Chapter 1251
Sure, we lived for ourselves, but we still craved the recognition and blessings of others. So, we couldn’t miss any of the significant ntuals in life
Life didn’t give you second chances and missing out was a crying shame. However, on such an important day, when they just wanted to share their happiness with others, how could Damon bear to let Chloe become the laughingstock or object of pity?
It was such a sad thing for a woman’s happiness to be pitied.
“What if Damon really can’t make it? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?” said Yulia.
Presley’s sudden decision must have been well–thought–out. She wouldn’t believe otherwise.
Even if Damon could rush back to P City, Presley wouldn’t let him show up that easily. Tonight, these two women who were supposed to get engaged to Damon might not even get to see him. His absence was exactly what Wendy and Presley were hoping for.
And for Chloe, this could be the difference between heaven and hell…
“What should we do? Should we stop her from attending, or just find someone to stand in for Damon, as Seth just suggested?” Kane said. Though he initially disagreed with Seth’s idea, he now thought it might be a good choice.
He said this because there were simply no other options.
“No way!” Noah shook his head and said in a low voice, “That would only solve the problem temporarily. We can’t let the person who gets engaged to her today be different from her fiancé a few days later. That would cause even more trouble.”
Yulia nodded in agreement. “Yes, that would have negative effects on both of them. Besides, if we really do that, Presley will look down on Chloe even more…” Now that they both had the certificate, Presley didn’t even care. He would have more reasons to break Damon and Chloe apart after being public with someone else. Silence fell upon them at this point. If they would let someone else stand in, it would be exactly what Presley would want to see.
“That old geezer is ruthless!” Kane gritted his teeth. “I’m going to tell Chloe to call off the engagement party tonight!”
“It won’t work.”
A gentle voice came from not far away. Everyone turned to look.
A slim woman in a black dress, simple and not complicated, knee–length, with lantern sleeves, a V–neck design, and loose hair that was slightly curled because of the banquet. Her hands were in the pockets of her dress, as she slowly walked towards them.
The simplest dress, the darkest color, without any recognizable brand. But on her, it had a special charm.
The V–neck and skin exposed below the skirt, under the black dress, were delicate and shiny. Her bright eyes and white teeth, along with her light eyebrows, were captivating at first glance. She stood in the crowd, while Danielle unconsciously took a small step back, her face pale.
Cicely looked around calmly. “If Chloe wanted to cancel the engagement, she would have done it already. Getting Chloe to call off the engagement is exactly what Presley wants, isn’t it?” She laughed coldly after finishing her sentence. “The old man’s methods are much stronger than others. He’s determined not to give Chloe any way out. In fact, as long as Damon shows up, all problems will be solved. Instead of sitting here wasting time, better figure out a way to get Damon here.”
The crowd fell silent.
“Isn’t that just stating the obvious?” Kane suddenly burst out. “If we could easily get Damon here, would we still be here?”
Cicely gave a slight smile, her attitude clearly showing she didn’t care.
“Well, you guys can keep thinking then. Let me help you rule out some impossible solutions…
“One, Chloe won’t cancel the engagement.
Two, we can’t stop her from attending.
Three, no one can stand in for the groom.
Four, we can’t persuade Presley to change his mind.
Five, we can’t persuade the lady of the Alonso family to change her mind.
Six…”
Cicely chuckled. “We can’t publicly announce that Chloe’s fiancé is Damon.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, with Angie even clapping her hands excitedly. “Yeah, they can release news, so can we. Just announce that Chloe’s fiancé is really…”
“But if Damon doesn’t show up, and Presley steps in… Not only will Chloe be embarrassed, but she’ll also have to face humiliation from Presley and even more people.” Cicely’s voice rose slightly, interrupting Angie’s words, then calmly finished her sentence, leaving everyone silent.
This seemingly carefree woman was considering everything thoroughly, even more so than they were.
“Maybe you guys have better ideas. Take your time…”
After saying this, Cicely turned to leave, but Danielle’s harsh voice came from behind, sounding somewhat flustered. “Where are you going?”
Cicely’s steps slowly stopped. She paused for a few seconds with her back to Danielle, then slowly turned around, looking directly at Danielle. After a while, she suddenly laughed lightly, her eyes filled with mockery. “Danielle, since when do I need to tell you where I’m going and what I’m doing?”
Danielle frowned, looking in the direction Cicely was headed. She felt a bit uneasy. That was the direction Seth had just left.
Cicely looked at Danielle’s reaction, then at the group in front of her, which was often together but was missing one man. She gave a slight smile, understanding. Danielle always maintained a reserved and dignified image. She cared a lot about her dignity and tried her best not to show her jealousy and pettiness. Every time. she saw Danielle like this, Cicely would feel her anger spiraling out of control and growing.
Danielle wanted to present an image of being dignified, elegant, and generous, but Cicely wanted to expose her pretense.

guess Danielle isn’t a boring person,” She suddenly said, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone present, stopping on Kane, asking, “Did Seth just leave for this way?”
Kane just clenched his lips..”
This woman dragged him into her mess again. He didn’t say a word, but Cicely suddenly turned around and blurted out, “Well then, I better not leave from here, so Danielle won’t think Seth and I are off to find a quiet corner to be together.”
