Chapter 601 - Hannah's Revenge
After the party, Brandon's parents and Alveena's parents confronted them. The guests already left. They were the only people left inside the venue.
It
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen went home together with FaMo. Andrew, on the other hand, was still waiting outside the venue.
Their parents still couldn't believe how this party ended. No one among them had imagined that Brandon would make such an announcement.
Clifford was also puzzled since he knew how happy Brandon was when Alveena finally agreed with this engagement.
Andrew and Alveena also didn't expect that Brandon would do that. But they were grateful to him.
"What is that all about, Brandon?" His father questioned him with his stern voice.
He was furious since he felt like they were being played by him. They exerted so much effort to host this engagement party for Alveena and Brandon.
They invited their close family friends, the media, business partners, and some prominent people in the City of Empire just for this engagement party.
"Uncle, don't get mad at Brandon. This is my fault," Alveena wanted to defend him.
But Brandon would not allow Alveena to take all the blame.
"Your fault? What do you mean, Alveena?" Mr. Sy asked his daughter.
They had no idea what was happening between these two.
"No, Uncle. This is not Alveena's fault. We both decided about this. You can't force us to marry each other without feelings involved."
"But you told us that you liked Alveena and you wanted to marry her. Why did you suddenly change your mind, Brandon?" His mother joined the conversation.
"Yes, that's true. I like her and I want to marry her. But I did this because I truly care for her.
I don't want her to force herself to marry me. She will not be happy with that."
Their parents fell silent including Alveena.
"Please respect our decision. I hope you will understand. Marriage is not a joke. We should be with someone whom we truly love," Brandon added.
Their parents could only sigh helplessly.
"Alright, we will no longer force you." Mr. Sy finally gave in.
"I feel bad about this but I think my son has a point. We will not argue with you anymore," Brandon's father said, ending the argument.
Brandon and Alveena exchanged glances with each other. They were smiling. Mrs. Sy and Mrs. Cullens also supported their decision.
Their parents went home first, allowing Brandon and Alveena to have some time alone.
"Brandon, thank you. I don't know how I can repay you for this."
Brandon smiled at Alveena faintly. He raised his right hand, touching Alveena's face.
"You can repay me by staying happy. Don't be sad and don't cry anymore, Alvee. I hate seeing you cry."
"I am not the man who easily gives up. But remember this Alvee, I didn't give up on you. I just want to see you happy together with the man you love."
"If ever I see you cry again because of that guy, I swear I will do everything to take you from him."
"Don't worry, Brandon. I will not make her cry again."
Alveena and Brandon turned around. Andrew showed himself and joined them.
Brandon narrowed his eyes on him. He stepped down tonight but it didn't mean he liked Andrew. He still hated him for making Alveena cry.
"Do it through your actions, not by words. If you don't want me to take her away from you, you should cherish her. I will beat you if ever Alveena becomes sad again because of you."
"You don't have to tell me that. I will do it. I will not allow someone to take her away from me. I will protect her heart. This time I will not hurt her."
Brandon could tell that Andrew was sincere.
He just scoffed at him before tapping Andrew's shoulder.
"I will mark your words. Now I am leaving Alveena in your care."
After saying that, Brandon turned to Alveena. He smiled at her tenderly before leaving them.
Alveena immediately pounced on Andrew, hugging him.
"Drew… I am also free now from the arranged marriage. Brandon helped me!" Alveena informed Andrew cheerfully.
"Yeah. I know. I heard and saw everything."
Andrew hugged her back, stroking her hair. He was so glad that everything went well tonight.

~ At Hannah's Residence ~
Hannah kept pacing back and forth across her room. She was holding the Crystaline potion in her hand.
She was already thinking about how she would do her revenge against Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. Because of them, she lost everything including Andrew.
She was still thinking that Tristan was the reason why Andrew broke up with her. She thought Tristan was the one who told Andrew what happened Abroad.
Unknown to her, she was the one who spilled the beans to Andrew. She admitted her actions without realizing it. And now, she was blaming Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
"Tomorrow, I will take my revenge. I will no longer change my mind. They forced me to do this," Hannah mumbled to herself.
She picked up her phone and dialed Andrew's number. But he was not answering. She decided to send him a message.
[ Andrew, I haven't accepted your decision yet. Let's discuss this together with our family tomorrow night. My parents and I will go to Davis Family Mansion. ]
Hannah tightened her grip on her phone after sending her message. She had to come to the Davis Mansion, making sure that Zhen-Zhen would drink the Crystaline Potion.
"Tomorrow, you will also lose everything Tristan… your wife and your child. Tomorrow, the Davis Family will know the real Lillie Davis. You will all regret choosing her."
Hannah was so determined to do her revenge. Her negative emotions forced her to do something evil.
She didn't care anymore if someone would get hurt or die. The only way to make her feel better was to see Tristan and Zhen-Zhen suffer and lose the most precious thing for them.
Her hatred already clouded her mind. Hannah could not distinguish the good and evil.
