Just as Kane was about to speak, a voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.

"Excuse me, folks. Due to Ms. Chloe's sudden cancellation of her wedding feast today, the venue is taken over by the Harper family to celebrate the engagement of my grandson, Damon, and the lady from the Alonso family"

As soon as this was said, all eyes were focused on the stage. Hearing Presley's words, Wendy felt both nervous and excited. The moment she had been waiting for was finally here!

Once her identity was publicly announced, and this night was over, the life she had always dreamed of would be waiting for her.

“Is that...Presley?"

“Yep, it's his grandson's engagement party. Of course, he'd be here."

“But...did Ms. Chloe’ engagement party really get called off?

What the hell happened?"

“Yeah, I was looking forward to it for so long. Thought today I'd finally find out who Ms. Chloe's fiancé is, but the wedding was canceled. Such a bummer"

“But crashing the Harper Group CEO's engagement party isn't too shabby."

Presley looked at the crowd below, smiling amiably. “I'm sure you all know that the Harper family and the Alonso family have always been close. Damon and Wendy being together is just a natural thing. Seeing them finally end up together is a sight I relish. Tonight's engagement was a last-

minute decision, but since you're all here, we can't let you go home disappointed. Please, enjoy yourselves!"

“God! This old man really has guts!” Kane, in a fury, turned around and stomped towards the stage! What the hell was going on?!

Angie stomped her foot in frustration. "What on earth is Grandpa doing?! He's stirring up a mess here, will Damon even accept this?

Hans chuckled coldly. “Damon might not accept it, but Chloe definitely got screwed over tonight. This kind of thing is irreparable. Even if you strike back, the damage has been done, it's just a lose- lose situation."

Presley standing on the stage, easily spotted the raging Kane storming towards him. He squinted his eyes and made a quick gesture to the side; immediately, two men quickly stepped in front of Kane to stop him.

“Mr. Ziems, your seat is at the back."

“Get lost!” Kane shoved one of them away!

This commotion drew the attention of a few people nearby.

Presley frowned, wanting to have Kane forcibly removed, but Kane shouted, "Who said Damen is getting engaged to that woman?!"

Everyone was confused. "What's going on?"

Seeing the buzz in the crowd, Presley said emotionlessly, "I just received the news that Damon might not be able to attend the engagement party tonight due to some last-minute issues. Thankfully, we didn't plan to make a big deal out of this engagement..."

Kane had the demeanor of a spoiled young aristocrat, but he had a deep respect for the elderly, especially for Damon's grandfather. However, today he was truly infuriated by this old man!

“Do you think we're fools?! If you knew he couldn't attend, why did you announce the engagement?!"

Not only Presley but Wendy and Grace also started to get nervous. This was indeed something they wanted to keep under wraps, why announce the engagement all of a sudden?

Of course, it had to be a last-minute announcement.

Otherwise, if Damon found out, he would only rush home more urgently. And Chloe, they had to admit, was clever. If they had announced it in advance, they couldn't guarantee that Chloe wouldn't have an opposing plan. So they had to announce it at the last minute, catching her off guard, preventing her from having the time and energy to do anything to stop them.

Presley was very careful about this; even Wendy only found out at the last minute. However, when this issue was raised, naturally people would have doubts.

“Yes, Ms. Alonso did say Damon might not be able to attend. If he can't attend, then why not cancel the engagement?"

Wendy started to feel nervous. “Well...we already set the engagement date a while ago, we can't just change it easily.

I."

Her stuttering and inability to find a convincing reason made her extremely anxious, almost to the point of crying. But because of her seemingly helpless and almost crying state, she appeared to others as a pitiful woman.

“So that's why!"

Before she could finish, people around her seemed to really understand her feelings and started nodding in agreement.

“Ms. Alonso is really unfortunate. After all, this is one of the most important days in a person's life, and her fiancé isn't here. That's hard on anyone!"

“It's not just hard, there are only a few important days in a woman's life, which should be the most beautiful memories, but now it's turned into this."

"Ms. Alonso, don't be too upset, we understand..."

The lady of the Alonso family, the future lady of the Harper family, either of these titles was enough to earn people's respect, especially now, when these two identities were combined.

Wendy didn't expect people to play along with her. She was stunned for a moment, then put on a face of grief and sadness, bit her lip, and shook her head stubbornly, but tears fell immediately.

“Lunderstand Mr. Harper wants to come to his own engagement party, but he must be held back by something.

I believe he's suffering more than me..."

“Ah, Ms. Alonso is really understanding..."

Wendy smirked. No wonder women liked to play weak and play kind. It turned out these people really liked this. She sneered inside, so these things were actually so simple.

“Wendy"

Just as she was feeling smug, a soft voice suddenly came.

When she saw Phoebe pulling Angie standing next to her, Wendy's eyebrows knitted slightly.

Grace decided to confront Phoebe, her expression as cold as ice. "Why are you here? Who told you to come? Why didn't you tell me you're coming to P City?"

Angie, who was standing nearby, saw this woman who had always been cold towards Phoebe and retorted angrily, “Isn't Wendy getting engaged today? What's wrong with Phoebe coming to her own sister's engagement party? Or are you saying, you don't consider Phoebe a part of the Alonso family?"

Grace's expression changed instantly. A myriad of emotions crossed her face before she managed to squeeze out a gentle smile.
