The bangle was a bit big, dangling loosely on the fair wrist, making the jade look even more vibrant and clear.
Scarlett saw the Shillingford family treating Andrea so well, she smiled and held her daughter’s hand, feeling it warmer than usual in her palm.
“Uncle and aunt, then I will come to propose tomorrow.”
Quinn was dead serious.
Lucian stared at him.
“Quinn, let me just say this first, even though Andrea isn’t my
biological daughter, I’ve raised her for all these years and I consider her as my own.”
Quinn nodded.
“Don’t worry, Uncle. I will definitely take good care of Andrea and not let her suffer any grievances.”
Alissa’s eyes flickered slightly, and she began to speak slowly.
“Since it was a marriage between two families, we should make it grand and dignified. The banquet hall at Cloud Top seems suitable.”
She looked up at Scarlett, with a perfect smile on her lips.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll have someone arrange it right away, and we can have the banquet tomorrow.”
Scarlett naturally had no objections.

“Mrs. Shillingford worked hard.”
Alissa picked up the tea cup and took a sip.”
“The Shillingford family and the Hodgson family each hosted a dinner party for relatives and friends, keeping up with the tradition and
making it a lively event.”
Her eyes glanced at the jade bracelet on Andrea’s wrist, her tone becoming even gentler.
“Andie was about to make a grand entrance into the Shillingford family, this event definitely couldn’t be taken lightly.”
Andrea looked at the eager eyes of the crowd in front of her, and met Quinn’s affectionate gaze, her heart beating like a drum.
This engagement, which was thought to be distant, ended in just one day, like a ridiculous dream.
The next morning, at the international airport.
Roderick stumbled out of the corridor, his suit all wrinkled, tie
crooked around his neck, stubble on his chin, looking all worn out and disheveled.
He hasn’t slept for over thirty hours, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks absolutely crazy.
The driver who came to pick up the boss was so scared by his appearance that he dared not ask too much, only cautiously reminding him.
“Mr. Hodgson, are you going back…”
“Drive back to the villa right away!”

Roderick rudely interrupted, his voice hoarse and terrifying.
When Roderick barged in through the front door, he caught sight of Lucian walking side by side with Scarlett towards the entrance hall.
Lucian was dressed to the nines in a sharp suit, while Scarlett was wearing a blue dress, looking elegant and graceful.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, their eyes landing on Roderick’s wrinkled shirt and crooked tie.
“How did it end up like this?”
Lucian’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, his gaze scanning over his son’s red eyes and stubble–covered chin.
Scarlett eased the tension.
“Roderick looked like he just got off a plane, stop talking about him…”
Roderick’s breathing wasn’t steady yet, he interrupted in a hoarse voice.
“Where are you guys going dressed like that?”
“Didn’t your sister tell you?” Lucian’s voice was noticeably colder, “Today is Andie and the Shillingford family’s engagement party.”
This sentence hit Roderick like a heavy hammer, making him see stars.
He staggered back two steps, his Adam’s apple bobbing violently.
“What engagement party?!”
“At the Cloud Top Club, you quickly went upstairs to change clothes, together…”
Before the words had even finished, Roderick had already turned and rushed out of the villa.
