Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 14 Engagement Ceremony

A week ago, the media had already sensed that Zac's [少爷]'s engagement ceremony was going to be held. Of course, the media couldn't let go of such big news. Early in the morning, all the major media gathered in the Greg hotel.

The engagement party was arranged by Mr. Barton. The Greg hotel was the second largest hotel in Wilson city. He had thought of the largest hotel Caspar Manor, but he didn't expect that the manager refused. Mr. Barton didn't go deep into it, and the Greg hotel was quite good.

Of course, Charlie's engagement couldn't be neglected. Leah had been taken to the Rong family early. After greeting Mr. Barton, she was invited to the dressing room. This time, it was Jacob who was doing the makeup for her.

Jacob didn't say much today. He was quietly putting on makeup, but his gloomy face betrayed his emotions.

An hour had passed, but Jacob was still wearing a long face. Leah couldn't stand it anymore. "Jacob, what's wrong with you today? It's my engagement day. Look at your expression."

Hearing this, Jacob pursed his lips and said, "I'm dressing up the woman I like who is going to be engaged to someone else. I only care about this woman, but this woman doesn't care about me."

Leah couldn't help laughing. She looked at the handsome man who was 1.78 meter next to her and said helplessly, "So you like falling in love at first sight?"

"My parents fell in love with each other at first sight." Jacob said confidently.

"Sorry, I will never accept love at first sight."

"Well, well, Leah, can I be your male intimate?" Jacob asked carefully.

Leah fell into silence.

"Just good friends."

"It is said that a male intimate is a rebound guy, isn't it? So you like to be a rebound guy? " Leah cast a sidelong glance at him. He was interested in being a rebound guy, but she was not interested in having a rebound guy.

"Leah, you're not cute at all. How about we just be friends?" Jacob compromised.

"Okay."

Seeing that Leah agreed, Jacob became cheerful again. He was as cheerful and talkative as before.

The engagement ceremony officially began at half past eleven at noon. Mr. Barton talked with the guests excitedly.

Leah had already been waiting in the hall, but Charlie hadn't shown up yet.

The ceremony was about to begin, but the main character was missing. Everyone began to discuss.

Mr. Barton didn't look good. He called the butler and said, "go and call Charlie here."

"Yes, sir."

The Butler left in a hurry, with cold sweat on his head. Where had Mr. Charlie been in such a big scene?

At eleven twenty-five, the Butler ran back with sweat all over his forehead, "I haven't found Mr. Charlie."

"This bastard." Mr. Barton's face darkened. He shouldn't have given the shares to him.

"Sorry, I'm late." When everyone was talking and thinking, a figure appeared at the door.

"Charlie, where have you been?" Mr. Barton said unhappily.

"Grandpa, I just met an acquaintance and delayed for a while?" Said Charlie with a smile.

Mr. Barton looked at him suspiciously, but was still unhappy. "What acquaintance? Do you have to delay on such an important day?"

"She will come later. Let's start first."

Compared to wedding, there were few procedures in the engagement party. Moreover, the engagement of a rich family was a business talk.

Leah felt a little uneasy. The video of her being drugged had not been photographed. What would Charlie think of a way to avoid getting engaged?

In the corner, a pair of jealous eyes stared at Leah.

The ceremony lasted for half an hour. When Charlie and Leah were toasting to the guests around them, a bright and haggard figure appeared at the door.

"You can't get engaged." An angry voice came through.

Everyone turned their heads. Who was that?

Leah sneered. It started.

A hint of slyness flashed through Charlie's eyes. He frowned and asked with concern, "Alina, why are you here? You haven't recovered yet. "

Oh, big news, this international superstar was very famous, and her name is almost a household name.

"Charlie, don't be cheated by her. Don't get engaged to her." Alina sobbed.

Mr. Barton was furious. "Charlie, who is she?"

"Mr. Barton, my name is Alina. Charlie and I really love each other. Leah lied to you. Don't believe her." There were tears on her beautiful face.

