To Live an Eternal Life novel Chapter 53

The Hunt Family was very noisy at this moment.

Hearing the news that Mr. Lloyd was coming far away from Jinling to talk about the issue of betrothal presents, the entire Hunt Family had explored with excitement, especially the young girls who were all busy in dressing up their selves.

Maggie even spent tens of thousands of dollars to get the most famous makeup artist in Z City to create a gaudy makeup and look for her, which was indeed so stunning.

"Mom."

The whole family of Axel was hurriedly coming to meet Old Lady Hunt. Spencer glanced at Maggie, who was extravagantly dressed up, revealing a sense of contempt and disdain in her eyes.

On their way, Spencer had already requested her husband and daughters to remain silent about who Mr. Lloyd was going to marry. She was looking forward to the final result and was going to surprised everyone proudly.

"Stand aside, it's the time, Mr. Lloyd should be here soon!" Old Lady Hunt glanced at the people and said calmly.

"I didn't expect it would be the Lloyd family from Jinling. It’s a very powerful family."

"We should have known it long ago, the family with the surname Lloyd can only the Lloyd family from Jinling. The reason why does Mr. Lloyd come here must be that he is about to announce who he is going to marry."

"That’s true, but the most ironic thing is that the Lloyd family's eldest son is called Charles Lloyd, which is a star. Katherine's husband is also called Charlie Lloyd, which is just a piece of rubbish."

Speaking of this, the crowds burst into laughter.

Katherine was very calm after hearing their gossiping, but Isabella was furious, glaring at those men and women.

At this moment, no one was more excited and arrogant than Maggie.

She had the absolute confidence that Mr. Lloyd must come to see her. The thought of marrying into the Lloyd family in Jinling soon made her so excited that she was going to out of control.

"Katherine, there is a huge difference between your husband and mine’s. It’s so hilarious. The project of Chengyu Group means nothing when comparing with the projects from the Lloyd family in Jinling. Their projects are way profitable than yours."

Being absolutely sure that Mr. Lloyd is coming for her, Maggie didn’t want to take care of personal face and said ironically.

Old Lady Hunt frowned, but did not say anything.

"Are you sure that Mr. Lloyd is about to marry you?"

"Could it be you?" Maggie disdained.

Isabella shrugged and said scornfully, "Indeed it's not me. In that case, I have to congratulate you, marrying a rich guy and becoming a young and rich wife of someone."

"No need for you to say that."

Maggie raised her head slightly, like a noble peacock. She was indeed beautiful today, making the other girls of the Hunt Family pale in comparison.

"Hey, Maggie."

"What's up?"

Ewan said quietly, "First of all, congratulations, and secondly, don't forget to help the Hunt Family and help me more in the future, and at last, don't let Katherine have a good time."

Maggie glanced at him, "Well, of course."

Damn it.

Ewan was not happy that he was belittled by Maggie, but there was nothing he could do, now he did not dare to offend Maggie.

Five minutes later, voices came from outside, "Mr. Lloyd is coming, Mr. Lloyd is coming."

All of a sudden, the lobby became quiet.

Old Lady Hunt got up and stood at the front. Soon, she saw a Handsome man dressed in finery, followed by two bodyguards, sailing in.

"Nice to me you, Old Lady Hunt."

"Mr. Lloyd, please sit down."

The girls on site were so shy and nervous. They had only heard of Mr. Lloyd's name, but never seen his real face.

At this moment, the girls found that he was so Handsome and charming, which was exactly the Prince Charming in their dreams.

Maggie turned red, and she brought a cup of tea to him, "Mr. Lloyd, I am Maggie, please have some tea."

"Thank you. I heard that the girls from the Hunt Family are all beauties, today I see you in person, and you really worthy of the reputation."

"Hahaha you must be joking."

Maggie could not suppress the excitement and thrill in her heart, and she was worried about misbehaving herself, so she hurriedly retreated to stand beside the Old Lady Hunt.

Among the crowd, Katherine and her sister stood back and did not show off themselves, they never bother to look at the hypocrite.

