Chapter 1183


    As soon as Egbert and Somoset heard these words, their expressions fell as they red at Momo.


    "Momo, stop messing around," L scolded.


    Somoset looked towards Ernest and said in disdain, "Brother, Momo is your daughter, you have to


    discipline her."


    Ernest hesitated for a while before summoning the courage to say, "Actually, I think that we should


    consider Momo''s thoughts too since it is her marriage. I think Fade isn’t a bad choice after all. The


    Soo family can consider-."


    Before Ernest finished his words, Egbert interrupted him sharply, "Shut up, Ernest, do you know


    what you are talking about?"


    "Dad, I ." Ernest tried to exin.


    However, Egbert did not give him the chance to continue. "Needless to say, you have seen


    everyone''s opinion. Then, it is settled. Momo will be engaged to Hector, and the date will be set on


    99


    Disappointment and despair were evident in both Ernest and Momo''s expressions when they heard


    Egbert''s words.


    Just as everyone thought that the matter had been settled, there came a voice. "Master Soo, in fact,


    I support Mr. Fade."


    Everyone looked over at the source of the voice in shock.


    When they saw who it was, they were stunned. Even Master Soo frowned slightly in surprise.


    "Andrew Xu has spoken


    "Andrew is a real estate tycoon in South Bay City, and he can be regarded as one of the wealthiest


    bosses here.”


    "Why does he support Fade? I don''t understand at all."


    "That''s right, Andrew has no rtion with Fade!"


    Amidst the cries of surprise, everyone turned to Andrew.


    Andrew smiled and said, "In fact, Mr. Chen is much more outstanding in every aspect than what


    everyone thinks. Moreover, Miss Memo has someone she likes. So, I think that Mr. Chen is a good


    choice."


    The discussion just grew heated when they heard Andrew''s words. Nobody understood why


    Andrew was supporting Fade.


    The expressions on the Yao family''s face fell.


    Salgado snorted coldly at Andrew, "Director Xu, it is quite clear that you are not aware of the affairs


    between the Yao family and Soo family. It''s best for you not to speak casually."


    The words carried weight and had a hint of threat.


    However, Andrew didn''t change his mind. Instead, he smiled and said to Salgado, "Mr. Yao, I am


    just voicing out my opinion. In my opinion, Mr. Chen is indeed a better option."


    "You..." Salgado was at the verge of anger, but at the critical moment, his father, Finnegan pulled


    him back. He did not speak, but instead cast his eyes on Egbert, who was the host of the event.


    Obviously, Finnegan did not want to have a meaningless argument with Andrew. As long as Egbert


    made his decision, it didn''t matter what other people thought.


    Egbert understood what the Yao family was thinking. He nced at Andrew and said slowly, "Thank


    you Director Xu for your opinion, but we have our own choice for the marriage of the Soo family. We


    still choose Hector."


    Andrew shook his head and sighed in disappointment after hearing Egbert. He then said, "I


    understand Master Soo''s choice, but I hope Master Soo will not regret itter."


    Egbert was a little displeased with Andrew''s words and couldn''t help but frown. However, Andrew


    was also someone well-known in South Bay City, hence it was not appropriate for Egbert to lose his


    temper at Andrew. He replied with a cold expression, "I won''t regret it."


    Andrew did not say anything else as he retreated silently.


    On the other hand, Andrew''s daughter, Lauren, covered her mouth and let out augh.


    Noticing that, the Soo family''s expression darkened, showing their disapproval. L asked angrily,


    "Miss Xu, why are youughing? Is there anything to be happy about?"


    When Lauren heard this, she stood up sportingly and exined, "In my opinion, I''m happy that the


    Soo family rejected Mr. Chen''s proposal. After all, I will have the opportunity to pursue Mr. Chen."


    "Pursue Mr. Chen?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and turned to look at


    Lauren.


    Lauren was the only daughter of Andrew, the absolute heiress to her father''s business. Her status in


    South Bay City was only second to someone from a big family like Memo. In addition, Lauren had


    an attractive appearance and stunning figure. Many men had expressed their love towards her in


    the past, but she had never shown interest in any of them.


    However, Lauren had just announced publicly that she would pursue Fade. This was indeed


    astonishing.


    Even Hector said with disdain, "I''d never thought that Miss Xu would have such a unique and


    extraordinary taste in men!"


    Lauren chuckled and replied, "Mr. Chen is a person worth pursuing. On the other hand, I''m not sure


    about you."


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Andrew then added, "If Mr. Chen agrees, I am willing to give the entire Xu family business and my


    daughter to Mr. Chen."


    With that said, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Although Andrew’s wealth was not as great as the Soo family or the Yao family, he was still a


    billionaire.


    However, Andrew stated that he was willing to give Fade his entire business, and also his own


    daughter. He was tantly trying to suck up to Fade.


    Everyone couldn'' t understand why Andrew prioritized Fade so much. In an instant, the hall was


    filled with doubtful discussions.


    Hector’s face fell after hearing that.


    Lauren walked obediently to Fade''s side, bowed her head and apologized, "Mr. Chen, I''m sorry, I


    was reckless just now. I''ve said those words, I..."


    Fade replied indifferently, "It''s okay, I can understand."


    Egbert looked at the chaotic scene and frowned. "This is the annual banquet of the Soo family.


    Anyone who is not rted or doesn''t want to stay is free to leave."


    These words were a direct warning to Lauren, Andrew and Fade.


    Zarriah immediately waved his hand when he heard Egbert''s words, motioning for the guards to


    force Fade out of the event.


    However, just as the guards were about to take action, Hector stood up and looked at Zarriah. He


    announced loudly, "Zarriah, before driving this person away, I have something to resolve with him."


    "Hector, please speak." Zarriah signaled for the guards to stop and looked at Hector.


    Hector looked around, then pointed at Fade and said loudly, "Initially, I didn''t want to make this


    public on this asion. But since Mr. Chen has proposed publicly to my fiancee and disturbed our


    rtionship, there are some things that I have to solve right now."
