Chapter 426

After Sheena finished speaking, Albert took the stage.

Amidst the cheers from the crowd, he swiftly announced Sheena’s engagement to Elliot. Since Elliot could not make it to the venue, Albert chose to simplify and quickly move past the announcement to minimize the guests‘ attention.

As the banquet progressed, Sheena, having toasted all the guests, sat alone in a corner, sipping her

wine.

Seeing her sitting alone, Colin felt a twinge of sympathy and joined her.

“Sheena, you’re not really willing to be engaged to Elliot, are you?”

She remained silent, elegantly swirling her wine glass.

Colin continued, “Look at him. He can’t even be present on such an important day, leaving you to bear everyone’s ridicule. A man like that won’t cherish you properly.”

Sheena chuckled. “Mr. Upton, it seems like no one dared to ridicule me except for you today.”

Colin was frustrated. “That’s because Uncle Albert managed the situation well. Sheena, I regret not having my parents talk to Uncle Albert about our marriage earlier. But if you’re willing to be with me, I can stand up to the Jenkins family for you!”

“No need, Mr. Upton. I’m not interested,” Sheena replied without hesitation.
