Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Who Said They Will Be Engaged to Ruby Green?
 

“Abigail Green, why is it you? Where is your sister?” Rose Taylor trembled as she pointed at Abigail Green, asking her in front of everyone.

Since today’s attendees were all prominent figures, she did not believe Brandon Piers would fail to give her and the Green family an explanation!

Kelvin Max instinctively looked at Brandon Piers, wanting the media to shut off the live broadcast. Brandon Piers, however, waved his hand, signaling that it was unnecessary.

Kelvin Max, who always thought he understood the second young master, looked at Kennan Max in confusion. Kennan Max shook his head, seeming to suggest, “If you don’t understand, how could I?”

Helplessly, Kelvin Max looked towards Pullan, who was holding a pair of pruning shears.

Pullan gripped the shears tightly, vigilant of his surroundings and Rose Taylor’s direction. It seemed as though if she dared to harm the second young master or Miss Abigail in any way, he would rush forward immediately.

Kelvin Max, “…”

Circling around, Kelvin Max’s gaze fell on Noel Roberts’s knowing expression. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Could it be that Secretary-General Roberts knows what the second young master is up to?”

Noel Roberts looked at the few bewildered people disdainfully, his lips curling into a mischievous smirk. He had a rough guess about what Brandon Piers was going to do but still couldn’t understand. Was this “monster” worth such a sacrifice?

Looking at Abigail again, his eyes held a deep curiosity, as if trying to figure out what made her unique.

At this moment, Abigail was staring at her stepmother’s collapsing expression, the hypocritical mask teetering on her face. “Auntie, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“How could you not understand? This is your sister’s engagement. Why are you appearing beside the second young master? Look at yourself! Do you think you deserve to stand by his side?!” Rose Taylor was provoked by Abigail’s innocent expression and lost her composure.

After hearing this, Abigail smiled mockingly but did not look at Rose Taylor. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Lincoln Green.

Today, the people attending Brandon Piers’s engagement were no ordinary individuals. Rose Taylor’s outburst caused many to frown.

Although people wondered why the bride was a “monster,” it didn’t mean they would question the host directly.

Lincoln Green was also angry, but he remembered his dignity. Hearing Rose Taylor’s words, his face changed drastically. When he met his daughter’s gaze, he felt a hot flush of shame. He grabbed Rose Taylor’s hand. “Rose, this is the Piers’s engagement banquet. Calm down.”

“Calm down? How can I calm down? The second young master was clearly engaged to our Ruby, but now it’s Abigail. As her mother, shouldn’t I question this? Besides, where is our Ruby?” Rose Taylor’s tone became more sorrowful, and although she regained some of her sanity, the meaning of her words remained unchanged.

“This…” Lincoln Green was perplexed too. Ruby was in the hotel, so why hadn’t she come out? And why hadn’t the guests been notified about such a significant bride switch by the Piers?

Even he, as the father of Abigail and Ruby Green, had been kept in the dark. No matter how mighty the Piers family was, they couldn’t treat people like this, right?

Lincoln Green was also very dissatisfied with how the Piers handled things. However, he couldn’t answer Rose Taylor’s question, so he simply looked at Abigail.

Abigail always knew her father was useless. Seeing him now, staring at her alongside Rose Taylor as if demanding a satisfactory explanation today, her smile faded. Just as she was about to speak, Brandon Piers squeezed her palm.

“Hmm?” Abigail turned back to look at the handsome man in the wheelchair, puzzled.

Brandon Piers ignored her, playing with one of her smooth little fingers. His cold gaze fell on Rose Taylor. “When did I say I was going to get engaged to Ruby Green?”

After three seconds of silence, the scene erupted in an uproar.

If he wasn’t getting engaged to Ruby Green, then to whom? The “monster” beside him? But hadn’t the internet been abuzz with stories about the second young master and Ruby Green’s true love?

What exactly was going on here?
