Chapter 510 I Want to Propose a Marriage
“Why are their two daughters so different from each other?”
“Don’t you know that the Anderson Family’s eldest daughter was adopted? It’s no longer a secret now.”
“Really? No wonder they’re so different. Mannerism is something embedded in your blood. No matter
what luxurious life you have lived, it’s impossible for an adopted child to inherit that grace…”
All of the gossip had reached Faye’s ears.
On the surface, she had remained calm as she smiled from time to time when meeting the guests’ gaze.
She was already used to the flattering and tampering culture of the upper-class society. The reason why
the crowd tried to flatter Elise was because she was Austin’s biological daughter and would inherit the
Anderson Family’s enterprise in the future, so it would be beneficial for them to befriend Elise.
However, the Anderson Family’s power was still subject to change. Once I regain my position, all of
those who have underestimated me will never get to share my power!
After the greetings were done and dealt with, some impatient guests raised their voices to remind Austin,
“Mr. Anderson, didn’t you promise us that we can see the blood jadeite today?”
With that, the others immediately followed up. “That’s right. Did the Anderson Family really get their
hands on such a rare item?”
Listening to them, Faye quietly controlled her laughter while wearing an unnoticeable sinister smile.
Austin nodded his head slightly and looked at Elise. “Yoyo, did you bring the blood jadeite?” he asked
gently.
As soon as he finished his sentence, the surprised voice of the welcoming servants was heard coming
from the entrance. “Mr. Kenneth Bailey from Smith Co. is here!”
“Kenneth actually showed up! He is that big shot from Landred City!”
“I never imagined the Anderson Family to have connections with him!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Has anyone ever counted how much property Smith Co. has?”
“I heard that Kenneth’s business has spread across the entire country. It’s just a matter of time before
Athesea falls in his hands!”
The guests continued to chat as they were more interested in Kenneth compared to the main event of
today—Elise.
Amidst the gaze of the crowd, Kenneth wore a black suit and a pair of white gloves as he showed up with
Melody and Johnny. He went straight toward Elise right after the red carpet.
Looking at him, Elise frowned her brows in annoyance. Why is he everywhere?
“It has been a while, Miss Anderson. I hope I didn’t ruin your good mood.” Kenneth ignored Austin and
stopped in front of her.
“Well, you have successfully stolen my spotlight,” she answered impatiently.
He then turned around to look at the manor before chuckling faintly. “Believe me, Miss Anderson. No one
can ever steal the spotlight from you with your charisma.”
“Thanks for the compliment. However, I’m not in the mood to argue with you today, so if there’s nothing
else, can you please stay away from me?” Elise gave Kenneth a grim look.
In the eyes of the guests, their bickering made them look like they were flirting.
“It seems like there’s a close relationship between Kenneth and Yoona!”
“From what I know, Kenneth has never been this close to any woman.”
“You can’t blame the Anderson Family’s youngest daughter for being so beautiful! If I were him, I would
be attracted to her too. Hahaha…”
Austin, who was ignored, quickly went up and apologized for Elise’s attitude. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bailey, but
my younger daughter is a bit too straightforward with her words, so please do not take it to heart. You
may go to the side to have some drinks first. I’ll personally send my apologies to you later on, okay?”
When Kenneth glanced at Austin, he became much more respectful toward the older man. With just a
change of identity, my future father-in-law now has a lot of respect for me. Looks like I should really
consider using this identity more often.
“What’s the hurry?” Kenneth casually removed his gloves. “I haven’t even given you my gift yet.”
While hooking his index finger, he signaled for Johnny to bring a file over.
Then, he handed the file over to Austin. “Mr. Anderson, this is my gift.”
“Gift?” Austin was puzzled to receive a yellow paper bag that didn’t look like a gift at all.
However, he still received it, albeit resentfully. “That’s so nice of you, Mr. Bailey.”
After that, he handed the file to the housekeeper to have it kept away in the house first, but Kenneth
interrupted him. “Why don’t you open the file and have a look?”
Opening a gift in front of the guest was a foreign culture. Even though it wasn’t encouraged in the
country, it wasn’t something that people avoided doing. Yet, it didn’t mean that the gift must be opened
immediately. However, the guests were so interested in what an impressive person like Kenneth would
give that they all had their necks craned with their eyes glued on the file.
Therefore, Austin had no choice but to open the gift.
Inside the file was nothing but a document.
“Share sale agreement?” He instinctively read the title of the document.
“That’s right.” Kenneth smiled brightly. “I came here today to propose a marriage and this is my betrothal
gift. It is ten percent of Smith Co.’s shares.”
The crowd was immediately in an uproar.
“Is he joking? Ten percent of Smith Co.’s shares would equate to at least ten billion, and he’s just going
to give it out like this?!”
“Kenneth is indeed living a different life than all of us!”
“Wait! That’s not the point! Did you all not hear what he just said? He said he wanted to propose a
marriage. That means he wants to marry the Anderson Family’s daughter!”
“I thought that the Anderson Family’s youngest daughter already has a fiance from the Griffith Family.
Alexander is also a lovely guy too.”
“The Griffiths have already gone bankrupt. Do you really think he is a match for the Smith Co.?”
“Wait a minute! Does that mean the one he wants to marry is the Anderson Family’s eldest daughter?”

This was exactly what Faye was thinking about.
She looked at Kenneth in surprise with eyes that shimmered in excitement.
Meanwhile, Elise gave him a side-eye. What is this scumbag trying to do? Is he trying to ruin the
banquet?
Soon, someone in the audience raised their voice. “This can’t be true. I thought that the Anderson
Family’s eldest daughter is already engaged to that b*stard from the Olson Family, Johan!”
“Shush! Didn’t you know that Johan is dead? His car fell off a cliff and they still can’t recover his body. It
just happened two days ago!”
“Really? Oh my God, that’s horrible!”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. He deserved it for involving himself in so many illegal activities. At least
the Anderson Family’s eldest daughter benefited from his death…”
Elise heard everything behind her clearly as she looked at Faye in shock. It never crossed my mind that
Johan will end up like this after taking so many shots for her. She sure is ruthless. However, even if he is
alive right now, he won’t have that long to live. It makes everything easier now that he is dead.
Meanwhile, Austin was in a trance as he pondered for a while before responding hesitantly, “My eldest
daughter’s fiance has just passed away, so I don’t think she’ll be able to accept a new relationship so
soon…”
“No.” Faye walked over to them and tried to control her excitement. “Daddy, I am alright with it.”
“Faye!” He tried to hint to her about how bad it would look to the public for her to accept the proposal
right after her fiance had just died.
However, she couldn’t care less. After all, she had never loved Johan before. Therefore, the gossip and
criticism were nothing to her as long as she could be with Kenneth. As long as I can marry Kenneth, I
can finally have an advantage over Elise. Alexander might be an outstanding man, but for now, he is just
a broke man. Who knows how long he will need to recover from this crisis? As for Kenneth, he is
completely different from Alexander. If I can be together with Kenneth, I’ll finally make it to the top of
society
