Chapter 767: Chapter 766: Yusuf Zuck Arrives

She came to block herself, she came to bite herself, she just wanted to say her final farewell in this manner.

She never complained about anything, despite crying in heartache, but she didn’t say a single word.

She just wanted to leave a mark on his arm, one she believed would never fade, a mark that would be remembered forever.

Yusuf Zuck had always known that Mia was intelligent, empathetic, and righteous, with many virtues, and she always tried her best to hide her flaws.

Though sometimes bold, her boldness only surfaced in front of Yusuf Zuck.

To deeply love someone, to wholly possess them is ideal, but when you cannot have them completely, you can only bury them deep in your heart.

In an instant, Yusuf Zuck understood the meaning behind Mia’s visit; she had buried him in the deepest recesses of her heart, and she was about to start a new life.

Yusuf Zuck got out of the car, looked up at the building for a moment, and then took a step towards the south.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Dragon Rise Hotel.

Dragon Rise Hotel is one of the Tuff family-owned hotels, known for its low profile, the Tuff family’s wealth was indeed substantial.

Today, the banquet hall of the Dragon Rise Hotel was closed to the public because Mr. Tuff’s daughter was going to hold her engagement ceremony there.

The guest list was extensive, including people from domestic, Hong Kong, and overseas circles, even the Chief Executive was present by invitation.

Mia had arrived in Hong Kong by private jet half an hour ago and was then taken directly to the presidential suite of the Dragon Rise Hotel, where a whole host of people were waiting on her, and even the makeup artist was the most professional in the industry.

There were also about seven or eight evening gowns to choose from.

But Mia was not in high spirits, sitting silently in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artist work on her. There was still some redness around her eyes from recent crying.

"Knock, knock, knock..." the knocking sounded, followed by Ross’s mother pushing the door to the makeup room open a crack, whispering, "Miss, Mr. Cunningham wants to see you!"

"Oh," Mia murmured, neither agreeing nor refusing to see him.

However, Antoine Cunningham burst in anyway. The Mongolian man was still his usual self, and laughter followed soon after he entered.

"Let’s hold off on the makeup for now, I have something to say to Mia," Antoine Cunningham instructed.

"Yes." The makeup artists and stylists responded before exiting the room.

Mia didn’t turn around; she just looked at herself in the mirror, and at Antoine Cunningham.

"I’ll just say a few words," Antoine Cunningham said. "If you disagree, I can take you away right now. We can go play on the great plains, your dad can’t control me there!"

"Kid, don’t force yourself to do something you don’t want to," Antoine Cunningham suddenly sighed.

"I’m not forcing myself; this is it. I can’t let everyone down, thank you, Uncle Cunningham!" Mia stuck out her tongue playfully as she spoke.

"Did you see him in the capital?" Antoine Cunningham asked in surprise.

Mia’s eyes reddened, and she silently nodded.

"What did he say?" Antoine Cunningham asked in a serious tone.

"I didn’t tell him I was engaged. Maybe he knows by now? But it’s too late, what difference does it make?" Mia said with a bitter shake of her head.

"As far as I know, Skeward Investment Company is very strong and has relationships with several large foreign consortia. If they are willing to help, your father should be able to get through this crisis!" Antoine Cunningham thought for a moment and said.

"Skeward Company was nearly taken over before and must have been weakened. Someone is targeting the Tuffs Family, and their Skeward Company is also in a precarious position. Although I admit he has some ability, the power of one person ultimately can’t turn the tide. I can’t let my crisis affect him; that wouldn’t be fair to him. Actually, he’s a very straightforward person who’s never liked scheming!"

"Your marriage might not be a happy one!" Antoine Cunningham sighed and said, "Zach Haney’s scandals are even more numerous than those of celebrities."

Mia looked blankly at herself in the mirror, "To use my life to overcome a hardship of the Tuff family’s wealth; this is also my repayment for my father’s parenting. What does filial affection count for in such matters?"

"I’ve heard rumors these past few days that many businessmen have died. People say it was his doing because the crisis at Skeward was resolved after his return, and many from the business community have disappeared."

"I believe it was his doing, but in doing so, he has also angered certain people and crossed some lines. Therefore, his Skeward is still in danger, which is why I shouldn’t make him any more enemies at this time."

"Knock, knock, knock—" At that moment, someone knocked on the door again, and Ross’s mother, with a somewhat troubled expression, opened the door and said, "Miss, Mr. Zach Haney is here. He says the time has come to take you downstairs."

"Alright, indeed, it’s time, heh heh." Mia supported herself up from the dressing table and wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue before she walked over to Antoine Cunningham and hugged him gently, "Thank you, Uncle Antoine. When this is over, you should return to the grasslands."

"I will. I’ve already booked my ticket for tonight. I’m not planning to attend your engagement ceremony either." Antoine Cunningham sighed once more before turning and walking out of the makeup room.

Outside the makeup room, there stood a young man in a white suit with a Chen Haonan "Young and Dangerous" hairstyle, very handsome, around thirty years old, extremely good-looking, and also appeared very fit.

When Antoine Cunningham walked out, the young man gave him a slight smile, but Antoine Cunningham ignored him. Not everyone in this world could make Antoine Cunningham smile.

This man was Mia’s fiance, Zach Haney, the young Sect Leader of the Haney Family.

Although Antoine Cunningham did not acknowledge him, he simply smiled and looked up, seemingly unworried by the lack of attention.

Mia gracefully stepped out wearing a purple evening gown, her bare shoulders shining; she looked especially beautiful at that moment. She was a classic beauty, so after the makeup artist’s work, she truly looked like a princess.

"Lara, it’s time. Let’s go downstairs together." Zach Haney walked over to Mia as a gentleman, extended his hand, and gestured for her to put her hand on his.

Mia wore gloves, and without any hesitation, she then held his hand and walked out with him.

Since things had already come this far, she had to continue to bear it because today was very important for the future of the Tuffs Family enterprise. At the very least, appearances had to be maintained.

The two entered a private elevator, followed closely by Ross’s mother.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, and then music began to play, with an MC speaking in Cantonese about something.

Today was only the engagement ceremony. The guests present were merely witnesses, and after the ceremony, it would signify the formal alliance between the Tuffs and Haney Clans through marriage.

Mia didn’t smile, but she didn’t cry either. She walked past the clapping crowd with the handsome Zach Haney, slowly making her way to the stage.

The MC kept effusively praising the couple, and the audience clapped enthusiastically. Marco Tuff, sitting below the stage, was smiling, occasionally bowing his head to whisper with an old man beside him.

The old man, dressed in a Tang suit, looked content as he watched the well-matched couple; he was Zach Haney’s grandfather, the Family Head of the Haney Family.

Antoine Cunningham left the banquet hall and took a deep look back before walking out with two burly Mongolian men like Golden Protectors.

He didn’t want to attend an engagement ceremony that was merely a union of interests; he didn’t want to see Mia’s feigned smile.

When he reached the elevator, the doors opened just as he arrived, and that’s when a man wearing a white suit with a boutonniere appeared before him.

Antoine Cunningham’s eyes suddenly widened in surprise!

"Ah, Mr. Cunningham, perfect timing. Could you check if this suit fits me? Is the boutonniere crooked? Please help me straighten it. I just snatched this from a clothing store; it wasn’t tailor-made..." Yusuf Zuck stood in front of Antoine Cunningham and asked for his help in adjusting his attire!
