Chapter 201: Chapter 201 The Wedding Date is Set

As soon as Hope Williams settled into the car, she received a call from Alexander Knox.

Waylon Lewis, sitting beside her, noticed and instantly, the air around him turned visibly colder.

Hope held the phone to her ear, “Mr. Knox.”

“Don’t forget tonight.”

“Tonight?”

Hope quickly reviewed her memory before recalling that she had previously accepted Alexander Knox’s invitation to attend the annual banquet of the Knox Clan.

“You forgot?”

“No, I will be there on time tonight.”

“Good, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Hope Williams, “…”

Hope put down her phone but didn’t ignore the chilling coldness from the person next to her.

Waylon Lewis, “What’s the matter?”

“I had previously promised to attend the Knox Clan’s annual banquet, which I told you about.”

“Is it possible not to go?”

Hope pursed her lips, “I’ve promised already, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to go; after all, we have to maintain appearances.”

“I have plans tonight.”

Hope looked at him, “Then I’ll go by myself, you take care of your own matters first.”

Waylon Lewis sighed softly, “Can you manage alone?”

“I can, don’t underestimate me.”

“I’m afraid someone will abduct you.”

Hope blinked lightly, “I am always firm in my stance.”

Waylon chuckled, “I’ll come to pick you up later, don’t wander off.”

“Understood, I need to go back and change clothes.”

Dusk fell, and the hotel entrance was crowded with guests.

As one of the premier wealthy families, the standards of the Knox Clan’s annual banquet were naturally high.

The banquet hall in the hotel was decorated luxuriously, filled with the aromas of red wine and fresh flowers.

On the elevated stage at the front, a large LCD screen showed the development history of the Knox Clan.

Alexander Knox, in a sharp suit, had a gentle smile on his handsome face as he held a wine glass and chatted amiably with the guests.

Hope Williams gracefully held her skirt while stepping off the car and ascending the steps. As she turned slightly, her gaze met that of the Fuller sisters just descending from a Rolls-Royce.

The Fullers’ presence as prospective in-laws to the Knox Family was not a surprise to Hope.

Upon seeing Hope, Vivia Fuller’s and Mia Fuller’s gazes were initially dazzled, but the next second it turned into deep animosity.

“What business do you have here at the Knox Clan’s annual banquet, Hope Williams?” With no one else around, Mia Fuller directly confronted Hope without pretense.

Hope took a step back, distancing herself.

“I am here at the invitation of Grandma Knox, why do you care? What? Miss Fuller, after meddling with the Lewis Family’s matters, you want to interfere with the Knox Family’s as well?” Hope responded coldly.

“You…” Mia Fuller, disregarding her gown, was about to charge forward but was held back by Vivia Fuller.

Vivia Fuller, clenching her teeth and smiling slightly, “Miss Williams, I apologize, Mia is just a bit impulsive.”

Hope lightly raised her eyebrows and continued upward with her dress.

“Sister, that wretch is too arrogant,” Mia said angrily, stomping her foot.

“Keep yourself in check today. Don’t cause trouble in this setting, especially since you are to be the future Knox Family matriarch. The Knox Family is already displeased with you; if you cause more trouble, do you really want to be called off the engagement?”

“If it comes to that, then so be it. Do you think I care for Alexander Knox?” Her heart was filled with Waylon Lewis, her lifelong dream to marry into the Lewis Family and become its matriarch.

Who would willingly marry Alexander Knox?

Though the Knox Family was influential, they were no match for the leading wealthy Lewis Family.

“Just because you’ve been in jail, you should be grateful any prestigious family wants you. Don’t be picky, just get out of the country,” Vivia harshly scolded Mia, trying to give her a wake-up call.

Hope Williams had already annoyed her enough today, and here was this fool causing more trouble.

The Fuller Family had spent a lot of money to cover up Mia’s prison stint previously, using the pretense of studying abroad to preserve her reputation.

But just because others didn’t know didn’t mean the Knox Family was unaware.

They knew all about Mia; their decision not to expose her simply stemmed from not having caught her red-handed and the fear of offending the Fuller Family.

Once Mia was caught, the Knox Family would not hesitate to call off the engagement.

It would be not just Mia’s face that was lost, but the entire Fuller Family’s face.

Vivia hadn’t planned to come tonight, but fearing this fool might cause trouble, she followed anyway, especially since the family patriarch hoped to use this chance to expose Mia’s engagement to Alexander Knox.

If things weren’t settled, she feared the marriage would be called off.

Mia glared at Vivia disapprovingly, but didn’t dare say much.

She had known her sister’s tactics since they were children, so she didn’t dare act rashly.

She had no choice but to suppress her anger and follow behind Vivia.

When Hope Williams appeared at the door, she naturally attracted plenty of attention. Dressed understatedly in a light-colored, fitted dress that just passed the ankle and without any extra adornments, her look was conservative, simple, and elegant.

Her makeup was light and unobtrusive, enhancing her delicate features, which were cool and detached.

The Fuller sisters, Vivia and Mia, appeared right behind her at the doorway.

Mia in a black mermaid dress and Vivia in a fitted white gown, both boasted delicately beautiful features of high quality.

Alexander was mingling with guests, and a distinct noise at the door attracted his attention. He lightly excused himself to the person he was talking to, “Excuse me.”

He then headed towards the door.

While Alexander might not compare to Waylon Lewis, he was definitely among the elite of the nobility, and he confidently moved towards the entrance.

Seeing him approach, Vivia hooked her lips into a smile, tugging at Mia, who was still glaring fiercely at Hope. In a cold voice, she said, “Young Master Knox is coming this way, so perk up. Grandfather said, the announcement of your marriage should be made tonight, and the wedding date set quickly. Once the date is fixed, the Knox Family won’t be able to call off the engagement, got that?”

Mia also noticed Alexander approaching. This man, after all, was the most desirable bachelor present tonight, and naturally, she, Mia Fuller, should be the woman by his side.

“I get it, sister. Don’t worry,” she responded.

If she couldn’t marry Waylon Lewis, reluctantly marrying Alexander Knox was still acceptable.

“Those two must be the Fuller sisters, absolutely stunning indeed.”

“I heard that Second Miss Walker has an engagement with Young Master Knox, surely a match of equally talented individuals.”

“Did you all not notice the lady in the light purple dress?”

“Of course we did. Her demeanor and looks are simply incredible, easily overshadowing the Fuller sisters. But who is that lady? Do you know?”

“I don’t know, but just from her demeanor, she’s certainly from a prestigious and influential family.”

“I agree.”

Alexander continued his steady walk towards the entrance.

Mia smiled tenderly, her heart racing with excitement.

Regardless, she was still a Miss of the Fuller Family, and Alexander would certainly give her face; he would definitely come to her.

Mia’s lips curved upward as she sensed envious glances from around, regaining her confidence with a proud smile.

Alexander walked straight toward them, his gaze placidly falling on Hope.

As Alexander drew closer, Mia gracefully picked up her skirt, assuming a proud stance, and took two steps forward, “Alex…”

“Miss Williams isn’t very punctual, is she?”

“Sorry, I was delayed on the road.”

“It’s alright, it’s just that Grandma has been going on about you, thinking I didn’t invite you. She almost made me go pick you up.”

“Mr. Knox, you’re joking.”

Alexander chuckled, “Just speaking the truth.”

Mia’s steps abruptly halted, her eyes narrowing sharply.
