Lily frowned as she looked at the phone in her hand. Beside her, Madam Springsteen could not help
urging.“ Lily, call Master Carter again and ask where he is. It’s already half an hour, and your
grandfather is getting impatient.”
Lily replied, “Cliff said the traffic has cleared. They should arrive soon.”
Suddenly, her mother asked on the other side, “Lily, does Master Carter not want to get engaged to
you?” Lily smiled and replied, “Mom, don’t overthink it. He was stuck in the traffic.”
Her mother frowned and murmured, “Why didn’t he come over sooner? Doesn’t he realize that you’re
getting engaged tonight?”
Madam Springsteen coughed. “He’s handling the Carter Corporation. How could such a big
organization not have some urgencies?”
Lily’s mother pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lily glanced outside the window.
She must claim this man as her own. No matter how long Odell was stuck in the traffic tonight, she
would wait for

him.
At this time, outside the hotel, in a car parked by the roadside for a long time. The window was rolled
down. The man inside smoked a cigarette while keeping silent.
On the passenger’s seat, Cliff looked at the time and said softly, “Master Carter, half an hour has
passed. Should we go in now?”
The man’s dark gaze landed on the snow-white ground outside the window.
After a long time, he threw the unfinished cigarette into the snowy ground and said hoarsely, “Let’s go
in.”
Cliff hurriedly went out of the car to open the door for him. Odell walked out, and his sturdy figure soon
disappeared at the hotel entrance.
At the same time, a white business car drove over and stopped steadily. “Sylvia, we’ve reached. The
ceremony should’ve already started. Let’s go down and see if we’re still on time.” Zach got out of the
car and smiled at Sylvia.
Sylvia’s smile seemed forced. “Okay.”
Then, she pushed open the car door with difficulty.

In the hotel, the guests finally welcomed the emcee and the elders of both families on stage after
waiting for nearly forty minutes.
The emcee said some greetings and asked all the guests to take their seats. Then, the ceremony
officially started.
Everyone stared at the stage.
Following the romantic music, the stars of the day finally walked out.
The man wore a suit and stood sturdily. His figure was exceptional, and he was also very handsome.
The woman wore a white gown that outlined her slim figure. Her appearance was also easy on the
eyes.
The two were a match made in heaven in terms of appearance and family background. The guests
could not help clapping their hands.
Odell and Lily walked to the center of the stage.
The emcee made sure the ceremony process flowed smoothly.
Soon, they exchanged engagement rings and hugged in front of everyone.
The scene was heart-warming and pleasing.

Another round of applause sounded and only stopped after Odell released Lily.
The emcee’s voice then rang out. “Thank you, everyone, for coming! Let us move to the restaurant next
door and enjoy the feast!”
As his voice fell, the guests stood up orderly and walked to the restaurant.
On the stage, Odell also turned around and went down. He happened to catch a familiar figure out of
the corner of his eyes.
He immediately glanced toward the hall’s center.
Amid the moving crowd stood an unmoving woman.
The woman wore a black hat and a loose black skirt, looking like a ghost that had lost her soul.
As if noticing his gaze, she suddenly turned around and walked out. Odell’s gaze hardened.
That figure. It could not be anyone else other than that woman! Instantly, he jumped off the stage.
