Chapter 455 Proposal


    A few dayster, the York family hosted a grand banquet. There were numerous guests filling the expansive hall to its limits.


    Yelena adorned herself in an elegant dress, stunning even Shane and Pam. They had heard about


    their mother’s beauty, but they never imagined she could be this stunning!


    She looked like a figure straight out of a painting.


    When Joseph instructed Yelena to take the stage, the butler turned to Mnie. “Miss Mnie, would you apany Miss


    Yelena on stage?”


    “Me?”


    Was it appropriate for her to apany Yelena on such an asion?


    However, it was clearly Joseph’s idea, and Mnie knew they had a n. But seeing how much Yelena wanted her by her side,


    she agreed.


    She simply stood beside Yelena on stage, who didn’t speak. The butler spoke on her behalf.


    Mnie wondered if she was asked to apany Yelena on stage to subtly indicate to the


    audience that she was the vanguard of the York family.


    After the butler introduced the lostdy of the York family who had returned, apuse resounded


    throughout the hall.


    Yelena nodded to the audience.


    Then, the butler led her off the stage, with Mnie following behind.


    As they descended the steps, the spotlight remained on Mnie. Suddenly, a man rushed onto the


    stage, catching everyone off guard.


    With a thud, he knelt before her.


    “Marry me, Mnie!” He shouted.


    He had meticulously groomed hair and wore a deep red suit. In his hand was a diamond ring, and its brilliance was blinding.


    Everyone could see it clearly.


    Everyone froze for a few seconds...!


    Even the quick—witted butler was stunned.

    “Mnie, | fell in love with you the moment |id eyes on you! I’ve waited for so many years and finally found a woman who


    captured my heart at first sight. Please give me a chance!”


    The man came prepared. As he knelt and proposed, a band behind him began to y, and a cart filled with fresh, vibrant red


    roses was wheeled over. The roses had even been arranged into a


    heart.


    Seeing Mnie’sposed demeanor, the man snapped his fingers.


    Suddenly, a team of ck—d bodyguards emerged, performing a magic-like act as they each produced an exquisitely


    packaged jeweled box from behind. They opened them one by one, revealing sets of dazzling diamond jewelry.


    Among the onlookers, someone eximed: “Those are all diamonds!”


    “They''re all limited editions! And there are so many of them! How much must this have cost?!”


    Mnie furrowed her brows.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    It was impossible not to be affected. She was taken aback and was speechless for a few seconds. She was unprepared,


    especially considering that the man was no ordinary person...


    He was none other than one of the York family’s sons, Harlow York!


    One of Leo’s confidants hurried forward amid themotion and whispered into his ear, “Sir, what should we do? Should we


    stop him? We can’t let him marry Miss Mnie!”


    “How could Mnie possibly agree?” Leo remained calm.


    “But...”


    The confidant drew closer, lowering his voice. “Sir, Master York has always wanted you to pursue Miss Mnie, and that’s what


    the outside world also believes.


    “Even if Miss Mnie refuses, with Harlow proposing so publicly, it will disrupt the ns of


    various factions...”


    “So what?” Leo sneered. “He’s just desperate to gain Aunt’s support. But you''ve forgotten, we already have the trust of the


    person Aunt cares about the most. Victory is still in my hands!”


    “Yes, sir.”


    The confidant rxed, reassured by Jeffrey’s resolve.


    With a hint of satisfaction amidst his grim expression, Leo said through gritted his teeth. “When Harlow learns the truth one day,


    he''ll realize he’s aplete fool!”


    Hmph!

    Leo sneered and watched the spectacle unfold at the edge of the stage.


    Mnie had quickly regained herposure. She narrowed her eyes and asked, puzzled, “Mr. York, what are you doing?”


    If it weren’t for the many people present, she would have expressed her feelings bluntly.


    Was there something wrong with his head?


    That was what she wanted to ask Harlow.


    “I''m confessing my feelings to you and proposing marriage,” Harlow said, pretending to be sincere.


    Mnie’s calm eyes held a hint of disgust. “Are you sure you’re not proposing to the wrong person?”


    “I''m sure of the person I’ve chosen.” Harlow shamelessly said with a smile.


    Mnie smirked. “You should keep these things for the women you keep in your room. Don’t they


    change all the time?”


    “They aren’t worthy!” Harlow’s eyes shed with disdain. “Only you are worthy of these things I''ve


    prepared.”


    Mnie scoffed. “I’m afraid that if | ept, you''ll regret it.”


    “Will you ept?”


    “| won''t!” Mnie said indifferently. “Mr. York, | advise you to behave yourself.”


    “I''m pursuing my true love. Pursuing love requires humility, doesn’t it?”


    As Harlow spoke, he stood and approached Mnie. “Give me a chance, and I''ll prove to you that


    lll truly treat you well.”


    As Harlow reached for her hand, another strong hand grabbed his wrist before Mnie could react. Then, the person and


    pushed Harlow back with a slight force.


    Jeffrey...


    Seeing Jeffrey swiftly step forward and use his body to shield her from the false and pretentious


    man, Mnie’s pounding heart slowly steadied.


    As long as Jeffrey


    was there, there was nothing to fear.
