Chapter 882
The Shears had very high hopes for this engagement party and sent out invites beforehand to all the major families in Springfield
City, inviting them to witness this sacred union.
Not only were the Youngs, the Collins, and the Fields invited, but even Harold and Vincent, as well as many other members of
the elite society were here.
After a short while, Leon and Cynthia emerged onstage, their dazzling appearance instantly catching the eye. of the guests and
sending ripples of murmurs through the crowd. Standing next to each other in their most perfect, dressed–up selves, they looked
like a match made in heaven.
However, everyone’s attention was directed more toward Cynthia.
“She’s so beautiful!”
“No wonder she’s considered the second out of the Four Beauties here in this city. She looks like a goddess!”
“That’s right. Leon Wolf is a lucky, lucky man to have won over her heart!”
All the men among the audience were casting Leon looks of envy and jealousy.
Cynthia was one of the Four Beauties and naturally was the object of many men’s fancies. Most of her admirers were despaired
at the sight of her soon–to–be wedded off to another man.
If looks could kill, there was no doubt Leon would be dead by now!
With everyone gazing on fondly, Leon took Cynthia’s soft hand in his and led her down the red carpet, all the way to the stage.
Then, Harvey, who was dressed in a handsome white suit, followed closely behind and got on the stage with them. He was the
host of the day’s ceremony.
Meanwhile, Benedict and the rest of the Shears were sitting at the first table beneath the stage. When he noticed the time,
Benedict shot Harvey a meaningful look, indicating that he could commence the ceremony.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate your attending this joyous occasion despite your busy schedules. I speak on behalf of the
Shears and Leon Wolf when I say that thank you for joining us in witnessing this sacred union,” Harvey’s words of introduction
were met with thunderous applause from the crowd.
“Without further ado, the engagement ceremony shall begin! We are going to start with our first event, which is the exchanging of
engagement gifts from the soon–to–be bride and groom,” With that, Harvey put down the microphone and gave a round of
applause to start the festivities.
This event usually started with the exchanging of the dowry and the marriage certificate between the bride and
groom, which included clothing, money, and an array of other things. This was to signify the union of two souls, which would
encompass all aspects of their life spent together in the future.
Leon and Cynthia prepared in advance for this, and with the audience watching intently, the exchange proceeded smoothly as
planned.
“Our next event on the itinerary is the exchanging of engagement rings! First off, let us invite Mister Leon Wolf to put on Miss
Cynthia Shear’s ring,” Harvey beamed as he declared this. This was the most crucial event in an engagement party, and once
the rings were put on, this would signify that both parties were
effectively engaged!
“Rats! Not only is Cynthia one of the Four Beauties, but she’s even the heiress to the Shear family fortune. She’s no doubt one of
the most beautiful and powerful women in the city, and any man would be lucky to have her! I don’t understand how on earth
Leon Wolf even managed to win over her heart! He must be blessed beyond measure!”
“I agree! I, too, cannot understand any of this. I heard that Leon Wolf is an orphan who recently got divorced, and I can’t believe
how Cynthia Shear could have chosen him! This is unbelievable!
