Chapter 1287
Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 1287 Proposal Jane had planned this for a long time, and it was she who brought in all the reporters. She knew Karen liked Anthony, and if Anthony proposed, Karen would definitely say yes. As long as Karen said yes to Anthonyâs proposal in front of the press, the marriage between Anthony and Karen would be inevitable, even if the Reyes family disagreed.
By now, Layla was looking not too happy Jane glanced at her and chuckled as if nothing had happened. âMrs. Reyes, look, theyâre such a perfect match.â
âHeh, youâre well prepared for this secret rendezvous, eh? I forgot that youâve always been a schemer You also used such a tactic when you first came to the Mullen family. I didnât expect that after all these years, youâre still so insidious. I really underestimated you and your son.â Laylaâs voice was full of mockery and disdain.
Jane laughed, sounding indifferent. âDonât say that. Look, Karen is happy. Whatâs more important is that they are happy.â
Layla looked at her with disgust, not wanting to talk to her.
Satisfied, Jane smirked and looked toward the stage.
On stage, Anthony looked a little gloomy. But for his motherâs sake, he still handed a bouquet with a ring to Karen. Anthony could not care less, as he had no expectations of marriage anyway. It would be the same regardless of who he married. Since his mother wanted him to marry the woman before him, he would.
âWill you marry me?â he asked Karen without expression, his voice calm, devoid of emotions. Karen smiled happily and bashfully at his question. âWho would want to marry you?â Karen pretended to play hard to get.
Anthony sneered. âSo youâre not willing to? Forget it then.â With that, he took the flowers back.
Anxious, Karen grabbed the bouquet, not caring about her image âWho says Iâm not willing? Itâs just that you didnât even bother to coax me.â
âSo, by accepting the flowers, youâre agreeing to Anthonyâs proposal, arenât you?â Jane asked Karen, smiling to deliberately lighten up the atmosphere.
âI⦠Iâ¦â Karen looked bashful.
âMarriage is an important matter. I think itâs better to think it over Letâs talk it over between our two families later,â Layla said with a faint smile.
Anthony stood leisurely on the stage with one hand in his pocket, giving a pointed look at the two women under the stage.
Karen glanced at Anthony. She had liked Anthony for a long time. No way would she miss this opportunity when Anthony proposed to her She said to Layla, âMom, I have thought it over I love Anthony, and I want to marry him.â She looked at Anthony and said with determination, âAnthony. Iâll marry you!â
There was a burst of applause and blessings from under the stage.
Congratulations to the Mullen family and the Reyes family!â
âMr. Mullen and Miss Reyes are a match made in heaven.â
âIt looks like the Mullen and the Reyes are about to have a big celebration.â
While people off the stage were all applauding, a cold and sarcastic laugh from a woman rang through the room. It sounded incredibly jarring and instantly caught everyoneâs attention.
âAnthony is truly a womanizer. He had just gotten rid of his own baby and then proposed to a rich girl.
His ruthlessness is unparalleled.â
