Boom!
The news struck Levi like a bolt from the blue.
Zoey is getting engage?
But I’m still at North Hampton. Who is Zoey going to get engaged to?
After Russell walked him through the situation, rage nearly consumed Levi.
He once had a good impression of Meredith and Robert, at the very least, they left a better impression on him than Harry did.
However, now it seemed like no one could stick to their morals when power and money were involved.
“Time and place,” Levi demanded.
“Stardust Hotel at ten,” Russell replied.
“Got it.”
The next day.
At the Black family’s manor.
Meredith and Caitlyn forced Zoey to dress herself up for the ceremony.
Right then, a fleet of cars arrived outside the manor.
Harry, Henry, and the others had arrived.
Even the Lopez family of the South City was here.
When Harry heard Zoey was about to marry a rich man of South Hampton, he had hurried to South City overnight.
As for the Lopez family, they once refused to acknowledge Harry’s family as a part of the Lopez family. However, when they heard Zoey was marrying Landyn, they came instantly.
Now, they were all claiming Zoey as one of the Lopez family.
“One of us is engaging today. Obviously, the Lopez family has to be here,” Harry said.
At the same time, the Lopez family of South City added, “We’re proud that someone like you is in the Lopez family.”
As the Lopez family of South City was reputable, the Black family was more than happy to welcome them despite knowing that the former was only here to butter up the Gates family.
Zoey was exasperated.
Do they think of anyone else but themselves?
Do they feel anything for others?
“Congratulations, Zoey! I told you shouldn’t stick to Levi. He’s but a burden for you. Look at how great you are now. You’re about to marry into a genuine, wealthy family!” Shaun, Melanie, and the others muttered as they laughed.
“Levi is the worst of the worst. He gave up Zoey for ten million!”
“I know, right. I even heard he insisted that he had thrown the check into the trash can despite taking the money for himself.”
Everyone chattered away.
At the side, Russell was displeased to hear their words.
Why does Levi have to endure these slanders silently?
At the same time, Zeek had an ashen face.
It was as though he was afraid someone would ask him about the matter.
Russell could not help but mumble, “No…”
Meredith stopped him immediately. “Russell, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to humiliate the Black family?”
“I…”
And so, Russell could only swallow his words.
Soon, everyone headed to Stardust Hotel.
Many of them were keeping an eye on Zoey, fearing that she would escape.
A fleet of luxurious cars was parked right outside the Stardust Hotel.
People from the upper-class society were all gathered here today.
Although they were unable to join the engagement banquet without an invitation, they were here in hopes of meeting Kurt.
Meanwhile, the Gates family had long arrived.
Like Landyn, his father, Fred, looked like a capable man, exuding an imposing aura.
After all, he was the man who had control over hundreds of private banks.
He had the nickname of the God of Wealth within the corporate world.
In other words, he was rich.
Beside him was Landyn’s mother, a foreign woman. She exuded a noble aura that attracted the people’s gazes yet kept them at a distance.
She was the president of the Association of Foreign Enterprises; she had a say in every foreign enterprise that entered the local market.
After Fred and his wife gave Zoey a once-over, they nodded in satisfaction.
“This way.”
With that, Meredith and the others entered Stardust Hotel.