Old Lady Hunt saw Charles drinking a few of tea, thinking it was the time to bring up the thing, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Lloyd’s coming to my Hunt family really make my humble home shine. I heard that you are coming to talk about the betrothal presents, please tell me more about it."

"It’s simple. I've fallen in love with a girl of the Hunt Family and want to marry her. Last time, when attending your seventy’s birthday party, I have already give you my betrothal presents, don’t you forget it?"

"Of course, I have not forgotten, may I know who is the girl?"

Here comes the point.

Maggie lowered her head, being thrilled and shy.

The other girls had jealousy rising in their hearts, they were indignant but had the self-awareness that they were no match for Maggie.

"Old Lady Hunt, I have an unrequited request."

"Oh? Please feel free to say it."

Charles swept around, although he did not find Katherine, but glanced at Spencer for a while.

"What Old Lady Hunt doesn't know is that Katherine and I are college classmates. I heard that her husband only manages household affairs and is considered a loser. So in order to let Katherine regain her happiness, I hope that Old Lady Hunt will agree to Katherine’s divorce."

"This... "

Old Lady Hunt looked at Spencer angrily.

She knew Axel didn't have the guts to let Charles say this, obviously Spencer had arranged it.

Katherine's divorce would bring shame on the Hunt Family, but a marriage with the Lloyd family in Jinling would shut those mouths up.

This was a kind of intimidation.

If she didn't say yes, she was afraid it would make Mr. Lloyd unhappy. Old Lady Hunt didn't dare to take the risk.

"This is a simple thing. Katherine was suffering, and it's time to find another good husband for her. Mr. Lloyd, I promised you on this matter, now you can tell me which girl you are going to marry."

"Didn't I just say that."

Old Lady Hunt froze, "What?"

"Shameless! you have disgraced the Hunt Family!"

Old Lady Hunt's face was ghastly pale, and her cane pointed at Maggie's waist. Her parents rushed in and pulled Maggie away.

"Let go of me."

"It's me, only I can marry into the rich family."

"I am the daughter-in-law in the Lloyd family, no one can steal it away, let go of me."

Maggie shouted hysterically, her delicate face turned hideous, and she was quickly drew away from the lobby, startling up a round of noisy from the crowd.

What was the most devastating and humiliating thing to a person?

Pushing you into a high place that everyone thought you would succeed, but only to find out in the end that the person you despises the most was the spotlight.

Falling from heaven into hell.

Crushed to pieces.

The other girls were quite relieved, and Ewan was relieved too, but soon they found a problem -

If Katherine married into the Lloyd family, would they still have a good day?

"Mr. Lloyd, sorry to let you see this scene."

"It’s nothing."

Old Lady Hunt nodded, swept at Katherine, and said hesitantly, "I don’t expect that the Mr. Lloyd would love Katherine with such a deep affection, this is her honor. In that case... "

"Grandma, I don't agree."

What?

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Katherine.

"This guy is a play boy and hypocrite, there's no way I can be with him."

"Shut up, do you have the right to speak here." Old Lady Hunt scolded her angrily.

Katherine was not willing to show weakness and shouted back, "Grandma, no matter what you say, I won't back down, this is about my lifelong happiness. I am your granddaughter, not your commodity, I make my own decisions in my life, there is no need for you to worry about it."

Wow!

The lobby was buzzing, the crowd was whispering. They had to admire Katherine's courage to talk to Old Lady Hunt like this.

On the other side, Ewan covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.

There were still stupid women in the world, who would rather be with a loser than to marry with a rich young man. Katherine, it seemed that I had over estimated you.

"Katherine, what are you talking about!"

Spencer was shocked and angry, and hurriedly apologized, "Mom, Katherine was so excited that she said some nonsense, please do not be angry with her."

Because of Charles's presence, Old Lady Hunt held back her anger, but her voice was cold, "Marrying into the Lloyd family is a blessing that you've cultivated from your eight lifetimes, other girls have dreamed of this opportunity, but you are so ungrateful. Why don't you give me an explanation, why do you refuse?"

"Because the betrothal presents was not offered by this hypocrite."
