‘Why isn’t Mag Evans marrying instead? She’s also a daughter of the Evans family.”
Rose Campbell’s face showed her displeasure: “Mag is already engaged to Moore, and she’s supposed to marry someone from the Mamet family. You don’t have a boyfriend or a husband, so it’s perfect for you to marry Mr. Duke and help the Evans family out of this urgent situation. Besides, with your reputation, you wouldn’t be able to marry anyway. We’re helping you find a good match.”
Derek Evans was impatient, “Mag is as pure as ice and jade, and you don’t even deserve to carry her shoes. It’s your duty to marry Mr. Duke!”
After saying that, he rudely dragged Xaviera and forcibly took her into a room, locking the door.
“You just wait here obediently. When Mr. Duke comes later, you better behave yourself. If you dare to resist, you’ll see what happens!”
Derek left a threatening remark, and swaggered away with Rose and Mag.
Xaviera glanced around the surroundings, which were not too bad, so she lay down on the bed to rest for a while and then made a phone call. “Miss Xaviera, it’s all been recorded, and the picture is very clear.”
Xaviera gave a faint smile: “Very good.”
The person on the phone shivered: “Miss Xav…Miss Xaviera, all the attendees of Mr. Caleb’s banquet are celebrities from Libanan. Please don’t cause a life-threatening scene!”
Xaviera:
She helplessly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll hold back.”
At the banquet downstairs, Mag pretended to be worried, “Dad, knowing my sister’s temper, she won’t agree to this. Isn’t it a bit too much to force her like this?”
“Mag, why do you care about her? She has never been a good person, always messing around outside. Since she’s going to be slept with anyway, she might as well be useful and marrying Mr. Duke should be her honor!”
Rose immediately retorted, with Derek speaking gently by her side: “Mag, you don’t have to worry about her. Just perform well at the banquet later, and try to please the young lady from Fragrant House if you meet her.”
Rose added: “Yes, Mag, the banquet today is held for the young ladies of Fragrant House. If you can get on good terms with them, it will be beneficial for the company. After Xaviera marries Mr. Duke, she will be a wealthy wife and won’t be able to go out, then she won’t disturb you anymore.”
Mag obediently nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up in a victorious smile.
She had already heard about Mr. Duke. He was an old rascal with a violent tendency. If Xaviera married him, she would definitely be tormented to death.
From now on, there would be a huge change in the lives of the sisters!
Guests were entering one after another, and the banquet was about to officially begin.
Mag was very excited. This was her first time attending such a grand event, and she felt that everything was novel and fresh.
“Mr. Evans, I heard that your eldest daughter is also here, but why haven’t we seen her?”
Someone asked curiously at that time. They all knew Derek Evans had two daughters and wanted to meet his rumored eldest daughter.
Albert Sullivan also asked, “Mr. Evans, where did Xaviera go?”
Derek was a bit embarrassed and pretended to be helpless: “She was here just now, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye. This child really worries me. The banquet is about to start, and I don’t know where she went to fool around!” Mag hesitated to speak, “I know… It seems that my sister went upstairs.” Upstairs? Those were suites. What was she doing there?
Mag hesitated for a moment, looking troubled: “I saw her following…no, don’t get me wrong, I don’t know!”
She widened her eyes, looking innocent, as if she had accidentally let something slip.
Albert approached and whispered, “Miss Evans, is there something you can’t tell us?”
Speak! How can the play continue if you don’t speak?
Mag looked a bit scared, her face filled with hesitation, and after a moment, she said.
“My sister followed a man upstairs. I’m so afraid that she’s in danger!”
Derek also feigned worry: “My eldest daughter has never attended such a grand banquet before. She might be in trouble. I better hurry up and find her!”
His face was filled with worry, but a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. In front of everyone, he was indeed worried about his daughter.
But as soon as everyone went upstairs, they would find Xaviera messing around with Mr. Duke. By then….
