Aggresive Wife

Chapter 449

CHAPTER 449 NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL

Since Annalise's engagement had been made public on Quinton Corporation's website, the three Solace brothers suspected Noah of having an evil plan. They all knew how much Noah adored Madeline and detested Annalise.

Furthermore, given Noah's accomplishments to date, it would be impossible for him to jeopardize his marriage for profit.

When they learned of the news, they were vehemently opposed to the match, but Annalise, as if she had been spellbound, was dead set on marrying Noah no matter what.

Steve had no choice but to agree to the marriage after she threw tantrums and threatened to kill herself in front of him.

After all, he was the one who had made the engagement contract with Gordon in the first place, so he saw nothing wrong with fulfilling it now that their children were grown. He just didn't like that Noah had previously married and had three children.

However, Steve's previous reservations were likely dispelled after witnessing the engagement ceremony today.

As long as Noah genuinely liked and valued Annalise, nothing else mattered to Steve.

The lavishness of the engagement party today was evidence that Annalise held a special place in Noah's heart.

Annalise was truly delighted by the impressive scene, especially since, upon her arrival, the men's attention had been drawn to her while the women either admired or envied her. She felt that this was the kind of life she deserved, one in which she was surrounded by admirers in the same way that the stars surrounded the moon.

"Congratulations, Ms. Solace. Like Romeo and Juliet, you and Mr. Quincy are a match made in heaven." A wealthy woman approached Annalise and congratulated her.

"Thank you," Annalise said with a graceful nod.

As soon as one person began to congratulate Annalise, a flood of others followed suit. With various compliments and flattery coming her way, she was overwhelmed with joy.

"Ms. Solace is particularly lovely today. You have outshone all the other renowned ladies."

Although the words seemed complimentary to Annalise, they had earned her the scorn of several young celebrities, who looked at her contemptuously and left without congratulating her.

However, Annalise was unaware of this, as she was still reveling in the joy of being sought after.

It wasn't that she hadn't been sought after by others before, but this time it felt different. Not only were her admirers of higher status, but they had lavished her with compliments alongside Noah. How could she not be giddy with joy?


"Ms. Solace, is that necklace you're wearing from Xenium's latest collection? I heard it's worth over fifty million," asked a girl as she gazed enviously at Annalise's diamond necklace.

After those words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately directed toward the jewelry Annalise wore that day.

They all knew that her dress was a limited edition piece from a specific luxury brand with a price tag of several million dollars.

The diamond necklace was even more dazzling, lending Annalise the appearance of a woman bedecked with jewels.

In addition to the diamond necklace, Annalise wore other accessories such as earrings, bracelets, and rings. Just by glancing at them, it was evident that they were exorbitantly expensive.

"These were all prepared by Mr. Quincy. It was his heartfelt gesture. I don't believe they can be measured in terms of money," Annalise attempted to conceal the smugness on her face.

The others quickly agreed, echoing with a resounding yes.

After Annalise left, the group of prominent ladies looked at her with disdain as if she were a peacock flaunting its feathers—proud, arrogant, and condescending. They then proceeded to mock and ridicule her.

"Despite being a Solace family member, she acted like a country bumpkin who had never left her house. Was she so eager to show off all of her jewelry?"

"Don't you know? She was found by the Solace family after she had already grown up. Maybe she used to be a country bumpkin before?"

"No wonder she didn't seem to have the makings of the Solace family's three young masters. What do you think Mr. Quincy saw in her, and why did he throw her such a lavish engagement party?"

"You think this party is for her? Have you ever seen a more understated engagement party?"

Only when that was mentioned did everyone notice the oddity of today's engagement party. The bride-to-be didn't make a grand entrance and wasn't accompanied by the future husband in loving affection. Annalise had entered the venue just like any other regular guest.

This event was more of an introduction of Noah's children to society than an engagement party.

After all, Noah made sure to introduce his sons and daughter, who had just returned, while welcoming and mingling with the guests. He spoke lovingly and affectionately about his children but never mentioned Annalise.

All the distinguished ladies exchanged knowing looks and waited for Annalise to make a fool of herself.

All at once, everyone's attention was drawn to the entrance where a figure had appeared. Even the affluent women who had expressed discontent about Annalise rose from their seats and turned to see who it was.

Madeline, dressed in a light blue dress, appeared at the banquet hall's entrance at that moment. Her pure and refined face resembled a fairy, and her graceful figure was dressed in a silky dress embellished with faintly sparkling diamonds. People couldn't take their eyes off her. The onlookers were so entranced that they even forgot to breathe, mesmerized by the swaying hem of her dress.

Everyone subconsciously compared her to Annalise, who had just made an appearance, and the general consensus was that her beauty seemed to be the result of artificial enhancement. Despite this, she still appeared beautiful, albeit somewhat lacking in refinement. In contrast, the other person's beauty seemed completely natural and flawless, leaving no room for any imperfections.
