Orion and Caleb trampled me down but fawned over Alicia. Today was a big day for Marlon, and everyone was here for him. So, they all wanted to flatter Alicia. That was why Marvin did not get angry with them at all. Besides, I was the last person he wanted to see right now.
"Rachael. Look at what you have done. Now apologize to Mr. Lowery and Mr. Barry." Marvin scolded me loudly.
I lowered my head and apologized to them once again. I saw the reporter who had secretly photographed me from the corner of my eye. He had got it on tape, so I smiled. Very good, Marvin. Tomorrow, you wouldn't get the chance to shed tears. At that time, I wanted you to kneel and beg me!
"So, she's your daughter. Mr. Cornell, I have to say that she doesn't inherit any of your excellent genes!"
"That's right. You don't resemble each other at all. But Alicia looks like you. She's so smart, beautiful and gentle. Alicia should be the role model of all women!"
"That's true. I always ask my daughter to learn from Alicia. If she could be half as good as Alicia, I will be satisfied!"
All the guests began to praise Alicia.
Marvin loved Alicia very much. Now that everyone was speaking highly of her, Marvin loved her more. He caressed Alicia's head. "Alicia has been smart and obedient since she was a kid. Now she gets such a good fiancé like Marlon. Her mother and I didn't do anything!" Then Marvin turned to look at me as he said a little angrily, "But my eldest daughter is quite the opposite. She really bothers me!"
"Mr. Cornell, don't worry about her. You have such a good daughter like Alicia. Just ignore the other one!"
"Yeah. Just don't think about her. If she were a rebel, you can cut her off!" Caleb and Orion agreed.
"Mr. Charles!" Suddenly, a sharp and shocked shout attracted everyone's attention.
They turned around and froze. Kieran was slowly walking over from the gate. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and white trousers. He looked very cold yet handsome. There were no emotions in his red eyes. He was like a devil climbing out of the hell. Everyone looked astonished and almost fearful.
There were a lot of bodyguards in black behind him. They were like bloodthirsty demons escaping from the hell.
The crowd of guests saw Kieran and stepped back to the corners. They were like rats seeing a giant beast. They didn't even dare to look at Kieran. It was as if they would be killed after looking at his face.
After all, Kieran had done it before.
Marvin's face changed. He didn't expect Kieran to come, because he never wanted me to come.
Shania and Alicia's faces both went an ugly green.
Kieran stopped in front of me. Then he turned to look at Caleb and Orion. His voice was colder than ice as he said word by word, "Did you two say that Marvin could ignore her and cut her off?"
Caleb and Orion froze. Kieran was a big shot and they had never got a chance to see him. Now that Kieran spoke to them, they hurriedly nodded.
Kieran stared at them and smiled.
In an instant, the noisy hall went deathly silent. Everyone was frightened, and so was I.
Kieran was a terrifying man. Even if he didn't say anything, he looked very powerful and intimidating. Now he laughed, but his eyes were filled with bloodlust. His cruel smile scared everyone.
