The man was tall with long legs, and his black casual clothes outlined his perfect figure. His extraordinary long legs were particularly eye-catching, and his delicate facial features were three- dimensional. His deep eyes were coldly staring at them.
This was an excellent man!
Wasn't this the man they dreamed of catching?
Immediately, these women reacted, their eyes like wolves and tigers, wishing to pounce on Franklin immediately.
"This lady bumped into me and demanded that I kneel down to apologize. She also demanded compensation for a 20-thousand-dollar dress," Sylvia said calmly with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Sir, is it because this country bumpkin disturbed your dining experience?" Kristen flirtatiously flicked her long hair behind her ear. She had practiced this move in front of the mirror countless times and considered it very elegant and sexy.
However... Franklin didn't even glance at her but went straight to Sylvia's side to inspect the stains on her clothes. A storm of anger gathered in his eyes.
"Where is the manager?" He spoke irritably while the restaurant manager who had been dealing with other matters rushed over apologetically. "Mr. Maskelyne, I'm sorry! I was handling something else just now."
"Get rid of this disgusting woman for me!" Franklin's voice contained a hint of anger.
Kristen's eyes immediately flashed with victorious satisfaction; that trashy woman was going to have bad luck after all!
This man's name was Maskelyne; could he be the legendary Franklin? Oh my god! How lucky she was that she caught Franklin's attention!
But then... before she could finish dreaming about it, two security guards directed by the manager came towards her without any mercy or pity in their big bodies as they dragged Kristen out directly.
She felt completely bewildered and panicked as she pointed at Sylvia shouting. "What do you mean? Isn't she supposed to leave?"
Franklin sneered. "She is Mrs. Maskelyne - the owner of this restaurant - are you sure you want her gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present froze in disbelief, staring at Sylvia; Was she Mrs. Maskelyne?
Kristen felt dizzy; how could it be possible? Mrs. Maskelyne would be so low-key dressed so simply?
It wasn't like what she imagined high-end socialites or noble ladies looked like...
She suddenly caught sight of a familiar tall figure walking into the restaurant from the corner of her eye, and she immediately became excited as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
"Brother, big brother! Save me, save me!"
"This woman not only dirtied my clothes but also wants to kick me out of this restaurant!"
As Soren led Isla into the restaurant, he heard a familiar voice, especially that scream which was piercing and unpleasant. When he looked up, he saw his step-sister grimacing and shouting at him loudly in embarrassment.
He walked over to Kristen with an annoyed tone. "What's going on? What have you done again?"
"Brother, they bullied me!" Kristen pointed at Franklin and Sylvia. Soren looked over and saw their familiar faces; he was instantly furious.
He almost gritted his teeth. "What are you doing? Do you know who they are? Mr. Maskelyne and Mrs. Maskelyne! You offended them; what else do you want? Can't you just calm down?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Brother-" Kristen was shocked as she stared at Soren in surprise." Brother... I don't want to be kicked out; can you help me plead for mercy? So many students are watching..."
It's too embarrassing!
Soren looked angrily at his step-sister making a fool of herself in public and couldn't help but slap her across the face with force." Shut up! Apologize to Mr. Maskelyne and Maskelyne for me!"
"Brother..." As soon as she got slapped by him in public like this, Kristen's cheek swelled up. Soren has an athlete's strength that ordinary people cannot match.
She stood there looking like a clown jumping around on stage.
The way she acted before was so arrogant, but now it is so embarrassing.
"Apologize!" Soren spoke coldly, his eyes fixed on her with icy coldness.
It seemed like he was looking at someone who is already dead.
He had been fed up with this step-sister using his name outside to deceive others, and now it even involved Sylvia.
He wished that this stupid woman would disappear from the world forever.
Kristen looked humiliated as she apologized reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she wished that there were cracks on the ground where could hide. She felt particularly embarrassed because there were so many students present. How could she establish prestige among them or teach them how to become qualified socialites?
Sylvia was simply ruining all opportunities for wealth for her career path.
She thought to herself, "My brother can't be relied on, but she thinks she can rely on someone else? Does she really think that I don't have any connections besides my brother? Does this little slut want to hit me in the face?"
Soren was embarrassed and almost couldn't bear to look at Franklin's face. "She's my stepsister and we're not related by blood. She always likes to use my name to cause trouble outside. I've told her several times."
