Chapter 1254
Just as Kane was about to speak, a voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.
"Excuse me, folks. Due to Ms. Chloe''s sudden cancetion of her wedding feast today, the venue is
taken over by the Harper family to celebrate the engagement of my grandson, Damon, and thedy
from the Alonso family"
As soon as this was said, all eyes were focused on the stage. Hearing Presley''s words, Wendy felt
both nervous and excited. The moment she had been waiting for was finally here!
Once her identity was publicly announced, and this night was over, the life she had always dreamed
of would be waiting for her.
“Is that...Presley?"
“Yep, it''s his grandson''s engagement party. Of course, he''d be here."
“But...did Ms. Chloe’ engagement party really get called off?
What the hell happened?"
“Yeah, I was looking forward to it for so long. Thought today I''d finally find out who Ms. Chloe''s
fiancé is, but the wedding was canceled. Such a bummer"
“But crashing the Harper Group CEO''s engagement party isn''t too shabby."
Presley looked at the crowd below, smiling amiably. “I''m sure you all know that the Harper family
and the Alonso family have always been close. Damon and Wendy being together is just a natural
thing. Seeing them finally end up together is a sight I relish. Tonight''s engagement was ast-
minute decision, but since you''re all here, we can''t let you go home disappointed. Please, enjoy
yourselves!"
“God! This old man really has guts!” Kane, in a fury, turned around and stomped towards the stage!
What the hell was going on?!
Angie stomped her foot in frustration. "What on earth is Grandpa doing?! He''s stirring up a mess
here, will Damon even ept this?
Hans chuckled coldly. “Damon might not ept it, but Chloe definitely got screwed over tonight.
This kind of thing is irreparable. Even if you strike back, the damage has been done, it''s just a lose-
lose situation."
Presley standing on the stage, easily spotted the raging Kane storming towards him. He squinted
his eyes and made a quick gesture to the side; immediately, two men quickly stepped in front of
Kane to stop him.
“Mr. Ziems, your seat is at the back."
“Get lost!” Kane shoved one of them away!
Thismotion drew the attention of a few people nearby.
Presley frowned, wanting to have Kane forcibly removed, but Kane shouted, "Who said Damen is
getting engaged to that woman?!"
Everyone was confused. "What''s going on?"
Seeing the buzz in the crowd, Presley said emotionlessly, "I just received the news that Damon
might not be able to attend the engagement party tonight due to somest-minute issues.
Thankfully, we didn''t n to make a big deal out of this engagement..."
Kane had the demeanor of a spoiled young aristocrat, but he had a deep respect for the elderly,
especially for Damon''s grandfather. However, today he was truly infuriated by this old man!
“Do you think we''re fools?! If you knew he couldn''t attend, why did you announce the
engagement?!"
Not only Presley but Wendy and Grace also started to get nervous. This was indeed something they
wanted to keep under wraps, why announce the engagement all of a sudden?
Of course, it had to be ast-minute announcement.
Otherwise, if Damon found out, he would only rush home more urgently. And Chloe, they had to
admit, was clever. If they had announced it in advance, they couldn''t guarantee that Chloe wouldn''t
have an opposing n. So they had to announce it at thest minute, catching her off guard,
preventing her from having the time and energy to do anything to stop them.
Presley was very careful about this; even Wendy only found out at thest minute. However, when
this issue was raised, naturally people would have doubts.
“Yes, Ms. Alonso did say Damon might not be able to attend. If he can''t attend, then why not cancel
the engagement?"
Wendy started to feel nervous. “Well...we already set the engagement date a while ago, we can''t
just change it easily.
I."
Her stuttering and inability to find a convincing reason made her extremely anxious, almost to the
point of crying. But because of her seemingly helpless and almost crying state, she appeared to
others as a pitiful woman.
“So that''s why!"
Before she could finish, people around her seemed to really understand her feelings and started
nodding in agreement.
“Ms. Alonso is really unfortunate. After all, this is one of the most important days in a person''s life,
and her fiancé isn''t here. That''s hard on anyone!"
“It''s not just hard, there are only a few important days in a woman''s life, which should be the most
beautiful memories, but now it''s turned into this."
"Ms. Alonso, don''t be too upset, we understand..."
Thedy of the Alonso family, the futuredy of the Harper family, either of these titles was enough
to earn people''s respect, especially now, when these two identities werebined.
Wendy didn''t expect people to y along with her. She was stunned for a moment, then put on a
face of grief and sadness, bit her lip, and shook her head stubbornly, but tears fell immediately.
“Lunderstand Mr. Harper wants toe to his own engagement party, but he must be held back by
something.
I believe he''s suffering more than me..."
“Ah, Ms. Alonso is really understanding..."
Wendy smirked. No wonder women liked to y weak and y kind. It turned out these people
really liked this. She sneered inside, so these things were actually so simple.

“Wendy"
Just as she was feeling smug, a soft voice suddenly came.
When she saw Phoebe pulling Angie standing next to her, Wendy''s eyebrows knitted slightly.
Grace decided to confront Phoebe, her expression as cold as ice. "Why are you here? Who told you
toe? Why didn''t you tell me you''reing to P City?"
Angie, who was standing nearby, saw this woman who had always been cold towards Phoebe and
retorted angrily, “Isn''t Wendy getting engaged today? What''s wrong with Phoebeing to her own
sister''s engagement party? Or are you saying, you don''t consider Phoebe a part of the Alonso
family?"
Grace''s expression changed instantly. A myriad of emotions crossed her face before she managed
to squeeze out a gentle smile.
