Chapter 391 Engaged in Advance

Chapter 391 Engaged in Advance

There are rumors that Natalia is one of Quinn's substitutes!

"I'm here mainly for your engagement, and also for an event that you'll attend with me."

Any event that Natalia would personally attend with Oscar accompanying her must be quite extraordinary.

"Okay, got it. I've arranged everything at the hotel. If Ms. Ruth needs anything, just contact my secretary."

From the moment Faye saw Natalia, the sparkle in her eyes never dimmed!

This was Queen Natalia, who had won the fashion world's crown multiple times!

Many of her designs were true classics and had become unmatched milestones!

Faye said excitedly, "Ms. Ruth, if you need anything, just come to me! Your loyal butler, Shen, is here to serve you!"

Natalia laughed heartily and had Oscar, who was behind her, carry her luggage upstairs.

Catherine introduced, "Ms. Ruth, we've arranged an ocean-view room for you, and your meals will include your favorite dishes."

"Catherine, you're so thoughtful!"

Opening the door, she saw that in the spacious suite, even the bedding had been changed to Natalia's favorite patterns and fabrics. On the nightstand sat exquisite jade carvings that were clearly Catherine's own handiwork.

Natalia's love for jade carvings wasn't a secret in the industry.
Watching Natalia lovingly hold those jade carvings, Catherine smiled softly.

"I didn't send you a birthday gift, but I had it all prepared. Perfect timing to give it to you now."

"You really care about me!"

Only Catherine would remember each person's preferences and send various gifts every year!

To them, what mattered wasn't the value of the items, but the warmth of being remembered!

Natalia touched the silk quilt, "Is this our own product?"

"Yes, we just developed new silk. I wanted you to try it first. The embroidery on it is from Quinn Couture."

Natalia understood - this meant Catherine had embroidered it herself!

"You're always so thoughtful. Actually, I do have other business this time."

Oscar explained, "Natalia was worried about you being here alone, and those men are all so reckless. She also wants to help clean up those old-timers from the previous generation."

Natalia knew best who from the old Galactic Aurora Collective was still alive!

Catherine pressed her lips together, "Ms. Ruth, who exactly was the person who allowed the Galactic Aurora Collective plan to exist?"

"Of course, it was some powerful lunatic. Anyone who could work with Franklin wouldn't be simple, right? I'm here partly to meet with him. Although Galactic Aurora Collective is in your hands now, I still need to clean things up for you."

"As for who it is, haven't you wondered why your Galactic Aurora Collective only has twenty-four members?"

Galactic Aurora Collective was named after twenty-eight stars. The remaining four were people who sided with Franklin!

The person who signed off on the Galactic Aurora Collective plan naturally became a member of the Galactic Aurora Collective.
Natalia pulled her shawl closer, elegant and refined.
"That person's former codename was Seven Kills!"

Bright Heal Hospital.

Outside Felix's room, a well-dressed woman hurried over with several children.

After receiving the news, Alexander's aunt Yasmin Pearl brought her family back to Imperia City.

After the long journey, Yasmin's face showed unstoppable worry.

A young woman behind her looked around, her eyes full of excitement.

Finally, another chance to see Alexander!

Despite being his real aunt, Yasmin and Alexander weren't particularly close. They barely kept in touch throughout the year, and she rarely had a chance to see Alexander...

This time, it was only because Felix was seriously ill that Thora, as the niece of Yasmin's husband, had the chance to come to the Howard family!

Yasmin had no mind to notice her thoughts. Looking at Arabella, tears rolled down before she could speak!

"Mom..."

"It's okay, it's good you're back."

Yasmin had taken Arabella's surname Pearl. The mother and daughter weren't particularly close, but faced with this situation, Yasmin still wanted to cry!

"My dad, how much longer does he have?"

"Less than a month. Marcus is with him talking now. Since you're back too, we're planning to hold Catherine and Alexander's engagement party in the next few days. At least it will make his final days happier."

Felix's biggest concern was Alexander's marriage.

Yasmin hesitated, "But isn't this a bit unfair to Catherine?"

After all, an engagement was a happy occasion. If it was because of Felix's condition, it might cast a shadow over the good event.

"This is Marcus's idea, to let Felix go without regrets. Catherine is reasonable and has agreed."

For Catherine, she chose to get engaged to Alexander. As long as it was with Alexander, the timing didn't matter!

If it could make Felix happy in his final days, then it would be worth it.

Yasmin nodded, lowering her head and turning to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"Okay, Catherine is really being put through a lot. The Windsor family has done us a great favor."

Without the Windsor family, the Howard family wouldn't have had the chance to get such a wonderful granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law!

Behind Yasmin, Thora felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

She hadn't even had a chance to see Alexander, and he was already getting engaged to another woman?

And to Catherine, who only knew how to make a scene!
What was so great about the Windsor family besides their money?
If Alexander knew that Catherine had abused her privileges at Quinn Couture's store and insulted Quinn's designs as soulless, he definitely wouldn't tolerate marrying such a woman!

Thora's heart ached.

Then she thought that there would soon be several major events in the fashion world. With the Howard family's status, they would definitely attend.

If she could find Quinn at the event and tell her these things, the marriage between the Windsor family and Alexander would definitely fall through!

Thora became anxious and left the hospital with an excuse.

Arabella watched her leave, "Thora's family hasn't been doing well lately."

Yasmin's husband and Thora's family were relatives. The White family's business had recently undergone major upheaval, causing quite a storm.

To protect Thora, her family had sent her to stay with Yasmin.

"She's just a kid. If you don't like her, Mom, I'll send her back. There has been a lot going on at home lately, and I don't have time to look after her."

"No need, let them be."

Arabella couldn't be bothered to fuss over a child.

At the hospital entrance, a Cullinan was parked by the roadside. The door opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out.

Even in a business-style suit, Alexander's upright posture and handsome features made him stand out brilliantly in the crowd!

Thora's eyes lit up!

Just as she was about to approach, she saw Alexander bend down, reach into the car, and help a girl in a white dress step out.

The well-tailored dress showed off Catherine's slender, graceful figure, her waist soft and delicate like a willow branch swaying in the wind.

It was Catherine!

Remembering her argument with Catherine at the Quinn Couture store, Thora felt uncomfortable all over!

Before her anger subsided, Thora received a call from an unknown number.

Lyra's tearful voice came through.

"Thora, please save me. I'm at the police station. Please find someone to help me..."
