Chapter 477: Chapter 419 The Lonely Ceremony
"Murray, you’re finally here ... I’m so scared."
Ryleigh was really scared. She grabbed Murray’s sleeve tightly and cried impotently as if she wanted to drain all her strength.
Murray’s eyes were dull with concerns. After a mont of pause, he gently patted her back and comforted her, "Don’t worry. It’s fine now... It’s OK..."
Claire stood to the side, frozen, even forgetting to turn off her phone. When she looked at how Murray comforted Ryleigh, her eyes were prickling with jealousy and resentnt, and she had no idea why her cousin could fall for such an unpresentable woman.
Ryleigh cried for a long ti before she regained her composure. She raised her head and stared at Claire with red eyes, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Murray! It’s her! She asked soone to kidnap
... She said that I wouldn’t marry you if I was raped."
As she spoke, Ryleigh began to sob again.
Face pallid, she glared at Ryleigh. However, with Murray here, Claire couldn’t act rashly.
Murray’s expression turned serious and distant. He knew what Claire was planning, but he did not expect Claire was so bold that she almost ruined his plan with lissa!
Damn it!
He turned around to glare at Claire, who almost lost her phone and began to stutter. in a panic
"Murray ... Murray, listen to . It’s not like this..."
"What else do you want to say?" Murray bellowed in a deep voice. He stared steely at Claire with an obvious glint of anger in his eyes.
"Did I tell you to stay away from Lily? We are going to engage. Are you still seeing
as your cousin by doing this?"
Murray looked as shooting daggers at Claire, and his eyes were scary as if he wanted to eat Claire.
Claire reeled back and looked at Murray in horror. She knew how scary Murray was when he really got mad.
Murray glared at Claire and said, "Since Lily is fine, I’ll let you go this ti. You’re really ungrateful and frivolous. Go ho! Now!"
After that, Murray’s eyes flickered away from Claire to Ryleigh. He put his suit on Ryleigh, picked her up, and strode out of the warehouse.
Ryleigh had been staring at Murray’s face the whole ti. The corners of her mouth curled up into a triumphant smile. The angry expression of the man satisfied her.
[It seems that he still cares about .] Ryleigh thought.
Murray carried Ryleigh to the car, placed her on the seat next to him, and ordered the driver, "Send Ms. Sofia to Janning Hotel, where there’s going to be an engagent party."
Ryleigh felt it wasn’t right, but she did not doubt Murray. She just asked in confusion, "Only sending ? Murray, aren’t you going with ?"
As she spoke, she instinctively tightened her grip on Murray’s sleeve.
Murray patted her hand and softly comforted her, "Don’t be afraid. It’s alright. I’m just sending you to get changed in the hotel in case there’s any further trouble. I’ll go to the company to take care of sothing important. I’ll be there soon. You can wait for
at the hotel."
"My woman must be the most beautiful bride in the world. You were almost hurt by Claire. Of course, you have to go to the hotel and get yourself ready. Be strong."
Ryleigh lowered her head to smile and nodded without objections.
After Ryleigh got out of the car at the hotel, the smile evaporated on Murray’s face when Ryleigh turned around. He turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Go back."
Ryleigh washed her face in the hotel. A specialized stylist ca over to redo her makeup. She reviewed herself in the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she was excited.
She would be Murray’s fiancée after today and from tomorrow, no one would bully her!
At the sa ti, a lot of guests gathered in the banquet hall. Most of these people were famous in the business world of Aldness, and so of them were Murray’s business partners. Either out of friendship or out of economic sense, they had to bring out the best of themselves from the inside out.
There were also a lot of people outside, including the reporters and the dia.
"Ms. Sofia, the engagent party is ready. Mr. Gibson inford us he might co late, but he wants you to be out there first."
Ryleigh was sitting in the room. Ryleigh felt uneasy when she heard the stylist’s words, but she still agreed. She lifted her dress and walked out slowly.
The banquet hall was resplendent. Waiters held a champagne tray in one hand shuttling back and forth in the crowd. Ryleigh was surprised to see more people co than she expected.
But soon, she bead and greeted the guests with ease.
A few reporters, who had been waiting, naturally could not let go of this opportunity. Seeing the ‘princess’ co out, they imdiately huddled up to her and fired up questions.
"Ms. Sofia, today is your engagent party with Mr. Gibson. How are you feeling?"
"Ms. Sofia, why isn’t Mr. Gibson here with you on such a big day? Have you talked this through?"
"Ms. Sofia..."
Questions flooded Ryleigh one after another. Ryleigh slightly frowned upon the questions, but she still maintained a polite smile on her face and leaned close to the microphone.
"Here’s the thing. Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in Murray’s company. He just told
that he can’t make it on ti. But with so many guests here today, as one of the hosts, it’s inappropriate to let you wait for him, right? This would be impolite, wouldn’t it?"
Although Ryleigh’s answer wasn’t perfect, it would be hard to find any flaws in it. And she successfully maintained Murray’s reputation.
"Moreover, I’m also glad today that everyone can attend our engagent party. It’s my honor and luck to have you here. I can finally be with the person I love, and I hope every one of you can find your happiness."
The seemingly perfect words concluded today’s interview. The reporters were dismissed one after another, and the assistant whispered, "Ms. Sofia, the party is beginning. It’s ti for us to get on stage. Tonight is about you."
"Alright, I understand."
Ryleigh’s voice was a little anxious. She looked outside but did not find Murray.
