The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1257

Tonight’s twin engagement parties were a total trainwreck.

“Royce!” Presley scolded sternly from the side.

But Royce didn’t respond to him, instead directing his attention towards the crowd. His voice was calm and indifferent. “Let’s get one thing straight. The engagement ceremony in this hall, there’s only supposed to be one tonight. If Miss Alonso wants to throw her own engagement party, she’ll have to find another place! They can’t just muscle in on someone else’s party like this. If word gets out, they’re gonna look like intruders.”

This description made Elizabeth burst into laughter. “Intruders? That’s exactly what they are!” Her words were practically grinding through her teeth by the end. Grace’s face suddenly turned sour. “What’s that supposed to mean?!” She couldn’t help but confront Elizabeth, her voice on the edge of hysteria.

Elizabeth cast her a sidelong glance and sneered, “What, want me to spell it out for you?”

“You…” On the stage, Wendy was at a loss for words, her face a mix of anxiety and humiliation.

“Royce, how could you treat me like this, I truly love him…”

“The ceremony’s about to start, this isn’t your place right now, so beat it!” Royce coldly cut off Wendy’s attempt to soften him with weakness and emotion. His final words were an undeniable command.

Wendy’s words were stuck in her throat, then she turned to Presley with a hurt look.

“Royce, you’re absolutely despicable!” Presley was fuming, as his dignity completely disregarded by his own son in front of everyone.

“If you don’t want to leave, then stay. But it’s on you, don’t blame me for not considering your dignity.”

Wendy had no idea what Royce meant by this. Presley was even more incensed, huffing and puffing with rage. “Do you have absolutely no respect for your father?” Royce acted as if he hadn’t heard, checking his watch briefly before scanning the crowd. Then his expression became solemn. He withdrew his gaze and said lightly, “The engagement ceremony begins now. The engaged couple, please come to the stage.”
