Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 453

Remus was already in his forties, and Jennifer was in her twenties; the former was almost two decades her senior. For his own gain, Craig had announced the engagement without so much as a warning.

Treyton was furious. Leaping to his feet, he glared at Craig who was on top of the stage.

Similarly shocked, Gwendolyn tried to pull him back down but was a second too late.

“Jennifer and I are in love, Craig. I have come tonight specifically to ask you for her hand in marriage, yet you’re betrothing her to somebody else. Besides, tonight’s the first I’m hearing of it. What is the meaning of this?”

The guests were about to applaud and congratulate them but fell silent upon sensing something awry.

The media began photographing Treyton in a mad flurry of clicks and flashes.

This man who holds the fate of the entertainment industry in his hand is dating the acclaimed actress, Jennifer. From the sound of it, their relationship hasn’t begun recently, either.

Craig chuckled in response to the solemnity the atmosphere had attained. “When did you and Jennifer start dating, Mr. Treyton? How was I not aware of that? Besides, being engaged to Mr. Abbott is what she wants.”

“What did you say?”

Treyton scowled. A frigid aura poured forth.

He refused to believe that Jennifer would agree to be Remus’ fiancée.

“Where is Jennifer? I want to see her.”

Craig met his gaze but did not answer.

Gwendolyn stood up and chimed in, “This homecoming feast is held in Jennifer’s honor, Mr. Craig. Isn’t it strange that she’s not even here? What do you have up your sleeve?”

Since the commencement of the party, a popular dance group had performed, followed by Craig taking the stage and giving a speech to announce the engagement. The sequence of events was so tightly planned that the guests did not notice a thing.

Many among the crowd gave a start of surprise at Gwendolyn’s words. As the feast is in her honor, why is she nowhere to be seen?
