Chapter 143: The Way Ordinary People Fall in Love
Could it be that as she had been betrayed by Grayson, she was habitually suspicious of all men and
thought that a rich man with good marriage conditions like him would treat on her in the end?
She really didn’t know him well. Were he and Grayson of the same kind of people?
Ernest was a little upset and even had the impulse to find out Grayson out and give him a hard clout.
Seeing Ernest''s sullen and gloomy face, Florence subconsciously felt a little bit guilty. Fearing that he
would suddenly get angry or do other things to her, she subconsciously wanted to distance herself
away from him in case that he would vent his anger on her.
Florence nned to go out. But just as she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Anthony standing at
the door.
He stood at the door straightly and it looked like that he had stood there for a long while.
Florence was a bit stunned and asked without a second thought, "Mr. Brooks, how long have you been
here?"
Being discovered, a touch of awkwardness shed across Anthony''s face.
He replied solemnly, "Not so long. But I witness the whole process of Mr. Hawkins’ proposal and knew
that he was refused again."
Florence was rendered speechless.
Ernest''s face instantly became even gloomier.
During the past 20 more years, he had never failed to get what he wanted and had achieved all his
goals. However, he experienced failure for the first time because he had put great efforts in preparing
the proposal but Florence refused him in the end.
Nevertheless, he had shown great resilience in the face of these obstacles recently, and had been
rejected by Florence several times.
He almost ustomed to it.
Even the anger and depression that surged in his heart after being rejected for the first time didn’t show
up again...
The atmosphere became embarrassing. Anthony touched his nose and said, "Ahem, today''s press
conference hase to a sessful conclusion, so I prepared a celebration banquet which will be
held in the evening. It’s almost the time and we should go there."
"Oh, okay."
Florence quickly agreed as it was really a bit awkward for her to stay here now.
So she took the lead to go out.
Ernest''s expression was so hideous. He shot a cold nce at Anthony and then walked out.
Anthony felt his heart missing one beat and his back broke out in cold sweats when he realized that he
seemed to have offended Ernest just now.
Although Ernest was his brother, Anthony knew deep down that Ernest was mean and his way of doing
things was quite inhumane. So Ernest would definitely find a chance to retaliate against himter.
Since that was the case…
Anthony hurriedly walked to Ernest''s side and whispered, “I agree with you. Florence has no reasons to
reject you. She may have already fallen for you, but she doesn’t dare to ept it at present. It’s
probably because you are too noble. When a man was too outstanding, a woman will fear that she
cannot handle with him. Moreover, the social morality in this aspect is poor as many dudes often hook
up with several women at the same time and marital infidelity is so normal.”
So he would not be epted by Florence simply because of his family background and social status?
Ernest''s face became more hideous and his gaze towards Anthony turned exceptionally cold.
“You’d better shut up.”
Anthony was rendered speechless. He analyzed the situation for him out of kindness, but why Ernest
felt offended again?
It was really hard to be a kind man nowadays, and it was even harder to be a thoughtful brother.
But if things continued to progress like this, Ernest would definitely take revenge on him in the future.
Therefore, Anthony braced himself under Ernest’s cold gaze and continued, “Ernest, the old saying
goes like this: the onlookers see the most of the game. Moreover, I rtively have abundant
experience in the romance. If you want to win Florence’s heart, you have to change yourself.”
Ernest curled his lips into a straight line and said nothing.
Anthony immediately continued, "You have to humble yourself and try to be an ordinary person. You
can do something romantic that ordinary couple always does during a date, like watching movies,
shopping, and going to the amusement park… Something like these. You should make Florence feel
that although you have a high social status, you’re still an ordinary man.”

Ernest''s eyes lit up.
Watching movie? What he watched had always been the fluctuations in the stock market.
Shopping? All of his things were customized and were delivered to his home directly.
Going to the amusement park? He didn’t even know what an amusement park was.
Anthony thought that his idea was very wonderful and looked at Ernest with anticipation, “My ideas are
definitely feasible. Would you like to have a try?”
‘If you ept my ideas, please don’t take revenge on meter.’ Anthony added inwardly.
Ernest shot a cold nce at him and squeezed out two words with disdain, “Childish.”
Anthony was rendered speechless.
The celebration banquet was held in a super 5-star hotel under the control of the Hawkins Group.
Naturally, they booked the whole hotel.
Those who came were all people attending the celebration banquet.
At the moment, Charlotte was arguing with a security guard angrily at the entrance of the hotel.
"I''m really Florence''s sister and Ie to celebrate for my sister’s sess. Please let me in."
The security guard stood at the door with a serious face.
"Miss, I''m sorry, you don’t have an invitation letter, so we can''t let you in."
They could not allow anyone irrelevant toe into the hotel now.
"My sister is the protagonist for today’s banquet. She invited me to attend the banquet. Why do I need
an invitation letter? Can''t you be flexible?"
"This is our duty. Please leave, Miss."
The security guard''s face became more serious, and his tone got cold as he intended to drive Charlotte
away directly.
Charlotte was infuriated. She got to know the venue for tonight''s celebration banquet with great efforts.
But she hadn’t expected that she would be blocked by the security guard at the entrance.
These people were as blind as bats.
“I will definitely teach them a lesson after marrying Ernest!” Charlotte thought to herself angrily.
She then turned around and produced her phone to call Florence.
The call was connected after a long while.
The moment Florence answered the call, Charlotte hurriedly said, "Sister, I''m at the entrance of the
hotel of your celebration banquet, but the security guard refused to let me in because I don’t have an
invitation letter. So pleasee to the entrance to take me in."
Florence, who was at the other end of the phone, hesitated for a while and then replied, “Howes
that youe to this hotel.”
“I felt delighted when seeing the news that your press conference was aplete sess so I came
here to celebrate it for you. It’s such a big event, and with I, your sister, by your side, it will be more
complete.”
“But the attendees are all my colleagues and partners and you don’t know them. How about this? You
cane back first and celebrate it for me when Ie back.”
“But I’m now at the entrance of the hotel and I don’t have the key for the vi…” Charlotte said with
grievance and it sounded like she was going to cry.
Florence was in a dilemma.
A touch of gloominess shed across Charlotte''s face. Florence didn’t want to recognize her as her
sister after bing popr and entering the upper ss? She thought that she was a shame to her?
The more Charlotte thought about this, the more envious she became. Her voice became more
aggrieved, “Sister, I don’t know where to go and I haven’t had dinner yet.”
Florence sighed and said to the other person.
She then said to Charlotte, “Thene to my celebration banquet. I will ask Shirley to take you in.”
Let someone else to take her in?
Charlotte felt ufortable again. Florence really became arrogant now and she even refused to
come out to pick her up in person.
However, although she bore such thought in mind, she still replied in a sweet voice, “Okay.”
