Chapter 714: Chapter 714: It’s Over, The Daughter-in-Law Ran Away

"Ah?" Isla Sue held the two billion check in her hand, only feeling it was burning hot, and her face became increasingly unnatural. "Old Lady Mrs. Knox, this...isn’t it a bit too fast? I think we should ask the two kids for their opinion."

Old Lady Mrs. Knox continued to smile kindly, "We have no problem here; it’s just a matter of how Aria feels."

Miac Richardson chuckled, "The two of them are in love with each other; naturally, they both want to get married quickly, and Aria definitely has no objec..."

Isla Sue lightly nudged Miac Richardson with her elbow.

Miac Richardson was puzzled.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox continued, "Then how about we set the engagement banquet for the eighth of next month? I’ve checked the date; it’s a good day for marriage."

"Alright, alright, no problem, everything will be done according to your wishes." Miac Richardson readily agreed, his face full of cheer.

"Hold on."

Aria Richardson rushed in from outside, seeing the red boxes filling the living room, she frowned.

"Grandma Knox, Mom, Dad, this matter..."

Isla Sue quickly stood up and walked to Aria’s side, shaking her head.

"Look at this girl, she’s back so soon." Miac Richardson smiled, "Aria, come over, we’re discussing the date for you and Alexander’s engagement banquet."

Aria’s gaze was bewildered as she looked at Alexander Knox sitting on the sofa, with his fingers intertwined!

He clearly knew she had proposed a breakup, so what was this all about now? Forcing her?

Alexander Knox’s faint gaze looked at her, the expression in his eyes was utterly calm, as if this betrothal gift had been discussed and agreed upon with her long ago.

"Aria, come sit by Grandma." Old Lady Mrs. Knox patted the seat next to her, her face full of kindness.

Aria stood still.

As if she hadn’t heard.

Seeing her lack of response, Isla Sue looked anxious and gently pushed her from behind.

"Aria." Miac Richardson reminded Aria with a call.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox also noticed Aria’s odd behavior and gently asked, "What’s wrong with Aria?"

Aria pressed her lips tightly, organizing her words before speaking, "Grandma Knox, actually, Alexander and I have already..."

"Aria!" Alexander Knox suddenly spoke, his voice raising slightly, calling out to Aria.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the living room became inexplicably oppressive.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox and Miac Richardson exchanged glances between the two, not understanding, Old Lady Mrs. Knox asked, "Already what?"

Isla Sue furrowed her brows, her heart in her throat, and whispered in a lowered voice by Aria’s side, "Aria, don’t cause trouble now. The betrothal gifts are already on display here, do you want them to take them back? That would be a public slap to the Knox Family’s face. Don’t make trouble."

Looking at Old Lady Mrs. Knox’s loving and hopeful eyes, Aria’s gaze trembled.

Alexander Knox stood up, walked to Aria, and gently took her hand, speaking warmly, "Grandma, Aria wants to say we’ve discussed it and will follow your arrangement for the engagement banquet."

Old Lady Mrs. Knox and Miac Richardson’s smiles spread wide.

At this moment, a servant entered and said, "Sir, Madam, distinguished guests have arrived outside."

Isla Sue turned to look at the servant, "Distinguished guests? Who?"

"It’s Madam Lewis and Young Madam Lewis."

Isla Sue raised her eyebrows, "Quick, invite them in."

Alitzel Williams had long wanted to visit the Richardson Family with Hope Williams to connect intimately, but entering to see the hall almost filled with boxes, Alitzel Williams felt a sense of foreboding.

Hope Williams’s gaze flickered, her eyes scanning the boxes filling the hall, and then looking at Old Lady Mrs. Knox and Alexander Knox, instantly understanding everything.

"Mrs. Richardson, we came uninvited; please don’t mind."

"Of course not, we’re more than happy to have you as our guests."

Alitzel Williams was inwardly a ball of nerves but maintained a perfect smile.

"What’s going on here?" Alitzel Williams blinked. She naturally realized the situation but was still unwilling to give up asking.

"Madam Lewis, your timing is perfect; we are discussing the children’s marriage with the Knox Family."

"Ah? This...like this?" Alitzel Williams couldn’t keep smiling.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Isla Sue blinked, looking at Alitzel Williams’s stiff expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Madam Lewis, what’s the matter?"

Inside, Alitzel Williams was already on the verge of tears.

The Knox Family has sent betrothal gifts to the Richardson Family? What about her son?

Alitzel Williams anxiously looked towards Hope Williams.

The look in Alitzel Williams’s eyes seemed to be saying, ’It’s over, my daughter-in-law’s been stolen.’

Hope Williams just wanted to say something when Alitzel Williams had already gone over to hold Isla Sue’s hand, earnestly advising, "Mrs. Richardson, Aria is still young; there’s no rush for her to marry, is there? There are many talented young men out there, why not look around more, like my youngest son, he’s quite good."

"Ah?" Isla Sue’s mouth was agape in shock.

Alitzel Williams’s words were clear—don’t rush the marriage, wait for my son.
