Hester nodded gracefully. Fortunately, the dress was long enough. She nervously grasped the fabric of the dress, so no one could see anything unusual. The people made her a little dizzy. She took a deep breath to adjust her breath to avoid being too embarrassed.
"Why does Edmund suddenly have a granddaughter?"
"You don't know, do you! Miss Rosemary eloped with someone. I guess she was just found back!"
Terence frowned, listening to the discussion of the crowd, but more with a sense of ridicule. His sharp eyes made those people shut up and quietly leave.
"Of course, today is the first time that my granddaughter has shown up in public, and today is also the day that our Liu family and the Yu family realize the promise of marriage."
Edmund's voice was loud and joyful. The marriage was originally arranged for Rosemary. It was a pity that she left with that man.
The discussion became more heated. If the Liu family and the Yu family got married, they would be very powerful.
Looking at the exclamations in the crowd with satisfaction, Edmund only felt happy in his chest. The strong landscape that should have been formed many years ago finally came true.
"You're right. Today is also a good day for my granddaughter's engagement. Let's wish them happiness together!"
The crowd kept exclaiming. Then they saw that Derek slowly walked down the stage, held the back of Hester's hand with one hand and gently kissed her. There was a rare smile on his handsome face, cold and comfortable.
Hester's soul was already gone. The cold kiss on the back of her hand brought her back to her senses. Looking at the flawless face of Derek, she felt dizzy.
Derek held her in his arms in time. The hair on his forehead covered his eyes, making it hard to see his expression clearly.
"Nervous?"
His hot breath spra
eryone. But he was standing so close to them, how could he not hear their conversation?
He glanced at Edmund who could also hear their conversation and greeted him in silence. No wonder he was one of the best in the business world. How awesome he was to be calm and composed!
With an amiable smile, Edmund slowly walked down the platform. His crutch fell to the ground one by one. He walked straight to Leo and raised his hand to hit him.
Everyone's eyes were on the two people, Hester and Derek, so no one noticed anything in the corner.
Leo gave a snort and refrained himself from screaming. He looked at his grandfather sadly and didn't understand why he was hit.
He had been busy with Hester these days, so he didn't have time to make trouble!
"I heard that you like men?"
Edmund cast a cold glance at Leo, which chilled him to the bone. He stood there quietly, waiting for his rebuke.
"What? Who made this rumor? I will make him regret living in this world!"
Leo got furious at once. He thought of Derek at the first time, but he was not stupid enough to drag him down!
"Oh! Just now, Hester said that the reason why Derek married her was to have an affair with you! And he didn't deny it!"
