Not
For Long
Joanne put away her phone, snorted, and said, "I know Fiona best. She absolutely can't stand to see others taking away what belongs to her. Let's just wait and see. Lucille won't stay arrogant for long!" Zoey didn't say anything, but deep down...
She silently hoped that it was true.
In the banquet hall, they sounded the drums.
At the same time, fireworks were exploding outside. The colorful sparks were so beautiful that everyone was dazzled.
The sound of drums meant that the main event was about to begin.
However, there was still no sign of Joseph outside.
Madam Louisa stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Madam Collins, do you want to... postpone the event for half an hour?"
"No, let's proceed as usual!"
Madam Collins sat calmly in her seat, looking totally at peace. Her steady aura made the guests, who had been whispering amongst themselves, quiet down instantly. Boom...
The drum was sounded for the second time.
When it happened a third time, Austin excitedly ran in from outside and shouted, "A helicopter! A helicopter is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and slender figure appeared in the doorway.
It was Joseph.
He finally showed up.
Not For Long
With the exploding fireworks outside the banquet hall, the flickering lights made his handsome eyes look even deeper. His sculpted facial features and sharp jawline were all fascinating.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He slowly walked up to Lucille, held her hand, and put a ring on her finger in front of everyone.
"I told you. There's no way I would hand my bride over to someone else," he murmured.
The shining diamond in the middle of the ring was ocean blue.
One sharp-eyed guest recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "Isn't that diamond from a collection? It's got a rare color, not to mention its value. I remember that it was being kept in Tamont City's vault. I can't believe Mr. Joseph bought it!" "Oh my God! How much would that cost?"
"It's part of a collection because it's priceless. If someone really wanted to buy it, it would cost more than a billion dollars..."
"I'm jealous."
The men's hearts soured, and the women's eyes were full of envy.
Countless scorching gazes fell on Lucille and Joseph, who were standing at the end of the red carpet.
The lights above them cast intertwined shadows beneath their feet, looking as if they were hugging and kissing each other.
For some reason, their shadows lined up perfectly.
Listening to the guests around her, Lucille looked down at the ring in her -hand and asked, "Is it real?"
Joseph could hear the implication behind her words. He asked calmly, What if it is?"
"Do we need to return it?"
"No." Since it was a gift for her, it belonged to her. There was no need to
give it back.
Lucille's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"I can probably sell it for a lot of money, then."
More than one billion dollars. How many tasks would she have to complete to earn that much money?
Joseph had almost thought that he had misheard.
He burst into laughter and extinguished Lucille's hope. "It's fake."
""Oh."
Lucille was not too disappointed.
She was very clear about the kind of relationship they shared.
They were just partners. It wasn't worth it to buy an engagement ring for more than a billion dollars just for a contract that can be canceled at any time.
It just wasn't a good deal.
She had to admit that it was a well-made fake, though.
Throughout the entire engagement party, pretty much all of the women were staring at her enviously.
When the banquet was finally over, Lucille heaved a sigh of relief.
