Chapter 5
“I saw Mr. Elliott hasten in. I think there may have been a distinguished guest”
“You know, Mr. Elliott is like the richest guy in our city, so I find it hard to believe that not even someone as powerful as Mr. Kaiser could make him act like that.”
“Word on the street is that every big wheel in this city headed to the airport to welcome a true VIP, and even Mr. Kaiser was there with his
“Geez, this
person must be a big deal! Could it be that he’s coming here to eat?”
“I reckon that if Mr. Ellion is that worried, it’s gotta be someone incredibly important. If our Morales family got to know him, it’d be a great honor.”
In the huge box, the Morales family was all chattering about the big shot
Bun frankly, Elisa didn’t really care since none of it involved her.
Every time Elisa thought about marrying that creep, she felt super grossed out
“Hey, little sis! I heard you already tied the knot with that dude named Garza. Pretty fast. You’re about to meet your future mother–in–law! Feeling a bit nervous, huh? Haha!”
Vince, the young master of the Morales family, approached Elisa with a sneer on his face.
Elisa glared fiercely back at him. She knew full well that she wouldn’t be where she was if it werent for Vince.
She also knew that Vince had a few ulterior motives. Vince didn’t want Elisa to take his place as the next president.
He was just afraid she would become a threat to his position, so he urged Lora Morales, their grandma, to pressure
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any problem at all for Elisa to turn down the marriage.
got what you wanted, so are you happy now?”
“You ge
Elisa spoke coldly after averting her gaze.
Elisa
“I was actually thinking of hooking you up with Mister Kenton, but you didn’t agree, did you! Actually, this is pretty good too. Grandma knew your family didn’t have any dudes, so she recruited a son–in–law for your mother! You guys should be grateful, Jul!”
Vince then burst into laughter and went to discuss the VIP’s identity with the others.
“Old Mrs. Morales is here!”
Suddenly someone shouted, and they saw L
Lora Morales, surrounded by many people, walk in.
Vince, boasting just a second ago, quickly went to help Lora and escorted Lora in.
“I know Vince is always the best, haha.”
Lora was going on and on about how great her grandson was, making Elisa roll her eyes like crazy.
Meanwhile, with Vince’s assistance, Lora made her way to Elisa’s table.
“Elisa, let me tell you something. I’ve already checked the weather report, and in three days itll be a good day for the wedding. So, when we meet with your mother–in–law, we’ll finalize this matter. Get yourself mentally prepared
Lora announced it like it was just a simple heads–up, with no intention of negotiating or anything.
Elisa knew that it was her fate. If fate decided something, there was nothing she could do to fight it.
So, she could only nod obediently. What else could she do
“Elisa, can’t you see how much Grandma cares about you? She handles everything so openly and clearly. Don’t you want to thank her?”
After hearing Lora’s announcement, Vince was thrilled beyond belief.
Elisa was a bit of a threat to him befor
i before, but now Elisa was nothing.
Once she married that creep, it would be like nailing her to the pillar of shame.
What could she possibly use to compete with Vince then? She would truly become the shame of the Morales family.
“Save it. Your husband and mother–in–law are here. Go
Lora said before heading to the head seat.
get them.”
Elisa had no choice but to go outside to get Anthony and his mother. Meanwhile, she cursed Anthony countless times in her mind.
“Hey, Honey! Come and say hello to my mom
Anthony saw Elisa and quickly greeted her with a smile.
Elisa almost died of anger when hearing that
But, to be honest, she never expected her “mother–in–law to be so beautiful and graceful.
Ignoring Anthony, Elisa politely nodded to Leah and said, “Grandma is waiting in the box. Let’s go.”
After saying that, Elisa quickly turned and headed in, trying to escape the awkwardness
“Mom, did you see? Your daughter–in–law
aw got a nice bun.
Anthony said, snickering, which almost made Elisa explode in a fury
So, Elisa hurried her steps, afraid Anthony might say something outrageously inappropriate.
