Chapter 319 His Indulgence Shocks Everyone
Remington held the high heels and suddenly knelt in front of Cecelia, preparing to put the shoes on for her.
"Ah, no, what are you doing, Mr. Nelson?"
"Mr. Nelson, a man should has his dignity. How can you kneel down for your ex-wife?"
The eyes of the onlookers almost popped out of their heads, and they were all shocked by Remington's actions.
He actually knelt down to help Cecelia put on her shoes?
It was hard to imagine that someone as powerful and mighty as him, a scion of an elite family and a giant in the business world, would stoop for a woman.
Winnie, who saw this scene, felt envy so intense that her eyes were about to pop out. Camelia wanted to poke her own eyes out and stop watching this public display of affection.
Petunia could no longer feel smug. She had hoped to embarrass Cecelia, but she never expected that Remington's actions would be a devastating blow to her ego.
The only person in the room who was genuinely moved was Cecelia herself. She had never expected that Remington would kneel in front of her and personally put on her shoes in front of everyone.
He disregarded the world's judgment, and his hundred-percent doting on her had truly melted her heart.
Ignoring the discussions and comments about him, Remington gently placed the diamond-studded shoes on Cecelia's feet. The high heels seemed to be tailor-made for her, and when worn on her delicate feet, the effect was incredibly mesmerizing.
On the side, Jersey couldn't help but be slightly moved when he saw Cecelia's beautiful and dainty feet. No one knew that he had a fetish for organs, and seeing something beautiful always stirred his perverse thoughts.
Cecelia's feet could truly be called a top-notch work of art!
The reason why the women around were going crazy wasn't just because they saw such beautiful shoes but also because of Remington's gesture of kneeling to help Cecelia put them on.
The rumored ice-cold king was unexpectedly gentle?
Did he really need to be so extravagant with his affection for his ex-wife?
All the women present turned into jealous, and their discussions were filled with sarcasm.
"Mr. Nelson actually knelt down to help her put on shoes! Do they really need to show off like this?"
"Mr. Nelson has really lowered himself. Helping an ex-wife put on shoes-what kind of behavior is this?"
"I hope Mr. Nelson can come to his senses. There are plenty of good women in the world. Why does he have to hang himself on one tree?"
After Cecelia had changed into the new shoes, Remington stood up while holding her hand and asked, "How does it feel? Are they comfortable?"
"They fit perfectly. Thank you," Cecelia replied.
Cecelia and Remington exchanged a glance, and even her usually cold gaze revealed a hint of shy affection that was hard for others to notice.
She then turned to look at Jersey, her eyes clear and cool, but her heart was filled with complex emotions.
When the banquet ended, she would find an opportunity to confront Jersey face to face.
Jersey watched quietly, finally understanding why he couldn't win Cecelia's heart. Perhaps it was because he couldn't be as wholehearted as Remington.
That was something he lacked!
All the expected guests had arrived, and by now, the cruise ship had sailed into deeper waters.
The guests took their seats according to the nameplates on the tables. Remington's good friends, Rupert and Sam, also arrived and greeted him.
Even Roger came over and said, "Mr. Nelson, Miss Cecelia, nice to see you again."
"Captain Shawn, you're here too. It's a rare sight!"
Cecelia nodded with a smile and looked at his wife Winnie. Winnie turned her face away, ignoring Cecelia.
Seeing his wife's reaction, Roger had no choice but to greet everyone. Winnie immediately pulled him away, not wanting her husband to exchange a single word with Cecelia.
Soon, the music at the venue changed, and the emcee took the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, welcome to tonight's cruise banquet. Next, we have Mr. Bowman, the International CEO of the Bowman Group, to address the audience. Welcome!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause as the emcee invited Jersey to the stage.
Jersey turned and walked up to the stage, delivering his opening welcome speech, thanking all the invited guests for attending the banquet.
He briefly introduced the history of the Bowman Group 's development and the long-term plans for their presence in the Cathail Republic.
Concluding his speech, Jersey announced, "Next, we will begin the dinner segment. I hope everyone enjoys the meal. After the dinner, there will be a dance. I hope everyone has a pleasant evening!"
In the banquet hall, glasses clinked, and Jersey was approached by many to offer toasts.
When the dinner concluded, the Bowman Group presented a large cake, symbolizing their bright future.
The emcee announced to the audience, "It's time to cut the cake! We would like to invite two ladies to join our CEO in cutting this cake! The spotlight will shine on the chosen ladies, so please come forward!"
Overhead spotlights began to scan the room, and the women were excited and hopeful, wishing to be selected.
The first spotlight stopped with its music, landing directly on Petunia's head.
Petunia was surprised to be the first one chosen and stood up with excitement, while other women looked at her with envy.
Amidst the attention of the crowd, Petunia stepped onto the stage.
The second spotlight scanned the room, and when the music stopped, it fell on Cecelia.
Many people thought that selecting Cecelia was a mistake. Why choose her?
Wasn't she already in the spotlight tonight?
Remington probably had an inkling that the spotlight selection wasn't random but predetermined.
He also suspected that it might be Jersey's deliberate move, as he wanted to get close to Cecelia through this method.
Since Cecelia was chosen, Remington had no objections and even encouraged her to participate.
Both women stood on the stage, dressed similarly, which naturally led to comparisons from the audience.
Comparison led to shame and harm. Under the spotlight, it was clear who had the more outstanding and dazzling figure.
Petunia, wearing a high-quality imitation, unintentionally became a foil to Cecelia. She felt nauseated and knew she had to find a way to steal Cecelia's thunder.
It was time to cut the cake. Jersey took the stage, and he, along with Cecelia and Petunia, each held a knife. In the emcee's command, they together cut the cake.
The crowd burst into applause, and fireworks lit up the scene.
After cutting the cake, Cecelia put down her knife, ready to leave the stage. However, Petunia suddenly spoke up, "Miss Linsey, please stay! Mr. Bowman, tonight, in celebration of the Bowman Group 's arrival in the Cathail Republic, both Miss Cecelia and I have prepared a performance!"
Upon hearing this, Cecelia furrowed her eyebrows slightly and cast a cold gaze at Petunia, wondering what trap she had set for her.
