Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Why Does He Like Me?

Skylar’s mysterious appearance caused Lincoln and Betty to speculate.

He was someone who could attend Dragon Commander’s disarming ceremony just by showing up.

Moreover, he brought Yulia’s whole family in.

Could he be Dragon Commander?

No, it was not possible!

How could the powerful Dragon Commander take a liking to Yvonne?”

And his monthly salary was only twenty thousand dollars.

“Huh? Skylar, how did you get in?” Someone asked in surprise.

The four of them looked back and saw that it was Charles and Yvonne.

Yvonne replied, “Why do you care?”

Yvonne sneered, “Yulia, haven’t you figured out the situation yet?”

“Dragon Commander wants to propose to me. I will be the star of this ceremony.”

“You’re telling me it’s none of my business when you’ve entered my ceremony?”

Skylar frowned. “Are you still delusional, Yvonne?”

“Didn’t you say that both of you will be coming to the ceremony to serve as waiters?”

Yvonne immediately burst out in anger. “How dare you humiliate me like this, Skylar?”

“I have all of you killed when Dragon Commander proposes to me.”

Lincoln and Betty’s expressions suddenly changed.

Yvonne was about to become Dragon Commander’s fiancée. And even if Skylar had a decent background, he could never compete against Dragon Commander.

He was wishing for death if he dared to offend Yvonne.

The music halted. Then the stage lights were turned on.

“Good morning, everyone.”

A man in military uniform came to the stage.

The atmosphere was pin-drop silent.

Yvonne threw a provocative look at Yvonne. “Dragon Commander is about to propose to me soon. Just wait!”

Yulia’s face went pale.

Skylar glared at Yvonne.

The man in uniform continued, ” This ceremony was made possible because of God’s protection. This means that Dragon Commander had achieved life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and returned.”

“However, Dragon Commander is a humble person and does not like anything fancy. Therefore, he will not be participating in various procedures during the ceremony.”

Everyone present nodded.

They were just mere people. How could they be able to see him whenever they wanted to?

What’s more was that Dragon Commander’s safety was related to the war, when the country was established.

To them, it was already a great honor to be able to participate in the ceremony.

The man in uniform added, “However, Dragon Commander had decided to take this opportunity to propose to the girl he fancies!”

“Before Dragon Commander comes on stage, on behalf of all my subordinates, I present a wedding gift to Mrs. Dragon Commander!”

What?

Was Dragon Commander going to show up?

The people present immediately caught on to the important information. They were ecstatic and applauded wildly.

As the voice of the man in uniform fainted, two female regiments in white uniforms and gloves stepped out.

They had beautifully carved trays in their hands.

There were land deeds, real estate certificates, luxury car keys, and priceless jewelry on the pallet…

Led by the men in uniform, the female corps slowly walked toward Yvonne and Yulia.

The both of them stood very close because of the conversation they had earlier.

Yvonne shed tears of happiness upon seeing the man in uniform approaching,

As for Yulia, her face went pale and her heart sunk.

The moment Yvonne was proposed to, it would be the beginning of her family’s tragedy.

She subconsciously took a few steps back away from Yvonne.

Skylar grabbed her arm and said, “Don’t move, just stand here.”

Yvonne wanted to run him over with her heels.

Did he think that she was not humiliated enough?

When the man in uniform approached them, he immediately stopped and saluted.

“Sister-in-law, please accept everyone’s blessings to you and Dragon Commander.”

“This is a wedding ceremony, and it is also the dowry we offer you on behalf of Dragon Commander.”

Yvonne covered her mouth excitedly and said in a trembling voice, “Alright… I’ll accept it!”

The man in uniform frowned, “What’s the matter with you?”

Yvonne froze. “Huh?”

The man in uniform pushed her away, “Get out of the way, you don’t deserve to stand beside our sister- in-law!”

Boom!

Yvonne’s brain went haywire.

Dragon Commander’s woman of choice was not her!

You don’t deserve to stand beside our sister-in-law?

Yulia was the only one standing next to her.

So, Dragon Commander was proposing to Yulia after all?

Boom!

Yvonne wanted to die on the spot after thinking about it.

Yulia was stunned.

Even though the man in uniform turned his gaze to her, she could not believe it.

“Sister-in-law, please accept the wishes of thousands of soldiers.”

“Ten luxury villas.”

“Twenty luxury cars.”

“A hundred acres of homestead in the eastern suburbs.”

“Ten yachts.”

“And, 100 pieces of jewelry.”

…

The atmosphere was thick.

As expected of Dragon Commander, the dowry for the proposal was enough to buy half the city.

Yvonne’s heart beat violently. “Are you talking to me… Sir?”

The man in uniform was so frightened that he bowed in a hurry. “Sister-in-law, I’m Dragon Commander’s subordinate, I’m Yuvan Porter, you can call me Yuvan.”

“Uhm…”

Yvonne was stunned.

Dragon Commander was proposing to her?

Although her surname was Sue, she got pregnant before marriage and had a daughter, so she did not think much about it at all.

Pfft!

Lincoln fell to the ground, he covered his heart with his hands. He had a painful expression.

He was having a heart attack.

His daughter was the one Dragon Commander was proposing to.

What an amazing turn of events!

How exciting!

Skylar quickly resuscitated him using a special technique to relieve the pressure on his heart.

How could Betty take care of Lincoln?

She could not take her eyes off the lavish gifts in the female soldier’s hand. Her eyes were filled with excitement.

Dragon Commander!

This is Dragon Commander!

Yulia was about to burst. It meant that She and Lincoln would enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of their lives.

“Hurry up and accept Dragon Commander’s proposal, Yulia!” Betty urged Yulia as she was afraid that something would interrupt them.

Yvonne bit her lip and refused to express her feelings.

Skylar’s palms began to sweat.

The man in uniform presented the box full of jewelry to Yulia.

Everyone thought that Yvonne would accept it immediately.

However, Yulia decided to speak all of a sudden. “Dragon Commander and I have never met before.”

“Then, how could he possibly have feelings for me?”