When they entered the box. Anthony and his mother Leah immediately became the center of attention.
Men’s eyes were drawn to Leah They didn’t expect that the woman kicked out of the Garza family could still look so stunning and elegant.
Meanwhile, women’s eyes were on Anthony, wondering why the handsome boy was actually a pervert who molested his sister–in–law,
Some people secretly envied Flisa for finding such a handsome husband.
Leah was used to those kinds of looks, I had been that way since over twenty years ago.
She gracefully led Anthony to meer Lora and said, “Nice to meet you. Old Mrs. Morales.”
Even L
Lora didn’t expect Leah to be such a goddess
She nodded in acknowledgment and said, “You too. Please, have a seat.
At that moment, Anthony appeared very obedient and didn’t say anything. He sat quietly beside Leah,
After the food and drinks arrived, they began to chat and exi
“Mrs. Garza, as you can see, Elisa is an excellent girl. For three years, she didn’t even have any contact with other men while waiting for your son. I know you’ve signed the wedding gifts list, but I’m wondering what engagement gift you have prepared for Elisa
Vince finally saw an opportunity to give the Garzas a hard time,
Both Anthony and his mother had been kicked out of the family, and Anthony spent three years in prison.
What kind of engagement gift could he possibly offer! In reality, Vince just wanted to embarrass them.
Normally, a junior like him wouldn’t speak up in that kind of situation.
However, the Morales didn’t even see Anthony and Leah as human beings, so they didn’t care about the details,
Moreover, if Anthony was to join the Morales family, he had to get used to humiliation.
If he couldn’t handle it, he shouldn’t have accepted the deal.
“Elisa and Anthony have already registered as wife and husband. I don’t have much money, but I do have something for my daughter–in–law. Hope you will like this bangle.”
After speaking, Leah took off the bangle from her night wrist and handed it to Elisa
The bangle was set with a beautiful and translucent emerald gemstone. Its exquisite rarity made it a true treasure that exuded luxury and sophistication.
There were some gem lovers present. People who knew the bangle’s worth couldn’t help but marvel at it.
It must be worth millions! And it was impossible to buy such a thing since it was too rare.
Elisa’s family began to envy Elisa for receiving such an engagement gift
Chapter 5
Vince looked green. He planned to humiliate Anthony and Leah, but it didn’t go as planned.
He continued. “Mrs. Garza, our family has a reputation in Novaria City. We will invite at least thirty to fifty tables of guests for the wedding. It must be a grand wedding. Can you do that for my beloved sister?”
│“Of course. You can make it as grand as you want and invite as many people as you know. We will have our wedding held here”
Anthony said with confidence.
“How cocky the ex–criminal is. Do you know how much y
you need to
to hold a wedding here?”
“He’s talking nonsense. Do you think you can book a table or hold your wedding here with simple money? Never!”
“Even if you’re rich enough, you need to make the reservation for your wedding a month and a half in advance. But you’re getting married in three days!”
“So! I know their boss, Derrick Elliott. I be doing him a favor if I really want to hold my wedding here!”
Anthony said it with a wild tone.
After all. Derrick begged to meet Anthony, If Anthony really held his wedding at Derrick’s place, li would be Derrick’s honor.
But when the Morales heard his tone, they were all triggered, causing a huge uproar,
Derrick Elliott was the richest man in Novaria City
How dared an ex–criminal talk about the richest man in the city like that! Not even Lora could equally talk to Derrick.
The words those people used against Anthony became even more hurtful, as if they could crush Anthony with their mean words
as an ex–criminal acted so cocky:
Elisa sighed, helpless. She wondered why Anthony, as an
As they were criticizing Anthony, the box door opened again.
Carl Pierce, the manager of Medallion Hotel and Derrick’s representative, walked in. Lora and Vince thought Carl came to greet them and were excited.
“Mr. Pierce, may I know.”
Nevertheless, Carl paid them no attention and walked straight past them.
