Chapter 943

Chapter 949:
Bettina stood by his side as they bid farewell to the guests, offering apologies and explaining the unexpected turn of events.
She shared that Milton had to embark on an urgent business trip due to an unforeseen emergency, leading to the cancellation of the engagement party.
After the last guest had left, the couple glanced around the now-empty banquet hall, feeling a sense of desolation.
Bettina’s emotions got the better of her, and she sank weakly to the ground.
In a fit of frustration, she ruffled her hair, expressing her exasperation. “It’s crazy! Ridiculous! Fortunately, I only invited my brother, and he’s the only media representative. He’ll keep this matter discreet, and it won’t spread beyond those present. Otherwise, I shudder to think of the consequences if it becomes public knowledge.”
Bettina’s irritation turned toward Raul as she landed a hard hit on his chest, seeking answers. “What’s wrong with Mr. Lopez? How could you have been oblivious to all this? Aren’t you supposed to be his best friend?”
Raul shook his head, admitting he was clueless about the details of the situation.
However, an unsettling intuition gnawed at him, suggesting that the reality might be worse than they initially perceived.
A sense of foreboding left him uncertain about the challenges that lay ahead.
Meanwhile, outside Harewia, Candice rushed across the road, trying to hail a cab. However, the club’s location was too remote, and there were rarely any cabs in the area.
Candice didn’t notice a black Maybach parked some distance away.
It was Greyson’s. He was leaning against his car, smoking cigarette after cigarette. Several cigarette butts had already piled on the ground. At this moment, his mood was extremely irritable. Since he hadn’t received an invitation, he smoked on the roadside to vent his anger. He hadn’t expected Candice to be engaged so soon. His heart ached unbearably, and he didn’t know how he could stop her from leaving him.
𝖂𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖎𝖙 𝖈𝖆𝖒𝖊 𝖋𝖗𝖔𝖒:
His eyes fixed on the glowing ember of the cigarette.
Suddenly, he noticed Candice rushing over from the other side of the road. The cold wind blew against her dress, disheveling her hair. She seemed anxious. Was she looking for a cab?
He was momentarily stunned. After regaining his senses, he threw the cigarette away and ran towards her.
He was shocked. Something unexpected must have happened. Did Sigrid manage to interfere? Did she really stop Milton and Candice’s engagement?
The dark night was extraordinarily quiet, and the atmosphere felt oppressive.
All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, lighting up the surroundings. Thunder rumbled continuously.
The weather was strange for winter. Was it a bad omen?
Seeing Candice in a panic, Greyson didn’t know if he should feel excited or heartbroken.
