?<strong>Chapter 668:</strong>
Yet Esteban didn’t even spare a nce at Mara. He knew her too well—self-absorbed and terrified of death, she would never truly follow through on such a threat.
Dane, noticing Esteban’s indifference,manded the bodyguards to remove her from the scene. At the same moment, the police arrived to escort Jada away as well.
Jada wailed and pleaded, but sadly, no one seemed to pay her any mind. As they were taken away, a profound silence enveloped the room.
Susan cast a sympathetic nce at Esteban. To her surprise, his expression softened noticeably. He turned to her, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “I have never cheated on your mother,” he dered, his tone lighter, as if a great weight had been lifted. Instantly, Susan’s eyes filled with tears.
A wave of heartache washed over her.
Her father had always harbored deep love for both her and her mother, yet she had been blind to it, even harboring resentment due to the deceitful words of others.
Susan couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. “Yes, Dad, it’s my fault. I should have talked to you properly sooner.”
“Oh, my silly child, it’s my fault too. You were so young back then, and I didn’t take proper care of you,” Esteban replied gently.
Dane and Madisyn quietly slipped out of the room to give them some space.
Once outside, Dane turned to Madisyn and said, “Madisyn, you’re getting engaged tomorrow. You should head back now.”
Madisyn nodded. “Alright, you stay here with Susan.”
“Okay,” Dane replied, arranging for a bodyguard to escort Madisyn home.
On the way, Madisyn sent a message to Andrew, but he seemed preupied and didn’t reply.
She gazed out at the warm glow of the streetlights, a slight smile ying on her lips. They were getting engaged!
The next day, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.
The most luxurious hotel in Ansport was adorned with vibrant banners and twinkling lights, while a fleet of luxury cars lined the entrance. The grand hall, with its gleaming marble floors and towering chandeliers, looked nothing short of spectacr.
Today marked the highly anticipated engagement party of the Johns and Klein families, two of the most influential and powerful families in the city. Naturally, it attracted a great deal of attention.
The engagement party radiated romance and a dreamlike quality. Madisyn moved gracefully through the crowd, entertaining guests. Her parents stood proudly beside her with Damari, who was beaming. Everyone showered him withpliments. Today, he epted all the praise, chatting happily with everyone.
Everyone was convinced that Damari was satisfied with the engagement.
However, as the celebration continued, some guests couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss. After all, they had been there for a while, yet Andrew was nowhere to be seen.
