I’m Not Willing to Marry, Mr. Han (2)

All the young women present were feeling indignant, especially Ayla Jiang, whose eyes were now filled with grievance. She couldn't understand what Adrienne had that she didn't. It was obvious that she's a far better candidate to become Alistair's wife than her cousin. 

Ayla had always been known for her intelligence, grace, and charm, qualities that she believed made her the perfect match for Alistair. As she watched Adrienne with him, a sense of resentment overwhelmed her. She couldn't fathom why Alistair couldn't see what was so clear to her and everyone else in the room. 

Meanwhile, Abigail could sense the seriousness of the situation Adrienne was in. She naturally knew Adrienne had no intention of marrying Alistair Han, as she was already in a relationship with Lennox. However, declining Alistair Han's proposal before everyone would surely put her in a bad light.
