Marsh Smith and Ava Wright got engaged, two years earlier than in the previous life.
In the previous life, when they got engaged, Amelia Wright was disfigured and miserably shrank in the Imperial Garden. Later, Godfery Shaw forcefully helped her, and she finally stood up again to face life.
Looking at the two of them getting engaged now, she feels no sadness.
Her appearance today is just to make everyone know that she returned to the Wright family because Oliver Wright forced her, and Oliver Wright has taken a liking to her talent and wants to forcibly keep her in the Wright family’s company.
She intends to gradually build momentum, enough to crush Oliver Wright.
As for Marsh Smith, Amelia Wright has no time to bother with him now.
"Let go!" Amelia Wright looked at Marsh Smith with a cold gaze and said, "Marsh Smith, you and Ava Wright are a natural pair. Why would I provoke you?"
Marsh Smith didn’t let go; instead, he got closer, cornering Amelia Wright against the wall.
"Amelia Wright, no matter what you think, there are things I can’t tell you right now. But let me tell you, sooner or later, you will be mine. You are not allowed to get too close to other men."
Amelia Wright’s eyes slightly lifted.
What does Marsh Smith mean by those words?
Over the recent months, having confronted Marsh Smith multiple times, he never gained any advantage. He should have understood her attitude and refrained from saying such things.
Is he plotting something again?
Amelia Wright never revealed that she saved Marsh Smith initially because she wanted him to misunderstand.
She wants Marsh Smith and Ava Wright, the scumbag man and wicked woman duo, to be together.
Once they are together, she plans to gradually reveal the truth, letting Marsh Smith know he’s been deceived by Ava Wright for years. Such spousal conflict would be quite amusing.
But now, Marsh Smith’s determination to have her seems wrong.
Amelia Wright squinted her eyes slightly: "What do you mean by that?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novelFɪre.net
As Marsh Smith got closer, Amelia Wright’s back pressed against the wall. He suddenly laughed, "Call me Marsh, and I’ll tell you."
The Smith family and the Wright family are old family friends. Amelia Wright used to call Marsh Smith ’Marsh,’ just like Ava Wright.
Perhaps the current Amelia Wright seemed too weak and pitiful, Marsh Smith suddenly wasn’t angry anymore, thinking the person before him would belong to him anyway, and he wanted to hear her call him as she did before.
Hearing this, Amelia Wright was truly disgusted.
Marsh Smith held too tightly; Amelia Wright’s wrists turned red, and she couldn’t break free.
Just as Amelia Wright was about to forcefully act, someone suddenly opened the balcony door.
A tall man walked in just like that.
The already small balcony suddenly felt a bit crowded.
Marsh Smith saw Godfery Shaw suddenly appear and was about to speak when he groaned the next moment.
Godfery Shaw moved directly, punching Marsh Smith in the abdomen.
Marsh Smith felt pain and was forced to let go of Amelia Wright’s hand.
Being hit in front of Amelia Wright, Marsh Smith felt disgraced, knowing well that Godfery Shaw was someone he couldn’t provoke, but he still angrily said, "Young Master Shaw, what do you mean? This is my family’s banquet, what right do you have to hit someone?"
Godfery Shaw looked at Amelia Wright, using his gaze to ask if she was okay.
Amelia Wright slightly shook her head.
Godfery Shaw noticed Amelia Wright’s red wrist, and his eyes grew sharper.
He kicked Marsh Smith again, causing him to fall and sit on the ground, then he looked down at Marsh Smith and said, "Who told you to touch her?"
Marsh Smith was genuinely embarrassed and infuriated; nothing is more shameful than being hit in front of someone you like.
He clenched his teeth and said, "From what standpoint does Young Master Shaw say this? Amelia Wright and Julius Shaw are divorced; whoever she’s with has nothing to do with Young Master Shaw. Is Young Master Shaw by chance fond of his nephew’s ex-wife?"
