When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1924 You Are Far Too Kind

Alec's brother, Allen Leighton, was a married man, and it was common knowledge among the upper echelons of Tudela.

If Miranda were to publicly suggest him as a potential match for Chelsea, it would undoubtedly cause embarrassment for herself.

Kingston and Phoebe would certainly not approve of the marriage between the two families either.

Miranda planned to keep them in the dark for the time being. If Chelsea and Allen spent time together, there was a possibility she might develop feelings for him.

In both intellect and appearance, Allen was undeniably exceptional.

His only misfortune was marrying a woman of ordinary background and one who couldn't bear children.

"You mischievous girl, playing coy even as a matchmaker."

"Aunt Phoebe, please don't be upset," Miranda said with a charming smile. "I just thought it would be good for them to get to know each other first, maybe even become friends. If things don't work out, it's no big deal, right?"

Phoebe found herself momentarily speechless.

"Absolutely, you're right about that," she said with a lighthearted laugh. "If you truly manage to find a good match for Chelsea, I'll be forever grateful."

"Then it's settled."

As the two chatted and laughed, Chelsea, standing off to the side, wore an increasingly displeased expression.

With Miranda taking the lead, the other wealthy women followed suit, eagerly introducing potential suitors to Phoebe.

It became painfully clear to Chelsea that her parents' determination to see her married was unyielding.

With the crowd growing, Phoebe eventually lost track of her.

Chelsea quickly slipped away, hurrying off to find Cecilia and the others.

Meanwhile, in the private room, the group had been waiting for quite some time. With Chelsea nowhere in sight, they decided to head downstairs and explore. Inside the exhibition hall on the ground floor, an array of antiques was on display. Cecilia and Charlotte were together, examining the antiques.

Every antique was a treasure in its own right, and security guards were stationed nearby to prevent people from taking pictures.

"Boss, these antiques look incredibly valuable." Charlotte had quite an eye- opening experience that day. "Chelsea's family is indeed loaded."

She had previously felt embarrassed to accept such expensive gifts. But seeing the sheer extent of Chelsea's wealth made those gifts seem utterly insignificant in comparison.

"Yeah," Cecilia agreed.

"Ceci, you're here too." Just then, a voice called out.

Cecilia turned and saw Miranda standing nearby.

With a smile that hinted at hidden motives, Miranda asked, "See anything you like among these antiques?"

She spoke with an air of familiarity as if she and Cecilia had known each other for years.

"I heard you saved Aunt Phoebe's daughter," Miranda added. "If there's an antique that catches your eye, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to gift it to you."

Cecilia found her words to be utterly baffling.

Miranda was behaving as if she were the host.

“Miranda, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were being incredibly generous with these gifts yourself," Cecilia replied coolly.

Miranda's expression stiffened.

At that moment, another voice cut through the air.

"Miranda, you're far too kind. Why bother entertaining some pretentious b*tch?" Pretentious b*tch?

Cecilia turned to see a woman dressed extravagantly. She was decked out in jewelry as if she

wished to wear every piece she

owned. She walked with an air

superiority as if she viewed everyone else as beneath her.

Cecilia immediately recognized her-Isabelle Bates, the daughter of the Bates

family and a close friend of Miranda.

"Isabelle, what are you saying?" Miranda feigned embarrassment.

Isabelle stepped forward and raised her voice. "Miranda, you might be afraid of her, but I'm certainly not. The Bates family, Imminencenoveldrama
