âYou, youâre the epitome of stupidity!â Zacharyâs mom slammed the table angrily, her headache becoming unbearable and her heart starting to hurt.
âLook at what youâve done to your poor mom!â Mr. Panter quickly comforted his wife, then said, âNext Monday is the wedding date we originally agreed on. Iâm only going to ask you once, are you sure you want to get engaged to her?â
âIâm sure!â Zacharyâs responded firm as if he had already decided to give everything for love.
âAlright, I respect your decision!â
âHoney!â Mrs. Panter wanted to say something, but Mr. Panter signaled her to calm down. Itâs just an engagement party. Letâs let the Murphy family lower their guard first. If they did something to disappoint Zachary, he can always call off the wedding.
âBut weâre old now, so youâll have to handle all the arrangements for the engagement party and the guests yourself.â Mr. Panter clearly didnât think much of the Murphy familyâs daughter or care about the wedding party.
But for Zachary, he preferred to handle it himself. He would consult Yoli and make sure the engagement party was to her liking.
Once Zachary left satisfied, Mrs. Panter couldnât hold her anger any longer. âYou didnât stop him, and you even encouraged his nonsense? That girl from the Murphy family isnât easy to deal with. Sheâs cunning! Zachary marrying her would be worse than marrying Arabella!â
âArabella is a piano master. Would she even look at your son? Donât worry. The Murphy family wonât last long, their financial problems worsen, and bankruptcy is imminent. We, the Panter family, always honour our commitments. Holding the engagement party as planned will give us a good reputation.â
âBut.â
âItâs just an engagement. Let the Murphy family think the wedding is a done deal. Once they canât keep their cool and do something to disappoint our son, calling off the wedding will be inevitable.â
âWhat if they donât do anything that disappoints Zachary?â
âDid you forget? A janitor raised that girl from the Murphy family. I found out that the Murphy family didnât treat the janitor well. After the engagement, if we really donât want to proceed, we can expose this scandal. If she canât even respect the woman who raised her for 18 years, how could she respect us after marriage?â âThat makes sense.â
âDonât worry, we need to help our son let go of her step by step.â
Meanwhile.
Romeo took Arabella out for lunch, and then brought her back to Moon Bay.
âTake a nap at my place today.â Romeo patted her head, âI need to get some work done in the study.
You rest first. Iâll take you somewhere in the afternoon.â
He had some urgent matters that needed to be dealt with on his computer.
âOkay.â
After Romeo left, Arabella cracked the combat system on her phone.
The system was complex, showing the high level of the team that developed it. But under her operations, the system was gradually cracked.
Later, she sent the cracked system over, and an additional gift, all in thirtyâtwo minutes.
After finishing her task, she went to the balcony to admire the beautiful flowers. Under the sunlight, the flowers were blooming in the wind, and the beautiful lake was sparkling.
In her spare time, she played on her phone while lying on the bed, sending the money she earned to her subordinates, and checking the task list to see if there were any simple and highâpaying tasks.
Meanwhile.
Carl excitedly called Romeo. âMr. McMillian, that Alex is unbelievable! She cracked the system in less than half a day and even gave us an extra gift.â
âWhat extra gift?â Romeo asked in a serious tone.
âHe figured weâd develop a new system after cracking the old one, so he provided us with a preliminary model of a new system. I didnât expect he to be so talented in this area! Mr. McMillian, should we bring him onto our team?â
