Chapter 1253
The manager of the hotel hurried over, and with an air of respect asked Wendy, “Ms Alonso, do you need to book any other banquet halls?”
That’s when it hit everyone.
“Right! Isn’t this the venue for Ms. Chloe’s engagement party?!”
The manager gave an awkward nod. “Yes, the engagement ceremony is about to start. You see…”
The news online was creating quite a buzz.
The lady of the Alonso family, the CEO of the Harper Group…
The mere introduction of their backgrounds online was enough to blow people’s minds, not to mention what happened if these two families merged. Just thinking about it was enough to give you a thrill.
For this hotel to have hosted the engagement party of these two was a marketing opportunity of a lifetime.
“Ms. Alonso, where’s your banquet hall?”
“Will Damon be rushing back?”
Wendy’s grin grew wider. “If he can’t make it back, it can’t be helped. As for the banquet hall…”
“As for the banquet hall, we’ll take this one.”
Grace’s sudden announcement left everyone in stunned silence. People gave each other puzzled looks, not knowing what to make of it.
The hotel manager was the first to panic. “I’m sorry, Ms. Alonso, but that might not be possible. Ms. Chloe booked this place long ago, and her engagement ceremony is about to begin.”
A hint of mischief sparkled in Wendy’s eyes, but she put on a sorry expression. “Didn’t she cancel her engagement today? I’m sorry, I misunderstood, I thought…”
“What?! Why would Ms. Chloe cancel her engagement?”
Like they were on the brink of finding out some juicy scoop, people couldn’t help but ask. “Why would Ms. Chloe cancel her engagement? Is she breaking off the engagement?”
“Ms. Alonso, how did you know Ms. Chloe was cancelling her engagement ceremony?”
So, you must know who Ms. Chloe’s fiancé is, right?”
Wendy simply shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t know. I might have gotten it wrong… If Ms. Chloe hasn’t canceled her engagement, I’ll just book another banquet
hall…”
Canceled the wedding… Her casual remark set the whole banquet hall buzzing again.
Almost immediately, headlines like “Ms. Chloe is canceling her engagement! Tonight’s star of the show at Emerald Palace will be Ms. Alonso!” started popping up
online.
“Cancel the wedding?! What’s going on? Hmph… I knew it, she was bound to stir up trouble sooner or later!”
A sharp voice rang out, and everyone turned to see Carolina, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Jonah and Nick were also there.
Everyone took a few steps back, not knowing how to deal with Carolina. She was unreformed, increasingly outrageous, greedy as hell, and shameless. For an elder to stoop so low, it was really embarrassing.
Ever since Nick found out at his father’s birthday party that the woman he had loved for over 20 years was not his biological daughter and that his wife had cheated on him without him ever suspecting, he had not made any public appearances. Now that he was here, the embarrassment on his face was unmistakable.
And then there was Nick’s father… In the Summers family, Jonah was probably the only one who was more pitiable than despicable.
was curious to see what kind of man could make her not want to be the viscountess of Y Country. Now she’s been dumped!”
Everyone remained silent, eyebrows knitted, not understanding how she could be so certain that Chloe had been dumped. Was this old woman losing her marbles?
Perhaps sensing the odd glances around her, Carolina pursed her lips and lowered her voice. “Does anyone know where she is? If the engagement has been canceled, as her grandmother, I can’t just sit by. I need to see her.”
The manager, unsure whether the banquet would still continook the chance to say, “She’s in the backstage dressing room.”
Carolina smirked slightly, glanced back, and waved her hand.
Everyone was taken aback, following her gaze, only to see a huge crowd pouring in through the banquet hall entrance, bustling and in sync. They quickly rushed in and formed two lines, leaving a pathway in between. Then, two figures slowly appeared at the entrance.
A man, and a woman.
The woman was young and beautiful, with a high chin and an air of arrogance. The man was tall and dressed in British formal wear, gentlemanly and elegant. He was Rhys, the one Ms. Chloe had kicked out of the company a few days ago.
With this grand entrance, what was he up to? It looked like they were planning to crash the wedding today.
When Jonah saw them, he staggered in anger. “Carolina, you…”
“I’m doing this for her good!” Carolina interrupted Jonah. “She’s been dumped and made a laughingstock. Rhys still wants to marry her despite everything. That’s proof of his love! What are you blabbering about?!”
After saying her piece, she didn’t give Jonah a chance to retort, but turned to Rhys with an air of arrogance, coldly saying, “Come with me to the backstage, you can take care of Chloe!”
“Carolina!” Jonah blocked her path, his eyes filled with rage. “He’s already married! What are you doing, putting. Chloe in this position?!”
“So what, if she marries Rhys, she’ll live a noble life…”
Rhys cut in calmly, “Jonah, I’m deeply in love with Chloe, I don’t understand why you keep rejecting me.”

Chapter 1253
Jonah didn’t bother sugarcoating his words and just said it straight, “Because Chloe doesn’t fancy you! She already rejected you loud and clear. What’s the point of you pestering her non–stop?”
“You old man, you really have no respect for others!” Off to the side, Becky, who was used to being pampered and having people fussing over her as a princess, had never thought someone would dare disrespect their royal family like this. Her temper flared up like a lit fuse!
“Who do you think your granddaughter is? No lineage, no background, and she thinks she can marry into the Y Country’s royal family? Does she even qualify for that? She doesn’t like my cousin? Huh, does she even have the right to do so? The poor should stick with the poor, and the useless should pair with the useless! Someone as lowly as her should be stuck with a lousy man! Acting all high and mighty in front of me, what a joke!!”
Rhys, standing nearby, grimaced at her words. The useless should pair with the useless…
Seeing this, Carolina quickly prompted Rhys, “Rhys, aren’t you going to go see Chloe?”
“Of course!”
He had barely taken a few steps with the crowd when their path was blocked by a few people. Kane and the others stood in front of Carolina and Rhys. “What are you trying to do? What plans do you have with Chloe?”
Rhys frowned, looking at Kane, and asked, “And you
are?”
OMG! you are a great story teller! I am on the edge of my seat! make Chloe and her mother Princesses!!! and move wedding venue to the palace!
