You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: A Love Announcement

The dinner soon began. Tonight’s dinner party was a buffet party. Everyone could take their food and wine and then either go to a table or walk around and mingle with the guests. Mainly, the people who attended this dinner party were all the business celebrities, and everyone hoped to expand their interpersonal circle.

So the whole dining area was filled with people walking, toasting, and talking, and almost no one chose to go to their tables and sit and eat. Of course, it did not include Edie. Stuart had not come yet, and there was no one that she knew in the whole Beck Mansion. Edie would rather sit down and enjoy her dinner.

In such a high-end mansion, even the food was much more delicious. There were a lot of different high-grade ingredients like white truffle, goose liver, and Australian lobster. The food was inexhaustible, and the instant that someone took any of it, the waiter would replenish it immediately.

Edie was very grateful for the loose brace dress the stylist chose for her, which made her able to eat indulgently without worrying about the overall shape. There were few people in the dining area, and Edie was too beautiful and eye-catching, so even the waiters took the initiative to serve her.

Seeing that the goose liver in her dish was almost finished, a waiter immediately took another one and came over, "Lady, please enjoy your dinner." Edie was a little surprised, "Thank you."

"If you want anything else, just call me. I will go get it for you."

"Okay, thank you."

While Edie was enjoying herself, on the other side of the mansion, something was happening. The business celebrities were talking happily. The precious jewels worn by the ladies and the glass goblets held by the men were shining under the light. The whole lively mansion was surrounded by a luxurious atmosphere.

Donald and Joanna were standing close to one another. Both of them were holding a glass of red wine. They looked perfectly matched to each other. Some people were surrounding them, and the envious admirations were endless.

"Joanna, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, and you are more beautiful. It must be that Donald has taken such good care of you."

"I heard that Joanna doesn’t film kissing plots anymore. It must be for Donald. That’s really enviable."

"Yeah, you are really a perfect couple, and you are perfect for one another. It’s been so long since your engagement. When are you going to get married?"

Joanna seemed to be shy and slightly turned her head, and she said to her friend with a trace of a complaint, "Oh, don’t ask me like that. It sounds like I am in a hurry to get married." The person turned to Donald, "Donald, you are too careless. With such a good woman like Joanna, you should hurry to marry her. Aren’t you afraid that she will change her mind?"

Joanna actually arranged this question in advance. She couldn’t personally force him to marry her, so she had arranged for other people to imply it to him. Donald lifted the goblet and took a sip of red wine. When he heard these words, his face showed a gentle smile.

"Of course, I am not afraid. We have not been engaged for not a long, but it has been a short time and really there is no rush. Why would I want to rush such a beautiful thing?"

Hearing that, Joanna felt her smile slightly stiff and secretly clenched her teeth.

"Donald, it’s not right. After all, Joanna is a woman. This is one of a woman’s happiest moments in her life. If you are a responsible man, you should marry her early, so that you can also have a child soon."

This word was somewhat over the line, but Joanna did not say anything, and she actually was also waiting for Donald’s answer. Donald did not deny it at this time. He nodded, "You are right. I have also considered this. Don’t worry. I will give Joanna a grand wedding, and she will be satisfied."

Donald’s face was tender and pampering, entirely like a model boyfriend.

"Wow, a love announcement! It is really enviable."

"Come on! This couple is displaying affection every day, but I am not jealous at all."

"It’s because they’re perfect for one another."

The people around started to admire them again. Joanna smiled, and her heart was a little relieved. In any case, the words of Donald at least proved that he still loved her. While everyone was talking and laughing, the door of the mansion was suddenly opened.

The mansion was in a short silence. A tall man dressed in an expensive suit came in. He was handsome but looked indifferent, and his black pearl-like eyes were sharp and reserved. His whole body exuded the temperament like a king.

This person was precisely Stuart. After a moment of silence, the mansion became noisy.

"Is he, Master Yates?"

"My God, I didn’t see Master Yates before. I didn’t expect him to be not only young and capable but also so charming."

"Master Yates actually attends the auction personally? God, I am more interested in this auction."

Stuart turned a deaf ear to the people who were gossiping about him. When walking, he almost did not squint as if he was not interested in anything. The calm and wise eyes looked straight ahead, and few people dared to have any eye contact with him.

Even the people around Joanna became quiet. They breathlessly looked at Stuart approaching like a king. Stuart did not give them a look and went straight to the center of the mansion. He stopped in front of an old-school gentleman dressed in a handmade suit. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Mr. Beck, it has been a long time." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Stuart stood straight, stretched out his slender arm, and gently shook hands with Mr. Beck. Then he greeted him with pleasantly received pronunciation. Mr. Beck was the owner of the Beck Mansion.

He possessed the most luxurious business mansion in the City and the most highly qualified auction house. He even had the shares of the two largest auction houses in the world, Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Seeing Stuart, Mr. Beck was thrilled and surprised. He handed the red wine to the attendant next to him, and after shaking hands, he hugged Stuart.

"Oh, my dear, it has been long since I have seen you last. I think the last time was at Sotheby’s in the U.K. You are too busy even to have time to meet with me. I didn’t expect you to come to my auction personally today. It makes me so happy to see you here."

In the past, because of Stuart’s work he had been too busy, the Beck Mansion would send the items album of the auction to the L.N. Group. Stuart ticked out the desired items and then directly purchased them with the price of ten percent higher than the highest bid.

This time, Stuart actually showed up in person, which was undoubtedly an honor for Mr. Beck.

"I had to come. There is an item tonight, which I must get it." The tone of Stuart was serious but revealed an apparent decision.

Mr. Beck immediately asked with interest, "I wonder what is so magical that it could make you personally come here tonight. I must collect more things like it in the future."

"It’s a necklace. My wife wants it, so I am here to get it for her." Mr. Beck’s face was full of amazement, "Oh my, you already have gotten married? Which lady is your wife? Please introduce it to me."

"She came here earlier than me. Now I am also looking for her." Then Stuart slightly frowned. When he entered the mansion, he glanced around the dining area, but Edie was not there. So, where was she?
