The Heiress Who Took Revenge
“I figured since you're getting engaged, you'll need several outfits, so I had a designer overseas specially customize a few. Quick, see if any of them work.” “…” Hearing Colton say this, Eliza felt even more distressed. Now they probably wouldn't be able to do anything else today but try on clothes at home. “It’s okay, there are models.” Nolan seemed to see that Eliza didn't want to change clothes, so he reached out and patted Eliza's head. He had known long ago that Eliza wouldn't want to change so many times, so he had specially brought several models with figures similar to Eliza's. He had the models wear the clothes to see the effect, and if the effect was good, they would keep them. Although Eliza didn't have to do anything, she still needed to see which set she liked the most. Nolan specially selected a few. Because he knew Eliza didn't like trouble, these outfits were all carefully chosen by him and particularly suited Eliza's taste. But the clothes Halbert sent were a different story. Halbert wished he could send all the best clothes in the world to Eliza, which resulted in the models being nearly exhausted, having only tried on one-third of the outfits. “I can't, I really can't take it anymore. My eyes are blurring over from watching!” Colton had long known the Sue family doted on Eliza, but he didn't know they doted on her this much. They had actually sent over so many beautiful clothes. Even if they spent three days and three nights, they wouldn't be able to pick one. Even the usually good-tempered Lewis couldn't help but rub his temples when he saw so many clothes. “It’s really too much. I don't think I can look at them all. Why don't we just forget it.” “That's right. I really like the few sets Nolan gave me. No need to try the others.” “How can that be?” Suddenly, a voice reached everyone's ears. When the group looked up, they found the person who had arrived was none other than Halbert. “All these dresses were air-freighted over by me. You have to pick at least one.”Halbert said, “Or does my little sister think my taste is bad, so she doesn't like a single one?” Halbert's intimidating aura immediately flared up. Eliza naturally couldn't say his chosen clothes were ugly to his face. She could only randomly point to one set and say, “I think this one is good. Let's go with this one.” “This light blue one is nice, but a bit plain. I see there are many others in the same color family. Look more carefully.” “No need, I really think it's enough.” Eliza was complaining bitterly. If she had known the engagement party had so many rules, she shouldn't have let Nolan publish it in the papers. Casually hosting a family dinner would also have been enough to invite Tyson. Now, the matter had blown up, and all of Westbrook's powerful figures were attending their engagement party. Who knew how much trouble would be stirred up at the party. Halbert tapped Eliza's head and said, “Not enough. Big Brother said to let me handle the Westbrook matters, and that includes your engagement party. When the time comes, you need to hold another one overseas. There will be more clothes to pick.” When she heard they had to hold another engagement party overseas, Eliza felt like the sky was falling. Eliza said, “It's just an engagement party, and it has to be held twice? If I get married in the future, will I have to do it twice too?” “Good idea. I will discuss this proposal with Tristan. One wedding in Westbrook, one overseas. This arrangement is very proper.” “…” Eliza was just saying it casually; she had no intention of having two weddings. Nolan, at the side, said, “As long as Eliza likes it, any number of times is fine.” Hearing Nolan say this, Eliza glared at him. Only then did Nolan obediently shut his mouth.Colton and Lewis had known Nolan for so long and had never seen him so afraid of a woman. It seemed he was going to be thoroughly henpecked in the future. “Ahem! I pity you.” Colton patted Nolan's shoulder. Nolan indifferently brushed his hand off. “You don't understand. This is love.” “…” Colton's mouth twitched. He didn't understand. He didn't plan on getting a wife in this lifetime. Being controlled by his parents at home was already annoying enough. To find a wife to control him in the future, too? That was simply not a life fit for humans. “You'll regret this in the future.” Colton grumbled, but didn't say anything more. Lewis said, “We've been in Westbrook these past few days, observing Tyson's movements. Usually, he handles company business as normal, with no unusual actions. But behind the scenes, he's been in constant contact with foreign parties, developing business. In my opinion, Tyson isn't clean.”
