Chapter 455:

“Brenton or Kareem?” she asked.

“Brenton.”

A faint smile played on Harlee’s lips. She rose and gave Rhys a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“It seems you’re in for quite the journey.”

Rhys encircled his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her head.

His voice, deep and captivating, whispered, “I can’t bear to part with you…”

Harlee reciprocated the embrace, gazing up at him with alluring eyes.

“So I’m staying tonight?”

“If you don’t return, Brenton threatens to demolish Remson Manor in half an hour,” Rhys replied, his face adopting a pitiful look, a tactic Hamilton had advised, claiming women favored a blend of vulnerability and dominance.

True to Hamilton’s words, Harlee responded warmly, pressing her lips firmly to his.

“It’s not as serious as it seems.

At most, they’ll only stop us from getting married.”

“That prospect terrifies me more than the demolition of Remson Manor!”

“Okay, I’ll see you at the Brooks family’s engagement party tomorrow.”

“I can’t bear to part with you…”

Their goodbye dragged on for another half hour, neither wanting to release the other before they finally parted.

The following day, the much-anticipated engagement celebration of Wade and Angela unfolded with splendid fanfare at the Brooks Hotel. Scheduled to commence at seven o’clock in the evening, the venue was abuzz with activity from as early as nine in the morning, swarmed by an extensive security team.

Wade, a shining star in the entertainment world, drew a dazzling array of celebrities to the event.

Angela, fresh from clinching first place in a piano competition, coupled with the buzz surrounding their hasty engagement, attracted a bevy of journalists who amassed at the entrance from dawn.

With his characteristic flair for the dramatic, Wade was not one to leave the reporters in the cold.

He extended invitations to the fifty most prominent media outlets, determined to leverage the engagement party not just as a celebration but as a strategic move to catapult his entertainment empire to new heights.

The Brooks family, one of the four most esteemed families in Baythorn, held their reputation in the highest regard.

Although Angela did not hail from a family as illustrious as the Morgan family, her recent triumph in a prestigious competition and the possibility of an apprenticeship with the globally acclaimed pianist Meg Vargas lent her considerable prestige.

Consequently, the Brooks family’s guest list for the engagement celebration was a testament to their status, featuring not only the influential elites of Baythorn but also distinguished figures from across Mogluylia. The celebrities invited to the event were chosen with great care, ensuring only those with substantial renown and accolades, including leading stars and celebrated actors, made the cut.

By the time the clock struck two in the afternoon, Generis Entertainment and Baythorn News, the sole broadcasters granted rights to air the event live, had already started streaming to an eager audience. The live stream captured the elegance of the red carpet at the engagement celebration, which extended a full five meters, bordered by an exquisite array of rare, specially grown roses.
