"Unexpectedly, even the prestigious Williams family in the leading position of the city would stoop to selling their daughter for personal gain to please others!"
"Not to mention sending their own daughter into the fire pit for power and influence. Also, don't forget that I have a marriage contract with Alice Williams!"
"Yes! Even if your Williams family refuses to recognize this marriage contract, as her friend, I can't just stand by and do nothing!"
In the villa of the Williams family in the city, a betrothal banquet is underway.
As the leading family in the local area, it can be seen that the Williams family attaches great importance to this betrothal. The huge courtyard is bustling with people coming and going, decorated with lanterns and colored banners everywhere, presenting a lively and extraordinary scene.
But at this moment, the peaceful and lively atmosphere is disrupted by a young man.
The young man is dressed in the driver's uniform of the Williams family. Although he has an ordinary appearance, he is quite pleasant to look at. At this moment, he is staring at another young man sitting in the distance, facing the gazes of everyone at the banquet.
The Williams family has gone to great lengths for this betrothal banquet. Therefore, all the guests at the banquet are celebrities in the city. They have even invited powerful figures from other cities. All the men are wearing well-fitted suits, and all the women are dressed in exquisite evening gowns.
Among such a group of people, the young man dressed in the driver's uniform stands out and attracts a lot of attention.
"Who is this guy? Wearing the Williams family's work uniform, right? Since when can servants attend such a gathering?"
"Oh, him. I remember. He drove for me once. He's a driver of the Williams family. Seems to be called Alex or something."
"What's going on with the Williams family? How could they even let a driver in?"
"Don't you know? He was originally the driver for Miss Alice Williams. Later, he got into trouble and was detained for a while. Maybe it's because Miss Alice was kind-hearted and let him in."
Several men were chatting and whispering. Apparently, they already regarded Alex as a joke.
Regarding his words, an elder of the Williams family couldn't stand it anymore.
"Alex! You're being presumptuous!"
"How dare you interfere in what my Williams family does? Besides, it's nonsense to say you have a marriage contract with Alice Williams!"
"Everyone knows that you are just a fraudster who holds a piece of rotten paper from a hundred and eighty years ago and wants to marry the daughter of my Williams family! It's only because my family took pity on you for having no job at such an age that we grudgingly kept you to drive for her."
"But you, well, just drive and yet you have such a bad temper, getting into fights every other day!"
"What? Can't get what you want through deception and now you want to ruin everything? I think you just can't bear to see Alice well!!"
The one speaking was Alice's uncle. At this moment, his face turned blue and he looked very ugly. He scolded Alex loudly and brought up some of his past incidents.
Hearing this rebuke, Alex sneered contemptuously:
"Deception? Keeping me just grudgingly to drive?"
"I dare say that among all the people present, only I truly care for Alice! If I weren't here, she would have been sold God knows where by you hypocrites!"
Alex fought for Alice's sake. He believes he has a point.
But a young woman couldn't sit still after hearing this. She immediately stood up and angrily scolded:
"Since you keep claiming that it's for Alice's good, then why didn't you change into a proper outfit? You came to the family banquet wearing the family's work uniform. What would others think?"
"You also shouted and yelled at the banquet, saying bad things about the family everywhere. Is this for her good?"
This banquet is the engagement banquet of the family and a young master from the imperial capital. In other words, at least half of the people here are here for Alice. And Alex was dressed inappropriately and spoke rudely at the banquet. Did this lose her face?
No, this lost the face of the family and Alice.
Many guests shook their heads secretly when they saw that Alex was still arguing plausibly, and all said directly that he was hopeless and had no brain at all.
When everyone said this, Alex then realized something was wrong. His face turned a little pale, but he was still calm.
"Alex! You ungrateful thing. You should have been thrown out in the first place to avoid tarnishing the reputation of my family!"
The family members present also figured it out and began to ridicule Alex all at once.
After such a commotion, the head of the family, Charles, couldn't sit still.
You should know that Alex not only offended the family just now, but also offended the big shot from the imperial capital.
That young master is someone who mustn't be offended.
"Silence!"
As soon as Charles spoke, both the family members and the outsiders fell silent instantly.
It wasn't for any other reason. Charles is over forty years old, in his prime, and has held a high position for a long time. With a glare, he has an imposing manner. Obviously, no one would ignore such a successful person.
"Alex, you came all the way from the mountain to my family. Although you kept claiming that your master and my father once made a marriage contract, the handwriting on the marriage contract you presented has long been illegible. My father is not in the family for the moment, so I told you to wait for him to come back to make a decision."
"Later, I wanted to arrange a good job for you, but you said you wanted to be closer to my daughter and chose to be a driver. After that, you got into trouble repeatedly, and every time I sent someone to rescue you personally."
"Tell me from your heart, how have I treated you?"
Deserved to be the head of the family, his words were imposing, but this couldn't suppress Alex who came down from the mountain.
"To be fair! The family has treated me well! But as Alice's fiancé, I can't just watch you push Alice to a spoiled brat!"
Alex spoke righteously and forcefully. If one didn't know better, one would really think he was a good person.
After saying this, Alex also looked affectionately at Alice on the distant staircase.
Everyone followed Alex's gaze and saw that Alice appeared.
The young girl is a standard Western beauty. Her thick golden hair was neatly styled into a bun at the back. Her delicate face had a charming and confusing beauty. Her high nose bridge and high cheekbones gave a cold and three-dimensional beauty. Her blue eyes were deep and dazzling. Not to mention her figure. At the age of nineteen, she had a tall figure of one meter and seventy centimeters. The black silk feet exposed in the black evening dress and the five-centimeter crystal heeled high heels showed elegance and nobility.
Facing everything that happened just now, her expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, without sadness or joy, and she even ignored Alex's gaze.
"Spoiled brat... Fire pit..."
Hearing this, Charles' old face changed for a while and he began to lose his composure. He never thought that Alex would really dare to call that young master a spoiled brat in front of everyone.
And hearing this, some of the guests present understood. Their expressions were strange and there was still a little ridicule on their faces.
Alex said so much just because he didn't want to give up Alice, this rich and beautiful girl. This poor boy from the mountain village wanted to reach the sky in one step.
Although many young masters had laughed at Alex countless times in their hearts, no one dared to show it on their faces.
Before they came, their families had warned them. The one who is engaged to the family this time is a big shot from the imperial capital, a true noble young master from a family with a thousand-year heritage in the imperial capital.
Only someone as brainless as Alex would dare to ridicule directly.
And everyone followed the gaze and looked behind Alice, where there was a sitting young man.
The young man was the same age as Alice. He was gently shaking a goblet in his hand and his eyes were casually staring at the red wine in his hand.
As if everything that happened on the field had nothing to do with him and couldn't arouse his interest at all.
He is the young master engaged to Alice -
Tom!
