Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
Derek Evans said ingratiatingly: “Please wait, I will call her back right away. Mr. Edwin Sutton, why don’t you take her home with you today and let her serve you from now on? She will be yours, and you can have your way with her. But we need that cooperation fund…”
Before he could finish, Mrs. Sutton arrogantly interjected: “Isn’t it just two billion dollars? As long as my son is happy, no amount of money matters. But the prerequisite is whether your daughter can take good care of my son.”
Derek nodded and bowed, then gave Rose Campbell a signal.
Rose promptly said: “Mr. Edwin Sutton, rest assured, I will teach Xaviera well and make sure she serves you well! My younger daughter Mag is engaged to Mr. Moore Mamet, and we are holding a banquet later. If the three of you have time, why don’t you stay for the banquet and take this opportunity to announce the marriage between Mr. Edwin Sutton and Xaviera Evans?”
Thinking of Xaviera’s beautiful appearance, Mr. Edwin Sutton’s eyes narrowed into a slit, and he laughed lewdly: “Good! Very good!”
In the afternoon, the Evans family held a banquet in their villa.
Those who attended the banquet were close associates of the Evans family. It was supposed to be a banquet, but it was actually just to announce a wedding date.
Derek Evans was over the moon. “Thank you all for attending this banquet. I suppose you all know that there have been some false rumors circulating online recently. Fortunately, they did not affect Moore and Mag’s marriage. Their wedding is set for the 5th of next month, and I hope you will all attend.”
Although Mag Evans’s public image had crumbled and she couldn’t enter the entertainment industry, she was marrying Mr. Mamet after all, and would be in charge of the Evans family’s business in the future. They didn’t dare to offend her.
“In addition, there is another happy event.” Derek Evans spoke again.
“Double happiness, indeed. My eldest daughter, Xaviera, will also hold her wedding next month!”
The crowd was puzzled. Xaviera was getting married? They didn’t know she had a boyfriend.
Just as everyone was confused, Derek announced loudly: “My eldest daughter, Xaviera, is engaged to Mr. Edwin Sutton of the Sutton family and will get married next month.”
The room went silent. Under the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze, Edwin staggered up onto the stage, his eyes narrowing into a slit and his cheek muscles twitching, “Xaviera is my fiancée, she’s mine…”
“Heh! What a joke. I didn’t know I was supposed to marry Mr. Edwin Sutton!”
At this moment, a cold female voice came from outside the door, and the next second, the door was pushed open violently.
Xaviera stood at the entrance, scanning the crowd before finally fixing her gaze on Edwin, her eyes filled with disgust. She couldn’t bear to look at him for even a second longer.
She wore a long trench coat, exuding an overwhelming aura as she walked in. She laughed coldly: “When did I decide to get married?”
Her rhetorical question made everyone suck in a breath of air.
When Edwin first saw Xaviera, his eyes filled with lewdness and lust, and drool almost dripped from his mouth.
Mrs. Sutton looked at her son’s smitten expression and couldn’t help but frown. This Xaviera was too beautiful. She might be suitable as a mistress, but not as the lady of the Sutton family.
She snorted: “Mr. Evans, you’ve always bragged about how intelligent and beautiful your daughter is, but she’s nothing special. She doesn’t even greet us when she walks through the door. How rude!”
Mr. Sutton frowned, “Indeed, she’s a bit impolite. But I’ve heard that she single-handedly founded the Moore Group, and the company’s veterans praise her capabilities. After marrying into our Sutton family, she’ll also do her best to help our son manage the company.”
Mrs. Sutton found Xaviera more and more displeasing, “Humph! If it weren’t for my son taking a liking to you, I would never allow a woman like you into our family. But you do have some skills and can help our son manage the company. I’m telling you, the company is my son’s, and it has nothing to do with you. Just do your own job!”
“As the young mistress of the Sutton family, your primary task is to serve my son well. Secondly, you need to have children for our Sutton family, show filial piety to your parents-in-law, and manage the company. Only then can you say that you’ve married up into the Sutton family.”
Xaviera shook her head helplessly. Why were some people so shameless and still so self-righteous?
