?Chapter 465: A wave of whispers washed over the room, the guests buzzing with anticipation, most suspecting the announcement would involve the distribution of the Brooks familys wealth to the newly betrothed.


    However, Angs thoughts were elsewhere.


    She was less interested in the inheritance and more fixated on Harlee, wondering if Harlee would somehow embarrass herself during the event.


    Ang confidently took the microphone from Wades hands and addressed the gathered crowd with a calm,posed voice, Since we have the honor of Miss Sanderson and Mr.


    Green joining us tonight, perhaps, Saul, it would be fitting to have them as witnesses on stage during our engagement celebration? At the mention of their names, Harlee and Rhys shared a knowing look.


    Without waiting for Sauls approval, they stood up simultaneously and made their way toward the stage.


    Caught in their quiet consensus, Saul found himself nodding in agreement, though reluctantly.


    As Saul watched them ascend the tform, his thoughts drifted to the daunting decision he had made about dividing his estate.


    Doubt gnawed at him.


    Was he making the right choice? Harlee and Rhys positioned themselves on the stage, keeping a deliberate space between them to prevent any scandalous gossip that might tarnish Harlees reputation.


    The moment they appeared on stage, the cameras zoomed in on Harlee, revealing her to the entire room.


    A wave of admiration swept through the crowd, eliciting a spontaneous wow as they were taken aback by Harlees radiant elegance.


    From her spot in the audience, Lindsay caught sight of the dazzling duo disyed on therge screen.


    New updates in g????lησv?????s A pang of jealousy surged through her, and the fork she was holding clinked against her te as it dropped, her eyes brimming with unspoken envy.


    At that instant, the crowd was utterly captivated by Harlees striking presence, utterly oblivious to Lindsays subdued reaction.


    On the stage, Ang was calcting the time, her brow furrowed in confusion.


    The drug was supposed to have started working by now.


    Yet, Harlee appearedpletely unaffected.


    Convinced of her meticulous dosing, Angs heart slowly settled.


    She surmised it was simply a matter of time.


    Soon, Harlee would undoubtedly embarrass herself before the entire assembly.


    Harlee remained poised at center stage, her gaze coolly ncing at Ang beside her.


    She curved her lips into a feigned look of concern.


    Miss Hilton, you appear distracted.


    Is everything alright? Ang, taken aback by Harlees direct question, hurriedly concealed the brief shadow of unease that crossed her features, responding in a subdued tone, Perhaps I rose a bit too early today.


    Its really nothing to worry about.


    Wade, despite his reservations about Angs background, couldnt deny her charms in private moments.


    He tenderly draped his arm around Angs waist, offering her his support.


    Lean on me, and that should make you feel better.


    Angs expression softened with gratitude.


    The onlookers, witnessing Wades affectionate gesture, believed wholeheartedly in the romance that the gossip had spoken of.


    After a moment, Saul stepped forward and took the microphone.


    Forgive the interruption.


    On this special day, my youngest son Wades engagement banquet, Id like to take this chance to address how my assets will be divided.
