Holding Cayden's arm, Nicole strutted along the red carpet into the event ballroom like an arrogant princess.
The ballroom was filled with well-dressed guests chatting away with each other.
Cayden responded to the greetings of the esteemed guests with a graceful smile on his lips, nodding in acknowledgment to each one of them.
Hearing their congratulatory words, he pursed his lips before curling them into a smirk.
Cameras flashed incessantly in the hotel, eager to capture every intimate moment between the two female and male leads that would mark the beginning of their marriage of convenience, which would further bind both families together.
The members of the Moore and Lambert families were seated, their faces displaying a palpable sense of joy and satisfaction.
Jeffrey was clad in a dark blue traditional outfit. He looked especially eager and delighted to be here.
At first, Jeffrey believed that the negotiations the night before had failed, and he expected his grandson to refuse to get engaged to the daughter of the Lambert family. As a result, he flew into a fit of rage.
Jeffrey was accustomed to being in control, and he was already planning to use despicable means to force Cayden to comply with his wishes.
He viewed the marriage of convenience between the Moore family and the Lambert family as being beneficial to both parties. As such, he was unwilling to let Cayden's feelings for Avery jeopardize the union.
However, just as Jeffrey was about to put his plan into action by asking his men to take action, Cayden surprised him by returning home and claiming that he had thought things through. Cayden explained that he had come to the realization that the marriage of convenience between the Moore and Lambert families would be beneficial, so he had decided to get engaged to Nicole after all.
Naturally, Jeffrey was delighted.
The only person who was upset at the party was Claire.
She observed the handsome Cayden thoughtfully.
Cayden was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, making him look even more handsome and poised than usual. stood out from the rest of the crowd.
However, Claire had a bad feeling as her right eyelid kept twitching.
Her daughter, Nicole, was holding onto Cayden's arm and looked completely enamored. She was beaming with joy as if nothing could be more perfect than being engaged to him.
Nevertheless, Cayden's attitude was the exact opposite. It was his engagement party, but he bore an indifferent expression and didn't even bother smiling.
She knew that Cayden wasn't a suitable partner for Nicole.
Alas, Nicole was obsessed with him, and she refused to give up no matter what she said.
Claire released a deep sigh, filled with worry. As Nicole's mother, she could only hope that Cayden wouldn't break her daughter's heart. She vowed to support Nicole in any way possible to ensure she wouldn't be mistreated within the Moore family.
Soon, Cayden and Nicole walked onto the stage in the middle of the ballroom.
The stage was adorned with a plethora of fresh flowers, and there was a gold microphone set up in the center.
The host of the ceremony was a popular host in Ackleton.
He began his speech with words of congratulations, using his wit to elicit applause from the audience.
The host then handed the microphone to Cayden.
After shoving Nicole's arm away, Cayden walked over to the center of the stage.
His striking features were further enhanced under the bright lights, making him even more captivating to the eyes of those present.
