Chapter 631
And all of this was happening in public. By all reason, Michael should at least give Sonya a shred of dignity.
Hearing the commotion, Oscar hurried over to Sonya.
He had returned to the city with Sonya on short notice, and Michael’s new restaurant was hosting a small gathering of distinguished guests, so he decided to bring her along.
On the way, he had even called Michael, insisting that he come pick her up. Michael had resisted at first, but eventually he came.
Oscar knew full well that Michael was reluctant about the marriage arrangement he had orchestrated behind his back. But a woman like Sonya-an exceptional match-was rare even among the elite. Add to that Michael’s sentimental nature and their past acquaintance, and arranging this union would be far easier than forcing a match with any other wealthy family.
Moreover, Oscar had just learned at the event that Sonya had secretly admired Michael since their college years. She had never been involved with anyone else and had been patiently waiting for Michael all these years.
Such an opportunity was too good to pass up. He immediately negotiated with Sonya’s family to make the match official. After all, Michael had promised he would soon choose a spouse-why not select someone familiar and well-suited?
Sonya, naturally shy, had wanted to decline, but Oscar personally ensured Michael’s agreement, leaving her with no reason to hesitate.
Oscar had intended to give the young couple some space, so he first went upstairs to socialize with friends and other VIPS. But barely had he left when he heard that Michael was in trouble again.
Trailing behind Oscar were the Olson family, and of course, where Michael was concerned, Winnie was
involved.
A server quietly explained the situation to Oscar, and his expression darkened, nearly terrifying in its intensity.
Had they not learned their lesson last time? How dare they act so recklessly again?
Sonya saw Oscar approaching and felt her embarrassment deepen. She hadn’t even spoken before he arrived. She nodded politely, attempting to maintain composure.
“Oscar, I’m feeling unwell. I’ll take my leave for today.”
“Sonya, please wait. What happened just now must be a misunderstanding. Give me a moment-I’ll have my wayward son explain everything to you.”
Oscar grasped Sonya’s arm firmly.

Sonya forced a gentle smile. “Oscar, there’s no need to trouble yourself. Some things are meant to happen; others aren’t. It’s just an engagement. If Michael isn’t willing, we can end it amicably.”
The truth was, she had long harbored feelings for Michael but never confessed because she knew he liked Winnie. She had assumed that enough time had passed that Michael and Winnie were no longer involved-and finally, she might have her chance. Yet now… he still loved her.
Hearing Sonya try to soothe him only inflamed Oscar’s anger further. How could this fiancée be s better than that wild girl Winnie by a thousandfold?
“Who said anything about ending the engagement? In the Morrison family, our word is absolute. Un he no longer wants to be my son, there’s no way he would do such a foolish thing. That boy has a temper, yes, but I assure you, there must be some misunderstanding.”
Oscar’s voice was firm and serious. There were many VIPS present. His words were directed at Sonya, but they were meant for all to hear.
“Oscar, I think Michael has completely lost his mind, seduced by Winnie. His fiancée is here, yet he still drags Winnie away to whisper with her?”
Veronica couldn’t contain her indignation, adding fuel to the fire.
But her parents shot her a sharp look. “Veronica.”
Even the Olson couple looked uncomfortable. While they disliked Winnie and didn’t want her clinging to the Morrison family as a protector, Winnie publicly seducing Michael would inevitably bring
embarrassment to their household.
