Chapter 187: He Really Came
Upon hearing this, Ethan Wilson couldn't help but laugh out of anger, "Are you blaming me for disregarding brotherhood? Do you not find it ridiculous for you to say these words? Since I was expelled from the Wilson family, who among you still considers me a brother? Who was the one causing trouble just now? Why is it that only the authorities can start a fire but the common people cannot light a lamp?"
"I don't want to argue with you. This is the Miller family, and we should show some respect to the host. I also hope that you won't do anything to embarrass the host. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our past brotherly relationship. I will genuinely help the Wilson family clean up their mess!" Rebecca Wilson responded with a cold snort and then signaled Logan Wilson to lead the way towards the Miller family's gate.
"You wait and see, how long can you be arrogant?" Logan Wilson glared viciously at Ethan Wilson and followed Rebecca Wilson into the Miller family along with his men.
"What kind of people are the Wilson family? They all know how to kick someone when they're down. It's infuriating!" Sarah watched the Wilson family members' backs and coldly snorted in dissatisfaction.
"There's no need to be angry. It's not worth it!" Ethan Wilson held Sarah's hand and shook his head slowly.
"Alright, let's go in too. Ethan Wilson, you handle your relationship with certain people. The Harris family won't intervene from now on! I'm looking forward to the surprises you'll give me!" Carlos reminded Ethan Wilson and led everyone towards the Miller family's gate.
Upon hearing that the Wilson family and the Harris family had arrived, Munro also came out to meet them. He received Logan Wilson and his group in the courtyard.
After a few polite greetings, the members of the Wilson family were led into the living room by the servants, followed by Carlos and the members of the Harris family.
Ethan Wilson and Sarah purposely stayed at the back of the line and successfully avoided Munro's gaze.
Meanwhile, Merrick also entered the room and discreetly approached Ethan Wilson. He slipped a piece of paper into Ethan Wilson's hand without making a sound.
Ethan Wilson raised an eyebrow in confusion, but Merrick shook his head slightly and then left the room.
"Isn't that Mr. Miller? He is Xiaoxi's father and Chloe's uncle. What did he give you just now?" Sarah, who had been by Ethan Wilson's side the whole time, observed the situation and asked in surprise.
Ethan Wilson glanced at the note in his hand and discovered that it was a phone number. He couldn't help but ponder.
"Mr. Miller left you his phone number? What does he want?" Sarah, also puzzled, asked Ethan Wilson in a low voice.
"I have no idea. I'll figure it out after all this is over!" Ethan Wilson didn't speculate too much. He planned to call later when he had time to ask about Mr. Miller's intentions.
Meanwhile, Chloe Miller and Maria Miller were still discussing Ethan Wilson's situation in the room. Seeing her sister's anxious expression, Maria Miller also became worried.
But despite their long deliberation, they couldn't come up with any solutions. If Ethan Wilson really wanted to come for the engagement banquet, they couldn't stop him. At this moment, Chloe Miller's heart was torn between conflicting thoughts. On one hand, she didn't want Ethan Wilson to appear for her sake, but on the other hand, she missed this man whom she had been longing for day and night.
"Why are you two still in the room? The Wilson family and the Harris family have already arrived. Go out and say hello. Chloe, you are the center of attention today, so don't forget your manners!" Right at that moment, Cherry rushed into the room, startling the two sisters, who quickly ended their conversation.
"They have already arrived?" Chloe Miller's heart immediately raced with nerves. Ignoring Cherry's surprised gaze, she hurriedly left the room.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with your sister?"
Cherry couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Oh... Maybe my sister has come to her senses and went out to greet the guests when she heard they arrived!" Maria Miller nervously made up an excuse.
"Oh? I thought this girl would still be mad at me. I didn't expect her to have a change of heart! It's good that she understands, so I don't have to waste my words! Let's go out quickly!" Cherry didn't doubt him, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, inviting Maria Miller to hurry along with her.
In the main hall of the grand old mansion, there were twenty-one large round tables. From inside out, the first table was naturally the main table for the protagonist and their elders.
The remaining twenty tables were divided into four rows and five columns, with each of the four main families occupying the first two rows of each row. Except for the Ashford family members who had not yet arrived, the people from the other three families had already taken their seats.
As for the remaining seats, they were representatives of some vassal families or other prestigious enterprises.
These people naturally didn't immediately sit in their designated seats. Instead, they came forward and talked with several prominent families, making the scene quite lively.
The Harris family chose their seats on the right side, occupying the first two tables, with ten people at each table sitting comfortably.
Ethan Wilson and Sarah sat in the middle of the corner, quietly observing the situation around them. They could also perceive the occasional glances from the Wilson family's side.
Especially Logan Wilson, his gaze towards Ethan Wilson was sinister and merciless. After all, when Tang Brady deprived him of his inheritance rights, he said that the one who would replace him would be Ethan Wilson.
Naturally, his hatred towards Ethan Wilson was incredibly strong. Even though Ethan Wilson was not considered a member of the Wilson family now, it still couldn't dispel the enmity in his heart!
At this moment, Chloe Miller suddenly appeared in the hall, attracting the attention of everyone present. Immediately, people approached to congratulate her, and Logan Wilson and Rebecca Wilson's eyes revealed a hint of admiration as they quickly went forward to greet her.
Chloe Miller politely responded to everyone, but her eyes kept searching the hall for the person she most wanted to see.
Compared to Chloe Miller, Ethan Wilson and Sarah had already seen her when everyone was approaching Chloe Miller!
As Ethan Wilson looked at his once vibrant companion, Chloe Miller, who now appeared thin and haggard, his heart couldn't help but ache. He sat frozen in his chair, his gaze fixed on her familiar face.
Sensing Ethan Wilson's gaze, Chloe Miller immediately met his eyes. For a moment, their eyes locked, and Chloe Miller seemed to be rooted to the spot.
Sure enough, he had arrived.
He had really come.
At that moment, Chloe Miller had the strong urge to throw herself into Ethan Wilson's arms, to pour out all her grievances, unwillingness, and longing for him.
"Chloe, what are you zoning out for?"
Just then, Cherry appeared by Chloe Miller's side, frowning with disapproval as she saw Chloe Miller ignoring everyone around her.
"Oh...I was just lost in thought!"
Chloe Miller snapped back to reality, suppressing her inner impulse, careful not to let Cherry catch on.
The current situation did not allow her to be willful; she could only plead with Ethan Wilson not to act impulsively, not to do anything rash.
"I apologize, everyone. It seems like I was too overjoyed today and lost my composure!"
Cherry, at this point, turned her attention to the guests around them, engaging in small talk.
Chloe Miller's gaze was forced to divert from Ethan Wilson, but it still couldn't escape the watchful eyes of Logan Wilson and Rebecca Wilson.
Logan and Rebecca had known about Chloe Miller and Ethan Wilson's relationship for quite some time now, so naturally, they were particularly attentive to their reactions.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers exchanged a knowing glance, a cold smirk playing on their lips.
"The Ashford family has arrived!"
Just then, a servant rushed in, hurriedly reporting to Munro.
