“Finally got rid of this bad luck,” Russell smiled. “Mr. Duncan, there’s no need for your men to do anything. This thing isn’t worthy of wreaking havoc inside your villa.”
Frank nodded proudly. “Indeed, this villa of mine isn’t open to just anyone.”
Georgia’s eyes rolled as she smirked, picking up the keys from the ground. “Oh, Charlotte, seems like your husband bought you a grand villa, even more expensive than Mr. Duncan’s? I’d love to see the luxury of this villa.”
She wasn’t going to let Charlotte off that easily. Today, she must make her utterly embarrassed!
“Give it back!” Charlotte’s face darkened. These were the items Quentin had given her, and this woman had no right to hold them!
“Give it back to you?” Georgia sneered coldly. “What’s the rush? I don’t mean anything by it. I just want to see if this key can open the door of Villa One later.”
The crowd immediately burst into mocking laughter.
Emery and Emma’s faces turned hot with embarrassment, resentment, and shame surging within them…
Quentin had truly caused a disaster this time!
Not only did he embarrass himself, but the entire family had become a laughingstock!
“Give it back to me!”
Charlotte’s face was frosty.
Emma, with an expression of exasperation, said, “What do you want with this useless thing? Mr. Duncan is right here in front of you. If you wish, you could have a real villa key in a minute.”
Frank immediately stepped forward and said, “Charlotte, what’s so good about this fake key? I’ll give you a real one.”
With a wave of his hand, a large group of people in suits, holding a large bouquet of flowers, stepped inside. They stood on both sides of the door from the moment they entered.
Upon seeing this, the other guests immediately stepped aside…
Looks like there’s a good show to watch today!
Especially those women, their envious gazes were fixed on Charlotte.
Mr. Duncan was about to propose!
When could such a good thing fall into their laps? Unfortunately, they knew that they were merely wishful thinkers.
Charlotte was filled with panic.
Frank walked over with a bouquet of flowers, wearing a smile. “Charlotte, on this special day, will you marry me?”
“As long as you nod, this entire villa will be your dowry!”
“Whatever you want, I can give it to you!”
“I will give you the most romantic wedding in the world!”
“Whatever you desire, I will give it to you…”
Frank’s emotional confession prompted a chorus of gasps from the audience, especially the women, whose eyes were gleaming with envy.
“Truly worthy of Mr. Duncan! Giving away a villa worth tens of millions just like that!”
“So romantic!”
“Together! Together!”
The shouts echoed through the entire hall, leaving Charlotte standing alone in a daze, her face a mix of astonishment, embarrassment, and a hint of anger…
Emma’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the key hanging from Frank’s hand.
Russell also stood up with a smile, announcing to everyone, “Alright, alright!”
“On this special day, I, Russell, head of the Pittman family and Charlotte’s grandfather, officially betroth my granddaughter Charlotte to the great son of the Duncan family, Frank!”
“Applaud everyone, and congratulate this couple!”
Applause thundered through the room.
The atmosphere immediately heated up.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte suddenly became furious. “Grandfather, what nonsense are you spouting?”
“I won’t marry!”
Russell’s face darkened as he rebuked, “With so many friends and relatives here today, and Mr. Duncan making such a solemn proposal to you, isn’t that sincere enough?”
“It’s worth over a hundred million!”
“Moreover, you’re a member of the Pittman family, and I’m the head of the Pittman family, I have the right to decide your marriage matters.”
“You have no right to object!”
Emma also urged, “Yes, Charlotte, just get married. Mr. Duncan is wonderful!”
She took the key and said with a forced smile, “Mr. Duncan, Charlotte is being foolish. We understand. I’ll take this dowry on her behalf…”
“Slap!”
Furious, Charlotte swatted the key out of Emma’s hand, sending it clattering to the ground…
“I-won’t-marry-”
Russell froze on the spot.
Frank’s face turned ashen.
Charlotte’s actions felt like a slap to his face!
