Chapter 119 A Family Should Act Together
Edward, with a bad temper, directly yelled at Aaron, "What are you looking at?"
Aaron didn't say anything and walked away from the villa hall, his gait was unsteady and disheveled.
Austin watched Aaron's back and always felt something was wrong with his reaction! Did they overlook something?
At this moment, Arthur looked at Edward and spoke, "Edward, Erica lied again."
Austin fell silent for a moment. "I never expected Erica to dare to say such things to Aaron! This isn't the first time she's been so audacious in lying!"
From Aaron's response just now, it could be inferred that Erica has been lying to the Abbott family.
He even doubted if Aaron really liked Erica.
Edward rubbed his temples. "I know, I will resolve Erica's identity issue before Susanna's back to the Jones family. I won't let Susanna suffer any injustice."
Arthur spoke up, "Susanna is the designer for this engagement banquet. She should be coming soon, and we need to discuss how to explain things to Susanna."
Austin's mouth twitched. "This is a difficult situation. Edward, you can explain it since you are reliable!"
Edward frowned. "I actually think Susanna gets along well with you usually. Why don't you explain?"
Despite their usual experiences, they were hesitant at this moment.
They glanced at each other, both wanting to avoid the situation. How should they explain it appropriately?
In the upstairs dressing room right now.
Erica had changed into a white wedding dress, looking at herself in the mirror with a proud expression. Her dream day had finally arrived after waiting for so many years.
After getting engaged to Aaron, Susanna no longer had a place in the Abbott family.
She was the exact rightful wife of the Abbott family!
Elaine said in envious, "Erica, you look so beautiful today."
Erica consoled, "Thank you, after all, every girl looks the most beautiful in a wedding dress. You will have your day in the future too."
Elaine rolled her eyes and said excitedly, "Erica, does your brother, Arthur, have a girlfriend?"
She had just checked some information and thought Arthur, as a rising star in the tech company, had great prospects. So she chose Arthur over Austin, who wanted to become a doctor.
Erica raised an eyebrow. "As far as I know, he doesn't. Arthur is a workaholic and very busy usually."
"Erica, we are almost becoming family. Don't you want our relationship to be closer? Introduce me to Arthur."
Erica could see that Elaine, this foolish girl, had her eyes on Arthur. How shameless of her! Did she even deserve Arthur?
Although Erica looked down on Elaine in her heart, she didn't show it at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'll introduce you after the engagement.
"Erica, thank you. No, I should call you sister-in-law now, right?"
Erica smiled somewhat smugly. "Elaine, do you know the follow-up to Susanna's compensation issue?"
"Don't mention it. Because of this, my mom has been keeping me at home and not letting me out. Today, I finally begged my mom to let me come to the engagement. She thinks I'm cursed and wants to pray for me at church. She couldn't come today."
"It's okay, your mom is doing it for your own good. Susanna will also come to today's engagement banquet."
"What? Aren't you afraid that that bitch Susanna will do something at the wedding?"
Erica smiled coldly. "She wouldn't dare because she designed today's engagement scene. If anything goes wrong, her career is over, and so is her studio."
"I see. Erica, why don't you have her come up and help you with the wedding dress train, let that bitch see clearly what a difference means."
Elaine now wished she could kill Susanna.
Because of Susanna, she was in a very embarrassing situation now. Although the Abbott family clarified that the video and photos were fabricated, many people knew it was her.
All of this was owing to Susanna!
Erica smiled. "Let's go downstairs now. You handle it yourself later, don't let it affect the engagement."
"Erica, don't worry, I will definitely embarrass Susanna. Just wait and see the show."
Erica's smile deepened.
After Erica went downstairs, she found that the hall was empty.
Strange, where were her brothers and Aaron?
Maud smiled and said, "Erica, your brothers and Aaron must have gone out to talk. Let's not bother them and go straight to the engagement scene in the back."
Erica forced a smile, thinking it might be right.
But she felt her eyelids twitching a lot, but not knowing the reason.
After arriving at the engagement scene, Erica didn't find her brothers or Aaron, and she started to panic.
Maud also felt something was off. "Erica, I'll call my son to see where they went."
After Maud left, Erica turned to Dick, "Has Ms. Miller arrived?"
Dick nervously approached. "I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, she hasn't arrived yet, but she should be on her way."
"On her way? Is this the attitude of your studio? Susanna, as the charger of this design, isn't present. How can I trust that your studio can do a good job?"
Dick apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, I'll call her right away."
Dick immediately called Susanna, looking uneasy. In the end, he helplessly replied, "Ms. Jones, Susanna's phone is off."
Elaine chuckled, "Off? Could it be that Susanna doesn't want to come, so she deliberately turned off her phone to avoid being found? She's such a deep-thinking woman."
Erica's mood turned sour, and she didn't see her brothers around either.
She quickly took out her phone and called Edward. "Edward, the engagement is about to start, where are you guys?"
"Okay, we're coming right over."
Edward hung up and looked at Austin and Arthur. "Let's go, we can't avoid this.
Austin uttered, "Edward, why don't you go instead? I need to rest a bit more. I'm scared!"
Austin wondered, 'What if Susanna gets angry later and ignores me?'
Edward encouraged them as saying, "Don't be like this, we face everything together! We are a family, we should act together!"
Edward led Austin and Arthur to the engagement scene, their expressions resigned as if going into battle.
However, when they arrived, they didn't find Susanna anywhere!
Edward searched around but couldn't find Susanna. Could it be that she didn't come today?
Erica smiled and said, "Edward, who are you looking for?"
Austin quickly changed the subject. "The engagement is about to start, where's the groom?"
