Upstairs, the two sisters were having a heart-to-heart conversation. Downstairs, as everyone eagerly awaited, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the Turner family's gate.
"It's been many years since I last came to the Turner family. Do you still remember me?" A majestic voice was heard.
Upon hearing this, the guests who were talking, drinking, and networking at the scene suddenly froze and turned their heads to look.
Then, they collectively stared in shock.
It was actually the Soo family who arrived first!
Nicholas was wearing a blue suit, leaning on a cane, with wrinkles all over his face, but a smile on his face. He led the Soo family into the hall in a grand manner.
Almost everyone in the hall subconsciously focused their gaze on Alfie standing next to him. Although they had heard rumors about Alfie, many of the young ladies' hearts still couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably when they saw the delicate and gentle features of the young man in front of them.
But it wasn't just Alfie who came.
Cameron, Sienna... even the youngest Soo family young master was carried in Mrs. Soo's arms, which showed the Soo family's level of importance to this engagement.
However, this was not surprising. Seeing the deep background and Selena's status in the research institute and Zone Six that the Turner family had now revealed, how could Nicholas, who was driven purely by profit, dare to treat this engagement with the Turner family indifferently, just like before? He even turned a blind eye to it.
Patrick's eyes darkened, and he retorted coldly, "Nicholas, you're joking. Although Grandpa passed away twenty years ago, I could never forget him."
With one sentence, Patrick ruthlessly cut off any chance of the Soo family playing the emotional card.
The guests were not surprised by their dislike of Patrick. After all, everyone knew the Soo family's behavior of trying to harm the Turner family in the past. The fact that they could even maintain a peaceful demeanor when they met their enemies was already impressive enough. If it were them, they would probably be seething with anger at the sight of Nicholas.
Having been in the power game for many years, Nicholas naturally wasn't hurt by these words. He didn't even change his smile on his face.
His gaze swept around and he asked with a smile, "Where is Selena? How come she's not here? Today is the day of the Soo family and the Turner family's engagement. As the person involved, she can't be absent..."
As soon as he mentioned Selena, Patrick's face turned colder. "Selena is upstairs," he said in a flat voice.
Without waiting for Nicholas to speak, Patrick added, "Waiting for her boyfriend to propose."
As soon as he said this, the gaze of everyone present gathered on Patrick.
As the current head of the Turner family and the only family of Miss Turner, Patrick's attitude towards Selena's marriage is crucial.
And from the words of the Turner family's young master, he obviously leans more towards the Anderson family.
After all, it is well known that Miss Turner' boyfriend is Mr. Anderson!
The Soo family was probably prepared for this and did not have much of a reaction to Patrick's words.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
