Chapter 1250
She was dressed in a figure–hugging white gown that accentuated her slender and elegant figure. Her exquisite makeup, gentle and dignified expression, along with her conservative yet unique gown, all exuded a subtle and gentle beauty.
Her face wore a modest smile, her back straight, and her demeanor approachable.
Having grown up as a lady in the Alonso family and often participating in social events, Wendy easily carried herself with grace and propriety.
“Is that the lady of the Alonso family?”
“So beautiful.”
“Exactly, the daughter raised by a big family like this, her demeanor is really extraordinary.”
“Be it her demeanor, looks, or family background, there’s nothing to pick! Being together with the heir of the Harper Group is a match made in heaven!”
People were gathered at the foot of the staircase, watching Wendy, and praising her without reservation. After all, she was the future lady of the Harper family, and complimenting her couldn’t possibly go wrong.
And what Wendy wanted was exactly this kind of atmosphere. See, everyone thinks it was natural for her to be together with Damon.
She had the ability to be the future lady of the Harper family. She was not incapable of standing by Damon’s side! In fact, wasn’t she the most qualified woman to stand by his side?
As Wendy and Grace descended the final step, people flocked around them.
“Congratulations, Ms. Alonso.”
Wendy responded to them with a smile. “Thank you.”
“You’ve kept this secret well, only announcing it when you’re about to be engaged.”
“There were just too many people the Alonso and Harper families needed to invite, so we chose to keep a low profile during our engagement and save the big celebration for the wedding day.”
“That makes sense! But why are you out first? Where’s your fiancé? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”
Hearing this question, Wendy slightly tightened her grip, and Grace gently patted her, then she managed to lift the corners of her mouth again.
“He had to leave on urgent business a few days ago, but he should be here soon if all goes well.” She spoke softly, coupled with her subtly forced smile, projecting a sense of helplessness that was pitiful.
“I see. But this is such an important day… Well, it’s normal for men to be busy.”
Wendy nodded, appearing to be very understanding. “Yes, he’s managing the Harper family all by himself, so it’s understandable that he’s busy.”
“You’re kind, considerate, beautiful, and intelligent. The president is really lucky to have you. Congratulations to both of you!”
“Thank you.”
Wendy thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by people who were complimenting her, especially now that she was also the future Mrs. Harper, which made her feel exceptionally superior.
Outside Chloe’s dressing room in the resting area, Kane and his group were sitting on the sofa, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
“Where’s that old man? I need to talk to him. What the hell is he thinking? What era is this, and he’s still blocking the love of the younger generation?”
Kane was seething, finally unable to restrain himself, and jumped up from the sofa. He looked like he wanted to do more than just talk, like he needed a fight to vent his anger.
Ollie quickly grabbed his arm to prevent him from actually rushing out.
“Why are you holding me back? That old man is clearly doing it on pullying Chloe while Damon is not around?”
“Think you’re brave because your legs got busted?”
The one who spoke was Seth, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa with his long legs crossed, his voice calm and composed. His words, though devoid of emotion, almost infuriated Kane to death.
He had just recently recovered, and if it hadn’t been for Ollie’s womanly conscience, his legs might have been ruined for real.
It was a huge humiliation in his life. And now Seth was intentionally bringing it up.
“Seth…” Standing behind Seth, Danielle felt it was inappropriate, her hand on his shoulder, she reminded him with a slight exertion of force. “Can’t you be more polite?”
Kane completely ignored Danielle, glaring at Seth, wishing he could burn a thousand holes in him.
But Seth just slowly got up from the sofa, glanced at his watch, and said lightly, “I’m leaving.”
“Seth, you’re just leaving like this?”
Kane stood in front of Seth.
Seth looked at him. “If I don’t leave, do you want me to continue sticking around to watch the joke?”
Kane frowned. “Whose joke are you talking about? Chloe’s? You know how awkward it would be for Chloe if Damon didn’t come, and you still want to leave?”
Seth, one hand in his pocket, spoke in a flat tone, but his eyes held a cold smirk. “So I should stay and play the leading man?”
Kane’s eyes widened. “You dare have any ideas about Chloe!”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Seth turned around. “So I’m leaving for now, do you have a problem with that?”
After saying that, he walked past Kane.
“Cold–hearted jerk!” Kane shouted.

Seeing Seth leaving, Danielle also hurriedly followed. “Seth, you…”
“You stay here for now.” Seth didn’t stop, and just casually said this, obviously not giving her a chance to argue.
Danielle stopped, not understanding why he was leaving but not taking her along. However, he had never abandoned her for no reason before, and besides, he said, “for now“. She trusted him, he would definitely come back for her in the end. But she was a bit uneasy because she didn’t know what Seth was up to.
Even though she was the woman closest to him, she always felt that she was the one who understood him the least.
“What should we do? There’s less than an hour left, what if Damon really doesn’t come?” Angie was so anxious that her eyes were red.
She was always a little girl longing for a beautiful love, so she couldn’t understand how heartbreaking it would be for a woman to be abandoned at her happiest moment. Even though Chloe seemed nor to care at all right now, she must’ve been upset inside.
Yulia was also anxious on the side. No one could really get why some folks made such a big deal out of ceremonies. Throwing a ceremony was like the straightest route to express what was going on inside.
It was the ceremonies that set one day apart from the rest, one moment from all others. And it was this difference that made a certain day or moment stand out, making it worth remembering.
