Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 714

Business magnates, real estate tycoons, and A-list celebrities alike gathered, each vying for a coveted invitation.

The streets were jammed with high-end cars, creating a traffic gridlock that made it nearly impossible to pass through.

The Royal Grand Hotel and the Maple Hotel were competitors, to begin with. Now their rivalry extended even to their security teams and ushers.

Each team was determined to outshine the other, their bespoke uniforms a testament to their competitive spirit. The underground parking lots had been expanded to accommodate the flood of guests.

From a distance, passersby whispered among themselves.

"Both families are throwing engagement parties today. Attending either will land you offending the other."

"I think the Nichols have the upper hand. They're the top dogs in Seamar City. Who would dare disrespect them?"

"I heard Mr. Houston Sr. spent over 100 million dollars on this engagement party."

"What? 100 million?"

No one had expected the Houstons to pull off such an extravagant event. And this was just an engagement party. Undoubtedly, the cost of the wedding would be sky-high.

Just then, two socialites stepped out of a luxury car. One of them, dressed in a black high-end gown, wrinkled her nose in disdain as she surveyed the grand entrance to the Royal Grand Hotel.

"Hmph, this Debra is nothing but a divorcée, and yet the Houstons think so highly of her."

Her companion, Cathryn, glanced at the massive engagement photos of Marion and Debra displayed at the hotel entrance. Jealousy clawed at her chest, a bitter taste filling her mouth.
