Chapter 147

The VIP seats were super clever, giving the best view while keeping the people sitting there hidden from the crowd.

After Carlton's big announcement, he led the two of them into the spotlight, making sure everyone could see them.

Katniss was facing Maximilian, so the crowd couldn't get a good look at her face, but her striking silhouette and classy vibe had everyone hooked.

Instead of the usual whispers, the crowd was now buzzing about how perfect the two looked together, throwing out genuine congratulations.

Even though they couldn't see Katniss's face, Clara and Desmond had a clear view from the other side of the VIP seats.

Clara blinked rapidly, trying to refocus, but all she could see was the radiant Katniss standing there.

How could this be possible?

No way!

Desmond's brows furrowed deeply, his face a mix of shock and disbelief.

Maximilian, marrying Katniss?

The same Katniss he had broken off an engagement with, the one everyone thought was talentless and heartless?

Sure, there were rumors that Maximilian was terminally ill and wouldn't live long.

But right now, Maximilian was still the head of the Hamilton and Boleyn families. As long as he was alive, that powerful position was his.

And now, this Katniss, who seemed to come out of nowhere, was the mistress of both families. If she could have an heir...

In no time, Katniss had everyone's attention.

The savvy ones quickly brought their wives over to congratulate her and shower her with compliments.

Seeing this, others followed suit. Those without wives brought their female companions, telling them to get on Katniss's good side.
