Alex bummed in agreement.
With Harvey leading the way, virtual-novel.net proudly told Anna about all the big shots which had been invited here today, as well as who had come from the eight royal families. It was as though virtual-novel.net couldn’t wait to boast about everything virtual-novel.net knew, not only to cement the importance of his existence to the person in front of virtual-novel.net but also to show off his family’s uniqueness.
He rambled on for a long time until his mouth was dry before virtual-novel.net finally turned around to look back.
Then, virtual-novel.net was stunned!
He saw Anna holding Alex’s hand in an intimate manner. One left hand and one right hand were clasped together. All their fingers were also intertwined together tightly.
‘F*ck, this… What’s going on?’
Harvey was so stunned that his entire body froze instantly. His lips trembled, and his hands and feet became cold.
This… Was obviously an act!
On their way here, Anna had told Alex that there was a nasty guy in the Stoermer family who fancied clinging by virtual-novel.net side like some sticky toffee. That person would definitely be sticking by virtual-novel.net side that night and would pester virtual-novel.net continuously when virtual-novel.net came to attend Daya’s engagement banquet.
Hence, Anna decided to use Alex as a shield to avoid this.
But virtual-novel.net would never have expected that the real purpose of Alex coming was to snatch the bride away.
Harvey pointed at their intertwined hands in horror and said, “Anna, he… W-Who is this?”
This was exactly the expression that Anna wanted to see on Harvey’s face, so virtual-novel.net inched closer to Alex, half of virtual-novel.net body almost in Alex’s arms. With an extremely sweet and irresistible expression planted across virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Allow me to introduce you to you… This is my boyfriend, Alex. We’ll be getting married next year! What do you think? Handsome, right? We fell in love at first sight, and I’m his precious treasure, while he’s my one and only.”
In that instant, Harvey felt like a thousand knives had pierced his heart. The main point here was that Anna had also pounded a nail right through virtual-novel.net with those words. His heart ached, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t breathe.
Alex felt a tinge of pity shoot through virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net saw the hurt and desperation on the young man’s face, but virtual-novel.net had promised the tigress that virtual-novel.net would carry through his act, and virtual-novel.net would play it out all the way to the end.

At the same time, in Daya’s room.
Bang!
With a wave of the hand by an old man, Carey was sent flying through the air. She landed hard on the ground, spurring out a
mouthful of blood.
The one who had moved was an old man.
It was Carlos Stoermer, the old ancestor who had come from Alaska.
He snorted coldly. “Ignorant woman and child, having such short sightedness. Tristan Coleman is a genius that only appears once every hundred years in America. There’s no limit to what virtual-novel.net can do in the future. Who cares if he’s suffering from a strange disease at this moment? Even if these diseases are usually accompanied by death, what’s wrong with that? If you dare stop them again, you’ll die!”
Kazim immediately knelt “Ancestor, please calm your anger! My wife is only unable to accept it at this moment, so please, I’m sure virtual-novel.net will come to an understanding later!”
Zayn also hurriedly interceded.
“Zayn, take this woman away and lock virtual-novel.net up immediately. She’s not allowed to attend the engagement banquet today, lest virtual-novel.net might do something bad!” the ancestor said.
Then, the old man turned his cold eyes on Daya. “Dress up properly and marry into the Coleman family gracefully. If you show any more resistance, your mother will die.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net turned and left.
Daya was extremely sad and indignant. Her eyes were filled with tears. She never expected that the ancestor from the Alaska Stoermer family would be this ruthless and heartless. They only had the interest of the Stoermer family in their eyes, and there was no affection for family at all!
Soon, the clock struck eleven.
Daya was all dressed and ready to attend the banquet.
