Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1232

Allen continued staring at the screen which showed the news about the twins' engagement, completely disregarding George. His eyes turned indifferent and he was filled with a thirst for blood. He turned to George, who was walking towards him. "George, do you think I can win her back?"

Bam! George's reply to Allen was a heavy punch to his face. It was such a powerful blow that Allen fell to the ground from the impact. George said solemnly, "Wake up, Allen. You will never be able to compete with the Long Family, and neither can I."

He didn't mean to disdain him. He only wanted Allen to see and accept the truth. The Long Family played an influential role both in business and politics. It would be impossible for Allen to fight them. They were on a completely different level.

Allen struggled to get up, wiped off the blood on his lips. He gazed at the blood on his hand. Then he just walked away without bothering to look at George.

George was pissed off by Allen's dispirited face. He could do nothing but watch him disappear into the crowd. George got into his car and drove away with a grim face.

'If he is determined to go to hell, nobody can stop him.

As Allen's friend and schoolmate, I have tried everything in my power to stop him. What else can I do if he has already made up his mind?'

George sighed in defeat. He stepped on the accelerator and sped down the highway.

After the engagement ceremony, the guests were showed to 'The Garden In The Air' on the top-most floor for dinner. But Charlie and the other three were surrounded by a bunch of journalists, with continuously flashing cameras. Elsa was starting to get nervous and didn't know how to react or respond to the journalists. She hid inside Charlie's arms and watched them barrage the twins with questions.

Charlie sensed how uncomfortable Elsa was. He turned to the journalists at once and said, "There will be a press conference after dinner. You can ask questions then." With a smile, he added, "Please do enjoy the buffet we've prepared for you. The conference will be held in two hours."

The journalists were surprised and excited about the announcement. They kept their eyes on the two couples even as they were led to the restaurant for dinner, expecting their scoops.

"Charlie, are you serious? Have you arranged a press conference?" Ezra asked, taken by surprise by his sudden plans.

Charlie nodded and replied, "Yeah." He paused, then added with an evil grin, "But I never said that we will be there." He took Elsa's hand and said, "We're leaving. Evelyn—" he turned back to Ezra, "—tell them that Elsa and I went on a vacation."

"Huh?"

Elsa, Evelyn and Ezra asked in astonishment at the same time. They exchanged glances, but none of them knew what was on Charlie's mind.

"But Charlie..." Evelyn was completely confused. "You should go to the National Congress the day after tomorrow."
