Chapter 3
The following day, when Raelynn turned on her phone, she noticed that Alice, who had threatened to take her own life the night before, had shared a post on her Instagram.
“How does it feel to be adored by three young gentlemen?”
She attached three photos.
The first photo showed the usually distant Adam cradling her and gently feeding her mushroom soup.
The next image showed the composed Benjamin seated at her bedside, their hands clasped together.
The last shot featured the proud Charlie half-kneeling before her, tenderly applying medicine with genuine compas- sion in his gaze.
In these pictures, the pretty young woman beamed with a shy and sweet smile, appearing like the most blissful princess imaginable.
The comment section overflowed with envious remarks, as people expressed their jealousy one after the other.
“All three men of the Norster family are smitten with her. Alice must have done something extraordinary in a past life.”
“Seriously, having one would be incredible, but three? How did Alice pull that off?”
Apart from the envious remarks, there were inevitably those who wanted to see Raelynn embarrass herself.
She skimmed through the comments nonchalantly, and a few stood out to her.
“I wonder what Ms. Margrett will say when she finds out?”
“What would a clingy fan like her think? She’s been pursuing the three Norster brothers all day. After seeing this, she’ll be jealous and will probably run back to them soon. Care to wager on how long it’ll take her to appear?”
“I bet ten minutes!”
“I bet five! minutes”
“I bet three minutes! I’ll bet my new sports car on it!”
***
Numerous people were entertained. They began making bets, and the stakes kept escalating.
Raelynn, however, smiled with relief. She decided she wouldn’t pursue them as desperately as before.
With her delicate fingers, she swiftly typed a message on her phone.

choose?”
Raelynn glanced at the three familiar faces, each radiating a different vibe, and said icily, “I haven’t chosen any of you.”
Charlie frowned. “What do you mean by that? Out of the eligible members of our generation in the Norster family, only the three of us are of the right age to marry. If not us, then who could you possibly pick?”
Benjamin’s voice turned aggressive. “You’ve been tagging along with us since childhood, acting like you can’t wait to get married. Now you’re saying you haven’t picked any of us-what game are you playing now?”
“Raelynn, regardless of what you’re up to, we’re never going to accept you!”
Adam rubbed his brows in frustration.
Raelynn took a deep breath. “Who says a marriage partner has to be from the same generation? The one I’ve picked is…”
Before she could finish, a bodyguard burst in, panic written all over his face.
“Mr. Adam, Mr. Benjamin, Mr. Charlie, there’s trouble! Alice committed suicide after hearing about the marriage al- liance.”
Hearing this, their expressions changed, and they walked out quickly.
Suddenly, Adam seemed to recall something. He turned back, his eyes glaring with disdain. “Raelynn, see what you’ve done! If you had picked me, I would have definitely bailed on the wedding, making you a joke to the whole city!”
Benjamin’s gaze was equally frigid, his voice turning as cold as ice. “If you dare to choose me, I’ll make sure a dog wears the groom’s suit and takes the vows with you on the wedding day!”
Charlie said angrily, “If you choose me, I’ll destroy the wedding venue that very day! I’ll sabotage it every time it’s planned!
“The only person we like is Alice. Even if you push this marriage through, we will never acknowledge you!”
Having said that, the three of them hurriedly exited the room, one after the other.
Raelynn looked at their nervous figures as they left, thinking it was completely absurd.
The choice of a marriage partner had already been made. From this point forward, she would have one identity which was their elder!
