"Hilda, what's going on? Did the M. C mistake the name? "she inquired with a croaky tone. Hilda sipped from her juice before she turned to her, "There's no way the M. C will mistake the names, honey! This is an important occasion, and it'll benefit both family, so... I don't think anything's wrong with it. "
"No, Hilda. You said it yourself that you don't want to marry for profits, but for love, so... why this all of a sudden? You love Frank Cooper a lot, won't you be heartbroken? "Amy asked in a rush with trembling fingers. She clenched her fists into tight balls with her nails dug deep into her skin.
"Frank Cooper? I don't remember loving him like you claimed! "Hilda replied, and Amy's br0ws twitch as they knot in a furrow. "Wh-what do you mean by that? "with shaky breath, Frank Cooper asked from behind.
Amy glanced at the direction while Hilda remained nonchalant. She took her glass juice, and made to drink it, but was slapped away from her, and it collude with the marble-tiled floor with loud shatters.
Everyone's attention is now on them. The stand-men rushed forward, but Hilda raised her hand which made them all halt. She gazed up, and her eyes met with that of Pamela Cooper. With a broad smile, she called,
"Ex-mother-in-law! "Pamela huff out a scoff, and raised her hand up as they swing to the side, and came in contact with Hilda's cheek. The audience all gasped loudly, their eyes widened in shock. Hilda spat out the hair that got stuck in between her lips, and brush her hair sideways.
She chuckled dryly, the corner of her lip curled up. She stepped backward a little, her fists clenched into tight balls, and in a swift movements, with an act like that of a lightening speed, her tightly folded fists met with Pamela's cheek!
The audience all gasped loudly with widen eyes, their palms immediately covering up their mouth. "You've got a crazy daughter-in-law right there! "Thelma Reynolds teased her shocked mother. The latter was too stunned to even react, not to talk of speak.
Amy, and Frank's eyes widened as they immediately stepped backwards. Pamela saw the stars in lithosphere as she felt her cheek drained off blood. Her jaw dropped as she felt blood run back there, and as she glanced down, two of her corner tooth dropped to the ground.
"Anyone that attempts to cause an hinderance to the engagement party should be heartlessly dealt with! "Hilda ordered as she flip her hair backwards before exiting the hall.
She reached her suite, and her lips curled up in a broad smile. She swing her hands up in the air as she jumped around the room with loud cackle. Today couldn't have been any better for her. She gaze up at her fist, then, brought it down to her lips as she planted kisses on it happily.

The engagement party went great, and the guest were pleasured to their satisfaction. Many years to come, the engagement party between the Reynolds, and the Moore will forever remain number one in history. The chaos before the wedding, the way the Cooper was forced to witness their joyous day turned to someone else's
The way Frank Cooper, and Amy Moore witness their lifelong wish slip away from their hands was the most fun to watch, and as the engagement party ended, the guests invited couldn't be less happy.

THE MOORE'S MANSION
Hilda stretched her body flexibly as she walked out of her closet. She walked to her dressing mirror, and applied her night facials which she doesn't even bother to do before in her past life.
"I must work on my looks from now on.... I need to look extraordinarily sexy! "she danced around her room, and made to jump on the bed when she heard a knock on her door, "Who? "she inquired, and the beeping sounds of entering the passcode echoed.
She huff out a scoff when she realized who it is. There are many things she needs to change, and part of it is to change her passcode. The door automatically slid open, and Amy entered with her arms, wrapped around her pink pillow.
"If you want to sleep in my room, go toss that pink stuff out, including your pajamas! "Hilda snapped at the sight of pink. In her past life, and now, she won't stop hating pink. It's one of the colors she wouldn't dare take a liking to.
Amy shot out her lips in a pout, and take two steps towards Hilda who shrieked her brows irritatingly, "Why are you doing this to me? "with a brittle tone, she inquired. "What do you mean, and what's with your voice? "Hilda asked, feigning innocence.
"You know how much I've been admiring Ryan since we were kids, right? "Hilda raised a brow, and gestured her to come sit as she took her seat too.
"What do you mean since we were kids? "she asked, and Amy wiped her invisible tears. "When we were kids, we were neighbors with the Reynolds family, have you forgotten? "Hilda rolled her eyes upwards, with her brows wiggling as her mind wandered in her thoughts.
"Well, you might not remember him that much because you don't play with us..."Amy shrugged, and Hilda nodded. She crawled up to her bed, and drawled the duvet up to her body as she lied down flat on her back. "Hilda..."Amy called, and Hilda hum in response.
"Why did you change your mind from Frank Cooper to Ryan Reynolds? "an oblivion smirk appeared on Hilda's lips on hearing that question.
"Why don't you let's talk about this by morning, I'm really tired! "she groaned, as she turned to lie on her side. Amy heaved out a breath, and lied beside her as they both face each other.
"You know about how I love Ryan Reynolds, right? "she inquired, not wanting to wait till morning. She had not been on her right state of mind since the party, till now, and to wait till morning? Hell no!
"You never told me about it, how would I have known? "she replied in a flat tone, and Amy sat upright with a glare.
"What do you mean you don't know about it?! Everyone in this household knows about it, and who would have thought you'll wake up one day, and get over Frank Cooper?!!! "she yelled angrily, and Hilda scoff out a dry chuckle in disbelief.
"Okay, if you decide to not reply me, just take your pills, you can't sleep without it, you know? "she stretched forth her hand, and Hilda took it. She was about to toss it in her mouth, but changed her mind when she saw her mobile phone.
She took it, and scrolled to google lens, she scanned the pills, and searched for its functions, "What are you doing? "Amy inquired when she noticed her not moving to get water or anything meanwhile Hilda's eyes had almost popped out of its sockets as her eyes glued to the screen of her phone.
Her fingers trembled as everything dawned on her. Her eyes glimmers as it got cloudy, her veins almost popped out as the hair on her body all stood out. She felt cold from inside, and was sweating outside as her eyes wandered through the words that was written on her screen
"Hilda, are you alright? "Amy quickly asked, concern laced in her voice as she quickly sat on her legs, with a hoarse, and croaky voice, Hilda sneered coldly, "Get out! "
