h4Chapter 55: A good show starts!/h4

E stared nkly at the painting shimmering with gold. The image of her in a princess dress, with her long hair flowing and delicate features, looked like a princess from a fairytale, gathering all the light of the world onto herself.

Brandon was indeed clever. In her past life, his proposal hadn’t involved such an impressive gesture.

If she were still the same E from before, she would have been moved to tears and agreed immediately.

"Say yes, E. I’ve liked you for so long!" Brandon gazed at her with deep affection, not saying much more.

Robert’s face turned dark. He had hoped E would end up with Eric, but Brandon’s sudden move seemed to sway her.

"Say yes!"

"Marry him!"

The crowd, including Lily and others, shouted loudly. E snapped out of her daze, shyly smiled, and nodded.

"Alright, I’ll be your girlfriend."

Her words made Eric’s face turn as ck as thunder.

He was fuming. His girl, agreeing to be Brandon’s girlfriend? Was this part of her n?

Eric’s mind went back to E’s words from that day, "No matter what happens, stay calm and don’t get angry, okay?"

He watched E, who smiled and shot him a quick nce.

Brandon was stunned, barely able to believe his ears. E... agreed to be his girlfriend?

"Great!" Brandon eximed joyfully, rushing to hug E tightly.

E felt ufortable being hugged so closely and quickly pushed him away, "Everyone is watching. Don’t do that!"

Brandon released her, gazing happily into her eyes, "E, I promise to treat you well."

"Okay," E murmured, keeping her head down. She could feel Eric’s gaze piercing through her, almost like it was burning her.

She had to stay strong and not give up.

Hannah and Brianna approached, their faces adorned with polite smiles. They hadn’t expected E to ept, but Brandon’s unique approach would move any girl.

"Congrattions, sister. I didn’t expect you to get a boyfriend so quickly!" Hannah said with a feigned smile.

"Of course, Brandon is so outstanding. But I heard you once pursued him, didn’t you? I’m sorry, but Brandon is my boyfriend now. I hope you’re not too heartbroken," E said softly, blinking innocently.

The people around them chuckled quietly, realizing that Brandon chose E over Hannah.

Hannah hadn’t expected E to bring that up. She forced a smile, "No, as long as you’re happy, I’m happy."

"Yes, as long as you’re happy, we’ll all be happy! Brandon, you must treat our E well," Brianna added gracefully.

"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Hannah. I will treat her well," Brandon said with a dazzling smile that made Hannah’s eyes burn with jealousy.

E shyly lowered her head, avoiding the piercing gazes around her.

Eric sat quietly on one side, sipping his wine, but his eyes grew colder.

Hannah, sensing an opportunity, sat down beside him with a smile, "Mr. Nelson, are you upset? I thought my sister would choose you over Brandon. She really is blind."

Eric looked at her coldly, a trace of a sneer on his lips.

E had promised a good show. This, he guessed, was only the first act.

Although E’s actions made him extremely angry, Eric believed that his woman would never choose Brandon!

"You were just blessing her a moment ago, and now you’re mocking your sister for being blind. Your thoughts run pretty deep," Eric said coldly, taking a sip of red wine and sneering.

Hannah gave an awkward smile, secretly regretting her words. She should never speak ill of E in front of Eric!

Robert, although furious, managed to contain his anger since they were in public.

The party began. After a few bites of food and some fruit juice that had been set at her ce, Hannah started to feel a bit dizzy.

"Daddy, Mommy, I’m feeling a bit dizzy..."

"Really? How could that be?" Brianna asked worriedly. "Why don’t you go upstairs and rest a bit?"

Hannah nodded, apologized to everyone, and went upstairs to rest.

Hannah was indeed dizzy, but her heart was filled with raging anger. Since Brandon’s sessful proposal, he hadn’t left E’s side, his eyes full of the same tender affection he used to show Hannah during their love affair!

Hannah remembered how long it had been since Brandon looked at her that way, and with Eric ignoring her, her umted anger grew even more intense.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She hadn’t even finished her meal before her head was spinning.

Lying in bed, her hands trembled with rage, and feeling thirsty, she quickly took out her phone and texted Brandon.

"Find an excuse and call me right now!"

But as Hannahy in bed waiting, Brandon’s call never came. Her chest ached with anger, feeling like she would explode from the fury building inside her!

"Damn it! How dare he not listen to me! Brandon!"

Hannah’s princess temper red up again. When she was with Brandon, he always put her first, treating her like the only princess in his kingdom.

She had always gotten whatever she wanted with Brandon by her side!

Hannah finally sat up. Just then, her phone vibrated. "I’m in the room opposite yours. Come over."

Hannah quietly slipped out of her room, hearing theughter from downstairs. The hallway was empty.

It was a time when most guests were chatting after dinner, so few people were likely toe upstairs.

Hannah opened the door to the opposite room and shut it behind her, seeing Brandon sitting on the bed, his face flushed.

"Have you been drinking?"

Hannah walked over, noticing the desire in Brandon’s eyes.

Brandon shook his head. "I only had one drink, and now I’m like this... You know I can’t handle alcohol, but they insisted I drink because I seeded in proposing..."

So E had helped him to the room to rest, her extreme gentleness nearly making Brandon kiss her.

"Hmph, sessful proposal? You didn’t expect that bitch to ept, did you? But now that you’ve seeded, we need to stick to the n!" Hannah said with a sly smile, recalling Brandon’s tender look and then frowning.

"But you’re really convincing. The way you look at E is so full of affection, even I’d think you’re genuinely in love with her! Brandon! You’re not allowed to fall for her, got it?"

Hannah assertively sat on hisp.

"Hannah... we need to break up," Brandon suddenly said in a soft voice.
