Meanwhile, Lucinda, Nathan, and Cyrus sat at the same table.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    The men enjoyed a ss of rich red wine, while Lucinda, due to her ongoing period, opted for a ss of warm milk.


    Since Noelle was a celebrity, Mekhi had invited numerous reporters from major media outlets and popr female artists to perform on stage.


    The lively atmosphere intensified after an intense dance performance.


    Mekhi took the stage to express his gratitude to the guests, reading from his written speech.


    As time passed, Cyrus grew increasingly anxious as Noelle still hadn’t made an appearance.


    On the stage, Mekhi was still speaking.


    He recounted Noelle’s difficult childhood as a kidnapping victim who eventually found refuge in a welfare home.


    He med the kidnappers but omitted any mention of the Shaw family’s carelessness.


    “Tonight, besides celebrating Noelle’s return to the family, we have another exciting announcement,” he dered with a joyful smile.


    “I’ve just agreed to Noelle and Quintin’s engagement.


    In two weeks, they’ll have an engagement ceremony at the Gentti Hotel…”


    Lucinda and Cyrus froze when they heard this.


    Cyrus was too stunned by the news of Noelle and Quintin’s engagement to pay attention to anything else Mekhi said.


    Quintin was in his forties while Noelle was just in her twenties, making him considerably older than her.


    To reap certain advantages, Mekhi consented to marry Noelle off to Quintin and promptly announced their engagement.


    Cyrus, filled with rage, abruptly rose from his seat and fixed a piercing re on Mekhi who was


    on the stage.


    Lucinda was also stunned.


    She wished she could have stopped Cyrus, but it was toote.


    “Mekhi, Noelle is my girlfriend.


    I came here tonight to discuss our engagement, but you’ve betrothed her to Quintin without a word to me.


    What’s the meaning of this?”


    The guests, who had been on the verge of apuding and offering their congrattions, fell into silence.


    The cameras continued to sh on Cyrus, capturing every moment.


    Cyrus, someone who had a lot of influence in the entertainment business of the country, was in a rtionship with Noelle, a renowned actress?


    And judging by his words, they had been together for quite some time.


    In the tense atmosphere, Mekhi chuckled, “Noelle is your girlfriend?


    I wasn’t aware of that.


    Besides, she was willing to be engaged to Quintin.


    ”


    “What did you just say?” Cyrus growled, his expression contorted in anger.


    The notion that Noelle would willingly consent to marry Quintin seemed unfathomable to him.


    “Where is she? I want to see her!” Cyrus demanded, locking eyes with Mekhi.
