“Father, where is it… Let me take a look too.”

Maria squeezed next to Mr. Wilson and read the words on it in surprise. “Master Aren of the Brown family will be getting married in the near future. His fiancée is loved by Mrs. Brown… He will introduce her to everyone at the engagement banquet!”

Seeing this, Maria screamed in her heart. She recalled that Madam Brown was very satisfied with her yesterday. The more she recalled, the more certain she became of her being his fiancée.

It must be me!

This fiancée must be me.

“Ever since yesterday, I have not heard of any woman who approached Madam Brown, nor have I heard of any woman who came into contact with Master Aren, so It must be me!” In an instant, Maria felt like she had hit the jackpot. The excitement in her heart could not be described with words.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were also surprised. They pointed at the newspaper in front of them and discussed with each other if the fiancée on it was actually Maria. Their eyes were red and they looked like they had gone crazy.

It would be such an honor if their daughter was married into the Brown family. If these were true, the Wilson family would be respected and looked upon by everyone in New York.

The three of them were so surprised that they were about to go crazy. Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, it didn’t stop them from being happy at all.

“Master, Madam, Master Aren’s assistant, Luke, is here. He said he wants to talk about something with the two of you. He’s waiting outside now.”

The servant, Lianna, rushed in from outside with a happy face.

When Mr. Wilson heard that, he immediately gestured at the servant and shouted happily, “Quick! Hurry up. Invite him in!”

After saying that, he immediately adjusted his clothes and sat upright on the main seat. He couldn’t help but throw a look outside through the corner of his eyes from time to time.

Maria and her mother quickly returned to their seats and pretended to be having their breakfast.

Soon, Luke showed up with a smile and a few invitation cards in his hand.

“Mr and Mrs. Wilson”

Luke nodded at the two people in the room and said, “I came here to complete the task entrusted to me by Master Aren. He told me to deliver the four invitation cards to you, and he also told me to tell you that this banquet is extremely important. He hopes that Mr and Mrs. Wilson will take it seriously and attend! Especially the two ladies. Remember to attend!”

At this point, Luke looked at Maria and Jocelyn meaningfully.

Maria trembled with excitement. Her eyes were filled with surprise.

Jocelyn, on the other hand, remained expressionless as she sat upright in her seat.

Luke smiled and nodded at them politely.

When the Wilson couple saw this scene, they were more convinced that their speculation was right. The two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

“Good, good, good!” Mr. Wilson put the newspaper on the table and said, “The four of us will definitely attend Master Aren’s banquet on time. I hope Mr. Luke can send our regards to Master Aren and Mrs. Brown!”

“Of course!” Luke smiled and nodded before leaving.

Only when Luke returned to the car with a straight face did he reach out to rub his face and sigh. “This is such a tough job. I really don’t know why Young Master insisted on me saying such things to the Wilsons. It’s so tiring!”

He recalled what happened this morning. When he went to Master Aren’s office, he sent him to deliver the banquet invitations and asked him to deliver some words to the Wilsons.

This was really difficult for him!

However… What was Young Master planning to do? He was clueless.

Just as Luke left, Mr. Wilson looked at Maria excitedly, as if he was certain that Maria was going to be Aren’s fiancée.

Mrs. Wilson was so happy that she couldn’t stop herself from smiling.

“Maria, I am really happy today. Now go with your mother to shop for a dress and prepare to attend the boutique. Our family’s prosperity depends on you!” Mr. Wilson said. He sounded surprised and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Maria suddenly stood up from the stool and gasped for air. “It’s really me! Father, Mother! So Young Master Aren’s fiancée is really me! Hahaha, I’m really, truly thrilled. Father, Mother!”

“Yes, It’s you, it’s you!” Mrs. Wilson walked up to Maria and hugged her with a smile, as if she was proud of her.

Mrs. Wilson walked up to Maria and hugged her with a smile, as if she was proud of her.

The three of them were so carried away that they forgot Jocelyn was present, too, and she was invited to the banquet as well..
