Chapter 241: Chapter 241

Zachary added, probably worrying that she might misunderstand, "This is all me; it has nothing to do with my parents."

As for the engagement party, his parents had long since let him take the reins.

Yolanda seemed to have a hunch but still asked subconsciously, "What do you mean?"

"That is, on the day of the engagement party, we will invite all our family and friends over, and any close relatives and friends from your side can come too. But as for those distant relatives..."

Zachary hesitated for a moment but finally decided to just say, "Would it be possible for your parents to invite those distant relatives at another time? Would that be okay?"

"Zachary, are you saying our relatives aren’t good enough? Worried they’ll embarrass your family?" Yolanda immediately got a bit miffed.

"Yoli," Zachary wanted to explain but didn’t know how to begin.

She didn’t see how uncouth her rural relatives had been just now. He didn’t even want to remember it a second time!

If his family saw it, not only would he be the laughingstock, but everyone would oppose the marriage! He just didn’t want things to get too awkward.

"If you look down on us Harrisses, Zachary, then you don’t have to worry about my future," Yolanda retorted angrily.

"Yoli, that’s not what I meant!" Zachary tried to explain quietly. "It’s because, just now..."

Everything that had happened was hard to put into words. He didn’t want to embarrass Yoli.

"What happened just now? Did you feel ignored because I took too long in the restroom? Did you think I was deliberately ignoring you? Making you uncomfortable?"

"Of course not!" Zachary got a bit flustered and said, "You should ask your parents!"

Yolanda didn’t understand what had happened, but she had a bad feeling. Did something major happen while she was gone?

After a while, Zachary poured himself a drink and said, "I promised you before, after the engagement party, I would buy you a Porsche. That might have to be put on hold."

What did he mean?

Was he not going to marry her anymore?

Was he not willing to spend the money?

Did he think he was superior?

Did he look down on her?

Those two guys were really good-looking, but she didn’t say it to provoke him or protect his ego.

He didn’t really think he was that great, did he?

Zachary watched her expression turn sour and patiently explained, "I just transferred all my personal savings to your father."

Yolanda was taken aback. What did he mean?

Why did he transfer money to her father?

And so much at once?

Seeing that Zachary didn’t plan to say more, she went to her father, Attlee. After learning the truth, she realized how inappropriate her relatives’ behavior had been.

Meanwhile, David was serving food to Rosemary when his phone vibrated. It was his manager, saying he needed him to come over.

"Rose, I have some things to take care of. You just stay here and eat." David gently patted Rosemary’s head, then turned to Romeo and said, "Take good care of Rose. If she’s not happy..."

He waved his fist, seemingly threatening him: "Watch out, I’ll punch you."

Romeo’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly interested in this threat. He asked, "You think you can beat me?"

David instantly felt insulted. "Don’t underestimate me. Fights aren’t just about the size of your fist, but the strength behind it."

"Oh." Romeo’s grin grew wider.

"I feel like I’m totally being underestimated here!" David grumbled to himself.

"Let me give you a lift home, David."

This proposal lit up David’s eyes, and he looked at Rosemary excitedly. "But you haven’t finished your meal."

"I’m already full."

While David was thrilled, he didn’t forget to warn Romeo, "Don’t you dare follow us!"

Finally, he had a chance to spend some alone time with his sister!

Even if it was just for a little while.

David walked out shoulder to shoulder with Rosemary, looking as pumped as if he’d just won the lottery.

"Rose, is there anything you want to know about the entertainment industry? I can tell you everything I know." David said it indulgently. "Not interested? That’s cool; I can tell you something else."

He chatted with Rosemary about all kinds of celebrity gossip from the moment they stepped into the elevator until they reached the lobby.

Yolanda was about to thank Zachary when she spotted David out of the corner of her eye.

There he was, not wearing sunglasses, with his cap on backward, dressed in trendy clothes, chatting joyfully with a girl. And that girl was Rosemary!

Yolanda’s eyes widened in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It was indeed Rosemary!

"Do you find this funny, hahaha?" David was laughing heartily.

Rosemary was amused by his silliness and nodded, "Yeah, it’s funny."

"Right? I have another funny story to tell you." David began to spill more industry gossip.

Yolanda couldn’t believe it. International superstar David was chatting and laughing with Rosemary so intimately.

Were they dating?

The thought shocked her. She covered her mouth, unable to believe this was real.

Could it be that Rosemary was invited to the dinner because of David?

He was a superstar, and it was common for him to book a whole restaurant.

But what made Rosemary worthy of being with such a perfect man?

Even if she was the founder of LY, she wasn’t qualified!

Yolanda clenched her fists, her eyes reddening with jealousy. Only after they had left did she approach Zachary.

Although Zachary had given $300,000, Yolanda had no interest in his ordinary face. She regretted that she had made her move too soon.

"Zachary, my dad told me what happened. I’m really sorry that my relatives have caused you trouble!"

She bit her lip and said, "I’ll find a way to pay you back those $300,000."

Even though she said this, Yolanda had no intention of repaying the money. She just wanted to leave a good impression on Zachary.

"I can’t possibly take your money. I hope you’re not mad about my earlier proposal. I just wanted to make my relatives like you more."

"I know; I’ve talked to my dad about it. We’ll have separate engagement parties, and those distant relatives will be invited by my dad at another time."

Seeing her say this, Zachary finally smiled.

On the other side, Rosemary had just dropped off David and returned to the private room. Everyone asked her if she wanted to eat anything, but she said she was full and couldn’t eat another bite.

Kenneth and Lucas then started arguing about who should pick up the tab.

"I organized this dinner, so I should be the one to pay!"

"I’m Rose’s uncle; can’t you let me show some generosity? I want Rose to have a good impression of me too!"

"You’ve already given Rose gifts and a bank card; there’s no way we’re letting you pay for this meal."

"Are you being polite to me again? I’m telling you, I must pay for this meal tonight; otherwise, my wife will punish me when I get home!"
