The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 453

Ashton was in his forties. Melissa was in her twenties. He was way much older than her. Shane announced the engagement without warning for the sake of profit!

Keith raged and stood up on the spot to glare at Shane who was on stage.

Lyra was also shocked and tried to stop it but it was too late when she reached out.

"Shane, Melissa and I are in love. And we came to you tonight to talk about getting engaged. But you let her get engaged to Ashton. You haven't said a word about it. What the hell do you mean?"

The guests were about to applaud and congratulate, when they saw that the atmosphere was not right. Everyone was silent.

The flashlights surrounded him and reporters took photos of him.

The man who could control half of the entertainment industry was in a relationship with Melissa, the top actress?

From what he said, the two were not recently in love.

Shane laughed slightly in the gloomy atmosphere, "When did you and Melissa fall in love? How come I didn't know? Besides, Melissa is in agreement with the engagement to Mr. Ashton tonight."

"What did you say?"

Keith wrinkled his brows as the chill raged.

How could Melissa have agreed to be engaged to Ashton? He didn't believe it.

"Where's Melissa? I want to see her!"

Shane met his gaze distantly and did not speak.

Lyra followed and stood up, "Mr. Shane, tonight is Melissa's return party. She is the main character, but has not appeared until now. Is it good? What are you going to do?"

The party started with a singing and dancing session by the popular group, and then Shane came on stage to speak before announcing the engagement. All was arranged to distract a lot of people's attention.

When Lyra said this, many people at the scene only realized that Melissa, as the main character of the party, did not make a stunning appearing on the scene?

Shane smiled while remaining calm, "I was planning to make a grand introduction to Melissa after announcing the engagement, but I was interrupted by you. So it's delayed."

He waved his fingers behind him, and Melissa appeared on the stairs outside the villa's second floor in a long, snow-white, diamond-encrusted, and noble gown.

Under the spotlight, her makeup was exquisite. With a crystal crown, she was beautiful like a little princess, but the light in her eyes was not innocent and clear as before.

She held onto the railing and slowly walked down the stairs.

Her gesture was elegant and noble, just like the true daughter of the rich family's style.

All people focused on her, and Keith looked at her with enthusiasm.

She took one step to the stage and stood side by side with Shane. Being meek and obedient, she smiled but did not even look at Keith.

Keith's eyes were red and his voice trembled slightly as he called out to her, "Melissa, do you remember the deal we made not too long ago? Did you really agree to marry Ashton in the future?"

It was then that Melissa looked at him.

The scene was unbelievably quiet as everyone stared at her, waiting for her answer.

Her voice was calm, without rising or falling, "Yes, I agreed to be with Mr. Ashton."

With what she said, Keith felt suffocated and could barely breathe.

"Why..."

Melissa's red lips pursed gently as she stopped talking and didn't look at Keith.

Having been together for a year, Keith knew every move she made and every look she gave. And he noticed that she was not in the right state with his sharp eyes.

"Shane, did you do something to her? She never looks at me in such a cold way."

Shane laughed, "You're joking. It's my sister's choice. How could I force her?"

Keith didn't believe it at all, but got emotional with his scarlet eyes fixing on the stage.
