Chapter 86 Fiancee

When I heard the girl in front of me introduce herself as Ariana Rockefeller.

Murdoch's gray eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Many years ago, when Murdoch first came to the United States to develop the market, he set his sights on The New York Times.

But he was ridiculed by the Salzberg family.

Murdoch was in high spirits at that time.

He had just taken over Sky TV in the UK and became one of the British media giants as an Australian.

In his opinion, since Britain can handle it on its own, there is no reason why the United States cannot.

The Five Eyes are of the same blood, we are all Anglo-Saxons.

So after being ridiculed by Salzberg, Murdoch took some measures to retaliate.

Before he could take any action, he was stopped by his American friends.

The reason why Murdoch later listened to his friend's advice.

It was because his friend said that the father-in-law of Arthur Otz Salzberger Jr.'s grandfather was named Adolf Simon Oaks.

This third-generation head of the New York Times once served as John Rockefeller's personal press officer.

Arthur Jr.'s uncle, the younger brother of the fourth-generation head of the New York Times nicknamed "Penqu", is still working for the Rockefeller family...

Still don't understand? Someone from the Salzberg family is still serving as Rockefeller's butler!

So he confirmed that the little girl in front of him was Edward Rockefeller's youngest daughter and the granddaughter of the heart-transplant maniac.

A smile naturally appeared on Murdoch's aging face, and he wanted to shake her hand.

Gimp and Tommy's reactions were similar to Murdoch's, or even worse.

But Ariana clearly had little interest in them.

After shaking their hands, her beautiful eyes continued to return to Milo.

"My father went to Plymouth the day before yesterday."

After the pleasantries, she told Milo, "My family wants me to go to Harvard University."

Milo was stunned. He didn't know about this. His family didn't tell him about it.

But he thought of what his father had said to him last Christmas.

"That's great."

Milo smiled, looking at Ariana, whose face was still a little childish, and said, "Harvard University is the best choice in my opinion, no doubt about it."

"I thought so too." Ariana laughed, then looked at the others around her, "Everyone, I want to talk to Milo, just the two of us. Can you give us some convenience?"

"certainly!"

Salzberg's little Arthur immediately said, smiling and greeting Murdoch and others, "Everyone, how about we go over there and have a drink?"

Murdoch and others certainly would not refuse, and it was not easy for them to refuse.

At Salzberg's call, several men left the resting area in the fireplace area.

When everyone left and there were only two people left in the corner, Milo looked at Ariana and was about to speak.

Ariana: "Mr. Blackburn, I didn't actually plan to come here tonight. But I asked Mr. Salzberg to bring me here temporarily. Do you know why?"

Milo did not immediately respond to her preemptive words. He picked up the whiskey glass he had only taken a few sips of, shook it, and then said, "I don't know, Miss Rockefeller."

"Then let me tell you, Mr. Blackburn. My father called me from Boston an hour ago. He told me that Rockefeller and Blackburn will get married, and your grandfather and father have agreed. If there is no other heir to the Blackburn family besides you, I will become your wife soon."

Ariana: "I was doing what a middle school student was supposed to do, I was doing my homework. I knew you were in New York recently, and I asked Mr. Salzberg where you might be. He told me you might be here. So I came over, I wanted to meet the man who might be my future husband."

After a long speech, Ariana's beautiful eyes were fixed on Milo.

It seemed as if she wanted to see an expression of surprise on his face.

But no, Milo continued shaking his whiskey glass, his expression never changing.

It was as if what she had just said, that they would become husband and wife in the future, had nothing to do with him.

"Are you listening? Mr. Blackburn... No, Milo, are you listening?" After waiting for more than ten seconds, Milo didn't speak.

Ariana couldn't help but say again.

"Of course I was listening, of course I heard it."

"Then..." Ariana looked at Milo seriously, "You don't seem surprised at all?"

"It's only a matter of time."

Milo shrugged and said in a low voice, "It's either Rockefeller, Morgan, or Mellon or something else."

He recalled the words his grandfather had said to his father last Christmas when he had affirmed him.

Once Palatine died, his marriage was doomed to lose its freedom.

Unless he gave up everything of the Blackburn family and became an ordinary person.

Now it seems that it should be Rockefeller.

Ariana just said that her father went to Plymouth for this.

There was no way and no reason for her to joke about such a thing.

Thinking of this, Milo drank the half glass of whiskey in his glass.

The strong liquor went down his throat, feeling hot and spicy, just like how he felt now.

Then, he put the wine glass on the table, and suddenly moved closer to Ariana, one hand very abruptly holding Ariana's waist, and the other hand gently stroked Ariana's braids on both sides through the thin silk scarf, fiddling with the thin golden brown hair. "So, Ariana, we are now an engaged couple, right?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Milo, oh, don't mess up my hair! My maid took so much time to do it!"

Hearing Milo's words and being so close to him, Ariana blushed, but she didn't try to break free of Milo's hand. "Not yet, we still have to go through the engagement ceremony. Only then can we be considered an engaged couple..."

"good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Milo let her go.

Ariana was about to speak when she saw Milo pick up the half-empty bottle of Dalmore 62 whiskey on the table and hand it to her.

"Ariana, hold it for me. Let's go over there and have a drink with my friend."

Ariana subconsciously took the bottle and stood up and walked forward with him.

Before Ariana could say anything, she and Milo had already walked to a few people not far away. She saw a thin black-haired man among them, persuading a beautiful girl to drink. "Catherine, have another drink. This is only the third drink. In my opinion, you should go to my house for a drink. I have better wine in my wine cellar!"

The beautiful girl who was being urged to drink had an obviously embarrassed expression on her face.

But the man still persuaded: "It's just a glass of whiskey. This is the Hilton Hotel. You can take a rest after drinking it."

"I, I can't drink, really, Mr. Giuliani, my alcohol tolerance is average."

The girl's pretty cheeks were abnormally red, not blush, but the redness caused by drinking too much.

Ariana recognized the girl in front of her, a British actress named Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Ariana rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry and Hollywood, but she could recognize Zeta-Jones at a glance.

Or there must be another reason.

She learned about it from her father and grandfather a few months ago.

Her future husband will definitely be a member of the Boston consortium.

It was either Craig in Maine, Harris in Connecticut, or Blackburn in Massachusetts.

Ariana had no intention of misunderstanding or resisting this.

Free love?

Haha, ask the ladies from high-class families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Celestial Empire whether they would freely fall in love with a lowly person who is not even from a poor family?

After finding out which direction her future husband might come from.

The only thing Ariana wanted to do was to marry as beautifully as possible and pick a good one within the scope allowed by her family.

Last Christmas, she ran into Blackburn's only current heir at Harvard University.

At that time, Ariana was impressed by Milo's height and handsomeness.

Later, she secretly asked someone to investigate several potential candidates for marriage.

After comparison, she found that Blackburn, who had a bad reputation before, was the best looking.

Later, she learned that her ancestor also preferred to marry into the Blackburn family, which had great influence in the church and among military chaplains.

Since then, Ariana has become more concerned about Milo's affairs.

Or rather, Ariana has been secretly following Milo Blackburn since last Christmas.

That's why she was able to recognize Zeta-Jones, the Hollywood actress who had a scandal with Milo in the media.
