Chapter 728
Eleanor Quinn glared at her and scolded her harshly.
When the child had been right in front of her, she hadn’t known how to cherish her, and their relationship was entirely severed. Now she wanted to win her back? The world didn’t work that way.
Lacey immediately snapped her mouth shut.
“Mom, please stop scolding her. Lacey just loves her daughter deeply.
And Mira is being entirely unreasonable. There’s no such thing as an unforgivable grudge between a mother and daughter, yet she refuses to acknowledge her own birth mother p>
Aunt Gwen offered her ‘kind’ mediation.
Lacey lowered her head, looking incredibly pitiful.
“It’s easy for you to stand there and talk.
Gwen, just focus on managing your own daughter. Keep your nose out of other people’s business p>
Eleanor shot a fierce glare at her daughter-in-law.
“Why isn’t my cousin sitting with our family p>
Miles Quinn asked.
He was Seraphina’s older brother, having recently returned from abroad.
“She’s sitting with her fiancé. Is there a problem with that p>
Eleanor fired back.
Just as everyone was watching the ceremony, a server slowly pushed a juice cart through the aisles.
As she passed right by Mira, someone suddenly shoved her hard, sending the cart violently crashing toward Mira.
“Watch out p>
Owen instantly yanked Mira out of the way.
The juice cart collided heavily with the table, splashing juice all over the guests sitting on both sides.
“Watch where you’re pushing that cart p>
“Are you an intern? How dare they let you serve at such a high-end banquet p>
“Get the manager over here immediately p>
The guests whose outfits were soaked in juice shouted furiously.
These elites were incredibly particular about their appearances, and their gowns and suits were exorbitantly expensive and highly tailored.
Even if they changed clothes now, the replacements wouldn’t match the standard.
Wasn’t this a massive humiliation?
“I am so sorry! I am so sorry, everyone. This was a total failure in our service p>
Grant Ashford, the hotel manager, rushed over instantly and bowed deeply to apologize to the crowd.
“Words are cheap. Can you afford to replace our ruined dresses p>
They were telling the absolute truth. The dresses those guests wore cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars each; they weren’t exactly easy to replace.
Lady Lilian and Luna hurried over, apologizing profusely to each guest one by one and handing over highly expensive gifts before the guests finally relented.
However, two of the guests still stormed out.
Their dresses were destroyed, and their moods were entirely ruined.
In a secluded corner away from the crowd, Lady Lilian glared viciously at Luna.
“Look what you did! You dare cause a scene on an occasion like this p>
“I just can’t stand her! It’s not fair! Why does she get to dress better than me and steal all the glory p>
“I’m warning you, stop causing trouble immediately. This is your brother’s engagement banquet p>
It was unclear when the
engagement ceremony finally
concluded Mira and Owen ate a few
bites of food casually before
hurrying out, desperate to avoid
getting cornered by the ravenous
reporters again.
But the moment they reached the hotel entrance, the journalists staking out the lobby swarmed them.
One approached, and the entire pack surged forward in a frenzy.
“Mr. Lance, when are you holding your engagement banquet? When is the wedding p>
Mira answered for Owen, “We’ll be skipping the engagement banquet. It takes too
much time and energy. As you all know, I’m still in college.
We can talk about all of that after I graduate p>
“Which one of you is the Board Chair of Solflare Entertainment p>
They finally asked the question Mira had been trying to avoid broadcasting, but
there was no harm in admitting it now.
“She is the Board Chair. I just work for her p>
Owen replied casually.
“Mr. Lance, do you plan to return to the Lance family p>
“I have no such plans at the moment p>
“We have other matters to attend to. Please make way, everyone p>
Under the heavy escort of their bodyguards, they finally broke free from the mob of reporters and climbed into their car.
On the ride back, Owen asked, “Do you want an engagement banquet?
Shall we throw one too p>
“Why would I want an engagement banquet? We went to your family’s engagement party, and we were completely mobbed by the media.
To be completely honest, I hate showing off and being flashy. I just want to put my head down, do the work, and quietly improve myself p>
“That’s because my lady is already dazzling enough. You don’t even need to show
off.
However, after everything that happened today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep a low profile anymore p>
Owen said with a warm laugh.
Two highly explosive pieces of news
had broken today: First, Mira was the secret boss behind Solflare Group. Second, Owen and Mira’s romantic relationship was officially exposed content
“The news we dropped today will give everyone enough to digest for a very long
time p>
Owen draped his arm over Mira’s shoulders. “If I’m not mistaken, what was just revealed has already dominated the front pages ofevery major media platform p>
“The exposure was bound to happen sooner or later. At least this way, it saves them
from constantly guessing and making up rumors.
Besides, this acts as indirect advertising for our company.
The next time a reporter asks me anything, I’ll just casually bring up our company’s new product launches p>
