A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Chapter 1667

Chapter 1667 At Her Complete Mercy

If it was before, Celeste would have raised both hands in favor of Aaron and Nico’s engagement. After all, Nico’s

father was Matthew Nighy, General of the Left. Matthew would definitely help Aaron if they became family.

However, a wave of disgust washed over her when she thought about what had happened that day.

If Aaron marries Nico, will General Matthew help his son-in-law or the woman he slept with? If the queen mother

and Aaron go against each other one day, who will General Matthew side with? The queen mother has already slept

with General Matthew. Why did she insist on asking Aaron to get married to Nico? What is she up to?

Celeste dared not delve into the matter and stopped her train of thought.

“Mother, this is just an expedient measure. When the time comes, I’ll call off the engagement,” Aaron explained.

Fortunately, Nico didn’t want to marry him as well. Otherwise, he would feel guilty for using an innocent young lady

to achieve his goals.

Both he and Nico were incapable of doing anything and could only be sitting ducks.

As Aaron had his plan, Celeste relaxed slightly. She narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought. If the queen

mother dares to lay a hand on Aaron, I shall… A menacing glint appeared in her eyes. Aaron is the most important

person in my life. I can do anything for him. I don’t mind breaking the law!

“I’m glad you know what to do.”

After Aaron left her study, Nancy told Monisha to announce the engagement to the public.

At the Nighy residence, Melissa was delighted to hear the news of the engagement. Finally, her daughter was going

to get married. A weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She was initially worried that Nico was still hung up over

Arielle’s bodyguard, but there was no need to worry about that anymore.

Matthew narrowed his eyes when he learned of the news. In the past, he wouldn’t have been against Nico getting

married to Aaron. In fact, he would have been in favor of it.

However, after he lost control that day, he started suspecting that Nancy had an ulterior motive to order Aaron and

Nico to get married. I should find a chance to ask her about her plan. I need to know why she didn’t inform me

about her decision for them to get married.

Nico immediately rushed home after hearing the news of her engagement. The first thing she did at home was to

find her mother. “Mother, I don’t want to get engaged to Aaron!”

I want to marry Mr. Knightley. There’s no way I can marry Aaron! He may be the king now, but I refuse to marry

him. I want to marry the man I love.

“Nico, stop kicking up a fuss. He’s the king! He’s a great match for you.” Melissa furrowed her brows and stared at

her daughter in exasperation. His Majesty is a great choice. Why is she this stubborn? Why can’t she fall in love with

him?

Nico’s mouth thinned into a stubborn line as a deep line appeared in the middle of her brows. “Mother, His Majesty

is a great man. But no matter how amazing he is, I don’t like him!”

“Nico, you and His Majesty are going to get married. The queen mother has already made the announcement, so

no one can call off the wedding.” Melissa held Nico’s hand. “Even if you don’t like him now, you can grow to love

him after you get married. Love can be developed with time.”

Nico lowered her head despondently. The only man I want to marry is Mr. Knightley. Can’t my wish come true?

Soon, the news of Aaron and Nico’s engagement spread all over the country. Alicia was about to go to lunch at the

campus when she heard about it. Without warning, she blacked out instantly. Fortunately, Marianna was right beside

her. She caught her before she fell to the ground and brought her to the infirmary on campus.

“Alicia, you…” Marianna seemed hesitant after Alicia regained consciousness.
