To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 53: Nothing But The Betrothal Presents

The Hunt Family was very noisy at this moment.

Hearing the news that Mr. Lloyd was coming far away from Jinling to talk about the issue of betrothal

presents, the entire Hunt Family had explored with excitement, especially the young girls who were all

busy in dressing up their selves.

Maggie even spent tens of thousands of dollars to get the most famous makeup artist in Z City to

create a gaudy makeup and look for her, which was indeed so stunning.

"Mom."

The whole family of Axel was hurriedly coming to meet Old Lady Hunt. Spencer glanced at Maggie,

who was extravagantly dressed up, revealing a sense of contempt and disdain in her eyes.

On their way, Spencer had already requested her husband and daughters to remain silent about who

Mr. Lloyd was going to marry. She was looking forward to the final result and was going to surprised

everyone proudly.

"Stand aside, it's the time, Mr. Lloyd should be here soon!" Old Lady Hunt glanced at the people and

said calmly.

"I didn't expect it would be the Lloyd family from Jinling. It’s a very powerful family."

"We should have known it long ago, the family with the surname Lloyd can only the Lloyd family from

Jinling. The reason why does Mr. Lloyd come here must be that he is about to announce who he is

going to marry."

"That’s true, but the most ironic thing is that the Lloyd family's eldest son is called Charles Lloyd, which

is a star. Katherine's husband is also called Charlie Lloyd, which is just a piece of rubbish."

Speaking of this, the crowds burst into laughter.

Katherine was very calm after hearing their gossiping, but Isabella was furious, glaring at those men

and women. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, no one was more excited and arrogant than Maggie.

She had the absolute confidence that Mr. Lloyd must come to see her. The thought of marrying into the

Lloyd family in Jinling soon made her so excited that she was going to out of control.

"Katherine, there is a huge difference between your husband and mine’s. It’s so hilarious. The project

of Chengyu Group means nothing when comparing with the projects from the Lloyd family in Jinling.

Their projects are way profitable than yours."

Being absolutely sure that Mr. Lloyd is coming for her, Maggie didn’t want to take care of personal face

and said ironically.

Old Lady Hunt frowned, but did not say anything.

"Are you sure that Mr. Lloyd is about to marry you?"

"Could it be you?" Maggie disdained.

Isabella shrugged and said scornfully, "Indeed it's not me. In that case, I have to congratulate you,

marrying a rich guy and becoming a young and rich wife of someone."

"No need for you to say that."

Maggie raised her head slightly, like a noble peacock. She was indeed beautiful today, making the

other girls of the Hunt Family pale in comparison.

"Hey, Maggie."

"What's up?"

Ewan said quietly, "First of all, congratulations, and secondly, don't forget to help the Hunt Family and

help me more in the future, and at last, don't let Katherine have a good time."

Maggie glanced at him, "Well, of course."

Damn it.

Ewan was not happy that he was belittled by Maggie, but there was nothing he could do, now he did

not dare to offend Maggie.

Five minutes later, voices came from outside, "Mr. Lloyd is coming, Mr. Lloyd is coming."

All of a sudden, the lobby became quiet.

Old Lady Hunt got up and stood at the front. Soon, she saw a Handsome man dressed in finery,

followed by two bodyguards, sailing in.

"Nice to me you, Old Lady Hunt."

"Mr. Lloyd, please sit down."

The girls on site were so shy and nervous. They had only heard of Mr. Lloyd's name, but never seen

his real face.

At this moment, the girls found that he was so Handsome and charming, which was exactly the Prince

Charming in their dreams.

Maggie turned red, and she brought a cup of tea to him, "Mr. Lloyd, I am Maggie, please have some

tea."

"Thank you. I heard that the girls from the Hunt Family are all beauties, today I see you in person, and

you really worthy of the reputation."

"Hahaha you must be joking."

Maggie could not suppress the excitement and thrill in her heart, and she was worried about

misbehaving herself, so she hurriedly retreated to stand beside the Old Lady Hunt.

Among the crowd, Katherine and her sister stood back and did not show off themselves, they never

bother to look at the hypocrite.

Old Lady Hunt saw Charles drinking a few of tea, thinking it was the time to bring up the thing, then

smiled and asked, "Mr. Lloyd’s coming to my Hunt family really make my humble home shine. I heard

that you are coming to talk about the betrothal presents, please tell me more about it."

"It’s simple. I've fallen in love with a girl of the Hunt Family and want to marry her. Last time, when

attending your seventy’s birthday party, I have already give you my betrothal presents, don’t you forget

it?"

"Of course, I have not forgotten, may I know who is the girl?"

Here comes the point.

Maggie lowered her head, being thrilled and shy.

The other girls had jealousy rising in their hearts, they were indignant but had the self-awareness that

they were no match for Maggie.

"Old Lady Hunt, I have an unrequited request."

"Oh? Please feel free to say it."

Charles swept around, although he did not find Katherine, but glanced at Spencer for a while.

"What Old Lady Hunt doesn't know is that Katherine and I are college classmates. I heard that her

husband only manages household affairs and is considered a loser. So in order to let Katherine regain

her happiness, I hope that Old Lady Hunt will agree to Katherine’s divorce."

