Chapter 431: Chapter 431

Preston wondered if it wasn’t for Mina, would he be reduced to a corpse now.

“We’re friends.

You’re welcome.

I just happened to pass by so I helped you out.

By the way, your wallet with me.

You left it in the chair at that time.

I’ll get it to you,” Mina said.

Preston’s heart skipped a beat.

Mina happened to save him because he dropped his wallet and she was out to return it.

“Thank you!” He thanked her again.

The words contained a lot of meanings, from sincere gratitude, and the relief of surviving a calamity, to that subtle fate that brought them together… “You’re welcome.” Mina felt a little uncomfortable and scratched her head.

James came out of another room and shouted, “Mr.

Blake!” James had an outstanding IQ and amazing eyesight.

His memory was so impressive that he almost had a photographic memory.

That was unlike those fools who couldn’t even differentiate between Preston and the bodyguard.

“Hello!” Preston greeted politely.

He did not know the person in front of him.

However, he felt that the person in front of him had a very cold aura.

He clearly looked like a scholar and did not look like a rich person.

The man just gave off the aura of a superior who could not be disobeyed.

“Mr.

Blake, let’s talk in private,” James said.

Preston frowned slightly.

Mina whispered to him, “This is my mentor’s master, James Brown.” It was her third grandmaster who told her.

Cash was the most talkative among the few Grandmasters and liked to share things with her.

When Preston heard that it was Annalise’s master, he immediately felt less distant.

He followed James to a room.

James did not beat around the bush.

He turned on the computer and played the recording.

Preston listened to the recording and clenched his fists.

He knew that Jared wanted him dead, but when he heard the recording of Jared out to contract his killing, his heart still tightened.

There was anger, sorrow… “Heh…” He couldn’t help but sneer.

James said calmly, “Whether you decide to do it the lawful and send your family to jail, or to forgive Jared’s bestial act, that’s between you and your father.

“He tried to kill and frame Anna’s husband.

I’ll put him in jail for this.

“I asked Mr.

Blake to come over to first, tell you the truth.

Secondly, I hoped that you would not make it public.

I did not want Anna to know and affect the mood of the wedding.

“In three days, I will take revenge.” When Preston heard James’ words, his heart trembled again.

Annalise’s mentors were not related to Annalise by blood at all, yet they treated Annalise like their own daughter and did not want her to suffer any grievances.

As for his own biological father, they were related by blood, but he kept wanting to kill him.

“Mr.

Blake, you can leave now!” James reminded him unhappily.

At this point, James figured that if Preston still had to forgive that bastard, Jared, he deserved to die for it one day.

Preston looked at James and said gratefully, “Thank you for telling me the truth.

I hope that all relationships in this world are mutual.

Family and friends being kind to each other, that one would reap what one sowed, good or bad alike.

He wants my life, so I’ll send him to where he belongs.

If this goes against morality, I’m willing to go to hell after I die.

“Don’t worry.

I also hope that Annalise can be happy for the next three days.

She is my savior.

I hope that she will be happy forever!” With that, Preston bowed slightly to James and left the room.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mina left with him and waited to return the wallet to him.

“Will you have a drink with me?” Preston said to Mina.

Mina immediately waved her hand.

“No, no, no.

I don’t know how to drink.” She thought of how she thought Preston was drunk before and she couldn’t even hold him properly.

She even kissed him when he fell.

She was afraid that she would really lose consciousness and something might happen between them.

“I’ll drink.

Why don’t you sit at the side and watch?” Preston said.

“No.

If you’re drunk, I can’t help you,” Mina said awkwardly.

Previously, it was James’ people who helped Preston get to his room.

“Don’t worry.

I won’t get drunk,” Preston said.

Actually, he could drink alone.

However, he suddenly wanted someone to talk to.

“Sigh, alright.” Seeing that Preston insisted on drinking, Mina sighed and agreed.

At the wedding venue.

Julian toasted with Annalise.

Julian drank wine and Annalise drank fruit juice.

Most of the people were very enthusiastic.

They thanked Julian for his invitation and praised Julian and Annalise for being a match made in heaven.

They also wished them well, giving birth to a child soon and living happily ever after.

There were also people who liked to cause trouble and always wanted to find something to do.

For example, Jessy, who had been quiet for a long time, started speaking sarcastically again.

“Julian, you’re getting married today.

If Annalise doesn’t even drink when you go toasting everyone today, it would be insincere, no?” “She’s in a unique situation and can’t drink,” Julian said.

“What’s going on? Why do we have to use juice for a toast?” Jessy rolled her eyes.

In the past, she didn’t like Annalise because she looked down on her status.

At the moment, she didn’t like Annalise now because she was jealous of her brilliance.

Women! Women always made things difficult for their own.

“Stay here if you want to.

If you don’t, no one will keep you.” Julian glared at Jessy sharply.

It seemed to Julian that she had not learned her lesson from the telephone pole incident last time.

Jessy was speechless.

It was infuriating.

She shouted, “Grandpa, take a look at Julian.” Christopher frowned and said with the attitude of an elder, “Julian, no matter what your status is, you still have to be sincere when toasting.

There are so many guests today, and no one made things difficult for you to drink a big cup.

Such a small cup is just for show.

You should do it right.” “Annalise is pregnant and can’t drink,” Julian said in a low voice.

“What a joke.

Annie is drinking fruit juice all along and the other guests never say anything.

Yet, my own family makes it difficult for me,” he thought.

“Pregnant?” Christopher was stunned.

Then, he frowned and his face was filled with joy..

“Oh, she’s pregnant.

That’s good news.

That’s great.” He suddenly made a decision.

Previously, he had wanted to help the second branch fight.

Now, it seemed that there was nothing left to fight for.

The wisest decision was to completely take Julian’s side.

Since the second branch had already chosen Alexander, he wondered why couldn’t he choose Julian.

As he thought about it, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Julian.

“Good news, good news indeed.

Double the happiness.

Annalise, you’re pregnant.

You have to pay attention to all aspects.

You have to rest well and don’t tire yourself out.

If you want to eat anything, get the kitchen to cook..” “Grandpa…” Jessy immediately reached out to pull grandpa and called out to him softly.

Her lips were pouting high.

She didn’t ask him to praise Annalise.

She had asked him to stand up for her! “Sit down and eat!” Christopher scolded Jessy.

Jessy was confused.

“Huh? “Where am I? “What the hell was going on?” she wondered.

Annalise glanced at Jessy mockingly and said to the people at the table with a smile, “Thank you for coming to our wedding.

Everyone, have a good meal.” She held Julian’s arm and went to another table.

When she left, she glanced at Jessy again.

Her gaze looked frivolous, deliberately angering her.

Back then, she wouldn’t be bullied even when she was not the daughter of the Xander family.

She wasn’t about to be bullied now.

Behind them.
