Aaron's eyes were as deep as night, which were hard to read. He always had a smile on his lips. "Do you think I am joking?"
Shocked and stunned, Yvonne froze in place as if she had been slapped hard on her face. She looked at Aaron in panic. She had thought that today's banquet would be her chance to be closer to Aaron. Where did Rita come from? And when had she been engaged to him?
Rita frowned impatiently. Before she could react, her hand was held by Aaron and pulled into his arms.
"Is it strange?" Aaron drooped his head and looked down at her red face. With a hint of cunning, he held her tightly in his arms. "The banquet today is to announce our engagement."
"Aaron, have you been deceived?" Not to be outdone, Yvonne pointed to Rita and said, "She is my brother's girlfriend, how could she get engaged to you?"
"Magee and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend," Rita refuted, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Bah, you were childhood sweetheart. He must be your boyfriend." Yvonne's beautiful face was distorted with anger and squinted at her in a strange way. "You're really a bitch by going after both of them."
Rita was helpless. "You can say whatever you like."
At the moment, she was held tightly in the arms of Aaron, and her shoulders hurt. How scheming he was! He knew clearly Yvonne's purpose, but he intentionally embarrassed her in such an occasion.
Yvonne was so angry that she was shaking all over. The words she said to Rita just now, at this moment, was like nothing but a joke in the eyes of Aaron! She was like a little mouse being teased by him.
She fell from heaven to hell. She still couldn't believe that she was fooled by Aaron!
She shifted her hatred to Rita. It must be Rita who tried everything to seduce Aaron!
When Yvonne was boiling with rage, Rita was pulled to the center of the stage by Aaron, where she was the center of attention. She was so proud and glowing like when she was at her graduation ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony.
Aaron held her hand and asked secretly, "Are you nervous?"
"I am fine." She walked leisurely.
"You are not turning me down?"
