Chapter 175 Your Future Wife Is Here
On that day, many people knew that the Solace family planned an arranged marriage with Margaret, the daughter of the Ziegler family.
Due to the circumstances, those who initially looked down on Quincy and Margaret had to take the initiative to butter the duo up.
Quincy smiled and said. “You’re flattering me, Mrs. Collins!”
As she glanced at the young girl beside Everley, she pulled the shawl over her shoulders and smiled before adding. “Ms. Collins is pretty too. It’s just that her cheeks are a little puffy. Nowadays, plastic surgery is quite popular. Mrs. Collins, you can consider taking her to facial contouring surgery!”
Everley and her daughter’s faces immediately darkened when they heard Quincy’s remark. If it were in the past. Everley would have already fought back.
Quincy snorted inwardly, “Mrs. Collins has been deprecating me a lot, and now I finally get to give her a taste of her own medicine.”
Not far away. Joyce and Layla were attending to the guests
When Quincy caught a glimpse of that, she behaved as if she was the lady of the house and said to Everley, “Mrs. Collins, Ms. Collins, make yourselves at home. Do help yourself. Enjoy the food and drinks and have fun. I have something to talk about with Joyce, so I’ll take Marge over first.”
Everley said nothing, her face cold.
Quincy didn’t care much about it and smiled elegantly before taking Margaret to approach Joyce and Layla. While watching Quincy and Margaret leave, Everley snorted coldly.
Meanwhile, other women standing a few steps away heard their conversation. After Quincy and her daughter left, they came over to Everley and sneered, “I wonder what kind of taste Mr. Solace has. How could he fall in love with this kind of girl?”
Everley glanced over and sneered, “Well, now that she’s in that position, she’s acting all high and mighty. When she topples one day, she will end up in a more miserable state. Let’s wait and see!”
In the meantime, Joyce and Layla were talking to a woman of similar age. The lady’s husband had business dealings with Solace Corporation, and Joyce, Layla, and the lady were all familiar with each other, so they were immersed in the chat. Thus, they didn’t notice Quincy and Margaret coming to them.
“Joyce, Layla”
Quincy’s voice suddenly intervened, interrupting the three of them.
The three looked in the direction of Quincy and her daughter
Quincy glanced at the woman next to Joyce and Layla and noticed she was dressed plainly and didn’t wear any accessories. With that, she withdrew her gaze and turned around to smile at Joyce and Layla. “Why didn’t I see Mr Solace and Mrs Solace?” she asked.
Joyce answered with a smile, “Winnie is not feeling well, and Zachary is accompanying her to rest in the room. They’ll come downstairs when the banquet starts.”
Quincy replied, “That’s good. Since there are so many guests today. Mrs. Solace should get some rest.” Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to look at Margaret beside her. She reprimanded softly, “Marge, you’re an adult. How could you not greet people?”
Margaret glanced at her mother and then at Joyce and Layla. After a pause, she greeted obediently, “Joyce, Layla”
Joyce maintained a decent, polite smile and nodded to Margaret.
Meanwhile, Layla frowned slightly. She appeared somewhat cold, yet she didn’t say anything.
On the contrary, the woman who was chatting with Joyce and Layla was a little surprised when she saw the interaction between the duo and Margaret.
She thought, “It seems that the rumor is true. Ms. Zielger is really going to get engaged to Mr. Christopher Solace
“Mrs. Solace, Ms. Solace, please excuse me. I’m going to the bathroom.”
The woman was sensible enough to make an excuse to leave.
Joyce looked at Quincy and asked politely, “Mrs Ziegler, is anything the matter?”
Quincy was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately smiled and responded, “Joyce, don’t call me Mrs. Ziegler. We’re going to be family soon. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Joyce merely looked at Quincy with a smile and remained silent.
Quincy felt slightly restless and anxious by Joyce’s gaze, which made the former instantly forget the words she planned to say. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, she pushed Margaret forward before uttering. “Well, Marge and I have been here for a while Marge wants to meet Chris Where is Chris?”
Joyce looked around and saw Christopher, Raymond, and Leonard together while Leonard’s mother, Rosalyn, was beside them.
The Fuller and the Quinn families had always been in a good relationship with the Solace family. There were too many guests that day, so Joyce and Layla were too busy attending to them Since Rosalyn had already arrived for some time, it would be unreasonable for the duo to have yet to greet the former
Before Joyce could speak, Margaret saw Christopher first. She couldn’t help but say excitedly. “Christopher is over there!”
Quincy followed her gaze and looked at him. In fact, it was the first time she had seen Christopher in real life In the previous video, his hair was long and dyed, looking like a gangster And now, he had cut his hair, which made him appear clean and refreshing. He was in an oversized white suit, yet it caused him to look particularly suave and handsome.
Upon seeing that, Quincy mused, “My daughter indeed has good taste.”
“Calm down. As a lady, you have to be reserved!” Quincy laughed, then looked at Joyce and Layla and claimed, “Joyce, Layla, please don’t laugh at her. My daughter is devoted to Chris. For the past few days, she’s been talking my ears off about him!”
“Mom!” Margaret tugged at Quincy sheepishly before she looked at Christopher in the crowd reluctantly and whispered, “Mom, I want to see Christopher!”
Quincy glanced at her daughter pretentiously and replied in a motherly manner, “Fine, go ahead. Behave yourself Don’t forget that today is Mr. Solace’s birthday!”
“Got it!” Margaret was overjoyed “Joyce, Layla, I’m going over to Christopher!”
With that said, Margaret lifted the hem of her dress while walking toward Christopher.
After Margaret left, Quincy remembered her thoughts from earlier and took the initiative to speak. “Joyce, you two must be too busy to handle everything, as there are so many guests today. Since I’m
free, how about I help you guys entertain guests?”
“No need for that.”
This time, Layla was the one who talked.
She looked at Quincy indifferently and uttered, “Mrs. Ziegler, you’re a guest. You shouldn’t busy yourself with that. If you need anything, you can tell the hotel staff. Joyce and I have things to do. Please forgive me for my negligence, Mrs. Ziegler.”
After that, without giving Quincy a chance to speak, Layla took Joyce and walked toward Rosalyn.
Joyce glanced at Layla and said with a smile, “What a temper!”
Layla shot a glance at Quincy, who was standing on the spot in a daze, and commented mockingly. “Mom is right. Mrs. Ziegler is undoubtedly weird!”
As Margaret approached, she called out gently, “Christopher!”
Hearing that, Raymond looked over at Margaret first and smirked meaningfully. Then he glanced at Christopher mockingly before uttering, “Chris, your future wife is here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Christopher kicked him.
Margaret couldn’t help smiling shyly. She slowly moved next to Christopher and stood side by side with him.
As Christopher glanced at her, his expression turned grimmer. When he was about to find an excuse to leave,
he saw Joyce and Layla walking over.