Marsh Smith revealed a contemptuous look at Godfery Shaw as he said this.
Amelia Wright stood silently by the side; if Julius Shaw had come, she would definitely have to persuade him not to act impulsively.
But since Godfery Shaw came, and he is calm, whatever he wants to do, he succeeds in doing.
Indeed, Godfery Shaw calmly said, "Is Young Master Smith intending to let everyone at the birthday banquet see that you’re unclear about your engagement?"
Marsh Smith’s expression changed repeatedly.
The movements on their side had already drawn attention from people looking in their direction.
If it becomes too disruptive, it would affect his upcoming wedding, eliminating the possibility of a substitute bride.
Marsh Smith lowered his voice, "Young Master Shaw, haven’t you also gotten engaged? What are you fighting for?"
Two engaged men with one woman, on this small balcony, no matter what the relationship is, it’s hard to explain.
Amelia Wright frowned.
Godfery Shaw’s cold voice carried a dangerous tone as he said, "Is Young Master Smith questioning me?"
Suddenly, Marsh Smith felt cold sweat down his back, remembering some of Godfery Shaw’s decisive means.
Godfery Shaw isn’t like them, the playboy and wealthy second generation, he’s someone even his father didn’t dare to provoke.
Marsh Smith fell silent.
Godfery Shaw looked at Marsh Smith like he was watching a clown: "Even if she divorced the Shaw family, not just anyone can touch her. If Young Master Smith still wants to keep his hands, remember not to touch what you shouldn’t,"
Marsh Smith shivered, gave Amelia Wright a deep look, sensibly turned around, and left.
With a gloomy face, he pushed open the balcony door and walked out.
After leaving, Marsh Smith received a warning look from his father, and the gloominess on his face instantly disappeared, returning to his smiling, gentle demeanor.
Yes, no need to be angry; sooner or later, Amelia Wright will be his.
Waiting for the day Amelia Wright becomes his woman and obediently calls him Marsh, he really wants to see what reaction Godfery Shaw would have then.
Marsh Smith glanced again at the quiet balcony, his eyes flickering, and went to greet the guests.
After Marsh Smith left, only Godfery Shaw and Amelia Wright remained on the balcony.
Godfery Shaw’s tone was as cold as before, saying, "The Wright family and Marsh Smith harbor ill will toward you; be more careful."
Amelia Wright responded coldly as well, "I understand, thank you for helping me out today, Young Master Shaw."
Their conversation was as calm as between strangers.
Godfery Shaw didn’t say anything else and turned to leave, brushing past Amelia Wright.
It was as if he appeared unintentionally, helped Amelia Wright unintentionally, and didn’t want to linger at all.
Perhaps it was the small balcony, their shoulders briefly touched and quickly separated.
Godfery Shaw’s eyes darkened; this unnoticeable light touch was the closest distance he could get.
Amelia, you promised, you would wait for me.
Even if you only waited for Julius Shaw, that’s okay...
Amelia Wright looked at Godfery Shaw’s back with complex emotions.
Godfery Shaw, Julius Shaw, gratitude, love, marriage, children, everything was too complex.
So complex that Amelia Wright couldn’t cut through the chaos decisively.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, walked out of the balcony, and returned to the venue.
Godfery Shaw had already left, was he here for the birthday banquet, or just passing through the hotel?
Amelia Wright no longer thought about it, returning to her previous position.
Most of the people gathered before hadn’t left yet.
Immediately someone asked with concern, "Miss Wright, you’re back; Marsh Smith didn’t do anything to you, right?"
Amelia Wright shook her pale and weak head, hastily hiding her right hand behind her back.
If she didn’t hide it, perhaps no one would notice; by hiding it, she actually made everyone notice the red marks on her wrist.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds, that hypocrite Marsh Smith!
At the engagement banquet, he still bullied another girl.
This Amelia Wright is truly miserable, oppressed by the Shaw family, forced by the Wright family, even a mere Marsh Smith can bully her at will.
