Chapter 480
Chapter 480:
Fiona spoke with unwavering confidence, convinced that sabotaging the engagement party would make Wesley leave with Gabriela.
Gabriela’s heart gave a small flutter. The thought of ruining the party and then living happily ever after with Wesley was something she had never dared to dream. Yet if it truly happened, it would be so wonderful her chest almost ached at the thought.
She took a breath. “Let me think about it p>
Fiona urged, her tone sharp with warning, “Let me know by tomorrow morning! Say yes, and I’ll bring the dress over. You have to decide quickly, otherwise Wesley will end up with Rebecca p>
“Alright.” Gabriela nodded.
Only after getting that response did Fiona step out of the car.
Brenden approached, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “How did it go p>

“Judging by her face, she’s tempted,” Fiona said triumphantly, a smug smile tugging at her lips. “I really am a genius for coming up with this plan p>
In her mind, the outcome was clear. If Gabriela stormed the party, Wesley would no doubt walk away with her. Rebecca would be left humiliated, and her family might even sever ties with the Moss family. That would be the perfect moment for her to strike. Her family was every bit as formidable as the Howards, making her a perfect choice as Wesley’s future wife.
Brenden raised his hand with a grin, giving her a thumbs-up. “Impressive p>
Gabriela returned home.
Loretta was waiting in the living room with Truett in her arms, her face lighting up the moment Gabriela walked through the door. “You’re finally back! Rebecca really is something — getting so worked up over just an engagement party and keeping you out this late p>
She fussed over Gabriela immediately, asking if she wanted something to eat and offering to cook for her.
Gabriela’s gaze softened as she looked at Loretta. Loretta’s kindness wrapped around her like a blanket. If someone like her could become family, Gabriela thought, then happiness would have no limits.
They were all distinguished figures in the business world, dressed in their finest attire, offering congratulations and lavish gifts.
Rebecca accepted each one with polished grace, her voice warm, her manners flawless. The crowd admired her quietly, impressed by her noble bearing.
Once all the guests had gathered, the host stepped onto the main stage and began announcing the engagement between the two powerful families. Below, Rebecca stood before Wesley, her face glowing with happiness as she gazed at him. It was only an engagement, yet in her heart, it already felt like marriage. This man would be hers — there was no doubt. Even if his heart belonged to another, she vowed she would never let go, not in this lifetime.
After the host finished offering words of blessing, he declared it was time for the couple to exchange rings.
Rebecca extended her hand toward Wesley, a bright, joyful smile lingering on her lips.
But Wesley didn’t move. He stood frozen, silent for what felt like an eternity.
Gabriela’s messages echoed in his mind. Logic told him that he and Gabriela could never have a future. Yet in this moment, he wished more than anything that she would appear.
“I object to this engagement p>
A voice rang out, cutting through the hall like a blade.
Heads turned. Fiona stood at the entrance, bold and unflinching. Beside her was a tall figure in a flawless white gown, veil and gloves completing the breathtaking look.
The striking entrance instantly drew all attention, eclipsing Rebecca’s radiance and making it clear they had come to cause a scene. Guests exchanged shocked glances, instinctively stepping aside to clear a path when they sensed the drama.
