Chapter 64 Cancel the Engagement
The next day, both of them woke up at the same time. After washing up, Suzy suddenly remembered the day before and asked, “By the way, what good news did you tell me yesterday?”
“Look at the news.”
After hearing this, Suzy applied her skincare products and returned to bed to take out her mobile phone. When she opened the news, she found that people on the Internet were discussing Alex’s plagiarism.
Most importantly, not only did something happen to ACLC’s gowns but a lipstick under their banner was also found to have violated the rules.
This lipstick had been on the market for a year. Not only was it good at coloration, but it was also not losing color while eating and drinking. Therefore, the sales had always been good, and it was loved by a large number of women.
It was okay for people to use it for one or two years, but if they used it for a long time, it would cause all kinds of problems, such as dark lips.
Not everyone could wear formal dresses, but lipstick… Almost everyone had one. At this moment, the Internet was in an uproar, and all kinds of curses were on the internet; they all demanded compensation from ACLC.
Initially, it was not a big deal for the dress to be plagiarized. Still, if something happened to this popular lipstick, it would have a more significant impact.
Suzy looked at Evan and immediately smiled. “Impressive, Mr. Hughes.”
Evan smiled slightly. “ACLC is finished this time.”
Not only ACLC but many Dreaming Pictures artists signed up for ACLC’s brand. Dreaming Pictures was implicated, and even the stock price of the Carters Group fell today.
This battle could be said to have been a beautiful one.
Janet and Alan packed their bosses’ things. Suzy and Evan left the hotel and took the private plane.
She had thought that they would go straight back to Somo City. After boarding the plane, Evan said, “Accompany me to Noto City.”
Suzy thought he had not finished his business in Noto City, so she did not ask any further questions. She replied, “Okay.”
They were busy with their own work on the plane. At about eight o’clock in the evening, Evan sent Suzy back to the hotel and left.
As the black Ferrari drove on the road, Evan felt a little depressed. He knew that if he wanted to be with Suzy, the biggest problem was not the Carters family but… the Smith family.
After about half an hour’s drive, it stopped at an ancient manor in the suburbs.
Evan got out of the car and opened the trunk. There were supplements and gifts of all sizes inside. The security guards outside the manor hurried forward to welcome him and took over the things in his hands.
Mr. Old Smith was sitting on the sofa when Evan entered the mansion. When Mr. Old Smith heard the voice, he immediately stood up.
Evan called out, “Grandpa.”
“Evan is here. Sit down.”
Mr. Old Smith walked forward to welcome him with a smile.
Evan sat on the sofa, and Mr. Old Smith instructed the servants to make tea. He chuckled and said, “Why did you suddenly visit me? Weren’t you in Poris yesterday?”
Mr. Old Smith guessed that something had happened to him, so he asked directly, “is there anything I can do for you?”
“Emm.” Evan nodded.
He looked at Mr. Old Smith.
“Grandpa, I want to see Wendy Smith.”
Wendy was the granddaughter that Mr. Old Smith doted on the most and Evan’s fiancée…
It was Mr. Old Smith and Evan who had agreed to the engagement.
From high school to studying abroad, Evan had always been approved by Mr. Old Smith. After Evan returned to the country, he proposed to borrow money from Mr. Old Smith.
One billion dollars.
At that time, Mr. Old Smith was stunned for two seconds, but then he smiled again.
“Evan, you’re the most important student I’ve ever sponsored. I dare to lend you one billion dollars. I believe you will earn it back soon.”
Evan was happy, but Mr. Old Smith continued, “However, I have a request. You have to be engaged with my granddaughter.”
At that time, all Evan could think about was revenge and benefits…
In terms of engagement, she was still Mr. Old Smith’s granddaughter. This engagement was highly beneficial to him.
Evan agreed right away.
What a joke. Evan had never seen the mysterious Miss Smith before.
Mr. Old Smith liked Evan very much. Evan was the person he valued the most. After so many years, Evan was indeed more outstanding and did not let him down.
Evan knew that it would be challenging to ask Mr. Old Smith for the dissolution of the engagement. The key lay in Wendy.
Hearing Evan’s words, Mr. Old Smith’s expression immediately changed, and his voice became a little heavy.
“Why are you suddenly thinking of Wendy?”
Evan said, “Grandpa, she’s my fiancée.”
It was not strange that he wanted to see Wendy, but Mr. Old Smith was weird.
Mr. Old Smith sighed. He glanced at Evan and then asked the servants to leave.
“Evan, to tell you the truth, if you don’t come to me, I will come to you in a while.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Upon hearing this, Evan paused for a moment. “Why is grandpa looking for me? Is he going to arrange an engagement between Wendy and me?”
Just as he was confused, Mr. Old Smith’s sad voice reached his ears.
“Actually, Wendy was lost when she was born.”
Evan frowned in disbelief. “Lost?”
After she was born?
“Yes.” Mr. Old Smith sat on the sofa, looking downcast. “Yes, we have been looking for her all these years.”
Mr. Old Smith’s five sons had prepared a gift for Wendy on her birthday.
The cars, houses, clothes, bags, jewelry, islands, and so on… Even her fiancé, Mr. Old Smith, had prepared them for her.
They had hoped to find Wendy every day, but in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed.
Thinking of this, Mr. Old Smith raised his eyes and said, “Yesterday, we found out that Wendy appeared at the orphanage in Somo City after getting lost in Noto City.”
Now, Evan understood what Mr. Old Smith meant.
“Grandpa, do you want me to help you find Wendy?”
Mr. Old Smith nodded. “Yes, Wendy’s five uncles have all gone to Somo City. However, they’re not familiar with that place, but you’re different.”
“Okay, Grandpa, I will try my best to find her.”
Mr. Old Smith was full of expectations. The next second, he heard Evan say, “But after I find her, I want to cancel the engagement with her.”
“Cancel the engagement?” Mr. Old Smith’s face changed drastically.
It was undeniable that Mr. Old Smith valued Evan the most. He was handsome, excellent…
“No.”
Mr. Old Smith was very persistent. He thought his granddaughter had to own the best, including her husband. Evan made Mr. Old Smith very satisfied.
“Evan, have you forgotten our promise?”
When Evan had agreed to the engagement, he had promised that he would treat Wendy very well.
“I…”
Evan’s eyes were deep. He was a decisive man, but the person in front of him was Mr. Old Smith, who had helped him for many years.
“Do you like someone else?”
“No.”
Evan denied it.
He was worried that Mr. Old Smith would harm Suzy.
The old man asked again, “Then why?”
Evan remained silent.
The living room sank into silence. Although Mr. Old Smith was stubborn, he was still thinking about Wendy. He tutted and said, “How about this? I won’t force you. Find Wendy. You can cancel the engagement if she doesn’t like you.”
“Is Mr. Old Smith forcing him?”
Evan sighed. He knew that Mr. Old Smith had made a concession, so he didn’t say anything more in the end.
Now, the only thing he could do was look for Wendy first.
