Chapter 898
Chapter 898:
Noel, sensing the need for more energy, announced, “It seems they might need a louder welcome! Let’s give them a roaring applause!” The crowd responded with vigorous clapping.
Amidst the applause, Monica approached Maggie, greeting her with a formal, “Mrs. Barton p>
Maggie’s expression tightened slightly at the sight of Monica, a flicker of annoyance passing through her eyes, though she managed a polite smile. “Monica, I’m surprised to see you could make it today p>
Monica detected a hint of scorn in Maggie’s gaze.
Yet, she remained unfazed, certain that Maggie would eventually recognize her efforts.
Monica suggested, “Mrs. Barton, I’m here if you need any assistance p>
Maggie found Monica’s offer both confusing and unnecessary.
She then ignored Monica and looked away.
Just then, the doors to the banquet hall swung open, and a spotlight caught the new arrivals.
Yelena, arm in arm with Austin, made a grand entrance, instantly quieting the room.
Monica froze, momentarily speechless as she gaped at Yelena in shock. Bella’s eyes flickered with surprise as she studied Monica, her expression giving nothing away. Their gazes locked across the room.
Monica, unaware of the full details herself, had no way to explain anything to Bella.
With the crowd’s focus on the couple, Monica seized the moment to discreetly make a phone call.
Yelena stunned in a flowing purple dress, its skirt cascading like a silver-dusted waterfall, shimmering like stars scattered across the night sky. A delicate floral crown of lavender and pearls crowned her head, enhancing her ethereal beauty.
Austin stood beside her in a tailored dark suit, his purple shirt and a delicate rose on his lapel adding a striking contrast. Under the lights, his features appeared even sharper, exuding effortless charm. They moved toward the central stage, adorned with a grand display of purple crystals and roses, a testament to their everlasting love. Austin took Yelena’s hand with a steady touch, his gaze a blend of warmth and unwavering resolve.

“From this day forward, our lives are one,” Austin made a solemn vow. Yelena responded with a soft smile, her eyes alight with joy. “And I will be by your side through all our days p>
Their vows completed, and the hall burst into vigorous applause.
The audience rose, their applause offering heartfelt congratulations.
As the celebration continued, the lights dimmed to a soft purple shade, petals fluttering down like a floral rain, creating a surreal, romantic scene.
In that enchanted moment, Yelena and Austin appeared to exist in a realm solely their own, making everything else momentarily insignificant.
Meanwhile, Monica clenched her jaw in frustration, her failed call fueling her growing agitation. “Why isn’t he answering? Why is Yelena still here p>
Once the ceremony concluded, guests scattered to partake in the culinary offerings.
Despite the banquet being set up as a buffet, a few attendees made their way to the food stations. Today’s focus was less on dining and more on networking and establishing business connections.
“Callum, I was surprised to learn your future son-in-law is Mr. Barton. Why hadn’t you mentioned this significant detail earlier?” a CEO, well-acquainted with Callum, expressed his regret.
