Chapter 83

Chapter 83 She'll End Up Taking Everything From...

On stage, Brenna exchanged a look with Audrey and then coldly watched Isabella walk away, clearly not intending to follow up on the incident.

Alec, Ruby, and Mack all witnessed Isabella's embarrassing moment and felt ashamed for her. They averted their gazes, pretending not to see her disgrace.

The group felt deeply embarrassed on her behalf, internally criticizing Isabella for her carelessness in falling and causing a scene. Why hadn't she been more cautious?

It seemed unbelievable that such a major mistake could happen at such a critical moment.

Isabella appeared to lack experience and seemed unable to manage the pressures of such a grand event.

Meanwhile, Brenna commanded the stage with elegance, her delivery smooth and assured. She was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening.

Ethan, seated prominently in the audience, was captivated by Brenna's voice, considering it the most enchanting sound he had ever heard.

As Brenna scanned the crowd, her eyes briefly connected with Ethan's before she quickly diverted her gaze.

Ethan experienced a hint of disappointment, feeling overlooked by Brenna; to him, she did not see him as

someone she was going to marry.

Fingering the engagement ring he had prepared in his pocket, he felt his nerves fray. Despite rehearsing his proposal repeatedly at home, he found it difficult to bring himself to do it.

Brenna's speech soon concluded, and the room burst into applause.

In the midst of the clapping, Ethan confidently approached the stage, knelt on one knee, and presented the

engagement ring to Brenna.

"Brenna, will you marry me?" he said.

Caught completely off guard, Brenna looked at Ethan, uncertainty flickering across her face as she wondered whether she should extend her hand to him.

This man stood as the most successful and accomplished person in the world, the wealthiest man alive.
