Chapter 144
As for the designers and tailors, when Kingsley pushed the door open and entered, they had already found an excuse for themselves and asked the servants to bring them out to the washroom.
They came out to smoke and kill time to give Kingsley and Elaine privacy.
When Kingsley left, Elaine looked at herself in the fitting mirror. Her face was red, and sweetness surged in her heart.
The phone on the table rang. Elaine skipped off to get it..
The call was from Sharon. She said, “Dear Elaine, I wish you a happy engagement in advance. How is it? Have you received the engagement gift I gave you!”
Elaine looked at the exquisitely wrapped gift box on the table. The deliveryman just delivered it a moment ago.
She smiled. “Yes, I received it. Sharon. Thank you for the necklace. It looks expensive.”
Sharon chuckled, “What’s the big deal? It is a once–in–a–lifetime event for you. No matter how expensive the necklace is, it’s worth it. Besides, I can earn so much money today all because of you. Don’t stand on ceremony”
Elaine replied. “Alright, I’ll take it then”
Then, Sharon mentioned something else. “By the way, will you continue filming that variety show? I saw Chelsea and the others posting on Twitter to wish you a happy engagement. You’ve gained a lot from this trip.
“It’s said that Bianca wants to take on better–quality films to change her career direction. She’s been trying to curry favor with Laura. I didn’t expect Laura to ignore her and instead have a good relationship with you. I’m afraid Rianca is about to die from anger.”
Elaine also saw the blessings from her friends on the variety show and she responded to them one by one.
She gained quite a lot of followers on Twitter. She had several hundred thousand followers now, which was quite impressive.
“Of course, I still have to film the variety show, Since it’s the first variety show invested by our company, as the boss, I naturally have to be more involved. We haven’t even recovered the cost of filming the variety show yet,” said Elaine

Elaine then sighed again. “Running a company has made me realize how money–consuming it can be. It’s truly like money flowing down the drain. If I didn’t have some skills to make a living, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to sustain the company’s expensive operations”
Radiant Media was a brand–new company. It relied on spending a lot of money to maintain and operate. Because of its wealth, it had always been envied by the Yeats family’s Galaxy Entertainment.
Sharon was speechless, thinking, “What does she mean by “some skills to make a living? With Elaine’s skills, it would be more appropriate to describe them as invaluable treasures”
Sharon was one of the only two persons who knew about Elaine’s past. After learning about Elaine’s glorious past, she felt her legs go weak, and she almost got down on her knees. She felt Elaine was capable.
She decided that no matter what, she had to stick to Elaine.
With that thought in mind, Sharon said, “Elaine, you’re being too modest now. If everyone were like you, ordinary people like me wouldn’t be able
to survive.
She clicked her tongue and continued, “Unlike your hypocritical sister, who only has three parts of ability but tries to package herself as having ten. Promise me you’ll make her face swell with einbarrassment, okay?”
“Alright, I promise you: Elaine agreed.
Elaine and Sharon chatted about the company for a while before hanging up.
Then, Elaine had to study the makeup for tomorrow’s engagement party.
When the maid came in, she told Elaine that Ella had come to the Morgan family.
“Mr. Morgan has instructed us not to let anyone from the Yeats family in, so I asked them to leave,” said the maid
Elaine nodded. “You did well.

Ella was probably |
y mocked by the people in the circle and provoked quite a bit, so she came to me to ask for an explanation: Elaine thought. She hail seen Ella’s unreasonable side before.
Since we have already officially cut ties, no matter what the Years family people thought or how they wanted to control me e in private, that was their business. I ignore them, Elaine thought
After trying on her makeup and hair, Elaine finally saw Benjamin.
Benjamin’s personality was a little similar to Kingsley’s. They were both a little cold and did not reveal their emotions.
He wasn’t in good health, but he looked energetic.
“She’s Elaine, right?” Benjamin took out an envelope with a card inside. “Take this. This is my greeting gift to you.”
Abbot exclaimed exaggeratedly from the side. “Oh, Grandpa, you’re so blased. Growing up, the pocket money I received from you was all 100 dollars. I thought you were stingy. Good lord, in the end, you gave Elaine a million dollars as a greeting gift. Grandpa, you’re so biased”
Elaine couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that
Grace smiled and said, “Take it. It’s a greeting gift.”
Elaine took it and said, “Thank you, Mr. Morgan
A smile appeared in Benjamin’s e
is eyes.
Everyone treated Elaine very well. Elaine thought it was not bad being the mascot of the Morgan family
Early the next morning. Elaine and Kingsley woke up. Elaine put on makeup and styled herself. Kingsley also tidied up a little. He didn’t use makeup, but his skin was surprisingly good, better than hers
He was already as handsome as a model from Mosminware after changing into a new haute couture suit. The difference was that he had an extraordinary temperament. One look and one could tell that he was from a wealthy family.
The media in the city once again gathered at the Morgan Group’s engagement party.
The reporters were carrying large and small items as they squatted at the entrance of Morgan Hotel. As longtis a luxury car came over, they would take photos of it, afraid they would miss out on a heavyweight.
The truth was that everyone who came today seemed to be extraordinary. All of them were heavyweight big shots.
“M–Mr. Stone. So you’re also here at Boynton?” a reporter asked.
Faced with the reporters‘ questions, William walked out of the car and smiled. “Yes, I’m here to attend the engagement party,”
Oh, Mr. Winston, you’re here for the engagement party? The reporters kept asking and their cameras never stopped flashing
Elaine saw them take their seats and asked Kingsley, “Isn’t this a little too high–profile?”
Kingsley was a very low–key person. For many years in Boynton, he hardly let anyone know about his background and identity.
These people’s identities were so noble. Elaine was afraid it would be too ostentatious.
Kingsley shrugged. “It’s okay”
He looked at her and smiled. Then, he said softly, “Elaine, engagement and marriage are both once–in–a–lifetime events. It is the ceremony that I want to give you.
“I don’t want to handle these things in a hush–hush manner. It wouldn’t be fair to you. I won’t let my wife feel like she’s being with me secretly. What Ican give you is the best I can offer
Elaine’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this
Every encounter between her and him in her previous life and this one had brought them together.
Elaine felt she was lucky this time. She had Kingsley protecting her. His grandmother, mother, and grandfather also liked her. She had obtained the happiness she wanted.
Today, the hotel’s first floor was used to entertain the guests attending the engagement party,
