Chapter 186: Meeting the Wilson family again
When Cherry left, Maria Miller immediately approached Chloe Miller, took her hand, and asked, "Sis, why do you seem unhappy? Are you still thinking of rejecting this marriage proposal?"
"Do I have any other choices?" Chloe Miller said with a gloomy face, shaking her head.
"Since you can't refuse, why not try to accept it? Why make yourself so miserable? Besides, I think Kenny is actually not bad. He even helped me out a couple days ago!" Maria Miller persuasively said.
Although she and Chloe Miller weren't siblings by blood, they were as close as sisters, their relationship better than Maria Miller's relationship with her own younger brother.
"You keep calling him Kenny. I remember you've only met a few times. Since when did you become so affectionate?" Chloe Miller furrowed her brows, clearly having difficulty accepting Maria Miller's advice to accept Kenny.
"No, no, don't get me wrong. After today, I'll have to call him brother-in-law! But there's something I have to tell you. A few days ago, I went to Wangfu Street to buy an engagement gift for you, and I ran into someone trying to scam me. Thanks to Sarah and Kenny arriving in time to help me, I didn't suffer a loss!" Maria Miller then explained the incident on Wangfu Street, believing that Chloe Miller's earlier questioning made her misunderstand Maria Miller's relationship with Kenny.
"What did you say? Sarah is in Houston?" Chloe Miller froze upon hearing this, her eyes wide open as she grabbed Maria Miller's arm.
"Sis... you're hurting me!" Maria Miller didn't expect Chloe Miller's reaction to be so intense. Feeling the pain in her shoulder, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and remind her.
Chloe Miller released Maria Miller and apologized, "Sorry, did I hurt you?"
"It's fine... but why are you reacting so strongly to Sarah returning to Houston? It's normal for her to come back. She should also come to your engagement party today!"
Maria Miller rubbed her shoulder, still in pain from Chloe Miller's pinch, and said in astonishment.
"Sarah came to Houston, so what about him?"
Chloe Miller's expression immediately changed. If Sarah came to Houston, Ethan Wilson was likely to come too.
What is he doing in Houston?
Is he also coming to his own engagement party?
"Sis, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Chloe Miller's absent-mindedness, Maria Miller quickly waved her hand in front of her.
"Have the Harris family arrived?"
Chloe Miller regained her senses and hurriedly asked.
"Not yet, but I guess they're on their way. After all, the engagement party starts at 11 am."
Maria Miller looked confused, but she answered truthfully.
"Then let me ask you, when you saw Sarah, was there someone with him?"
Chloe Miller took a deep breath and continued to inquire.
"Yeah, that guy is Sarah's boyfriend. Sarah wanted me to call him brother-in-law. But his name sounded familiar, I just can't remember where I heard it!"
Maria Miller pondered hard, and even forgot Ethan Wilson's name for a moment.
"Is his name Ethan Wilson?"
Chloe Miller reminded her.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Ethan Wilson... Sis, do you also know him?"
Maria Miller nodded hurriedly, followed by a curious question.
"It really is him! He actually came! What do we do? Will he come today? Please, don't come, please!"
Chloe Miller got the answer she wanted and her pretty face turned pale. She muttered anxiously.
"Sis... what's wrong with you? It's just... Ethan Wilson... Ethan Wilson... I remember now..."
At that moment, Maria Miller was also stunned on the spot!
The man Chloe Miller fell in love with in Novaria was named Ethan Wilson, wasn't he?
At the entrance of the Miller family's estate, Merrick led a group of the Miller family descendants in welcoming the arriving guests.
The first group to arrive consisted mainly of affiliated families of the Miller family, as well as representatives from some families and companies with cooperative relationships. The top families, such as the Wilson family, the Harris family, and the Ashford family, were sure to make a grand entrance at the last moment.
In other words, the purpose of the early arrivals was to impress and network with the later arrivals. They arrived first, clearly showing a desire to please and connect.
Around 11 o'clock, the convoy of the Wilson family and the Harris family arrived almost simultaneously at the entrance of the Miller family.
Clarence never expected such a coincidence. Before even entering, he ran into the Wilson family at the entrance!
His gaze couldn't help but fall on Ethan Wilson, but he saw no expression on Ethan Wilson's face, as if he completely ignored the group of people from the Wilson family.
The parking area was in a large empty space behind the old mansion of the Miller family. All vehicles stopped at the entrance and the convoys departed.
When people from the Wilson family and the Harris family got off their cars, there would inevitably be a confrontation.
On the Wilson family side, as Ethan Wilson learned from the information he received last night, Logan Wilson and Rebecca Wilson led the group, all of them third-generation descendants of the Wilson family. Not even a single member from the second generation appeared.
Perhaps among the Four Great Families, only the Wilson family had the confidence to deceive the other families with their younger generation in such a situation.
Because the Wilson family had a strong punch and indeed had the capital to suppress the other three families.
However, when Logan Wilson and Rebecca Wilson saw Ethan Wilson among the crowd from the Harris family, they both showed surprise on their faces, clearly not expecting to encounter him here!
But after a moment of surprise, the two brothers quickly reacted and approached Ethan Wilson with their entourage.
"Isn't this my genius cousin? I didn't expect you to find a new master so soon after being expelled from the Wilson family. It must not be easy being a dog in the Harris family," Logan Wilson glanced at the people from the Harris family and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Miller family who were still unaware of the situation looked at each other, while Merrick's gaze immediately fell on Ethan Wilson. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He had a feeling that there would be something interesting happening at the engagement banquet.
Aside from Sarah and Clarence, who had gloomy expressions, the rest of the Harris family showed no emotions on their faces. However, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ethan Wilson, wanting to see how he would respond to Logan Wilson's provocation.
"I don't have the same hobbies as you. It's your choice to enjoy being a dog in the Wilson family. Despite having the title of a legitimate grandson, your position as the heir was taken away by the elders. Do you still want to show off your pitiful sense of superiority in front of me?" Ethan Wilson replied with a light laughter, seemingly indifferent.
Having his position as the heir taken away was obviously Logan Wilson's biggest scar. He never expected to be publicly humiliated by Ethan Wilson, reopening the old wound and rubbing salt in it!
"Ethan Wilson... Are you looking for death?" Logan Wilson's face instantly darkened. He clenched his fist with gritted teeth, apparently preparing to attack.
"Stay calm. Don't forget why we are here today," Rebecca Wilson raised her hand to stop Logan Wilson from losing control and reminded him with a furrowed brow.
Clearly, Rebecca Wilson was much more mature and formidable than Logan Wilson in terms of temperament. She was habitually calm on the surface, but constantly scheming in her heart.
Ethan Wilson's gaze had never met Logan Wilson's, but instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Rebecca Wilson.
"Speaking of which, Ethan Wilson, we are all surnamed Tang, even though you are no longer part of the Wilson family. The blood of the Wilson family still runs through your veins. It's best for us brothers not to embarrass each other unnecessarily. It's not beneficial for anyone!" Rebecca Wilson reminded Ethan Wilson calmly.
