-to-heart conversation. Downstairs, as everyone eagerly awaited, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the Turner family's gate.
"It's been many years since | last came to the Turner family. Do you still remember me?" A majestic voice was heard.
Upon hearing this, the guests who were talking, drinking, and networking at the scene suddenly froze and turned their heads to look.
Then, they collectively stared in shock.
It was actually the Soo family who arrived first! Nicholas was wearing a blue suit, leaning on a cane, with wrinkles all over his face, but a smile on his face. He led the Soo family into the hall in a grand manner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlmost everyone in the hall subconsciously focused their gaze on Alfie standing next to him. Although they had heard rumors about Alfie, many of the young ladies" hearts still couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably when they saw the delicate and gentle features of the young man in front of them.
But it wasn't just Alfie who came.
Cameron, Sienna... even the youngest Soo family young master was carried in Mrs. Soo's arms, which showed the Soo family's level of importance to this engagement.
However, this was not surprising. Seeing the deep background and Selena's status in the research institute and Zone Six that the Turner family had now revealed, how could Nicholas, who was driven purely by profit, dare to treat this engagement with the Turner family indifferently, just like before? He even turned a blind eye to it.
Patrick's eyes darkened, and he retorted coldly, "Nicholas, you're joking. Although Grandpa passed away twenty years ago, | could never forget him." With one sentence, Patrick ruthlessly cut off any chance of the Soo family playing the emotional card.
The guests were not surprised by their dislike of Patrick. After all, everyone knew the Soo family's behavior of trying to harm the Turner family in the past. The fact that they could even maintain a peaceful demeanor when they met their enemies was already impressive enough. If it were them, they would probably be seething with anger at the sight of Nicholas.
Having been in the power game for many years, Nicholas naturally wasn't hurt by these words. He didn't even change his smile on his face.
His gaze swept around and he asked with a smile, "Where is Selena? How come she's not here? Today is the day of the Soo family and the Turner family’s engagement. As the person involved, she can't be absent..." As soon as he mentioned Selena, Patrick's face turned colder. "Selena is upstairs,” he said in a flat voice.
Without waiting for Nicholas to speak, Patrick added, "Waiting for her boyfriend to propose.” As soon as he said this, the gaze of everyone present gathered on Patrick.
As the current head of the Turner family and the only family of Miss Turner, Patrick's attitude towards Selena's marriage is crucial.
And from the words of the Turner family's young master, he obviously leans more towards the Anderson family.
After all, it is well known that Miss Turner’ boyfriend is Mr. Anderson! The Soo family was probably prepared for this and did not have much of a reaction to Patrick's words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Soo put her young son on the ground and patted his head, "Jayden, that sweet-smelling sister is upstairs, she's going to be your sister-in-law soon. Are you happy?" The three-year-old child naturally did not understand what a sister-in-law was.
But perhaps because Selena didn't leave him underwater at that time, the child had a very deep impression of that sweet- smelling sister.
Upon hearing Mrs. Soo's words, he ran upstairs with his chubby legs while shouting, "Miss..." Almost without Patrick's command, the Turner family's servants immediately took a step forward, picked up the child, and handed him over to the Soo family.
Patrick said sarcastically, "So Mrs. Soo, you still remember that Selena saved your son's life!" Mrs. Soo avoided Patrick's gaze and did not reach out to take her crying son. She said with a smile, "Selena saved Jayden, and he really likes her. It's clear that she belongs to the Soo family." Patrick interrupted, "You are worrying too much. Selena has her own boyfriend, and she will not become a member of the Soo family." This was a clear rejection.
Nicholas’ face darkened, and he reprimanded with a stern expression, "What are you saying? Your grandfather and | personally arranged a marriage between the two children.” "To show the sincerity of the Soo family, | even promised your grandfather that Alfie will never marry any other woman except for the Turner family's daughter in his lifetime." "Previously, the Soo family didn't know about Selena's existence and treated her unfairly. This was our fault. | promise you that we will make it up to her in the future.” "Now that the two children are of similar age, it's time to make the arrangement.” Upon hearing this, the crowd on the scene was in an uproar. So that's the origin of the Soo family's rule? When Wilfred was still alive, he dreamed of having a beautiful and lovely granddaughter. According to how much Wilfred loved his granddaughter and how protective he was, he might really have done it! At that moment, many people looked at Alfie with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
When the Turner family and the Soo family were betrothed, Selena didn't exist yet. But Alfie was already several years old at the time. For the sake of a possible fiancée, Nicholas actually gambled his grandson's entire life, it was really...
Alfie's eyes were light, his lips curved into a shallow smile, standing quietly behind Nicholas, as if he didn't notice the tense atmosphere on the scene.
Patrick's face turned unpleasant. He didn't know the specifics of the betrothal between the Turner family and the Soo family, but he knew that the real reason was definitely not what Nicholas said. Although the Turner family patriarch loved his granddaughter, he would not sacrifice another child's marriage for her.
But Wilfred had already passed away a long time ago. Besides Nicholas, no one knew the truth about that betrothal. Now that Nicholas had brought it up in public, the Turner family couldn't deny it! Patrick suppressed his anger and spoke in a stern tone, "Nicholas also knows the special situation of the Turner family. Selena has only returned for two months, and for over a dozen years before that, the Turner family didn't even know about her existence, let alone interfere with her marriage.” "Before Selena returned to the Turner family, she had already fallen in love with someone, so... the betrothal between the Turner family and the Soo family is hereby cancelled!" Nicholas stared at Patrick and smiled, "Patrick, you can't talk nonsense like that, otherwise your grandfather in heaven will be angry” Freddie stood in the crowd, hearing Patrick's words and a sly glint flashed in his eyes. He coldly laughed, "Using a sister who has just returned home, abandoning a family betrothal, and drawing in the entire Anderson family, Mr. Turner, you really have a good plan!" In other words, he was accusing Patrick of deliberately using Selena to form an alliance with the Anderson family and inciting conflict.
