Losing control…
When she saw the looks of everyone around, even a mentally challenged will understand what Michael meant. Her small face became red hot and was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to wriggle.
Was Master Williams shouldering the blame for her? But why didn’t he think of a more usual excuse? She wanted to escape, but Michael held her tightly in his arms, not allowing her to move.
Her embarrassed looks made what he said even more convincing.
Though Grandma Williams was advanced in age, her grandson made her giggle like a teenager.
She was uneasy a moment ago, but now she was smiling from ear to ear.
She was pleased to see that their relationship is good. That raised her spirits.
Grandfather Williams, who was fuming a moment ago, felt much better when he saw that his wife was in good spirits.
He looked at Michael with a trace of blame. How can he say such things in a public event such as this? Does he have no shame?
But, his eldest grandson was authoritative. No matter what he said, he will still command respect and acceptance.
Even he, as an elder of the family, was proud of his grandson’s stature.
The MC was stunned for a couple of seconds and, in an attempt to control the atmosphere, said, “Master and Missus Williams are truly loving towards each other!”
He adjusted his expression and laughed, “Everyone waited so long for this moment, now our honorable Patriarch Williams will officiate this engagement…”
The mood on the stage was pleasant. Both Patriarch and Master Williams were men of few words. But, the guests started to be rowdy.
Elena was in a daze when she placed the engagement ring on Michael’s finger.
The event was like her wedding night in her previous life.
Similarly, Michael placed the ring onto her ring finger. The ring was chilly, without a trace of temperature.
Today, different fingers and different ring design was being placed by him on her finger.
She had a warm feeling. Was it due to Michael’s presence, or was it his protection tonight?
No matter why Layla was alive and that she was successfully engaged to Michael, her current life was utterly different from her previous life.
This was a new beginning, a new life.
Suddenly her waist tightened up and she was carried up by Michael.
Elena was stunned, she grabbed his clothes, “Master Williams…”
“I’m sorry my girl is too tired. I’m going to take her home now. Please enjoy yourselves.”
Once he finished, he carried her down the stage and walked directly towards the exit without looking back.
The grandparents followed closely behind.
Though there were still members of the Williams family, at this hour, everyone just wanted to go home to rest. Everyone started to shuffle out of the hotel.
Only one person remained standing in position and looked on as Michael carried Elena out. Her fists were clenched tightly and in deep thoughts.
“Isn’t this our number one socialite, second daughter of the Garcia family?” Someone laughed from behind.
Ava composed herself and turned around with her signature smile, “How do you do?”
“Aren’t you very fond of Master Williams?” Another lady stared at her, “And I heard that she found someone to beat you up because Master Williams likes you.”
“No, it wasn’t like that, Elena was just a little strong-headed…”
“Is your sister strong-headed, or was it you who fabricated facts to slander others?”
That lady scoffed in disgust, “Everyone could see that Master Williams loves your sister!”
Even if you disregard what he said about his `losing control’, at the stage, he was very affectionate towards Elena. Everyone could see it.
Furthermore, so as not to let his girl get too tired, he even carried her when they left.
Which girl has received such privilege? Additionally, Master Williams was never close to any other girl.
“He is your sister’s fiance, what’s the meaning of you individually toasting him wine? Are you trying to wedge between them?”
Another lady walked over condescendingly, looking at Ava’s face, “I wondered today’s massive news about the number one socialite being slapped by Elena.”
“Why?”
“Someone is trying to use this event to gain some pity, can’t you all see it?”
“Oh, that’s the reason. This woman is so evil, she desires her sister’s fiance and wants to use all sorts of means to seduce Master Williams?”
“To think that you look so elegant and decent, how can you be so evil?”
These few women continued to move forward and forced Ava to retreat a couple of steps.
“I didn’t. You are mistaken. I don’t know what was spreading on social media.”
When these women gang up, they are truly frightening.
Ava backed off and continued to explain, “I’m Elena’s elder sister. How could I harm her? Our relationship has always been very good, you’ve misunderstood.”
“Oh, really? Then why did you offer Master Williams a drink? What’s the meaning of that?”
“I’m just trying to…”
“Trying to win Master Williams over? Snatch your sister’s fiance! Ha, ha, ha… slut!”
Everyone was sniping at Ava not allowing her a chance to rebut.
“You’ve wrongly accused me! I really didn’t!” She turned and ran towards the hotel entrance.
In her haste, she ran into a person entering the hotel.
“I’m sorry…” Ava raised her head and didn’t expect that the person she bumped into was Dylan.
She grabbed his sleeve and said, “Dylan, those women… are so vicious!”
She needs a man’s protection! Those venomous women were jealous of her beauty and ganged up against her!
“Dylan, they bullied me…” She saw those women coming out. Ava immediately presented herself as a fragile victim.
Dylan looked on at the women.
They were daughters of the elite families whose status was rather high and beautiful in their own right.
“Master Dylan.” They greeted him sweetly, totally different from their vicious self a moment ago.
“Master Dylan, the banquet is over, why are you still here?” One of the ladies walked to Dylan, flashing her eyelids.
Dylan didn’t even look at Ava but looked at this lady and smiled, “I’m here to send you all home. That’s why I’m still here!”
“Dylan…” Ava was shocked. Didn’t he hear her speak? These vicious women bullied her!
“Ava, you’re here too?” As if Dylan just saw her, he said softly, “I’m sorry, I have to send them back. If you need a ride, you can call for one.”
He looked at the ladies and said, “Ladies, the car is just outside, can I be your driver tonight?”
