Chapter 127
Chapter 127 “Come over here, Nigel. I’d like you to meet Mr. Johnson, his wife, and his only daughter, Leah. Youguys met when you were younger.” Nigel’s father, Jonathan Manson, chuckled as he glanced at theother family’s daughter with a fond and loving gaze. “Yeah! You guys brought Nigel over during Leah’s 100-day-old party. Nigel was only two years old then!We already had the idea of matching them since,” Johnson’s wife uttered with a sweet smile. “Exactly! Their age difference is just perfect.” Joy appeared in Brenda’s-Nigel’s mother-eyes as shelooked at Leah. Brenda was wholly satisfied with this idea. Both Brenda and Jonathan had Leah astheir first choice in mind. Leah’s parents were powerful people in the food industry, and they had a lot ofpartnerships with hotel businesses. If Nigel took over the business, he’d be able to receive supportfrom Leah’s family. So, the most ideal plan was to matchmake them and unite their families, so thatthey could both help each other double and triple their revenue! Nigel would no longer have to worry about a lack of support in his career as he would have anextremely powerful father-in-law! Leah’s parents shared the same thoughts, and they figured that bothfamilies would only grow stronger once they combined their resources. Furthermore, Leah’s familywouldn’t have to worry about finding another inheritor for their business because they were satisfiedwith Nigel’s capabilities.
“It’s been a while, Nigel!” Leah gave him a friendly greeting. This wasn’t the first time they had meteach other. They were both club members of some overseas racing club, and Leah had fallen in lovewith Nigel the first time she saw him. It was love at first sight-she even followed him back to the countryafter he left. Most importantly, Leah was overjoyed to find out that both her and Nigel’s parents weresupportive of the relationship. “It’s been a while, Leah. Thank you for coming to my grandmother’s party, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.” Nigelspoke in a polite tone. “It’s our pleasure and honor to be able to attend this party.” The Hart couple had come over just so thattheir children could meet up during the party. “Why don’t you show Leah to the buffet area for somenovelbin
food, Nigel? Us old ones will be here catching up with each other.” Brenda shot her son a look. Nigel was exasperated deep down, but he maintained a polite expression on his face. “Okay, Mom.”Nigel brought Leah out of the hall and toward the buffet area. After Leah got some food, Nigel seizedthis opportunity to escape. “I have other matters to handle, Leah! You enjoy your meal, alright?” Leah immediately stared at him with a look of disappointment. She had spent the whole day preparingand dolling herself up for the party, yet Nigel barely looked at her. That hurt her heart more than ever.However, when she recalled how both families’ parents were willing to matchmake them, she felt a littlebetter. She had no need to rush since she was going to be the Manson’s daughter-in-law eventually. “That was Old Madam Presgrave’s grandson, wasn’t he? He looks stunning!” someone uttered. “Yeah,I heard that there have been a large number of ladies from rich families who are circling the two youngmasters! I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to get married to him and be a part of their family,”another said. A confident smirk formed on Leah’s lips after she heard the conversations. I’m one of those lucky girls,she thought. No one else will ever have enough power and resources to take Nigel away from me. Meanwhile, Nigel had just arrived at the PA system room. The host of the night happened to be there.“I’m going to propose to a girl later, and I need your help,” Nigel said.“When are you doing it? I’ll prepare everything for you right now,” the staff member replied. “Ten minutes later, I’d like you to call Anastasia’s name and get her on stage. Then, you guys canprepare the music and lighting. Take this USB; I’ve prepared a video that I edited, and you can play iton the big stream. It goes well with romantic songs,” Nigel explained. “We got your back, Young Master Nigel!” they cried. Once Nigel was done, he left with a satisfied smileon his face. My proposal is going to start in ten minutes, he thought as he pulled the diamond ring outof his pocket. It wasn’t in a box, but the shining surface and the rainbow-like reflections made it clearthat it was expensive. Meanwhile, Anastasia and Harriet had separated. Earlier, Harriet told Anastasia to stay past 9.00PM,so Anastasia decided to follow Harriet’s wishes. I’ll wait here until it’s past 9.00PM! Anastasia walkedover to a quieter spot before she heard a malicious female voice sneering at her. “Your mother only
passed away due to her work back then, Anastasia. Are you really expecting the Presgrave Family tocontinue repaying you?”
