Chapter 3 I'm Your Fiancé

• "You're Alice?" Robin pushed through the gathering crowd and took a good look at Alice.
• Alice frowned, struggling to understand the intentions of this unfamiliar person, and responded coolly, "Who are you?
• "This is the Miller Group's New Year's party. How dare you make a scene here!
• "I suggest you leave now before you really upset the Millers!"
• Robin was momentarily surprised. She seems quite assertive, but there's something compelling about her icy attitude.
• "Alice, I'm your fiancé. I've come to honor our engagement today. So, when can we go to City Hall to finalize the marriage?"
• Laughter erupted throughout the previously silent hall.
• This guy is seriously amusing.
• "What are you talking about? If you keep making absurd claims here, I'll kick you out!" Alice retorted sharply.
• A man standing next to her stepped forward and declared sternly, "Who is this fool? How dare he sully Alice's reputation!"
• "Step aside!" Robin pushed past the man and moved closer to Alice.
• "Alice, I really am your fiancé. Here's the marriage contract that my grandfather and your grandfather signed."
• Robin presented a yellowed parchment to Alice.
• The guests at the party gasped in astonishment.
• "Wow! A marriage contract?"
• "This guy has some nerve. He must be desperate!"
• "Trying to attach himself to a powerful family with such an outdated approach?"
• Alice's eyes narrowed as she examined the contract in Robin's hand.
• She could feel her hands trembling slightly.
• The handwriting and signature were unmistakably her grandfather's!
• Zachary Gill, the man beside Alice, scrutinized the old paper with a shift in his expression.
• A scruffy kid daring to compete for a woman with me?
• He must be out of his mind!
• "A marriage contract? Do you really think such an antiquated document has any relevance in today's world?"
• "Haha, kid, do you think you can deceive Alice with a fake marriage contract?"
• Zachary gestured to a few of the Gills' bodyguards. "Throw him out!"
• "Wait, Mr. Gill!" Alice interjected, taking the contract from Robin.
• She examined it carefully, her brow furrowing in concentration.
• She had indeed heard from her grandfather about an engagement.
• She hadn't believed it was real!
• Looking at Robin, he didn't appear wealthy or influential at all.
• "What do you do for a living? Where's your family?" Alice inquired and probed.
• Robin shrugged. "I'm currently unemployed. My family is probably no longer around."
• Laughter and derisive comments filled the hall. "A jobless drifter, huh? Haha ... "
• Alice's eyes flashed with disdain.
• How could a man like this, from the lower echelons of society, ever be worthy of me, Alice!
• I'm destined to be a queen-like figure, akin to Daphne West from Alphacrest Group!
• "This talk of marriage contracts is pure nonsense!"
• A middle-aged man stepped forward to stand in front of Alice. He spoke harshly.
• "Kid, get out of here immediately. We don't welcome you!"
• This man was Alice's father, Jeffrey Miller.
• "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Miller!" Zachary greeted them with a friendly smile.
• Jeffrey's wife, Juliet Miller, returned the smile with genuine warmth. "Oh, Mr. Gill, I'm so sorry you had to see this."
• Her pleasant expression quickly faded as she shifted her gaze sharply toward Robin. "A marriage contract? How dare you try to fool us!"
• "Do you even know your position? Do you think you're good enough for my daughter?"
