5 Chapter 5: Why Are You So Nervous? (1/2)
Khloe hadn't expected Kylie to come to the party. But what was bothering her most, was that she came accompanied by such an amazing man!
Khloe stared at Lord P., and Aiden sensed how she felt for him. He sneered at Kylie.
”Kylie, this man must be some actor you hired. I know you want to ruin my engagement party, but don't forget that everyone here knows who you really are!”
Aiden tried to convince himself that this man wasn't from a rich family. There weren't too many big wealthy families in Seattle that he didn't know. Plus, he couldn't believe that man could afford a Knight XV.
After hearing those words, Khloe finally stopped looking at Lord P. with great admiration. Instead, she felt sorry for Kylie. ”Sister, you can hit me if you hate me. But please don't ruin your reputation...It could damage your career...”
Then she really cried.
But Kylie smiled with great happiness. ”He may be an actor to you, but he's the one I love most. And you...”
She shook her head. ”Since you just proposed to Khloe, why do you even care who I'm with? Do you want both of us?”
Her question made Aiden so embarrassed. He was furious about being humiliated. He raised his hands to call security: ”Take these two away.”
Elliot, one of the guards, was about to step forward when someone loudly announced: ”Mr. Parker is here.”
Matthew Parker was about fifty years old and looked amazing for his age. His wife, Taylor, and their daughter, Nicole, were standing next to him.
After seeing his father, Aiden became more confident and quickly walked towards Matthew Parker.
He stood up straight. ”Dad, Kylie Finch brought a man to destroy my engagement party.”
When he heard Kylie Finch's name, Matthew's face darkened.
As a businessman, he only cared about profit. Khloe Finch was her father's favorite and obvious inheritor, so Matthew had agreed to this engagement.
But Kylie Finch had loved Aiden for five years, and every rich family in Seattle knew about it.
So the Parker family really owed Kylie an apology, and Matthew knew this. His eyebrow twitched, and he turned his head around. But when he saw the man standing beside Kylie, he froze in place.
Aiden sneered and pointed at Lord P. ”Dad, and it's him. He's the actor hired by Kylie.”
”Shut up!” Matthew Parker raised his voice, and it frightened Aiden. But Aiden continued to say: ”It's him...”
When Matthew Parker approached them, Kylie stood in front of Mr. P and stretched out her arms. No matter who he was or whether he was a friend or an enemy, she's the one who had put him in that situation, and she wouldn't allow anything bad to happen to him.
After seeing how protective she was, Lord P.'s eyes darkened. He wanted to push her aside, but she refused to move.
”You should blame me for this.” Kylie stretched her arms out further, like a protective mother.
”Move.” Matthew Parker sounded angry.
”No,” Kylie said with certainty. ”He's with me. Please don't hurt him.”
Even though Lord P. looked like he might be a good fighter, he one alone against all the Parkers and Matthew wanted to push Kylie out of the way, but when he glimpsed Lord P.'s eyes, he put his hands down.
”Aiden,” Matthew instructed.
On hearing his name, Aiden immediately went to his side. He stared at Kylie and said: ”Dad, today is a big day for me. Let the guards kick them out.”
