Chapter 7
Sophia bit her lower lip so hard that it was about to bleed.
Meanwhile, Mia was confused.
She thought, “What are they talking about? A great match?
“And who is his grandson?”
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door.
Everyone looked over when they heard it. Arnold smiled and said, “He finally arrived.”
A tall man wearing a black suit walked over from behind the group of people. His tailored suit made him appear chilly and stern. His well–defined and attractive face was like a piece of artwork. His handsome features would grab anyone’s attention.
Many young women started murmuring and expressing surprise.
“Oh my god, it’s Mr. Hall!”
“He’s so handsome!”
“Yeah, he’s even more handsome than many actors and idols.”
Sophia jerked her head back.
As she saw the man walk over, her heart ached even more.
She had been harboring a secret love for him for many years.
The background images on her laptop and phone were all plastered with his photos. She believed that she would marry him eventually. However, her desires would be crushed. today.
As Brandon Hall passed by her and went towards Mia, she felt let down and furious, which was evident from her eyes.
Mia got a bad feeling when she saw this good–looking man approaching her.
While she was in a daze, he stood before he

Arnold was upset to hear that and said, “This is your fiancée, Brandon. Be nice.”
Upon hearing the word “fiancée“, Brandon raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a bit surprised.
But as he turned, his deep eyes lost their emotion, and a distant politeness took over. “Hello, I’m Brandon Hall.
Mia frowned at this emotionless greeting.
Although she didn’t like men, she was worried about the introduction she just heard.
“Grandpa, who is his fiancée? I’m not…” she looked at Andrew.
Andrew laughed. “You just got back and don’t know about this yet. Our families have been friends for generations. You were engaged at birth.”

“Engaged?!” she exclaimed with shock.
When did this happen? Why didn’t she know?
She subconsciously looked at her parents, only to see their happy yet embarrassed faces.
She suddenly recalled that her parents had mentioned that her grandfather would reveal something to the public tonight.
This was what he was going to reveal?!
As expected, Andrew lifted his wine glass and announced out loud in the middle of the room, “Welcome to the celebration of the Wilson and Hall families. We’ve been friends for many generations, and we arranged a marriage for our children at birth. With my granddaughter’s return, it’s time to make it happen.”
After hearing all of that, Mia was completely dumbfounded and wondered what was going

Although she was treated unfairly in the Smith family, she lived a happy and unrestricted life in secret.
She didn’t need a man to hold her back.
Her parents walked up to her, standing on either side of her. Lily interrupted her and said, “Mia, I know it’s too sudden. I’ll fill you in on all the details when we get home. Listen to your grandpa now, okay?”
“I…” Mia still wanted to speak, but Simba hushed her with a whisper. “Not now”
So for the sake of her parents and the reputation of the two families, she could only remain silent.

Considering this, she didn’t challenge And. words while other people were present. She glanced at Brandon and was surprised to see that he appeared indifferent, in contrast to her agitation.
As if sensing her gaze, Brandon looked back at her. He looked her up and down before turning his head away with contempt.
She thought in surprise, “Holy shit! What does he mean by that?
“He’s unhappy that we are engaged?!
“I don’t want to be engaged to him either!”
She was furious, but she could not stop everyone from raising their glasses to celebrate. Arnold was happy that Mia became his granddaughter–in–law.
Sophia was the only one who didn’t raise her glass. She stood in a corner alone and glared at Mia with resentment. She clenched her fists until her nails broke the skin of her palm and blood trickled out.
