Chapter 129 In a panic, Leah pulled her phone out and dialed her mother’s number. She shouted into the phone the moment her mother picked up. “Mom, tell Mr. and Mrs. Manson to come over right now! Nigel is proposing to someone else in the hall!” Leah was close to stomping the ground with rage. How can this happen? Who's the woman he’s proposing to? Where's she from, and what's her background? Meanwhile, Elliot, who was standing on the stairway of the second floor, fixed his cold and sharp gaze on the woman on stage.

He was hoping for Anastasia to surprise Nigel with a harsh rejection. Elliot would never allow her to marry someone else, after all. He felt a strong urge to dominate and gain control over the woman as he watched the proposal happening. | want her. | don’t care if it's because of my grandmother's orders or the fact that her mother saved our family; | want Anastasia anyway. | wasn't sure about my feelings in the past, but everything is clear now. I'm certain that she belongs to me.

While all of this was going on, Harriet walked out of one of the private rooms just in time to see Nigel's proposal. Harriet's eyesight wasn't the best, so she had to ask the people around her about it. “Who's the one making a marriage proposal on the stage?” she asked.

“It's your grandson, Nigel, proposing to some girl!” a guest replied.

“What? Which girl is this?” Harriet squinted to get a better look. The woman on stage seems rather familiar... Is that Anastasia? Someone gave Harriet the answer then. “Your grandson is proposing to Miss Anastasia.” “What?” Harriet was too shocked to move. “Is that Anastasia?” What's going on? Elliot’s the one who should be proposing to Anastasia! Why is Nigel the one proposing? Hayley was somewhere in the crowd, and she watched the entire situation with a look of disbelief on her face.

Did someone just propose to Anastasia? | didn't know who the guy was earlier, but | heard the other people say that the man is Old Madam Presgrave’s grandson, Young Master Nigel. How could that be? Why would the young master of the Manson Family propose to Anastasia? Is she that attractive? If Anastasia doesn’t get married to Elliot, there's still another rich man who's waiting for her. Both these men are Old Madam Presgrave’s grandsons! | can’t believe it.

Meanwhile, Anastasia remained on stage with her face beet red. She desperately wanted to dig a hole to bury her head in it.

Nigel's actions had put her in a highly awkward situation, where she would hurt Nigel if she rejected him in front of everyone. She would turn him into a fool in front of all the guests, and she didn’t want to do that to him. But if she said yes, then it was simply too sudden for her. How could she say yes just like that? It felt just as irresponsible to do such a thing.

“Why don’t we talk privately, Nigel?” Anastasia bent down a little to talk to Nigel. However, Nigel wasn't in the mood to have a discussion then. He gave her a solid gaze as he repeated his question into the mic. “Marry me, Anastasia! I'll take care of you for the rest of your life, and I'll keep you happy forever.” Nigel was so desperate for her! He knew it wasn’t right to put her in such a tough spot, but he didn’t want to wait any longer. He wanted to give her a proper title as his wife, and he wanted to take care of her and Jared.

“Nigel!” Anastasia was giving him all sorts of looks, hinting for him to get off the stage. She didn’t want to continue being the center of attention. However, Nigel refused to stand up and continued to kneel while staring at her. He held the diamond ring in front of her without moving at all.

“Say yes!” Someone in the crowd started cheering. More people began to clap and shout. “Say yes, girl! Don’t hesitate anymore! Say yes!” Anastasia felt even more embarrassed after hearing all the cheers. Blood rushed all the way to her ears as she stared at the ring in Nigel's hand. If | put it on, will | be able to get Nigel to stand up and leave the stage? Right then, she noticed the sincere look in Nigel's eyes. She didn’t know how to deal with the feelings he had for her, so she simply pressed her red lips together before sighing and taking the ring into her hands.

The very next second, Nigel leaped up in joy before giving her a tight hug. Anastasia hadn't expected the sudden embrace. The next thing she knew, she felt his lips pressing themselves against hers.
