When she got downstairs, she saw his father sitting on the sofa, waiting for her. Kristen went downstairs and greeted, 'Uncle Collins.' Mr. Collins frowned and looked at her with impatience. 'You are so scheming that even this villa is owned by you.' Kristen was taken aback. When did she get to own this villa? 'Uncle Collins, are you mistaken?' 'There's no need to argue with me. I can give you this villa as long as you leave Ethan. Otherwise, you won't get anything.' Kristen looked at him calmly and said, 'Uncle Collins, you believe that I am a vain woman. Why don't you persuade Ethan, but try to persuade me again and again?' Mr. Collins' father was so angry that he didn't say anything. He knew his son well. If he could persuade his son, he wouldn't have wasted his time here. 'Uncle Collins, I don't know what good it will do for you to marry into the Winter Family, but I can tell you clearly that Ethan is not a fool and he is not someone you can bully as you wis
Xenos took her hand and said in a considerate tone, 'I know you don't want to face it. Don't worry, we're getting engaged so that Uncle Collins will feel at ease. We won't get married. You can still stay with Ethan.' 'It's such a pity that you didn't enter the entertainment industry.' Kristen praised her sincerely, but when she saw her puzzled expression, she exposed her bluntly. 'You were acting from the beginning. You deliberately approached me so that I would feel that you have someone in your heart.' 'Let me relax my guard while creating a chance to be alone with Ethan and making me jealous. Uncle Collins pretending to be sick must have something to do with you, right? Now you're pretending to be a helpless and considerate saint. Your acting is not bad, but it's a pity that I'm a professional actress.' She had long been wondering why Xenos approached Ethan while saying that she didn't want to be forced to get engaged. She had no idea when the villa had fallen under h
The instruments in the ward made people panic. Kristen gripped Ethan's hand tightly, unwilling to part with him. She had called her aunt and asked her for a long time before she agreed to have the surgery first, on the premise that she had to go home. According to Xenos Wood, the sooner he had done the surgery, the better it will be. Ethan couldn't wait any longer. 'Ethan, forgive me for leaving without saying a word. I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible, and then I'll return to your side openly. At that time, I'll tell you everything.' Kristen left a kiss on Ethan's forehead and turned to leave. At the airport, Kristen dialed Anna's number. 'Anna, I have to rest for a while. I don't want anyone to disturb me during this time.' On the other side of the phone, Anna sat up in shock. 'What? Sis Kristen, where are you going?' 'Go home.' The plane took off. Kristen turned off her phone and cut off all communication. A few hours later, the plane landed. T
'Anna, it's me.' 'Sis Kristen.' On the other side of the phone, Anna exclaimed. She glanced at the number and quickly asked, 'Sis, where are you? Mr. Wharton has been looking for you.' 'How is he?' Kristen tightened her grip on her clothes. According to time, her auntie should have already arrived there. 'Mr. Wharton is in poor health. He had been looking for you since you disappeared. He couldn't be persuaded. Yesterday, doctor M said something to persuade him to go back and the operation will be held the day after tomorrow.' Surgery the day after tomorrow ... 'Anna, save this number. Don't tell Ethan about it. Let him finish the surgery securely.' Anna's eyes widened. 'Sis Kristen, what are you talking about? What if Mr. Wharton knows about your news and then he can have a peaceful operation.' If Ethan knew that I tried o get my aunt to operate on him and agree to the engagement with another man, he might jump out of bed in anger. Kristen smiled bitterly
Heloise knew that she was dissatisfied and she did not need her approval. Seeing that she did not speak, she announced unilaterally, 'The date is settled. I will leave after the engagement.' After saying that, she glanced at Kristen. Kristen immediately lowered her head like an obedient cat. After dinner, Kristen returned to her room and threw herself on the bed with a heavy sigh. It would be fine if her aunt didn't come back, but she had set her eyes on her as soon as she came back. It just so happened that Ethan was still in her hands, so she didn't dare to be willful. 'Little sister, why are you sighing?' Aldrich walked in with a smile and only got a supercilious look from Kristen. 'What are you doing here?' 'Don't say that. Big bro is just worried about you.' Aldrich walked over and sat down on a chair. He asked her with a smile, 'You don't want to get engaged to Elvis Sterling? I think he's a good man.' Kristen remained silent. Aldrich insensibly a
Mrs. Sterling glanced at Elvis and smiled at Kristen. 'I don't mean anything else. After all, we're going to be a family in the future. There are some things that I have to make clear.' Kristen asked directly, 'Mrs. Sterling, what do you want to know?' 'Kristen, you're so straightforward. I said directly. Entertainment news says that you have an intimate relationship with Mr. Wharton of the TNK Group. Is this true?' Mr. Sterling took a sip of tea and had no intention of stopping her. Kristen ignored her aunt's threatening gaze and admitted, 'I am indeed in a relationship with Ethan, and we haven't broken up yet.' Mrs. Sterling's face darkened. 'You want to engage my son before you broke up with Ethan?' Mr. Sterling looked at Mr. Old Oliver and asked with a smile, 'Mr. Old Oliver, isn't this appropriate?' 'Mr. and Mrs. Sterling. Kristen is joking. She has already broken off all ties with Ethan.' Heloise opened her mouth and turned to look at Kristen. 'Don't you t
Her calm eldest brother tried to comfort her. 'Kristen, don't let grandpa and us worry about you. Let's have dinner first and then talk about other things.' Kristen asked with a dull face, 'If he knows that I'm engaged, do you think he will do the same as me?' Aldrich went up and pulled her over, exasperated at her failure to live up to his expectations. 'That's enough. Is that bastard worth you acting like this? Forget him.' 'I can't forget him. What should I do?.' Kristen grabbed Aldrich and burst into tears. 'It's fine as long as you cry. I'll go and see if there's any porridge.' Zeev sighed and walked out. Being stared at by her five brothers, she reluctantly ate a bowl of porridge and spat it all out. Just as they couldn't find a way to help her, Heloise walked in and silently gave Kristen a nutrition needle. 'Even if you only have half-life left, you will be carried to the engagement site.' With these words, Heloise walked out again. Her brothers
'Really?' Kristen was surprised and hugged Heloise happily. 'Aunt, you are the best to me. Thank you.' 'Okay, go ahead.' Heloise tilted her head to hide her soft side. Kristen pecked her cheek and left with her suitcase. 'Grandfather, forgive my willfulness.' Kristen hugged Mr. Old Oliver tightly. Although she had made up her mind to leave, she knew that she had let her family down. 'No matter what, it's fine as long as you're happy. Go, come visit me more often in the future.' Mr. Old Oliver's eyes were full of reluctance, but after seeing his granddaughter's despondent look in the past few days, he had figured it out. Nothing was more important than the happiness of his granddaughter. 'Let's go. I happen to want to go back as well.' Gavin took the suitcase and left with Kristen. In the car, Kristen couldn't help crying when she saw her grandfather, brothers, and aunt watching her from the third floor. Gavin did not try to persuade her. He waited
