Chapter 28 Dead Loss
“Hello, my name is Madeline Tuffin. You can call me Ms. Tuffin Anna is still young and immature. Please take good care of her in the future. Madeline was obsessed with looks. As soon as she saw Julian, she felt that he and Annalise were a match made in heaven
“Hi, Ms. Tuffin Julian greeted
“All right. Let’s go in together.” Madeline smiled
Hearing Julian calling her Ms. Tuffin, Madeline had a better impression of him
She was an artist and had always been very sensitive about a person’s temperament.
Hence, she could tell at a glance that Julian was from an extraordinary background.
The noble aura that his body exuded was ingrained in his bones; formal wear could not simulate such an
Žura
A person of extraordinary birth could be so humble and polite without a trace of arrogance.
This, again, won the favor of Madeline.
Since Annalise was single now, Madeline decided to observe Julian first. If he was really a decent person, she could create opportunities for them.
As they were walking toward the lobby, they suddenly heard a whooping noise coming from above.
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a helicopter coming.
A banner decorated with colored lightbulbs was dropped from the helicopter. It read “Abigail, will you marry me?”
The colored lightbulbs were all heart-shaped. Together, they looked festive and sweet.
Immediately afterward, numerous drones came from all directions in the sky. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The drones changed into all kinds of colors – purple, red, blue, and pink..
In the end, they formed a heart shape, and then a confession: “Abigail, I love you. Please marry me.”
“Wow! Who is it?” People started talking about it.
“I didn’t hear that Abigail Barton has a boyfriend.”
“It’s not necessarily her boyfriend. She has so many admirers.”
“Why do I think it’s Benjamin Quigley?”
“Nonsense. Benjamin Quigley is Annalise Barton’s boyfriend.”
“Pfft! How could Benjamin keep loving a bumpkin like Annalise? He probably only thought of her as a dummy and a cute country girl, which made him feel interested in her for a brief moment. He’ll eventually grow to dislike her after his initial interest fades.”
“You’re right.”
“Look! Someone’s coming down. Who is it?”
From the helicopter, a man in a suit walked down the stairs.
“He’s so handsome! He’s even more handsome than Benjamin Quigley!” someone exclaimed.
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know him. He’s probably not from Horington ”
“Then, where is he from?”
“Look, the Barton family’s car is here,” another person exclaimed.
Slowly, a Rolls-Royce pulled over and stopped in front of the hotel’s entrance.
Kent handed the car key to the valet, who ran over, and Abigail got out of the car from the backseat.
She wore a long white dress and looked as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven.
Before she arrived, she had already seen the helicopter and drones in the sky.
It was a nice surprise, and she liked it very much. It was amazing enough, and it was enough to embarrass Annalise.
With her around, she would never give Annalise a chance to shine.
At the same time, Alexander also saw Abigail.
He felt that she had good taste and was glad that she did not disappoint him.
The long white dress was gorgeous. Her jewelry and bag were also well matched. Besides that, her hair was also done nicely, which improved her temperament a lot.
Moments later, he walked up to her with roses in his hand, knelt on one knee, and smiled gently. “Abigail, will you marry me?”
“Ahh! This is so romantic!”
“I’m so jealous. Why does Abigail Barton have so many admirers?”
“All we can do is feel envious. After all, Abigail is too outstanding. She’s already a famous doctor at such a young age, and Moonlight Group is dealing with medicine. She’s now accumulating knowledge in school while getting hands-on experience in the hospital. In the future, she’ll take over Moonlight Group. She has a bright future in front of her!”
“But from what I’ve heard, Moonlight Group is the property Annalise’s deceased mother left behind for her.” “Stop dreaming. Even if the Barton family really lets her inherit Moonlight Group, does she have the ability to manage it? She’s just a bumpkin from the countryside. She should never think about running a company.”
“That’s true. By the way, who is this man?”
“I don’t know.”
“Will Abigail accept his proposal?”
“Definitely not. I heard that Abigail likes Benjamin.”
Coincidentally, Benjamin happened to be standing in the crowd. When he heard that Abigail liked him, he could not help but raise his chin.
The reason he went there that day was to piss Annalise off.
Annalise humiliated him the other day, and he would not let the matter slide so easily.
Therefore, after much consideration, he decided to attend the charity gala to show off his love for Abigail and piss Annalise off.
Since there was no way to make up with Annalise, he did not care if his actions would embarrass her or not anymore.
He texted her the previous day, asking if she would attend the charity gala, and she replied that she would be there at seven o’clock.
Little did he know that he would witness an affluent playboy proposing to Abigail as soon as he arrived. “Ha! Which family is this playboy from? Doesn’t he know that Abigail is my woman? He’s just making a fool out of himself,” he thought.
He had completely forgotten about how he had made a fool of himself previously.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Abigail take the rose from Alexander’s hand with a smile on her face, and she answered sweetly, “I do!”
Her response caught Benjamin by surprise.
“What? What did I just see? This must be a hallucination!” he exclaimed mentally.
Instantaneously, he rubbed his eyes, only to see her take the flowers and wrap her arms around the neck of the man who had proposed to her.
“That’s impossible!” Benjamin pinched his thigh hard.
“Ouch! It hurts. Everything in front of me is true. Abigail really accepted another man’s proposal,” he mused.
“Tsk.” At that moment, Annalise was standing next to the hotel entrance with Julian and Madeline. Seeing that Abigail had accepted Alexander’s proposal, she gave a contemptuous snort.
“What a scene! The Barton family is not short of money, and Abigail has been well-pampered since she was a
child. Does she need to be so snobby? Seeing that Benjamin was the heir of the Quigley family, she snatched him away from me, regardless of the fact that he was my boyfriend. When she realized that Julian wasn’t an old man who required a wheelchair like the rumors claimed, she took advantage of the opportunity when we had a meal together to drug Julian’s wine, even when she knew that he and I had registered our marriage. Now that she knows she has no chance of snatching Julian away from me, she quickly accepts Alexander Parks. How dare someone like this feel that herself is pure and noble and no one’s worthy of her?” she wondered.
“Ms. Tuffin, let’s go in,” Annalise said.
“Okay. In the future, whoever wants to propose to you has to prepare a proposal that’s more romantic than this. Otherwise, I won’t agree to it,” uttered Madeline.
At the side, Julian silently noted down Madeline’s request.
He probably did not have a chance to prepare a proposal ceremony, but he would definitely hold an extravagant wedding ceremony.
Soon, the three of them walked inside, and Benjamin saw Annalise at a glance.