But unfortunately... Father favors this stepdaughter.
He usually doesn't bother with this family.
Sylvia's gaze fell on Isla, who was looking at the other woman's beautiful face with interest. Isla was stunningly beautiful but now because of meeting them both, she was so embarrassed that she could have dug a hole in front of her feet and buried herself alive.
She cursed Kristen. Terrible! Her secret love affair had been exposed!
Especially Sylvia's gaze which stared like a searchlight at their hands clasped tightly together made her shrink back in fear as she tried desperately to break free.
But Soren held onto her hand tightly; there was no way for her strength alone could break free from his grip.
All Isla could do now is cry bitterly while wearing an awkward expression on her face. "Mr. Maskelyne, Mrs. Maskelyne, what a coincidence!"
"Are you two dating?" Sylvia laughed like spring breeze blowing across one's face; last time during MI6 basketball game when they were watching them closely, it seemed there might be something going on between them after all.
"Uh..." Isla's small face suddenly turned red. "I..."
"We plan on getting engaged," Soren stretched out his long arm and hugged Isla around the waist instead.
Isla turned pale with fright. "Engaged... When did it happen? Why didn't I know about it?"
And also he never even proposed marriage!
Suddenly, melodious music started playing; Isla looked at Soren somewhat surprised. "This is... 'Today You Will...'"
"'Marry Me Today'." Soren smiled as he suddenly knelt down onto one knee then took out a velvet box from his pocket before holding it up towards Isla.
Inside lay quietly an egg-shaped diamond ring sparkling brilliantly under the light.
Pink rose petals began falling gently from above making everything seem incredibly romantic and dreamy.
Now shocked beyond words by what just happened before him – staring fixedly at that expensive diamond ring -Isla couldn't believe what had just occurred right before him.
The group of female students wearing uniforms recognized the ring. One of them exclaimed and covered her mouth, "Oh my god! Isn't this the limited edition diamond ring from XX brand?"
"Darling, will you marry me?" Soren tilted his head slightly as he looked at Isla in front of him. Isla's rosy complexion slowly faded away from shock to moved to now feeling sad and lost.
The brightness in her star-like eyes disappeared along with it.
She pulled the corners of her mouth slightly and reached out to grab Soren's arm. "You should get up first."
"If you don't say yes, I won't get up," Soren frowned at her. After all this time, he was sure that she liked him.
But why didn't she say yes?
His heart sank slowly and felt a bit suffocated, almost unable to breathe.
"If you don't get up, then I'll leave," Isla said as she turned around quickly. Her high heels made a clacking sound on the polished floor as she walked away quickly like running for dear life.
Soren hurriedly stood up and chased after her. He had planned on making today romantic by proposing in this restaurant amidst everyone's blessings but then something like Kristen happened again!
They hadn't even finished decorating yet!
Kristen was already stunned by everything that had happened so far! She glared angrily at Isla's back until it seemed like she could pierce through it with just one look. She had been paying attention to Sylvia and Franklin until just now when she realized there was another beautiful woman beside Soren.
When did big brother start dating? And why didn't anyone tell me about it?
No way, big brother belonged only to her! How could he date someone else? If she couldn't find someone better than big brother then she would marry him instead. With his amazing physique and athletic background, his body shape and explosive power were not something ordinary oily rich old men could compare with.
She had been coveting him for a long time but who knew he would fall in love? And propose marriage to this woman too?
Kristen wasn't even interested in seducing Franklin anymore; all of her thoughts were focused on why big brother would date someone else when he belonged only to her!
"Let's go eat," Franklin scratched Sylvia's nose playfully before leading them over towards their seats.
He took advantage of the situation by holding onto Sylvia's small hand while taking another glance at the dirty clothes on Sylvia's body before calling Jasper. "Bring over some new clothes."
Sylvia smiled sweetly at him before walking together towards a corner table location.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and the few female students wearing headbands awkwardly returned to their seats. The spectacle just now was simply ridiculous.
But Kristen couldn't bear this feeling, whether it was Sylvia slapping her in the face or Soren dating someone else. Both made her angrier and more hateful!
"Sylvia, Isla, you two bitches! Don't think you can monopolize the world's best man! I'll have to steal one back for myself!"
