Chapter 526
“So, you’re Yolanda, huh? You look a bit different from the photos we’ve seen, your face seems quite plump. People usually say that’s a sign of good luck,” Auntie said with good intentions.
However, Yolanda immediately felt awkward upon hearing that.
She was beaten up by Ms. Archer’s men last night and her body was covered in bruises. She was dressed up in a trailing wedding gown and white gloves today, but the injuries on her face couldn’t be hidden, so she had to cover them with thick foundation.
It seemed that her face was much chubbier than before, and it looked way different from her previous photos.
But the elders liked girls who were plump.
“Over here, please,” Zachary tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Last night his arm was cut by his father, and he had to have surgery, but their engagement invitations had already been sent out and it would be awkward to cancel the event at the last minute.
This morning, Attlee, Olga Murphy, and Yolanda went to visit him, and the Murphy family even promised to give them land worth $600 million.
Zachary’s mother hated Yolanda to the bone even last night, but now suddenly she was all smiles. After all, she had to put on a caring act in front of a $600 million deal, “Yoli, are you tired?”
“Auntie, I’m not tired.”
You still call me Auntie; you’ll have to change that after the engagement party!”
Yolanda was taken aback, and then excitedly said, “Okay, I’ll definitely change it then!”
Mr. Panter originally hated the Murphy family to the core, but he thought a $600 million deal for an engagement party seemed like a good deal.
If things didn’t work out the way he wanted them to be, he could always find an excuse to kick the Murphy family out, so the engagement party could proceed as planned.
“Zachary, does your arm still hurt? Do you need a break?” Yolanda asked with concern.
Zachary’s heart softened when he thought about Yolanda visiting him today.
“I’m fine, do you need to go in and rest?”
Most of the people who came today were from Zachary’s side, only about seven or eight from the bride’s side, but that didn’t stop Attlee and Olga from having a good time.
“Yoli, my dad’s brother and my cousin are here!” Zachary softly reminded Yolanda.
They both had high business statuses, so Attlee and Olga wanted to take that opportunity to get closer to them.
But the cousin’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Yolanda, “I didn’t expect my brother’s fiancée to be so cute.”
“Cousin, you flatter me,” Zachary saw new guests arriving and went to greet them.
The cousin grinned at Yolanda, who blushed in response.
Seeing her reaction, he chuckled and continued, “I’ll add you on WhatsApp later, and we can chat about Zachary’s childhood stories!”
“Sure, big bro, Yolanda’s voice was sweet and coy.
The cousin didn’t expect Zachary, a strait–laced guy to have such a fiancée, which made him laugh even more, “Interesting.”
“Cousin, what’s so interesting? Tell me!”
“No, I just thought you’re really lucky,” The cousin patted his shoulder and was about to walk away, when he suddenly realized that Yolanda’s face looked familiar. He stepped back and took a closer look at Yolanda.
Zachary, thinking his cousin was interested in his fiancée, quickly pulled Yolanda into his arms, “Cousin, with that look in your eyes, people might think you’re interested in my fiancée.”
“Hahaha, I just thought she looked familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
If Yolanda hadn’t gained some weight, her face might have been recognized by the cousin.
But because her face was swollen, the cousin looked at her for a while and still couldn’t remember who she was, so he had to give up on that.
Half an hour later.
