“You don’t know her,” Alexander said.
Brandon almost cursed at him. ‘What the h*ck! Someone I don’t know?! It’s akin to him not answering.’
But then again, if she was someone Brandon did not know, then she was likely not someone who was from a wealthy or famous family. He might not know all the eligible bachelors, but he knew all eligible ladies of their circle.
Brandon was not bragging but could name all the ladies and mention their characteristics, who was beautiful, who was bad-tempered, or who had outstanding talent.
Alexander said that Brandon did not know her. Did he mean that she was not one of these ladies? What background did she have then? Is she a peasant? No way! The Russells were an influential and wealthy family. How could they allow him to marry a peasant?
“Even if I don’t know her, she must still have a name, right? Also, will your family allow you to marry a peasant? Don’t tell me you fell in love with Cinderella. Please wake up! The Cinderella story is a mere fairytale for innocent girls. Don’t tell me you believe in such love!”
Alexander looked at Brandon coldly as he was too noisy. Brandon stopped his words and was quiet for a moment. However, he still could not help but continue pestering Alexander, “Let’s put my wayward sister aside for now. It would help if you thought of your family and family business. Would they allow an ordinary girl to marry into the Russell family?”
“She’s not ordinary.” Lily was never ordinary to him. She was special, unique, and the one and only! ‘Ordinary?! No, she never was!’
Alexander continued before Brandon could continue, “Besides, I don’t need a marriage to maintain the business. As for my family, I’m the one who was marrying her. I don’t need others’ consent.”
Brandon wanted to do a live broadcast. ‘Come, everyone! Look at this extinct species!’
But he could not, considering his sister and Alexander’s special status. He never imagined that Alexander, the big CEO, was so naive when he was in love.
