Chapter 127


    Chapter 127


    “Come over here, Nigel. I’d like you to meet Mr. Johnson, his wife, and his only daughter, Leah. You


    guys met when you were younger.” Nigel’s father, Jonathan Manson, chuckled as he nced at the


    other family’s daughter with a fond and loving gaze.


    “Yeah! You guys brought Nigel over during Leah’s 100-day-old party. Nigel was only two years old


    then! We already had the idea of matching them since,” Johnson’s wife uttered with a sweet smile.


    “Exactly! Their age difference is just perfect.” Joy appeared in Brenda’s-Nigel’s mother-eyes as she


    looked at Leah. Brenda was wholly satisfied with this idea. Both Brenda and Jonathan had Leah as


    their first choice in mind. Leah’s parents were powerful people in the food industry, and they had a


    lot of partnerships with hotel businesses. If Nigel took over the business, he’d be able to receive


    support from Leah’s family. So, the most ideal n was to matchmake them and unite their families,


    so that they could both help each other double and triple their revenue!


    Nigel would no longer have to worry about ack of support in his career as he would have an


    extremely powerful father-inw! Leah’s parents shared the same thoughts, and they figured that


    both families would only grow stronger once theybined their resources. Furthermore, Leah’s


    family wouldn’t have to worry about finding another inheritor for their business because they were


    satisfied with Nigel’s capabilities.


    “It’s been a while, Nigel!” Leah gave him a friendly greeting. This wasn’t the first time they had met


    each other. They were both club members of some overseas racing club, and Leah had fallen in


    love with Nigel the first time she saw him. It was love at first sight-she even followed him back to the


    country after he left. Most importantly, Leah was overjoyed to find out that both her and Nigel’s


    parents were supportive of the rtionship.


    “It’s been a while, Leah. Thank you foring to my grandmother’s party, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.” Nigel


    spoke in a polite tone.


    “It’s our pleasure and honor to be able to attend this party.” The Hart couple hade over just so


    that their children could meet up during the party. “Why don’t you show Leah to the buffet area for


    some food, Nigel? Us old ones will be here catching up with each other.” Brenda shot her son a


    look.


    Nigel was exasperated deep down, but he maintained a polite expression on his face. “Okay, Mom.”


    Nigel brought Leah out of the hall and toward the buffet area. After Leah got some food, Nigel


    seized this opportunity to escape. “I have other matters to handle, Leah! You enjoy your meal,


    alright?”


    Leah immediately stared at him with a look of disappointment. She had spent the whole day


    preparing and dolling herself up for the party, yet Nigel barely looked at her. That hurt her heart


    more than ever. However, when she recalled how both families’ parents were willing to matchmake


    them, she felt a little better. She had no need to rush since she was going to be the Manson’s


    daughter-inw eventually.


    “That was Old Madam Presgrave’s grandson, wasn’t he? He looks stunning!” someone uttered.


    “Yeah, I heard that there have been arge number ofdies from rich families who are circling the


    two young masters! I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to get married to him and be a part of


    their family,” another said.


    A confident smirk formed on Leah’s lips after she heard the conversations. I’m one of those lucky


    girls, she thought. No one else will ever have enough power and resources to take Nigel away from


    me.


    Meanwhile, Nigel had just arrived at the PA system room. The host of the night happened to be


    there. “I’m going to propose to a girlter, and I need your help,” Nigel said.


    “When are you doing it? I’ll prepare everything for you right now,” the staff member replied.


    “Ten minutester, I’d like you to call Anastasia’s name and get her on stage. Then, you guys can


    prepare the music and lighting. Take this USB; I’ve prepared a video that I edited, and you can y


    it on the big stream. It goes well with romantic songs,” Nigel exined.


    “We got your back, Young Master Nigel!” they cried. Once Nigel was done, he left with a satisfied


    smile on his face. My proposal is going to start in ten minutes, he thought as he pulled the diamond


    ring out of his pocket. It wasn’t in a box, but the shining surface and the rainbow-like reflections


    made it clear that it was expensive.


    Meanwhile, Anastasia and Harriet had separated. Earlier, Harriet told Anastasia to stay pastThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    9.00PM, so Anastasia decided to follow Harriet’s wishes. I’ll wait here until it’s past 9.00PM!


    Anastasia walked over to a quieter spot before she heard a malicious female voice sneering at her.


    “Your mother only passed away due to her work back then, Anastasia. Are you really expecting the


    Presgrave Family to continue repaying you?”