Seeing this, [叶歆瑶] sneered. The international superstar deserved the reputation.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Barton's face darkened.

Holding Alina's hand, Charlie persuaded her in a soft voice, "Alina, can you go home?"

"Charlie, are you really going to marry this skittish woman?" Tears streamed down Alina's face. She looked at Charlie in despair.

"Don't sling mud." Mr. Barton snapped.

Alina hurriedly took out a few photos from her bag and said, "Mr. Barton, I didn't sling mud. This is the evidence."

Looking at those obscene photos, Mr. Barton covered his heart and calmed himself down. "Leah, what do you want to say?"

Leah took a look at the photo, her eyes flashing with coldness. The video was not photographed, but the photo of the two men taking off her clothes was photographed. "I have nothing to say."

Everyone gasped. The photo was indeed obscene, and this woman was still shameless here.

"You..." Mr. Barton blacked out.

"Call an ambulance."

The butler and several bodyguards helped Mr. Barton get on the car and rushed to the hospital.

However, Charlie was not in a hurry to go to the hospital. He stood in front of Leah and looked at her coldly. "Cancel the engagement."

"Okay," replied Leah expressionlessly

It was just as she expected. But where was the man who said he would help her?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry. My girlfriend was Alina, but my grandfather insisted on asking me to marry Leah. I don't know what kind of person she is. She was born in an orphanage. I didn't agree at first, but this woman threatened me with the baby in my girlfriend's belly. I had no choice but to agree, but the baby is still gone."

Zack cleared his throat and continued, "today, I'm going to announce to everyone that I'm going to cancel the engagement with Leah and marry Alina."

"This woman is so cruel, a mistress."

"Exactly."

Leah watched the drama coldly and felt a little sad when she saw the people around her talking about it. After all, they had been together for two years, but in the end, he not only betrayed her, but also humiliated her.

This was probably the world.

Hope and despair was just a thought.

"Am I late?" When they were talking, a cold voice came from the door, and a dozen of Maybach cars stopped outside.

Leah looked at the door, with a gleam shining in her eyes. He finally came.

"How is the engagement ceremony going?" Lucian looked straight at Leah.

"I have canceled the engagement." Charlie looked at the man in front of him coldly. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"I see." Lucian walked slowly to Leah and said with a smile, "thank you."

"Mr. Lucian, what do you mean?" Seeing Lucian holding Leah's hand, Charlie felt a little uncomfortable.

"I mean I can finally pursue Miss Leah aboveboard." Seeing that Leah was staring at her, Lucian was in a good mood and tightened his hand.

"Doesn't Mr. Lucian care about her past? She was born in an orphanage, and she is so skittish. " Alina looked at Leah with jealousy. As soon as she was abandoned by Mr. Charlie, she was chased by Lucian. How could a woman born in an orphanage be so lucky.

"Orphanage? Skittish? Miss Alina, are you sure you are not talking about yourself? " Lucian pretended to be shocked.

Leah was confused. What did he mean?

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Alina felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"I have some information here. Miss Alina, if you forget it, you can recall it."

Leah suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a little unfathomable. He investigated Alina?

"What information?" Charlie's face changed. Was it a lie that she was born in a rich family and had never been in love?

"Rain."

Rain handed the prepared documents to Charlie.

Charlie's face changed dramatically. He slapped on her face, "How dare you lie to me?"

"Charlie, listen to me. It's not what you think." Alina covered her face and looked at Charlie pitifully.

"Well, this is Mr. Charlie's family matter. I won't interfere. Let's go." Lucian looked around and gently pulled Leah out.

In the car, Leah looked at the Maybach cars in the back row and despised Lucian in her heart. Why was he so high-profile?

"I thought you forgot your promise."

"A word spoken by a gentleman cannot be taken back."

[穆瑾瑜] said with a smile.

Leah felt something was wrong. What was he planning?

What was it?
