Chapter 422 - The Play Behind The Banquet

If a member of the extended family got married, shouldn't they ask for the blessing of their family's head?

Even though Lilia didn't know Samuel very well, judging from their previous meeting, he wasn't one to let his family members act recklessly.

When these three people walked into the hall, Lilia tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes. "Does Samuel Hiroshi really not know? Shouldn't Sasha have told him that she is getting married?"

Jean climbed the stairs slowly while constantly reminding his wife to be careful and watch her way. At the same time, he said in a low voice, "Sasha has her own plan, I'll find out about it later."

Lilia just replied with an 'oh' but she still felt something was strange.

What was that woman planning?

Was this engagement ceremony really just a ploy that Sasha prepared?

Out of curiosity, Lilia walked into the building while still deep in thought.

The inside of the building looked colorful because of the warm light. The guests could see the photos displayed on the walls. From a distance, this photo-filled wall felt exactly the same as the one Lilia made in her house.

After Lilia sat down, she almost lost her mind. When she saw the photos on the wall, she shook her head slightly and slowly turned her gaze to look elsewhere. It could be said that Tom and Sasha's dinner banquet today had consumed a lot of her energy.

The mansion's living room was large enough to accommodate forty to fifty people at a time. Three rows of sofas surrounded on three sides. On the large dining table in the center was a heart-shaped cake with Sasha's photo printed on it.

Jazz music could be heard clearly from the speakers on the roof of the room. 

Lilia sat beside Jean. Feeling tired from thinking all kinds of things, Lilia leaned her head on Jean's shoulder and whispered, "If you didn't tell me that Sasha had a plan of her own, I'd have really thought that they would... really get engaged."

Jean sat up straight and let his wife rest on his shoulder. He then stroked Lilia's head gently and said to her after looking around coldly, "We have to stay alert."

Lilia glanced at him without saying a word. However, she couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The decoration of this room felt so overwhelming, especially since it was filled with colorful balloons and ribbons. What's more, the couple's pictures on the wall were just too many!

Maybe Tom wanted to use his own way to make everyone see his dedication and affection for Sasha.

But still… this was too much!

The thing that bothered Lilia the most was clearly the photos on the wall.

If the biggest picture in the middle was Tom and Sasha kissing, it might not have bothered her.

But what bothered her the most was that this entire photo wall was no different from the one at the Lakeside Villa!

Lilia didn't mind what this Tom had prepared, but it really was too shocking for her. Moreover, most of these photos were showing Sasha's face so Lilia was not comfortable seeing it.

Now the time had shown seven o'clock in the evening.

Jean and Alex held their wine glasses and chatted together, while Lilia sat next to her husband and sent messages via her cellphone.

From time to time, servants passed by and delivered all kinds of food to the guests. Before this, they offered salads, appetizers and pastries.

A few minutes later, the door to the living room opened again. And the figure of a person riding a wheelchair immediately caught Lilia's attention.

That's Chris!

He appeared much less in Lilia's style, wearing casual and less formal clothes. His huge body still carried a manly aura even though a blanket covered his legs. 

When Chris went inside, his pair of eyes quickly scanned the entire room. Without saying anything, he licked his lips in disgust.

Alan walked behind him and was in charge of pushing Chris's wheelchair.

This was Alex's first meeting with Chris after he was admitted to the hospital. Alex immediately stood up with his wine glass and walked over to Chris. He looked at the man and said in a gentle tone, "Has your body recovered?"

Chris stared at him, hearing these words made him feel like a weak person.

He raised his hand to take the blanket on his lap, then tried to stand up slowly while holding the back of the wheelchair. Carefully and slowly, he was finally able to stand up straight. "That boy is finally engaged and celebrating it. Even though I'm still sick, I still have to come and share the joy."

Alan pulled the wheelchair from behind Chris and pushed him to the corner of the wall. After he put the wheelchair aside, Alan walked over and tapped Chris on the shoulder. "You can't stand for long, we better find a place to sit."

Chris glanced at him and shrugged his shoulders. The doctor said that I was okay, you are too…. Cough, cough, cough...."

Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but feel the cough that jerked his whole body.

How annoying!

Alan stared at him silently, his eyes secretly filled with evil intent.

Alex shook his head and laughed. He rubbed Chris' back with his hand and slowly said to him, "It's okay, don't try to be strong. After all, your face is still pale like a sick person. Are you cold? Want to borrow my jacket or do you want to put on your blanket?"

Chris took a deep breath, he really hated being treated like a weak person like now. He glared at Alex and parried the hand that was on his back.

In the end, Chris turned his head and glared at Alan. The look in his eyes had said everything for him, he was tired!

After being helped to walk to the sofa, Chris breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Jean and said to him, "Jean, when did you find out about this engagement banquet?"

Jean thought for a moment and answered casually, "Last week."

Chris furrowed his brows, so fast?

After he looked away, Chris chuckled to call out to Alex. "How about you?"

"Tonight!"

Chris furrowed his brows even harder. After thinking, he saw the red wine on the table and said to Alex, "Pour me a glass."

Alex looked at him and replied, "Are you sure you can drink?"

"Drinking a little wine won't kill me!" Chris got a little annoyed. After accepting the wine that Alex had poured out, he lowered his voice and said to him, "Why do I feel that Tom and Sasha's engagement is a bit strange?"

When Alex sat down after handing Chris and Alan two glasses of wine, he answered with a chuckle, "Regardless, we should rejoice at their happiness. Let's watch this exciting engagement!"

Chris took a light sip of the red wine, he felt like there was a hidden agenda behind all this. For a moment, he kept this premonition in his heart and said to Alex, "The last time I heard it, the culprit who stabbed me was poisoned. Is that true?"

Chris only found out about this incident not long ago.

After his body recovered a little, he began investigating the incident.

Unfortunately, the person who stabbed him was poisoned in prison.. The person was immediately rushed to the hospital and there was still no news about whether he had regained consciousness or not.
