Chapter 2704 - 177: Slipping on the Diamond Ring
After speaking, ignoring Maggie and Stella Brown who were being stopped by security and still trying to plead, Molly Wellington grabbed Abraham Redington’s hand and dragged him directly into the CEO’s office in full view of everyone.
"Bang—" The office door closed in front of everyone.
Even Charles Taylor, who wanted to join in the fun, was mercilessly shut out.
Charles Taylor: "..."
Oh my, it looks like something big is happening, he really wants to watch!

In the office, Molly Wellington pulled Abraham Redington into the room, asking in slight urgency and confusion, "Abraham, what exactly are you doing? Weren’t you always unwilling to take over godfather’s company? Why... why did you suddenly come back to take over the Royal Palace as CEO?"
Molly Wellington’s mind was somewhat messy, particularly chaotic.
Perhaps to outsiders, Abraham Redington’s decision seemed natural and unproblematic.
But Molly Wellington grew up living with the Lucas siblings, and she clearly knew that Brother Charlie and Abraham Redington had no interest in the Royal Palace and were particularly repellent.
Neither of them was willing to take over this empire, which outsiders saw as a goldmine.
Brother Charlie had always liked the military; he had studied at the Military Academy since he was young and grew up to follow a military career.
While Abraham Redington was in business, he only managed the Reddington family empire and stayed away from Lucas family matters.
Of course, Lucas godfather wanted both sons to inherit the family business, but she had heard mother and godmother chat, and godfather promised Brother Charlie and Abraham not to interfere with their future choices.
This promise remains valid to this day.
Godfather never forced Brother Charlie and Abraham to come back.
Molly Wellington once thought that if one day the Lucas family must have a man to inherit, perhaps it would be Brother Charlie, but definitely not Abraham.
Because compared to Jordan Lancaster, Abraham Redington is more rebellious and less likely to compromise easily.
However... everything today was beyond Molly Wellington’s expectations.
She did not expect Abraham Redington to come back and take over the Royal Palace.
This result was even more unbelievable than being told Abraham liked her and wanted to marry her.
"Of course, it’s because of you." Just as Molly Wellington was full of confusion, a low, magnetic voice rang out softly.
Molly Wellington: "You..."
She really must be crazy, otherwise, how could she have this auditory hallucination.
Abraham Redington looked at the woman staring blankly at him, walking towards her step by step.
Molly Wellington instinctively retreated until her heel hit the back of the sofa chair, unable to retreat further, her hand was caught by Abraham Redington.
"This is what you had returned... Why?" The man held her wrist with his left hand, while his right hand, with slender fingertips, showed a shiny diamond ring.
The six-claw cut, dazzling and eye-catching, was precisely that ring, pure in color, with no blemishes, at least ten carats large.
Molly Wellington frowned: "Obviously because I don’t accept... Abraham, it’s inexplicable for you to leave this ring behind, shouldn’t I ask why? I am not related to you, such a large gift, I cannot afford it."
"But I feel that it suits you well." As he spoke, Abraham Redington lifted her left hand, forcefully and domineeringly placing the diamond ring onto her slender left ring finger again.
"There are too many pieces of jewelry that suit me, and I have many more suitable ones at home... I do not want this ring." Molly Wellington stubbornly curled her fingers, refusing to cooperate.
Yet Abraham Redington wouldn’t have it.
He even pulled her soft body into his arms from behind, hugging her in his arms, using a gentle yet tough stance, securely fastening that diamond ring.
"Molly, do I need to explain the reason why I will accept the Royal Palace CEO? Besides you, not even my father can make me bow."
