Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1400

The people in the hall suddenly fell silent as we waited for Arthur's speech.

Like us, everyone here was speculating about the purpose of the Morgan family's invitation.

Arthur cheerfully said, "Everyone here at this Morgan family gathering today are my dear friends and relatives. Perhaps you’re curious about why I invited you all here today?"

We all looked at each other, and someone loudly said, "Yes! Stop keeping us in suspense, Mr. Arthur! We've been trying to guess what this is all about!"

Arthur laughed heartily. He was clearly very happy.

Then he loudly declared, "I have some good news to announce! This is the engagement banquet of my daughter Mia Morgan and the son of the President of the Monora Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Leonard's son, Ernest Tomlinson!"

There was instantly an uproar, with people complaining, "This isn't right, Mr. Arthur! You should have told us this was such a big event. Look, we..."

"That's right, Mr. Arthur, you were wrong to do this!"

"We should have brought gifts! This is a big event! Congratulations!"

Arthur raised his hand to silence the crowd, "Thank you all! This is the first happy event for the Morgan family in many years!"

"Because of my official duties, I can’t throw a big party for my daughter's engagement, but I wanted everyone to share in my joy, so I held this little banquet for my friends and relatives to witness and share the Morgan family’s happiness!"

"Those who are here are my trusted confidants and family members. We won’t accept any gifts, of course. Let's just gather,have a good meal, and enjoy ourselves!"

The VIPs nodded in admiration, praising Arthur's integrity and congratulating him.

I glanced at Lauren and said, "So that’s why we haven't seen Mia."
