The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day

Chapter 246: Legitimate and Proper

Many older people nodded along: "That indeed... can be understood."

The younger guests, however, didn’t quite believe it: "Miss Hughes is getting married, and we haven’t heard a whisper of it?"

"Chairman Hughes, don’t just make up a reason to deceive us because of some scandal!"

"Exactly! I heard that Mason Monroe and your Coralie Hughes are cousins."

Evan Hughes laughed heartily and said, "What cousins... Our family and the Zachary Family are quite distantly related. We call that to show closeness. As a father, how could I let those two direct cousins be together?"

The people below were gradually convinced, and even those who had doubts remained silent for the time being.

After all, it’s someone else’s family matter, and it’s not appropriate to openly refute and embarrass Evan Hughes.

Seeing that most people accepted this explanation, Evan Hughes took Mason Monroe’s hand and said, "From tomorrow onwards, Mason will officially become my son-in-law, so please delete the videos on your phones. If I find out anyone is spreading them, I will have to take legal action."

The people who recorded the videos coughed awkwardly and started deleting the videos with their heads down.

No one wanted to get embroiled in such a scandalous affair, especially now that it had become somewhat justifiable.

However, at this moment...

A servant rushed in, holding a sheet of paper, and shouted, "Master! I’ve found out!"

Everyone only noticed the servant, not Damian Knight standing in the shadow by the door.

Only Summer Monroe saw him.

Damian Knight gave her a reassuring look, and Summer Monroe nodded knowingly, a faint smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

The final act was beginning.

The timing was just right.

Evan Hughes, on stage, didn’t respond immediately and asked, "What did you find out?"

The servant, who had already been bought by Damian Knight, raised his voice as if afraid nobody would understand and said, "I found out who caused your stroke."

Evan Hughes instinctively wanted the servant to speak privately, but before he could, the servant waved the paper and said, "The person who bought that black evening dress was none other than the Eldest Miss! She personally went for the black dress and then had the store deliver it directly to the Stanton Family. I’ve brought that store employee and can have them come in to confront!"

The crowd was in an uproar—

"So the Eldest Miss Hughes wanted to frame that person from the Stanton Family and ended up almost killing her own father!"

"Oh my god, don’t say it. I’ve got goosebumps all over. What kind of grudge, what kind of enmity makes you harm someone like this?"

"When a woman becomes ruthless, we men have nothing on them. Here’s some advice: cherish life, stay away from women, stay away from Coralie Hughes!"

Evan Hughes on the stage felt a chill all over, even his hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly.

If this was truly Coralie’s doing, then... doesn’t it mean Coralie was using him, her own father?

If she could use her father, what wouldn’t she do?

Just as Evan Hughes was about to say something, Mason Monroe suddenly shouted, "That’s impossible! Coralie isn’t that kind of person!"

Summer Monroe timely spoke up from below, looking at Mason Monroe with a half-smile, "Cousin, you can see their face but not their heart. The evidence is solid. Why don’t you believe it?"

Mason Monroe fixed his gaze on Summer Monroe and said coldly, "Shut up! You are the most venomous woman!"

Summer Monroe was just about to speak, but Damian Knight, who had been hiding in the corner with no intention of revealing himself, stepped forward.
