Chapter 17 Mismatch
At that moment, disdain washed over Alexander. Despite how he felt, he raised his
brows and smiled before answering, “He’s the general manager at the headquarters.”
He was utterly displeased when he said that. “Julian only became the general manager
of the headquarters. because Grandpa thinks he’s the rightful heir. It’s okay, though.
Nothing is certain yet. We’ll see who’s the one ending up at the top in due time.
Although Grandpa is supporting Julian, he’s getting old now. I bet he doesn’t have much
time left on earth. On the other hand, not only do I have Dad’s support, but I also have a
lot of supporters in the Parks family. Judging by the current situation, Julian made a
grave mistake when he married a country bumpkin like Annalise impulsively, just to
regain his pride,” he thought.
At the same time, Abigail was thinking to herself, “Still, Julian is much more incredible.”
Despite her thoughts, she smiled and said in awe, “Alexander, you’re so impressive!”
“Do you really think so?” Alexander blinked his alluring eyes and smiled at Abigail.
“Of course!” Abigail answered in a sincere manner.
“Abigail, I’ve actually fallen for you ever since the first time I met you. Will you marry
me?” Alexander gazed at her affectionately.
The sudden confession of love made Abigail overjoyed. Her lips curled up
subconsciously.
“Did the third son of the Parks family of Jadeborough just propose to me? He’s the
manager of a branch office in Parks Group! Indeed, he’s so much better than
Benjamin,” Abigail pondered.
However, if she were to take her pick, she was more interested in marrying Julian.
“Although Alexander is handsome and capable, he’s still no match for Julian. Julian’s
charm and elegance are to die for! Plus, his cool and indifferent demeanor makes me
just want to conquer him and make him fall for me. Also, Julian had chosen to be with a
girl like Annalise. How can I possibly let Annalise marry someone greater than the man
I’m marrying? Hence, by hook or by crook, I have to snatch Julian away from her.
However, I can’t afford to reject Alexander now because he can serve as a backup, and

frankly, he’s a superb backup option. Just in case I can’t be with Julian in the end, I can
always marry Alexander because, after all, he’s into me,” she thought.
With those thoughts in her mind, she acted surprised and glanced at Alexander
affectionately. “Me? Is that okay? But you’re from the Parks family. Unlike you, I’m a
nobody.”
“Abigail, you’re an amazing woman. You’re so amazing that I’d push myself even harder
in the future because otherwise, I might think that I’m not good enough for you,” replied
Alexander.
Abigail bit her lower lip and uttered shyly, “I’m not as amazing as you think I am, am I?”
“You are!”
“You’re so kind, Alexander. How about this? Come and have dinner at my house
tomorrow so that you can tell my parents about it,” suggested Abigail.
“Are you saying that you’ve agreed?” Alexander was shocked.
Still behaving shyly, Abigail suggested, “Yes. Since this is a matter of importance,
perhaps you should bring Old Mr. Parks along with you. Oh, wait. Old Mr. Parks has
already gone back to Jadeborough, hasn’t he? How about you get your brother to come
over instead?”
“Okay!” Alexander agreed.
Right then, Abigail’s eyes sparkled with delight when she achieved her goal.
The next day, Alexander asked Julian to accompany him for dinner at the Barton
residence.
Julian agreed without hesitation and said, “Sure.” He thought, “That’ll work! I’ll invite
Annalise to a movie after dinner. Also, I can tell her that I’ve already gone through all
the materials, and she can now regain the shares her mother left for her. After that,
she’ll become the chairman of Moonlight Group straight away.”
Alexander didn’t expect that Julian would agree to it. He flashed a half-smile and asked,
“Why did you agree so willingly?”
“That doesn’t concern you. It’s just that there’s someone I’d like to see in the Barton
family!”
In response, Alexander just slightly raised his brows without getting mad.
That night, the brothers didn’t set out together.
Julian only headed toward the Barton residence at around five in the evening.
As for Alexander, he left at three in the afternoon. Before he set out for the Barton
residence, he went to the airport to fetch someone first.
Tony Parks, their father, had arrived that day.
Since Julian wasn’t close with Tony, he never bothered about Tony’s whereabouts. At
the same time, Tony never contacted Julian too.
At six in the evening, Julian saw Tony and Kent talking about the marriage between
both families the moment he set foot in the living room of the Barton residence.
When Julian arrived, he heard Tony saying, “My dad has told me about the marriages
between our families, and I’m very glad about it. Although I have no objections
regarding the marriage between Alexander and Abigail, I don’t approve of the marriage
between Annalise and Julian.”
“Is your approval relevant?” Julian’s expression was grim. “Since when did he have a
say in my personal matters? He has never cared about me ever since I turned seven.
Grandpa was the one who raised me. What makes him think he has the right to meddle
with my life now?” he wondered.
“I’m your father!” Tony thundered and thought, “What a bastard! Not only does he
disrespect me at home, but he’s also disrespecting me in front of others.”
“I don’t have a father!” Julian retorted coldly.
“Y-You…”
