Chapter 124 – The birthday announcement
As the situation changed, Carole stepped forward and took the microphone from Farah’s hand.
She said, “Dear guests, long time no see. I’m Carole. Thank you for coming to my daughter’s birthday party. I have two things to announce. The first one is about my daughter-in-law’s identity. I’m sorry, the last time the child made a fool of herself, I made a joke. But the child has her own considerations, so we don’t intend to make it public. I believe you won’t tell others about her identity. Second, thank you for today’s engagement.”
Not only the guests were stunned at Farah’s engagement banquet, but even Nicole was stunned as well. Who was that fiancee?
“Oh, there’s no need to guess. It’s just James, okay? There are photos of Farah and James Garcia on the projection cloth in front of us.”
James suddenly felt as if he had been struck by an electric shock. It was obvious that he had also thought of this point, and his face immediately turned pale.
When Farah confessed to him just now, he could refuse her. But now, both of their parents are here.
Even Stephanie gave him a push. “James, go ahead.”
James paused for a moment. He had never thought that Stephanie would do this. “Sister, you…”
“Farah has been waiting for you.” Stephanie only slightly reminded her.
James instantly understood that everyone knew that he was the only one who had been kept in the dark, and even his parents had appeared.
Stephanie whispered, “If you don’t want your parents to lose face, go quickly.”
Next to him, Farah had already looked at James with deep affection and expectation in her eyes. She was waiting for him to go up to the high platform with her hand in hand and accept the blessings of everyone.
James narrowed his black eyes, which contained a kind of danger and storm that had never been seen before. Even the reflected cloth in front of him began to roll those photos again.
Those photos were enough to provoke any childhood sweetheart who grew up with her.
There were still so many guests present. How could he make a girl lose face over the twenty years of friendship and the time limit of his parents?
James felt as if his throat was blocked. He felt that he had been pushed to the edge of the cliff. In front of him was a high cliff, and behind him was a rich tiger and leopard. He had never thought that one day, he would be driven away like a duck.
Farah was still waiting for him, but he could not take a single step. Farah’s face changed slightly. Didn’t he want to?
Perhaps this was what all the people present were thinking.
Because Nicole saw a look of unwillingness on James’s face. Even if he did it well, anger still emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Nicole was a little surprised. But on the other side, his father whispered in his ear. Before James walked toward Farah step by step like a walking dead.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people who didn’t know the truth were shocked by the sudden news, but they also felt that it was really appropriate for a man and a woman to be so beautiful. It was good to have such a surprise.
James finally came to Farah’s side. She put her hand into his arms. James stood straight and stiff, but Farah once had a smile on her face in her beautiful fantasy. She did not realize that James’s heart was full of troops and horses.
She only knew that her wish would soon come true. She was really engaged to James Garcia!
An unexpected engagement ceremony was held.
All the people present were excited and felt that such a combination was expected by the public. However, from James’s eyes, Nicole saw that they were willing to submit! Yes, he was not willing to, but was forced to submit.
Even though she thought that James and Farah were a perfect match for each other, she was worried about such a forced combination.
She looked at the two people on the stage. Farah smiled like a flower, while James was expressionless. He couldn’t help worrying about Farah’s future.
However, it was obvious that the man next to her misunderstood her meaning. “Why are you unwilling?”
Cold sarcasm passed by Nicole’s ears. She was stunned, looked away, and looked at Kevin. He was also in the stand with the new recruits, but apparently, he was talking to her.
She curled her lip and couldn’t help but pinch his arm. “Tell me, did Mr. Garcia not know it before? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have looked like that.”
Kevin frowned slightly. “Is this something you should care about?”
He finally lowered his head, and Nicole had seen a thick dark fire in his eyes.
Nicole was stunned, but she felt a little funny. “I was just concerned about your sister, so I forced her to come here.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Having noticed Kevin’s displeasure, she did not say anything after all. But she also believed that James was a man in charge of the business. Since they were engaged, she only hoped that they were all safe, so she immediately changed her words. “I wish them good luck.”
This was what Kevin had told her before. James would soon become the person he couldn’t touch.
She suddenly became James’s sister-in-law. This relationship was really good enough.
“It’s best if you know yourself well.” Kevin’s voice was still cold, but it was not as tough as before.
Nicole approached him and laughed in a low voice, “Are you old enough to be jealous?”
What an interesting discovery.
Therefore, even if she was stared at by Kevin later, she still looked fearless.
After all, she was still aiming at him. In fact, he was just a paper tiger.
However, she soon realized how wrong she was. How could Kevin be a paper tiger? He was more real than a real tiger.
The engagement ceremony had finally come to an end.
Nicole smiled obsequiously for the whole night, and the corners of her mouth were a little stiff.
It was originally Kevin’s manor, so after the other guests left, only the George family and Garcia family were left. They sat on the sofa in the living room, looking a little tired.
The servant was busy tidying up the mess on the ground. Farah leaned on James’s shoulder, which was hard to hide her shyness. The little woman was very delicate. It could be seen that she was really happy.
Nicole also leaned against Kevin and drank some wine. She was a little dizzy and sleepy, but she had been trying hard to keep awake.
However, when she couldn’t help it, she leaned against Kevin’s shoulder and wanted to squint for a while.
However, a cold gaze from the opposite side made her suddenly feel sleepy and wake up after a quiver.
Kevin also noticed it and looked down at her. Nicole hurriedly withdrew her hand and shook her head. “It’s okay.”
But his hand fell on her shoulder and forced her to lean her head on his shoulder. “If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while. I’ll call you if you go upstairs.”
Nicole was absolutely sure that Kevin was putting on a show for others, especially the brother and sister Garcia on the opposite side.
Stephanie’s burning eyes seemed to burn two holes on her body, which made Nicole feel that her head was attached to Kevin’s belt and it was dangerous for her head to fall to the ground at any time.
Indeed, Stephanie had an impulse to cut Nicole into pieces. She never thought that the ugly woman of that day was Nicole’s annual salary.
The most important thing was that she occupied Mrs. George’s position and status.
