Chapter 430 - Tom And Sasha’s Engagement Banquet
Sasha was really surprised by what Samuel said just now.
Her eyes flashed with rage, mixed with fear and determination. She crumpled her engagement invitation in her hand and spoke firmly, "Brother, I like Tom... I want to get engaged to him!"
Samuel was busy looking for a number on his phone screen when he heard it and suddenly stopped moving.
"What did you say?"
Sasha\'s gasping for breath, she then gritted her teeth and repeated her words very seriously. "Brother, I want to get engaged to Tom! I didn\'t tell you because it should be a surprise. We are family, why did you never trust me?"
"Don\'t you care about my heart? I\'ve decided to get engaged to Tom because I love him, do you have the heart to separate us? As for the Peter family, If you want me to take responsibility, I can come and bow down to apologize to them after my engagement tomorrow!"
Sasha\'s answer left Samuel speechless for a long time.
He knew this little sister well, and he didn\'t instinctively believe that she could like a guy like Tom.
However, her face was completely serious now and every word she said seemed to come from deep within her heart. This made Samuel doubt a little.
He no longer wanted to have anything to do with Sasha and told her to get out of his study. After he was alone, he called the Wibowo family residence to say that he would attend Sasha and Tom\'s engagement party tomorrow.
In the end, Sasha was still his younger sibling. Samuel really didn\'t expect that there would be a day when his sister would fight for the man she loved.
It\'s just… was Tom really the perfect match for his sister?
That evening, after she left Samuel\'s study, she sat in her car and hesitated for a long time. After being silent for a while, she grabbed her cellphone and sent a message to Jean.
Then she opened her contact and stared at the other number with a grim gaze. She typed a message without hesitation. Seeing the text content in it, she hummed and hit the send button.
... ..
The next day, four in the afternoon.
The engagement party between Sasha and Tom was held at Hotel Ocean Star which was managed by the Wibowo family.
This engagement banquet was grand and lavish. If Sasha was present, she would be surprised by this arrangement.
After all, Sasha\'s original intention was not to attend this engagement party. But she greatly underestimated Tom\'s passions and overestimated his ability to come up with a plan.
The hall\'s layout was filled with beautiful and meticulous crystal chandeliers along with a stage of flowers.
The LED screen in front displayed Sasha and Tom\'s pictures hand in hand intimately, adding to the luxurious theme of the party.
Representatives from several large families also joined in to celebrate this event, their number was not small because high-class engagement parties like this had always been a place for elites to gather.
Attending a banquet like this might start out only for politeness but the most important thing was to maintain relationships with others and make new friends that could be profitable in the long run.
When Lilia and Jean arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered in the room.
By the way, this was Lilia\'s first time participating in a rich family\'s engagement party. When she stepped on the red carpet of the banquet hall, the luxurious and blissful atmosphere welcomed her.
Lilia casually looked away and grabbed Jean\'s arm, then said in a low voice, "What makes Sasha unsatisfied when her engagement party is so grand? I don\'t understand her. However, her text yesterday was really weird, what is she planning?"
Last night, when Jean received a message from Sasha, Lilia happened to be beside him.
The content was very concise but still contained a mystery.
-Jean, for tomorrow\'s engagement party, I want to tell you a fact from fourteen years ago.-
When they both saw this message last night, both of them were silent. Even when it\'s time for bed, Lilia couldn\'t stop thinking about it!
That\'s why she couldn\'t wait to come to this banquet and see what Sasha had to say to Jean!
However, what happened fourteen years ago made Lilia a little anxious. What fact did Sasha know that year?
Or was this just a hoax?
After all, Lilia herself didn\'t ask too much about what had happened that year. For her, what happened that year was what sealed her fate and her husband, and the scar she had buried over the years.
Lilia didn\'t want to ask about her husband\'s bitter experience even though she was very curious, this also included who kidnapped Jean and what happened while he was abroad for treatment.
Lilia had been trying to forget this problem and carry on with her domestic life. But now, Sasha suddenly wanted to bring up Jean\'s past.
At this time, the banquet had not started yet. Lilia walked slowly together with Jean in the crowd and hugged her husband\'s arm tightly.
Jean took her to a quiet place and after sitting down, he answered in a deep voice, "No matter what she wants to say, she shouldn\'t know what happened 14 years ago."
Lilia propped her elbow on the edge of the table, and when she heard Jean\'s answer, she held her cheek and looked at her husband\'s face. "Then it\'s quite strange, don\'t you think? She sounded serious in her message. Do you think someone told her?"
Jean scoffed at that, the corner of his lips lifted upward as if smiling mockingly. Even though he didn\'t speak, his eyes slowly fell on Tom, who was looking proud and happy at the entrance.
Lilia followed Jean\'s line of sight. The supermodel was immediately taken aback and lost for words.
She subconsciously felt suspicious, could it be that Tom said something to Sasha about it?
Did Tom really tell Sasha without them knowing?
Even if the Widjaya family had blocked the news at that time, the people in the extended family of the same level would find out the insider\'s information somehow.
But still, Jean saying that Sasha was clueless seemed correct.
...
As time passed, all the guests had arrived, but Sasha hadn\'t even appeared yet.
Right now, in the corner of the room, Chris was sending a message from under the table using his cell phone. He missed his little girl especially for the past two days.
However, it should be too early in America, so he decided not to send it and saved the message and sent it later.
Alex saw him continuously bowing his head and repeatedly deleting and retyping his message from beside him.
Seeing that it was almost five in the afternoon, this engagement party was about to start.
