Chapter 644 - 643: The Troublemakers Arrive
Sean Lockwood understood. Before he and Zoe Quinn were dragged away, he saw Ethan Grant in a suit, smiling as he escorted Serena Sullivan away.
On the way out, they heard guests talking and realized that the engagement party hosts were Ethan Grant and the Eldest Miss Sterling.
Ethan Grant’s deep love for Serena Sullivan was no secret in Solaria.
So the Eldest Miss Sterling is Serena Sullivan!
Zoe Quinn could not handle this blow, crying endlessly in Sean Lockwood’s embrace, while Sean showed a somber face, clearly in a bad mood.
It wasn’t just being kicked out of the party but also seeing Carter Lockwood and Anna Morgan acting intimately.
The commotion between these two in the hotel lobby did not cause much stir; everyone’s attention was still on The Sterling Family.
Inside the engagement party, the guests gathered in droves, indicating The Sterling Family highly valued Nancy Sterling and Ethan Grant’s engagement.
Someone said it was because of Ethan Grant.
The Grant Family was not a prominent clan in the Imperial Capital, but their reputation and strength couldn’t be underestimated. The union between The Sterling Family and The Grant Family was truly a marriage of power.
Someone mentioned another daughter from The Sterling Family.
Before Nancy Sterling appeared, Felicity Sterling was The Sterling Family’s only daughter. She was beautiful, elegant, and gentle, exemplary for all noble daughters, and the object of pursuit by young noble men. There were even rumors that The Sterling Family intended to marry her to Ethan Grant.
Previously, Simon Sterling and his wife even brought people to Solaria to meet The Grant Family elders.
But after a turn of events, Nancy Sterling, James Sterling’s illegitimate daughter, will marry Ethan Grant.
They observed June Kane accompanying Felicity Sterling at the banquet, socializing with guests. June Kane maintained the demeanor of a Sterling family matriarch, smiling and conversing with guests.
No one could tell she secretly harbored intense hatred, a murderous rage, only showing her true expression when no one was watching.
Her warm hospitality led guests to believe the past conflicts between The Sterling and Kane families must have been fake or they had reconciled.
However, when the engagement began, the Kane Family did not appear.
The Kane Family’s presence or absence did not concern Serena Sullivan as she took to the stage, searching for Claire Sullivan but couldn’t find her.
Claire Sullivan did not respond to her messages, likely unwilling to come to the Imperial Capital to attend her and Ethan Grant’s engagement party.
It’s no issue, as they plan to return to Solaria to have another wedding.
As the engagement began, Ethan Grant was more tense than at their wedding in Solaria, having dropped the engagement ring twice.
Serena Sullivan laughed, watching Ethan Grant carefully and earnestly slide the ring onto her finger, her smile growing wider.
Their long-awaited union was hard-fought; it was both painful and joyous.
As Ethan rose, his eyes fell on Serena’s legs. He reached out to touch her hair, then leaned in and kissed her lips.
Happiness was so near to them, yet seemed to be slipping away.
No matter how the later surgery would go, he was determined to be with her to the end.
The engagement ceremony concluded amidst thunderous applause. Despite the Eldest Miss Sterling’s legs being incapacitated, none mocked her at the party; only blessings were offered.
"Why start without waiting for me!"
An old, cold voice came from behind; the sparse applause instantly died, as all guests turned their heads to see the Kane family’s matriarch slowly approaching with her family.
The host did not invite the Kane Family to today’s engagement party.
Yet, the arrival of the Kane Family was not unexpected.
"In-law, why not invite our Kane Family to such a grand celebration?"
