Chapter 516 All the guests were once again taken aback, chiming in: “Absolutely, the event was a smashing success. If anyone asks tomorrow, I'll tell them the donation segment tonight was unforgettable.” “Indeed, the Murphy family are as tight as a drum, and | must spread the word about this.” “Nothing else noteworthy happened, right?” “My memory is stuck at the donation part.” “Shere.” “I've had quite a bit to drink tonight. probably won't remember anything tomorrow.” Erlinda watched as they each tried to cover their own backs and said with a smile, “I won't see you out then.” “Goodbye, Ms. Archer.” “Goodbye.” At this time, screams cfrom the Murphys in the back garden, but the other guests seemed not to hear. They were busy cracking jokes and leaving the front garden without a glance in the direction of the Murphys® trouble! ‘Arabella, is this your fiancé?” Erlinda reached out to shake hands with Romeo, flashing a triumphant smile, “Can't believe this lad is my niece's fiancé!” “Pleased to meet you, Auntie.” “You've got good manners, lad! | don't feel odd when Arabella callsauntie, but somehow, when you callthat, | feel I've aged a few years!” “Auntie, you're as radiant as ever. You've not aged a bit.” “Did you sweet-talk my Arabella into being with you?” Erlinda joked, then turned to Arabella, “I'm looking forward to your wedding.” That was her stamp of approval! “Not so soon.” Arabella didn't reject the idea, which surprised Erlinda.
“We've caused strouble for Ms. Archer tonight.” Kenneth didn’t expect the charity dinner to turn out like this.
“Isn't it because it’s my turf that | could stand up for Arabella? I've been wanting to teach them a lesson, and it’s a relief that the Panter lad beatto it.” “We'll visit again when we get the chance.” Louisa hugged Erlinda warmly, “Feel free to drop by our place too.” “I'll definitely conce | find the time.” Erlinda hugged back, then hugged Arabella.
“Don’t be too hard on those three,” Arabella warned not to kill them.
“Don’t worry, I'll leave them breathing! I'd love to see them go bankrupt, and it'll be fun.” Seeing Erlinda’s excited face, Arabella couldn't help but laugh, “We'll be going now.” “Do visitwhen you have time!” Erlinda couldn't help but nag, “Maybe you could callonce in a while; don't leave it all to me.” “Got it.” “Drive safe on your way back.” As Erlinda saw them at the door, Louisa suddenly said, “Oh, | just remembered | have swork to do. Bella, you go back with Romeo. The chef's not feeling well tonight, and no one prepared supper. You guys can grab something to eat wherever you like.” Arabella was speechless; wasn’t the implication too obvious? Wasn't this just a ploy to let them spend more ttogether, have dinner, and then go home? “I'll take good care of Bella.” Romeo was the first to respond.
