Chapter 211

When Phillip started hitting his leg, Elizabeth looked at him and asked, "Phillip, what's the matter?" But as he did not reply and merely hit his leg repeatedly, Elizabeth became horrified. "Call the doctor! Now!!"

A group of people quickly moved Phillip to a lounge despite the ceremony being in full swing. Initially, Elizabeth was going to go on the stage, but now she could not care less. Her only hope was for Phillip to be well.

Adeline stood beside Isaac, waiting for the master of ceremonies to call out their names so that they could go on the stage together. She had never been so nervous in her life before, and she had been breathing deeply to keep herself calm. Although today was not the wedding day, as long as she went through the night without any incident, she would be seen as Mrs. Arnold. Isaac would be hers, and she would be the moon among the stars. She would also be seen as the leader of the Aniston Family. The more she thought about it, the more she needed to calm down given what was at stake. She kept reminding herself not to make a fool of herself on her big day.

Finally, the master of ceremonies announced excitedly, "Let's welcome the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be!"

Isaac walked to the stage by himself, and Adeline hurriedly followed. As she was in a rush, she sprained her ankle and almost fell.

Abigail gave Adeline a helping hand. "Careful." However, Adeline replied coldly, "I know." She then lifted her skirt, raised her head, and walked proudly to the stage.

The appearance of Isaac and Adeline on the stage attracted screams and applause from everyone present. The cameras were aimed at the two as the engagement was broadcasted live given that it was an important event in Appleby that everyone was looking forward to.

Adeline stood by Isaac's side, and she turned to look at his handsome side profile. Even on such an occasion, he was not showing any fear, and his strong aura made everyone feel in awe of him. Adeline pursed her lips and thought she had to make someone as powerful as Isaac hers no matter what. She wanted to make him fall in love with her so that she would be the only one in his heart.

The master of ceremonies was introducing them when Isaac's mobile phone in his pocket rang. His expression was slightly cold. He did not want to answer the call at first, but as he glanced at the screen and saw that it was his lackey whom he had asked to follow Patricia, he did not hesitate to pick up the call.

"Talk."

"President Arnold, Miss Aniston got into a van, but we did not stop her. I heard from Josephine that the loan shark kidnapped her daughter, which was why she acted that way. She's going to save her daughter."

Isaac could no longer maintain his cool when he heard that. "Check their whereabouts. I'll be right there."

As soon as he hung up the phone, he took the microphone over from the master of ceremonies' hand. "The engagement is canceled. However, you may stay and enjoy dinner. I wish you all a great evening!"
