Chapter 465: The Engagement Ceremony

Seeing that two strong men standing in front of her, with their panting faces covered with sweat, Katrina knows she must have worried them.

Just now, before boarding the plane, she turned off her cell phone.

She didn't think they would be so anxious just for her absence all morning.

Maybe because these days her mood was really bad and she looked very terrible, which scared them a lot.

Katrina feels some unspeakable guilt.

Katrina lowers her head and apologizes in a low voice, "Sorry, I am sorry to have you worried again..."

She wanted to leave quietly and alone and contact them after the plane lands.

Who knows, there is a change during her plan.

Next time, if she plans to leave, even if she is embarra.s.sed and feels terrible...

She must tell them in order not to let them worry about her.

During this period of time, she really found them a lot of trouble.

After hearing Katrina's words, the two men wipe the sweat on their foreheads and shake their hands, "Miss Miller, it's OK if you are all right. You can appear safely, which is the best gift for us!"

Says the man, who has already walked over to help Katrina book her room, and another man helps Miss Miller carry her suitcase and escort her back to her room.

In a flash.

The day when Aaron and Annie are engaged has come.

On that day...

The whole Wilson family is incredibly busy.

Edward puts on a new suit, with a smile on his face. He seems even more serious than on New Year's Day.

After all, Edward has reached middle age, his biggest wish is to see his sons enter the hall of marriage and start a family.

Today, though, it's just a small engagement ceremony.

But Edward takes extra seriously.

Compared to Edward in joy...

Jane's smile seems stiff and perfunctory.

After all, if Aaron and Annie do get engaged, there is a good chance for Aaron that he will inherit the Wilson family.

She always worries that the Wilson family would be taken away by Aaron.

While Edward is adjusting his bow tie, Jane couldn't help whispering to Duke, "Duke, does your arrangement really count? Today will that girl come? Will she change her mind and suddenly stand us up!"

Now, they're all pinning their hopes on a woman they don't know very well.

They are waiting for the woman to come and make a scene to stop the engagement ceremony.

But if the woman doesn't come...

They have to watch Aaron and Annie get engaged.

Duke firmly promises, "Mom, you can rest a.s.sured, that woman will come certainly!"

Though he hasn't been with Katrina long, he can sense that...

She must love Aaron deeply.

Aaron was forced to get engaged to another woman...

If she doesn't come, the man she loves will belong to another woman completely.

So, with her affection for Aaron, he believes that she will come certainly.

At Duke's words, Jane nervously rubs her fingers, "I wish she would really come. Otherwise, we'll have to think of something else and make a plan B as soon as possible."

This engagement ceremony...

They couldn't allow it to go on so smoothly.

They have to do something to get Johnson's family to change their minds and get Annie to stop getting engaged to Aaron.

After Edward ties his bow tie, he twists his head and asks, "Is it good?"

Jane quickly puts away her nervousness and worry. She smiles and praises, "Edward, you look so energetic today. Those who do not know may think that the bridegroom-to-be is you!"

Hearing what Jane said...

Edward feigns anger, "Nonsense, I have been middle-aged... It's getting late. Let's hurry to the hotel. Don't let the Johnson family wait for us."

Edward says and quickly calls on all the staff, hurries to the hotel with a large group of people.

And right now...

Aaron has just changed his clothes and sets off alone from his private villa to the hotel.

And in his briefcase, there is a contract that will make Edward have absolutely no relationship with his company.

Only when he appears at the engagement ceremony does Edward agree to sign the contract.

So...

He has to attend today's engagement ceremony, and there is no escape.

Aaron is the last one to arrive at the hotel. The time is just appropriate, neither early nor late.

At this moment...

Annie has been waiting in the hotel for a long time.

After all, she loves Aaron so much.

She always dreams of marrying him.

So she arrives early, of course, for such an important engagement.

Edward waits anxiously for Aaron to get in.

When Edward sees him coming, his eyes light up, and he hurries to meet him, "Aaron, you're here. The engagement is about to begin. Miss Johnson has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Edward just finishes that...

Aaron has already taken a piece of paper out of his briefcase and hands it to him, "Dad, maybe you should sign this now that I'm here."

In such a grand occasion, Aaron so blatantly takes out a contract to let him sign...

At that moment, Edward is a little embarra.s.sed. "What can't we do after the engagement ceremony?" he whispers.

If Frank and Miss Johnson know that Aaron doesn't really want to accept this engagement, they will feel bitterly disappointed.

After all, Edward doesn't want to make things too terrible.

However...

Aaron looks at him as though he would not get engaged until he signs.

Well, now that Edward could threaten him to join the engagement ceremony with the company, why couldn't he force Edward to sign the contract before holding the engagement?

Edward finally picks up the contract and signs his name on it quickly.

Aaron then puts the contract into his briefcase, hands it to his a.s.sistant, and strides in.

Frank, who has seen the scene from a distance, asks doubtfully, "Edward, you are still in the mood for work at such an important moment."

Edward laughs and quickly changes the subject, "It's getting late, and we must hurry up and start the engagement ceremony. Don't keep the guests waiting!"

Frank nods in unison, "Yes, yes! Then, Edward, you make the announcement!"
