Chapter 61
It was obvious what this kind of treatment meant.
“Mom, Manny, let’s go!”
Unable to stand it, Roselynn wanted to leave even
before sitting down.
Although the Zimmermans would be paying for the
dinner, she could not care less about it after receiving
such treatment.
Alessandra grabbed her arm to prevent her from
losing her temper.
Even though her family and the Zimmerman family
were not related by blood, the fact that they could find
the same matchmaker indicated a connection
between them. Besides, they lived near each other, so
it was better to have one more friend than one more
enemy.
Milani shot Emmanuel a smug look.
Melody and Jacob also looked at him. Why is he still
here? He must still want to marry Milani. Haha. We
enjoy watching people who don’t know their place
make a fool of themselves.
Right then, another man in a fancy suit walked in.
Milani immediately went up to him and gently held his
arm.
Her relatives in the room were surprised by the sight.
Alessandra was also stunned. I didn’t expect Milani to
get a man so soon.
“Milani, is he your boyfriend?”
“Yeah, who is he?”
Milani, who had anticipated such responses from her
relatives, gave Emmanuel a triumphant glare before
introducing the man to them in a pretentiously shy
manner.
“Well, let me introduce him to you. This is my best
friend, Darren Chase. He’s also my boyfriend–to–be I’m
currently getting to know. He’s a doctor specializing in
internal medicine at Beacon Hospital with an annual
income of more than three hundred thousand. His
uncle is the deputy director of the hospital, while his
dad is a businessman. I heard that he owns assets
worth more than tens of millions!”
Whoa!
All the relatives of the Zimmerman family went wild
upon hearing that.
Frowning hard, Emmanuel looked at Darren and
wondered if he was the reason why Alessandra was
kicked out of the ward the other day.
Darren did not even spare Emmanuel a glance since
he arrived.
In his opinion, Emmanuel could not be compared to
him. Why should I show him respect when his position
in the hospital is lower than that of mine, and his
family is also far worse off than mine?
“Dr. Chase, you’re such a promising young man!”
“I agree. Your medical skills must be very good since
you became an attending physician at the age of
thirty.”
“Congratulations, Milani. You’ve found such an
excellent boyfriend! His qualities are simply
incomparable to those men you met through blind
dates before!”
Milani’s relatives started showering her and Darren
with flattery. They had already considered Darren as Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
her man despite her claim that they had just started
dating.
Jacob and Melody, who were also being buttered up,
grew arrogant. They kept looking at Emmanuel and his
family while laughing.
Alessandra and Roselynn felt extremely awkward and
embarrassed as if they were being executed publicly.
Only then did they realize that the Zimmermans had
invited them over to embarrass them and Emmanuel
on purpose.
Emmanuel remained expressionless the entire time as
he watched Milani put on the show in silence.
Compared with Mackenzie, Darren is definitely not as
good. Neither is Milani. But I don’t bother to compete
with Milani. I’ve never thought of showing off my wife!
“By the way, Milani, I heard that you’re getting a
promotion and pay rise tomorrow, aren’t you? Coupled
with the bonus of three hundred thousand, will your
income be more than one million this year?” Jacob
deliberately asked to elevate Milani’s status.
All the relatives of the Zimmerman family gasped in
shock upon hearing his words.
“Congratulations, Milani! You’re so capable!”
“That’s right. You’re making millions a year even though
you’re only twenty–five years old. How impressive!
You’ve done your family proud!”
–
“You and Dr. Chase are both social elites, which makes
you a match made in heaven!”
“This makes me wonder why a man with an annual
salary of eighty thousand would dare to go on a blind
date with you previously.”
