HappyNovelChapter 495 The Lone Bride Finished “Ms. Tessford, the engagement ceremony is about to begin. Mr. Holbrook informed us that he might be a little late and asked you to proceed first. Let's go I sat in the room, and although I felt a bit uncomfortable hearing the stylist's words, I still nodded, slightly lifting the hem of my gown and gracefully stepping out. The banquet hall was resplendent with gold and opulence. Handswerewolf attendants moved deftly through the crowd, balancing champagne trays in one hand. Most of the guests were prominent figures from Rivemon's business world and influential members of various werewolf clans. Many were Caden's business partners, and numerous reporters and cameramen from major media outlets gathered outside. Seeing such a large crowd, I was momentarily taken aback. However, I quickly composed myself, putting on a warm and graceful smile as I skillfully greeted the werewolf VIPs who cup to me. The ever-watchful reporters, of course, seized the opportunity. As soon as they spotted me, they swarmed over with eager questions. “Ms. Tessford, today is your engagement ceremony with Mr. Holbrook. How are you feeling right now?" "Ms. Tessford, why isn't Mr. Holbrook here with you on such an important occasion? Did you plan to appear separately?" "Ms. Tessford-" One question after another bombarded me. When I heard inquiries about Caden, I subtly furrowed my brows but maintained my polite smile. I leaned slightly toward the microphones and answered, "Well, Caden has been very busy with work lately. He just informedthat he might be a little late. But with so many guests attending today, as one of the hosts, I couldn't just stay inside and keep everyone waiting, right? That would be impolite." I chose my words carefully, ensuring they were flawless while preserving Caden's reputation. After all, his absence at this moment was somewhat inappropriate. “Moreover, I'm very happy and honored that so many of you have cto witness Caden and my engagement. I've finally been able to be with the one I love, and I hope that everyone here today also finds their own happiness.” After I finished speaking, the reporters gradually dispersed. The werewolf assistant besidewhispered a reminder, "Ms. Tessford, the ceremony is about to begin. We should head to the stage. You are the star of tonight's event." "All right, I understand." I agreed, but I couldn't shake my unease. I glanced toward the entrance, but no sign of Caden remained. The ceremony was about to start-why wasn't he here yet? I frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding creeping into my heart. But I quickly forced it down. 1/2 3 Ap Chapter 495 The Lone Bride 95% Finished A soft voice urgedfrom the side, snappingback to reality. Left with no choice, I turned and followed the werewolf assistant toward the stage. As I walked forward, I inadvertently turned my head and saw a familiar figure among the crowd. Everett Lloyd. My heart skipped a beat, and my hand instinctively clenched. Today was my engagement ceremony with Caden. Although I had approached him under Everett's orders, I had finally made it this far. If Everett was here now, could he be planning to ruin everything? I stared at him for a few seconds, but to my surprise, he seemed completely indifferent. He was engaged in casual conversation with others, exuding a polite and refined demeanor-a stark contrast to the ruthless man who had once commanded me. When his gaze met mine, he even smiled slightly. I quickly averted my eyes and pretended nothing had happened, continuing forward. Don't panic, don't panic. Everett is only here as a guest. He won't do anything. I reassured myself, adjusted my mindset, and tried to relax. Once I was engaged to Caden, I would becthe future Luna of the Eclipse Pack. By then, even Everett wouldn't be able to control me. If I could win over Caden's heart and get him to deal with Everett for me, I would no longer have to live as a puppet. I was so close to freedom. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I am tonight's host, and I'd like to welcyou all to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Caden Holbrook and Ms. Heidi Tessford. As we all know, they have overcnumerous hardships to be together." After the host's customary speech, the audience responded with polite applause. My heart pounded with excitement.
