"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.
