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 past 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?”Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
