Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Natalie Rogers Invites Aria Richardson to Dinner

Isla Sue tightened her grip, nodding, "Mm, this girl just has a fever. If she’s not feeling well, she should sleep early."

Hope Williams couldn’t find any flaw in this excuse.

Hope pursed her lips, still worried about Aria Richardson and Alexander Knox’s situation. The key aspect really depended on what Isla Sue and Miac Richardson intended.

"Aunt Sue, can I ask what you and Miac plan for Aria and Alexander’s marriage?"

Isla paused for two seconds, took a deep breath, and said, "Well... the marriage will naturally happen."

Hope tightened her grip on the teacup, "Has Aria agreed?"

Isla’s eyes wavered in her sockets, "Mm, after all, they did have feelings for each other before; breaking up was just a minor quarrel."

Noticing Isla’s evasive eyes, Hope knew things weren’t like that, "Aunt Sue, this doesn’t seem like Aria’s character."

She had known Aria for many years and was familiar with her nature. Once Aria made up her mind, she wouldn’t easily compromise.

Hope put down the teacup, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "Aunt Sue, I think you also wish for Aria’s happiness. They..."

Isla lifted her eyes, interrupting Hope, "Little Hope, I know what you’re trying to say, but compared to Young Master Lewis from your family, we believe more in Aria being happy with Alexander. Our family has truly decided that Aria will marry Alexander, no need to say more."

Isla spoke resolutely.

"But..." Hope opened her mouth, seeing that even Isla, who had always doted on Aria, had made up her mind, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

No matter what, she was an outsider. This was Richardson Family’s business, and she shouldn’t interfere too much with their decisions.

"Aunt Sue, when Aria wakes up, can you have her call me back?"

Isla nodded, "Okay."

Hope sighed, "Alright then, Aunt Sue, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."

"Mm, in that case, I won’t insist you stay for dinner." Isla said politely.

Hope got up, glanced upstairs, and had no choice but to leave first.

Seeing Hope leave, Isla sighed, then walked upstairs, intending to go to Aria’s room when Miac Richardson came out of the study.

Miac’s face didn’t look good, glancing at Isla.

Isla directly gave him a glare.

Miac knew she was resentful that he had locked Aria in the room, wanting to give him the cold shoulder.

Miac, feeling helpless, could only first compromise and step forward, "You go ask her to change and go to the Knox Family."

Isla frowned slightly, "What are we going to the Knox Family for at this time?"

"Mrs. Knox invited Aria for dinner to apologize to her."

Isla was taken aback, "Who did you say? Natalie Rogers is going to apologize to our Aria? Are you kidding? How is that possible?"

Isla still remembered how that woman had scolded her daughter.

It’s only been two days, and she’s saying she wants to apologize? Who would believe that?

Miac said, "Alexander coming with the betrothal gifts suggests that he must have persuaded his mom. Whether she truly intends to apologize or not, since she invited Aria, we can’t just ignore her gesture, right?"

Isla felt that woman had no good intentions and didn’t want Aria to go at all.

Seeing Isla standing still, Miac frowned, "Are you going or not? If you won’t, I’ll go myself."

Miac, holding back his anger, walked to Aria’s door and knocked, "Aria."

...No response.

Miac called out again, but the response was still silence.

Miac became even more frustrated, everyone was being difficult.

He directly grasped the doorknob, and with a twist, the internal string tugged.

Miac pushed the door open and walked in...

"Woosh."

A cloud of smoke enveloped, powdery substances cascaded down on his head.

Miac stood there, momentarily stunned.

Isla, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help covering her mouth, "Oh my."

No need to guess whose masterpiece this was.

Fuming, Miac opened his mouth to roar, "Aria! Ugh..." ending up with a mouthful.

Aria stood in the room, glanced casually, and stuck out her tongue, "Hmph, deserved."

Miac wiped his face messily and strode toward Aria, "You... You’re just being ridiculous."

Aria scrambled to hide behind Isla, "Serves you right for locking me in the room."

"You!" Miac almost fainted from anger, wiping his face again, pointing at the door, "Fine, I’m not arguing with you now. Change your clothes and go out."

"You’re letting me go out?" Aria’s eyes lit up.

"To the Knox Family, Mrs. Knox has invited you for dinner." Miac gritted his teeth; his daughter really drove him crazy.

"I’m not going."

Hearing it was that old woman inviting her, Aria was adamant, "She’s always disliked me. Suddenly inviting me to dinner, what good intentions could she have?"

Miac’s pale face, combined with his writhing expression, made him look more like an evil spirit with his teeth bared. He shouted angrily, "Being invited to the Knox Family, how could it harm you?"

Aria, raising her voice, retorted defiantly, "You’re not her; how do you know there’s no malice in her heart?"

"And you’re not her, so tell me, how do you know she definitely plans to hurt you? What if she’s truly realized her mistake and wants to apologize to you? Besides, at the Knox Family, with Old Lady Mrs. Knox and Alexander there to protect you, what are you afraid of?"

"I said I’m not going, and that’s final."

A servant hurried over cautiously, "Sir, Ma’am, Miss, Mrs. Knox’s car is downstairs, along with Mrs. Knox herself."

Isla frowned, "Natalie Rogers personally coming to pick up Aria?"
