Chapter 3 Engagement Feast
Three days later, the engagement party of Wilson Smith and Davis family kicked off under the attention of the public. The news of this marriage spread quickly to every corner of Licheng like a spring breeze, triggering heated discussions and envy from countless people.
In accordance with Wilson Smith's usual low-key style, in order to avoid unnecessary disturbances, the engagement banquet was arranged to be simple yet solemn. The two families gathered together and shared a delicious meal, which was considered to be the finalization of the marriage. The venue for this banquet was the most luxurious seven-star hotel in Licheng - the Grand Court Hotel.
On the way to the hotel, Sophia kept whispering in Bella's ear, trying to make her show her best side in the upcoming meeting. "When you meet Charles later, you must take the initiative and try your best to win his favor. Do you hear me?"
However, Bella just lazily leaned back in her chair, half-closed her eyes, as if she was indifferent to everything around her. She turned a deaf ear to Sophia's instructions and did not give any response.
" I'm talking to you, can you be serious!" Sophia looked at Bella's ruffian look, and her anger could not help but burn. She really didn't understand why her daughter could always easily irritate her.
" If you show up in front of Charles like this again and mess up the marriage, not only will your grandmother's illness not be cured, but you will also die without a burial place!" Sophia's tone was full of threats and helplessness. She really hoped that Bella could understand the interests involved.
However, Bella just turned her head and stared at her with her cold eyes, her eyebrows full of impatience. She took out a black headset from her backpack and said in a cold tone: "How about you marry Charles for me?"
" What's your attitude..." Sophia was about to explode, but was interrupted by Bella 's low growl, "If you don't want to go, shut up!"
Bella put the headphones on her head, and the music from the phone instantly rang in her ears. She was no longer bothered to pay attention to Sophia 's nagging. Sophia only felt a sharp pain in her chest and glared at Bella in frustration .
Cindy sat in the driver's seat, glanced at Bella through the rearview mirror , and raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, but did not say much.
When Bella and her group arrived at the hotel, Eleanor and her eldest son's family were already sitting there, sitting upright, and everyone was dressed up carefully. Although the outside world rumored that Charles 's appearance was completely ruined, the Davis family did not dare to be negligent. After all, Wilson Smith could make the Davis family disappear forever with just a flick of his finger. The Davis family's private replacement was likely to annoy Charles . If there was another problem with etiquette, the Davis family would really be finished.
However , the moment Bella walked into the hall, Eleanor stood up instantly, and the anger on her face was beyond words. "Asshole! Who told you to dress like this?" She stared at Bella's cheap black sweatshirt and black baseball cap, shaking with anger.
Eleanor turned to Sophia and yelled, "Are you dead? Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? You asked her to come dressed like this, do you want to destroy my Davis family ?"
Sophia was afraid of Eleanor , and she shuddered subconsciously when the old lady yelled at her . "Mom, I bought her a dress, but this damn girl refused to change it. You know, she didn't live with me, and she wouldn't listen to what I said." Sophia cursed Bella in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the old lady.
" Take her to change clothes immediately!" Eleanor exuded a majestic aura. She glanced at the time and said, "It's too late. Wilson Smith will be here soon... Let's do this. Vivian and Bella are about the same height. Let them go to the bathroom to change clothes."
" Grandma, I don't want it!" Vivian stamped her feet and was about to cry. It was more painful to let her wear clothes that a wild girl from the countryside had worn than to kill her.
"You don't want to?" Eleanor glanced at him fiercely, "Do you want to offend Wilson Smith? Can you afford the consequences? Or do you want to marry Charles?"
"I..." Vivian bit her lip, feeling angry and wronged, and could only glare at Bella fiercely . Eleanor glanced at her indifferently and said coldly: "If you can bear the consequences, you don't have to change."
Although Vivian was spoiled, she was not stupid. Wilson Smith was someone they couldn't afford to offend. If she offended Wilson Smith because she refused to change clothes , she would become a sinner of the Davis family . She struggled for a long time in her heart, and finally could only glare at Bella fiercely , "Why don't you come with me to change clothes?"
However, Bella, who had been standing at the door with her hands in her pockets and indifferent since she entered the room, just lazily walked to the table and sat down, leaning against the back of the chair, and said slowly: "No!"
