Chapter 4: I’m Getting Engaged

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Williams Corporation, top office.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Cole Stone took in a deep breath and knocked. “Miss Williams, I’m Cole Stone.”

“Come in, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Cara Williams’ lazy and charming voice reverberated.

Cole Stone gulped and pushed open the door to the office with trembling hands.

A beautiful and mature silhouette stood in front of him.

Her black and curly hair sat languidly on her shoulders. Her delicate and exquisite face looked flawless even without any makeup. The dark long dress emphasized her white and smooth skin.

She was none other than Cara Williams.

The queen of Williams Corporation.

Looking at this woman, Cole Stone felt that the room seemed to have become hotter.

His breathing quickened out of nervousness.

“Am I that beautiful? For you to stare that long?”

Cara Williams’ eyes fluttered.

Cole Stone hurriedly turned his gaze. “I’m sorry, Miss Williams. I did not mean to.”

He had close encounters with her in the gym back then.

But Cole Stone had never realized just how charming she was.

“Take a seat and relax. We’ll discuss our marriage.”

Cara Williams spoke in a gentle tone.

But she sternly emphasized the final few words in her sentence.

Cole Stone lowered his gaze, afraid to make eye contact.

He scrambled to find a chair to sit down on.

“Cole, I’ll send 1.5million to your card. Just tell me if you need more.”

Cara Williams smiled as she looked at the nervous Cole Stone.

Cole Stone immediately stared at her. “Miss Williams, I don’t need that much. I just need you to help me sell my house.”

He did not want to owe Cara Williams too much.

“No.”

Cara Williams stood up and sat on the table in front of Cole Stone.

She looked down at him and asked, “Is there any problem if I gave my man a mere 1.5million dollars?”

Cole Stone sniffed the fragrance coming from Cara Williams and his heartbeat accelerated.

He instinctively moved further away and replied, “Miss Williams, isn’t getting married to me too—”

“Too much?” Cara Williams looked at Cole Stone.

He nodded.

Cara Williams suddenly bent forward and closed the distance between them.

Her eyes glistened as she asked, “Is marrying me too much trouble for you?”

Cole Stone braced himself and replied, “It’s… It will be troublesome for you.”

He planned on turning her down amicably.

“This is the second time you’ve rejected me. Could it be that you don’t think that I’m good enough for you?” Cara Williams’ words suddenly turned cold.

Cole Stone’s face changed slightly. “Miss Williams, I don’t mean it that way. I was saying—”

Cara Williams stood up and turned towards the glass window. “Go back.”

Cole Stone smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry, Miss Williams.”

With that, Cole Stone stood up and bowed. “I’ll return your money. I’ll try to help you in any way I can, but us getting married is simply too much.”

Not only did they not have any feelings for each other, but Cara Williams’ status was…

They were not from the same world.

Why force it when the outcome could be predicted?

“Leave.”

Cara Williams did not turn around.

Seeing this, Cole Stone bowed once again and left the office.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Although he made Cara Williams unhappy, he felt as if a burden was lifted off his shoulders.

He didn’t have to think about marriage anymore. free webnovel.com

Cara Williams was certainly stunning.

But Cole Stone knew his status in life.

Despite knowing that it was impossible between them, Cole Stone still felt disappointed…

After rejecting Cara Williams, he had lost his only road to clear his debts.

He had also lost the final dregs of his dignity.

When Cole Stone left, Cara Williams suddenly let out a smile.

“Cole Stone. He’s an interesting man, I admit.”

She took out a dark ring which was shining red at this moment. “But is it really him?”

Looking at the ring, Cara Williams recalled the words of an expert.

“Marry the person who makes the ring glow…”

“He can help your family overcome a catastrophe.”

She had never believed in fortune-telling.

But the dark ring only started to heat up and glow when she first met Cole Stone.

The strange phenomenon was enough to convince her.

Even so, the queen of Williams Corporation could simply not decide to marry Cole Stone right away.

She found the opportunity to become his student and she started to observe him closely.

Cole Stone had a positive outlook in life. He was a decent and hardworking man. Most of all, he was a loyal man. After she tested him by saying that he would no longer have to work so hard if he started dating her, he politely and thoughtfully declined her.

This made Cara Williams develop an interest in him.

She wanted to tease him with marriage to see how the man who could help her family overcome a catastrophe was like.

But before she could take her joke back, Cole Stone started to decline her with all sorts of excuses. Of course, what he had done only enraged her…

How am I not good enough for you?

She thought.

Ding!

A notification popped up.

It was from Cole Stone. “Miss Williams, I’m sorry.”

Cara Williams smirked. “Trying to escape?”

Suddenly, she grabbed a phone on the desk and dialed a number.

“Transfer 1.5million dollars to my gym coach.”

“Yes.” The person on the phone succinctly replied.

Cara Williams continued. “Also, help me find a top planner. I want to hold the biggest and most luxurious engagement banquet in Sky City.”

Silence…

After a while, the voice from the other end replied, “Who’s getting engaged?”

Cara Williams looked at Cole Stone’s message meaningfully before replying.

“It’s me, Cara Williams.”

“…”

“The Queen of Williams Corporation will be holding an engagement banquet in three months.”

When the news spread, there was a huge uproar.

The entire Sky City was thrown into an uproar.

Everybody began to gather information from their connections.

Who is the groom?

Which war god from which land is the groom?

Just who on earth is the groom?

At this moment…

Cole Stone who has just arrived at his home gawked at the news…
