In the room of the Brown family’s villa.

“Master Aren, it’s Luke.”

“Come in!”

Aren sat beside a table and looked at the thick file in his hand with full attention. From time to time, he would sign a few names on the file. In his hand was a shiny old fountain pen. Without looking up, he asked coldly, “Did you take care of the thing I asked you to do?”

“Sir, everything has been done according to your instructions.” Luke walked in and nodded at Aren.

As Aren’s only assistant, Luke was tasked with handling most of the things for him. To be precise, he was actually more like a nanny to him than an assistant because he was in charge of pretty much everything in his life.

However, for some reason, this time what Aren wanted him to do was a little strange…

Although he was confused, Luke still prepared everything according to his instructions and was waiting for his next order. But what exactly did he want…? Luke had no clue.

“From tomorrow onwards, you will distribute the invitations. I want everyone in New York to attend this banquet. Tomorrow, I want everyone to know that Young Master Brown is getting engaged!”

Aren raised his eyes and said fiercely, “Remember, I want this banquet to be as grand as it can possibly be.”

“Yes, sir!” Luke shuddered the moment his eyes met Aren’s.

Young Master’s aura was getting stronger and stronger!

In a few days, Young Master would be engaged. If only his parents were still alive, he wouldn’t need to carry the world on his shoulder alone.

Sigh, everyone had their own difficulties.

After getting the instructions, Luke immediately turned around to go. Inside, he admired his master tremendously for his hard work over the years. He wanted to complete his instruction without a hitch so as to help him reduce the burden.

He passed through the villa and drove towards the media outlet.

The next morning, in the living room of Wilson’s house.

“Maria, did you sleep well? You’ll be attending Master Aren’s banquet in a few days. You have to rest up. It’ll probably be a turning point for our family.” Mrs. Wilson smiled as she watched her daughter walk into the living room.

“Yes, Mother. I slept very well.”

Maria was excited at the thought of the banquet in a few days. She walked quickly through the living room door and pulled a stool out from under the large table to sit.

On the other hand, Wilson had a pair of reading glasses on his nose. He frowned as he looked at the morning paper in front of him. As usual, he would mutter from time to time, “The economy is really getting worse and worse… Tornado…”

Meanwhile, the mother and daughter were chatting casually.

“Good morning, Father, Mother, and Sister!

After Jocelyn washed up, she walked to the living room and greeted everyone.

“Humph!” Maria glanced at her from the corner of her eye and said, “How despicable of you to make the entire family wait for you.”

“Sorry, I couldn’t find my file just now, so…” As Jocelyn slowly walked over, she explained seriously. Her expression was the same as usual, but deep down, she was calm and composed, making her look even more elegant.

Maria looked at her slender neck, which was like a swan, with jealousy. Even Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting beside her, was stunned.

Her body shape as she walked was truly pleasing to the eye. Looking at her as she came out, every man would be infatuated.

“Damn it! Why is she becoming more and more beautiful?” A sinister look flashed across Maria’s eyes. She stabbed her fingernails deep into her palm and looked at Jocelyn fiercely. If looks could kill, Jocelyn would have died a thousand times over. The indignation in her heart was like a burning coal that was burning fiercely.

“What? Aren will announce his marriage in this banquet!” A voice suddenly sounded from the side. Mr. Wilson leaped up from his stool, his fingers tightly grabbing a newspaper as he announced loudly. There was a hint of confusion in his voice.

Hearing that, Maria immediately widened her eyes in surprise. This banquet was an engagement banquet, which was meant for Young Master Aren to announce he was already engaged to someone.

To this day, she was the one who had the closest relationship with Master Aren. Thinking of this, Maria became energetic, as if all her bad mood had been dispelled.

Looking at the people in the hall, Jocelyn smiled faintly, so faint that no one noticed it..
