Chapter 496: Ridiculous
The waves of long hair half-down, half-up, carried a lazy allure with elegance. The fine and delicate arches of distant mountain brows should have been the highlight, yet their charm was stolen by the pair of captivating eyes. The eyes, slightly tinged with a reddish hue at the corners, seemed to hold infinite springtime allure. Those moist eyes were even brighter than a sky full of stars, crystal clear without any impurities, exuding endless charm and captivation as they shifted gently.A delicate, high-bridged nose and slightly parted cherry lips radiated a hint of a happy smile, spreading like the warmth of March sunshine, adding a layer of soft allure to her bold beauty.
The two people, the man cold and handsome, the woman glamorous and striking, stood together. The white and red of their attire complemented each other so perfectly, it seemed as if they were originally one.
After a brief moment of shock, netizens frantically started posting.
"Ahhhh... I want both the man and the woman! I want them both!!!!"
"Whoa, isn’t that Sophie Wilson?"
"Yeah, yeah! So Sophie looks so gorgeous in a formal gown! She’s stunning!"
Amidst the chorus of admiration, finally a timid netizen posed a question: "Speaking of which, why are Sophie Wilson and that man appearing here? It looks like they’re getting married."
"Marriage would involve a white dress, right? Didn’t you see that Sophie Wilson is wearing a red gown? It’s more like an engagement."
Following this post, the internet fell silent for a moment, and it took a full two minutes before someone plucked up the courage to post: "So... is the banquet hall on the ninth floor hosting the engagement of Sophie Wilson and her boyfriend?"
"Not impossible. Isn’t Sophie Wilson’s boyfriend Charles Seymour? He’s also a member of the Seymour Family."
"No way, Charles Seymour and James Reed getting engaged on the same day? Did the brothers crash the date?"
"Hey, don’t talk about brothers. Ethan Seymour has already publicly severed ties with Charles Seymour."
"Hmmm... I don’t mean anything by it, I just want to ask if Ethan Seymour knows that his disowned son can hold his engagement party on the ninth floor?"
"Haha... He definitely doesn’t know. Didn’t you see that Ethan Seymour’s most beloved son, James Reed, can only hold his engagement party on the eighth floor? If Ethan had that kind of power, he would have moved James’ engagement to the ninth floor ages ago."
"So, can someone tell me why Sophie Wilson and Charles Seymour can hold their engagement on the ninth floor? Which of them is the hidden big shot?"
"No idea. Sophie Wilson just has a decoration company, and Charles Seymour only lives off the Seymour Family’s dividends, right?"
"You dummy! I said they’re hidden big shots. Surely they have other identities. Otherwise, how else could they hold an engagement party on the ninth floor? Plus, they’ve invited so many big shots. Are those ordinary people?"
The discussions online were fervent, while the guests at James Reed’s engagement were almost going mad.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Ethan Seymour and Charles Seymour, which was beyond bad; it was downright mutual loathing.
The issue was that Charles Seymour, who had been publicly disowned by Ethan Seymour, was holding an engagement party above them in the Imperial Hotel, inviting all sorts of industry big shots.
Suddenly, the once-public act of disownment by Ethan Seymour seemed utterly laughable.
It was like a beggar wallowing in a gutter jumping up and shouting at a king on his throne: "Let me tell you, I don’t recognize you, so stop taking advantage of me in the future."
That feeling... Pfft...
Someone at the venue couldn’t hold back any longer and laughed aloud.
Fortunately, the laugh wasn’t too loud, and the person quickly stifled their laughter.
