Chapter 852 Attended the Engagement Party
“Helin is getting engaged?”
Enter title…
Charlotte couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the invitation in Joe’s hand.
Just a couple of days ago, Helin had been relentlessly pursuing Joe. How could
her attitude change so quickly, and now she was getting engaged?
Joe casually tossed the invitation onto the table, a smirk on his face. “Marcus had
someone investigate your background. They found out you’re not someone he
wants to mess with, so he quickly backed off.”
Marcus was a rational man. Once he understood Joe’s attitude, he wouldn’t risk
offending the Clinton family and the Faulkner family for a slim chance.
Regardless of the situation, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing
Helin wouldn’t bother her anymore.
Although the Wallace family had made their stance clear, neither Joe nor
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte intended to attend the engagement party.
But no one expected that just one day before the banquet, Marcus personally
came to invite Joe.
When he arrived, Charlotte had just finished her treatment. Upon seeing her,
Marcus politely greeted her.
“To be honest, I’ve come this time to invite the two of you to Helin’s engagement
party,” Marcus said, bowing to them.
Joe and Charlotte exchanged a glance, not feeling that there was a need for
Marcus to come personally to invite them.
Marcus sensed their thoughts and sighed. “I understand that Helin’s previous
actions were a bit excessive. After this period, she has come to realize her
mistakes. However, the previous person and Helin did have a formal
engagement ceremony. Even if we explain it, others might not easily believe.”
At this point, Marcus had also thoroughly investigated Martha’s affairs and had a
vague idea of some truths.
However, these were precisely the things that Joe was unwilling to disclose. For
a moment, Marcus was perplexed about how to explain it.
Joe and Charlotte understood Marcus’s intentions. He wanted them to attend the
engagement ceremony to validate their explanation.
“We will be there on time,” Joe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After all, this matter had been caused by Martha using his name, and he saw no
harm in helping to clarify things.
Upon hearing Joe’s agreement, Marcus immediately smiled and said, “Thank
you!”
On the night of the following day.
Joe and Charlotte drove to the Wallace family’s residence.
The mansion was filled with guests by this time, and the air was thick with
elegance and sophistication. Upon seeing this scene, Charlotte couldn’t help but
furrow her brow.
“What’s wrong?” Joe noticed her expression and asked with concern.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlotte shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly feel like I’ve experienced
scenes like this many times before.”
She had attended hundreds of banquets every year in the past, so it was
inevitable to feel a bit weary.
Joe stopped at the entrance of the mansion. “If you’re not comfortable, we can
leave now.”
Charlotte shook her head again. “It’s okay. Since we’re already here, let’s go in
and say hello.”
At that moment, Marcus spotted them and warmly approached.
“I didn’t expect you to arrive so early. Today has been quite hectic, so please
forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality,” Marcus expressed his apologies to
them.
Joe and Charlotte politely smiled in response.
Many guests noticed the surprise in Joe and Charlotte’s eyes, and Marcus took
the opportunity to introduce them to everyone.
It was then that everyone realized that the story Marcus had shared about Helin
being deceived a while back was actually true.
