All of a sudden, everyone looked in that direction.
Colton felt his scalp numb. Tonight's events were completely out of his control. He would never have thought that his daughter, who had been so docile since she was a child and only occasionally dressed up as a man to hang out outside, would be so rebellious and disobedient.
Tonight was the engagement party for the Knights and the Gablehausers, and so many respectable, powerful people from the upper class were here. But they actually made such a scene. This was so humiliating! He could imagine how bad the Knights 's reputation would be after tonight, and how deep their feud with the Knights would be.
If he had known this would happen tonight, he would hope that he had never proposed this marriage.
Of course, there was also a method to save the reputation of the Knights . To do that, his daughter's so-called boyfriend should be a big shot with a powerful background, and he should be much nobler than Martin. Only in this way could the face of the Knights be saved.
But was this possible? It was not!
It was simple. But if his daughter's boyfriend was really a big shot, how could he be so low-key? How could he tolerate his woman getting engaged to other men? Nonsense.
So at this moment, Colton was in a really bad mood. He had never been in such a bad mood before.
Blaze's face had turned livid and extremely bad. Anyone could tell that he was on the verge of collapse and would explode at any moment. That was reasonable. Blaze could be called a very powerful person in this city. He was so humiliated, but he didn't lose his temper on the spot. It could be said that he had a good temper!
Martin had a creepy smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to emit a dim fire, which was very scary.
As Kaylie finished speaking, the room was silent, and no one made a sound. They were all waiting for Kaylie to say who her mysterious boyfriend was.
However, after five seconds of Kaylie's words, there was still no response, and the venue was still eerily quiet.
"Eh? What happened? Where's Kaylie's boyfriend? He didn't show up."
"Yes. Did he run away already?"
"I think it's possible. Some people are at daggers drawn. How dare he show up? He will be eaten alive by the Gablehausers."
"Kaylie has been deceived. Why didn't she just marry Martin? I don't know why she got a boyfriend outside."
"It's said that beautiful women are not very intelligent. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"This is interesting. From now on, the two families will definitely have a grudge..."
Such comments could be heard everywhere and reached Kaylie's ears, making her feel particularly uncomfortable. Her nose grew sorer and sorer, and her eyes turned red.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented grievance and really wanted to cry, but she held it back.
She began to accept the fact that Tom had really abandoned her and left. In the end, she lost and became a joke.
The change of her expression was noticed by Martin. He immediately smiled gloatingly and aggressively. "What? Your boyfriend left and didn't dare to come out?"
Kaylie bit her lips and did not speak.
