Mr. Briggs couldn't muster a smile, but under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he was forced to put on an air of nonchalance and extend his hand. However, at that moment, Ricardo withdrew his previously extended hand and said indifferently, "Why don't I see Rowena?"

Everyone knew that today, the Freeman family's daughter was to be announced as engaged to the CEO of Burker International, and they all congratulated Nichole.

Having attended many occasions with James, Nichole responded to the congratulations with a light smile as if she had already become James' wife.
