< Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Menu Melanie left , leaving everyone puzzled . Neither Winona nor Estelle had expected Melanie , who had been acting out since returning home , to give up such a great engagement . Bethany was also surprised . She thought Melanie would be happy with this arrangement . After all , few girls could resist someone like Warren . He was young , successful , and already in charge of the powerful Fulton family business . Not to mention , Warren was incredibly handsome , truly one in a million . The only downside was his cold and distant personality . Many dreamed of marrying into the Fulton family , but Araceli Fulton had her reservations . Still , the marriage had been arranged years ago between the Fulton and the Rasmussen families . When the Fulton family came to discuss the engagement , Bethany wasn't home . Winona received them . At the time , everyone believed Estelle was the real daughter of the Rasmussen family , so the engagement was settled accordingly . But the engagement was originally meant for Melanie . If she married Warren , Araceli would definitely treat her well . Yet Melanie didn't want it . She acted like she couldn't run away fast enough . Why ? " Since Melanie said she doesn't want this engagement , I'll speak to the Fulton family and finalize Warren and Estelle's engagement as soon as possible , " Winona said quickly , before Bethany could object . Though Bethany didn't want Estelle to replace Melanie and marry Warren , she couldn't refuse . The Rasmussen and Fulton families weren't just in - laws . They had business ties too . Bethany looked displeased . " Handle it , " she said . The thought of Estelle taking what was Melanie's made she lose her appetite . She walked out . The next day , the engagement party was held . Winona moved fast . Right after Bethany gave the order , Winona went straight to Araceli's place in Atlanta and set the date immediately . The Fulton family agreed quickly , scheduling the engagement for noon the next day . Since it was rushed , only close family members attended . The Rasmussen side was larger . Bethany had three sons and two daughters . Just in the main branch , there were five grandchildren , and the extended family added ten more . They set up three tables . 09:27 2.8 % AD Kelly Support genuine reading View now > PG I , the princess of the Mafia empire , now hides like a stray dog . < Chapter 6 The Fulton side was simpler . Besides Araceli and Nikolas Fulton , only Warren's parents and Warren himself were present . The rest of the family was in Chicago . The Fulton family was wealthy and influential . It wasn't practical for everyone to drop everything and attend . Before the party began , the Fulton family hadn't arrived yet . Simon glanced at Melanie , who was chatting with Evander nearby , and walked over with a serious expression . Menu " Melanie , let me remind you . You're the one who gave up this engagement . When the Fulton family arrives , sit properly and don't cause trouble , " he said sternly . " Got it ? " Melanie lounged in her chair , her cool gaze fixed on Simon , a mocking smile on her lips . " Mr . Rasmussen , did you forget the pain already ? " " You ! " Simon looked annoyed . " I'm warning you . If you cause trouble , don't blame me for being rude . " Melanie sat up and reached for her glass . Evander quickly stopped her . " Calm down . He does deserve a punch , but wait until today is over . Don't embarrass Grandma . " Bethany and Araceli were close friends . Today was important for both families . If Melanie beat up Simon here , it would reflect badly on Bethany . Melanie paused and then slowly put the glass down . " Since I'm in a good mood , get lost . " She really was in a good mood . Her ex - boyfriend , who had been bothering her for two months , was finally getting engaged . She was finally free . But Simon just provoked her . Anyway , she was in a good mood , so she let it go . " So rude , " Simon muttered . He knew Melanie's temper . She'd fight at the drop of a hat . He'd already been hit by her twice . If it weren't for Estelle , he wouldn't go near Melanie . He walked away and sat back down . A while later , the Fulton family arrived . Araceli and Bethany chatted for a bit . Then they sat together like old friends , holding hands . Melanie glanced at the door and froze . Why wasn't Warren here ? Wasn't today his engagement ? Was he planning to run away ? Melanie started to panic . If Warren ran away , he'd just keep bothering her . No way ! 09:27 2.8 % AD Kelly Support genuine reading View now > PGI 1 , the princess of the Mafia empire , now hides like a stray dog . 3 < Chapter 6 She had to make sure Warren showed up. She picked up her phone to call , but Bethany asked , " Why isn't Warren here ? " Winona and Estelle looked nervously at Araceli . Estelle , especially , was fidgeting with her hands . She was afraid Warren would call off the engagement . After all , this engagement wasn't meant for her . Menu " Don't even mention it . No one knows where he is . We can't find him , " Araceli said , rubbing her forehead . " But it's fine . The engagement will go on . I arranged this engagement myself . Estelle is the only one marrying him . I won't accept anyone else . " Melanie quietly put her phone away . As long as the engagement happened , that was enough . Estelle also breathed a sigh of relief . As long as the engagement happened , that was enough . As long as they got engaged , even if Warren didn't want to , he'd still be her fiancé . Just thinking about becoming the fiancée of the man she'd liked for years made her heart race . The engagement was simple , but all the traditional steps were followed . The Fulton family gave the Rasmussen family the agreed - upon betrothal gift , 770,000 dollars . In a family like the Fulton family , the betrothal gift was usually over millions . But because of Bethany and Araceli's close relationship , the betrothal gift was just a symbolic gesture . Bethany had requested this amount . The rest of the family had no say . Winona wasn't happy with the amount . She thought it was too low . Alberto didn't care . He didn't want to profit from the betrothal gift . The Rasmussen family wasn't as powerful as the Fulton family , but they were still well - known in Atlanta . He didn't like Estelle , but he didn't want people saying he gained profit from her marriage . So both families were satisfied with the arrangement. They also discussed jewelry and the wedding date , all decided by the elders . Once everything was settled , the ceremony began . Since Warren wasn't there , Araceli stood in for him . Just as the ceremony was about to start , the hotel door was kicked open . Everyone's face fell . Who would dare cause trouble at their engagement party ?