"This... "

Old Lady Hunt looked at Spencer angrily.

She knew Axel didn't have the guts to let Charles say this, obviously Spencer had arranged it.

Katherine's divorce would bring shame on the Hunt Family, but a marriage with the Lloyd family in

Jinling would shut those mouths up.

This was a kind of intimidation.

If she didn't say yes, she was afraid it would make Mr. Lloyd unhappy. Old Lady Hunt didn't dare to take

the risk.

"This is a simple thing. Katherine was suffering, and it's time to find another good husband for her. Mr.

Lloyd, I promised you on this matter, now you can tell me which girl you are going to marry."

"Didn't I just say that."

Old Lady Hunt froze, "What?"

Suddenly, her face stiffened.

Didn’t it mean that she was...

"Yes, it's Katherine."

Charles said firmly.

It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

The Hunt family fell into dead silence, everyone looked at Charles incredulously. Maggie was

completely petrified, frozen as a wooden chicken.

"When I was in college I was in love with Katherine, but at that time I had to go abroad to study and

could only leave in pain. Now that I'm back, I never expect Katherine has already got married."

"If her husband is a successful person, I will not bother her. But I find that Katherine actually is married

with a loser, which I can't stand."

Charles got up and said aloud, "So what if she is married, I don't care, as long as Katherine is divorced,

I will absolutely take her back to Jinling."

Hearing his words, the people of the Hunt Family were all dumbfounded.

Axel and Spencer touched their eyes, feeling so touched.

Wow.

The crowd gave a way and Katherine and her sister and husband appeared, but they were --

"Control it, control it, brother-in-law, are you lost your hand? How come you play so bad with this easy

character - Huang Shan"

"Do not panic, My Luna can be online forever."

"Sister, just drop it, A Liang will teach you how to live."

The crowd exploded suddenly, in such a important event, how dear the three of them were actually

playing the game - Arena of Valor.

Old Lady Hunt's face sank and she scolded, "Is there still no end to it?"

"Ah, Grandma."

The three of them hurriedly got up and walked to the front row.

Old Lady Hunt's face was unreadable as she looked at Charles and said, "Mr. Lloyd, do you really

fancy Katherine?"

"How can it be false."

"No, that's impossible."

The one who spoke was not Old Lady Hunt, but was Maggie.

After a few moment, she finally came back to her senses.

A wave of anger rose to her head, and her whole body was about to explode.

"Mr. Lloyd, why is her? It can't be her, Katherine is married! I'm single, I'm prettier than her, I'm the best

choice for you."

Maggie looked like crazy, her face was violently twisted, causing the powder to fall down like the snow.

"Miss Maggie, calm down first."

"How can I calm down, how do you want me to calm down." Maggie grabbed Charles to her side and

almost jumped into his hug, shouting, "Mr. Lloyd, take me to Jinling, I will serve you well and be your

good wife."

"Shameless! you have disgraced the Hunt Family!"

Old Lady Hunt's face was ghastly pale, and her cane pointed at Maggie's waist. Her parents rushed in

and pulled Maggie away.

"Let go of me."

"It's me, only I can marry into the rich family."

"I am the daughter-in-law in the Lloyd family, no one can steal it away, let go of me."

Maggie shouted hysterically, her delicate face turned hideous, and she was quickly drew away from the

lobby, startling up a round of noisy from the crowd.

What was the most devastating and humiliating thing to a person?

Pushing you into a high place that everyone thought you would succeed, but only to find out in the end

that the person you despises the most was the spotlight.

Falling from heaven into hell.

Crushed to pieces.

The other girls were quite relieved, and Ewan was relieved too, but soon they found a problem -

If Katherine married into the Lloyd family, would they still have a good day?

"Mr. Lloyd, sorry to let you see this scene."

"It’s nothing."

Old Lady Hunt nodded, swept at Katherine, and said hesitantly, "I don’t expect that the Mr. Lloyd would

love Katherine with such a deep affection, this is her honor. In that case... "

"Grandma, I don't agree."

What?

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Katherine.

"This guy is a play boy and hypocrite, there's no way I can be with him."

"Shut up, do you have the right to speak here." Old Lady Hunt scolded her angrily.

Katherine was not willing to show weakness and shouted back, "Grandma, no matter what you say, I

won't back down, this is about my lifelong happiness. I am your granddaughter, not your commodity, I

make my own decisions in my life, there is no need for you to worry about it."

Wow!

The lobby was buzzing, the crowd was whispering. They had to admire Katherine's courage to talk to

Old Lady Hunt like this.

On the other side, Ewan covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.

There were still stupid women in the world, who would rather be with a loser than to marry with a rich

young man. Katherine, it seemed that I had over estimated you.

"Katherine, what are you talking about!"

Spencer was shocked and angry, and hurriedly apologized, "Mom, Katherine was so excited that she

said some nonsense, please do not be angry with her."

Because of Charles's presence, Old Lady Hunt held back her anger, but her voice was cold, "Marrying

into the Lloyd family is a blessing that you've cultivated from your eight lifetimes, other girls have

dreamed of this opportunity, but you are so ungrateful. Why don't you give me an explanation, why do

you refuse?"

"Because the betrothal presents was not offered by this hypocrite."
