Chapter 485
The vast estate beneath the snowy mountains was filled with roses flown in by air transport, earning it the title of the
Hermès of flowers. The roses were arranged amidst the white snow, creating a stunning spectacle.
The snow was pristine, and the roses were vibrant and blooming.
Lincoln was the royal family’s most highly-regarded heir, and can be said to be the future successor!
On the other hand, Jasmine, the eldest daughter of the Powell family, Kovis’ ace family, was the royal family’s treasure trove!
It was evident how significant this engagement ceremony was!
There were no journalists present, and the aristocrats arrived early and were seated in The engagement ceremony began.
Lincoln stood on the stage, his erect posture and frigid aura accentuating his noble disposition in his white suit.
As the music started playing, a round of applause filled the room.
Jasmine appeared in the eyes of the crowd, wearing a light pink haute couture dress.
She looked at Lincoln on the stage, her smile exceedingly captivating.
Jasmine thought to herself, “This is the man I’ve been waiting for over twenty years, and we’re finally getting engaged!
“How could I not be happy? How could I not be thrilled?”
However, Lincoln didn’t even bat an eye. He thought to himself, “Is that a person or some other thing walking towards me?”
According to protocol, he was supposed to give Jasmine the ring and then bring her to Jefferson and Miriam, who were sitting in the high seats.
Lincoln’s expression was indifferent, and though Jefferson noticed it, he refrained from saying anything in such a grand occasion.
Jefferson thought to himself, “Lincoln can come here and stand on this stage. He’s already doing enough to comply with my wishes. In this way, he should have listened to what I told him before.”
As the prince of the Brevan Empire, he must shoulder the Brevan Empire’s responsibility!
Jefferson thought, “The Powell family is equivalent to our treasure trove. How important is that?”
Marcus held an exquisite crystal box in his hands, containing a large pink diamond!
“Your Highness, please put this sacred engagement ring on your fiancé’s finger!” he announced.
Lincoln’s expression turned cold.
Lincoln was gambling that his girl would show up!
“Lincoln, the ring,” Jefferson saw that Lincoln was motionless and immediately reminded him in a low voice, afraid that he might make a mistake in such a situation.
Jasmine was taken aback, thinking, “Why did Lincoln pause at this moment? Does he not want to marry me?
“No way,” Jasmine immediately denied her own ridiculous idea.
In her view, she was so excellent and good that no woman in the world could compare to her. How could Lincoln not want to marry her?
Amidst the watching eyes, Lincoln raised his hand and opened the crystal box, taking out the pink diamond.
Jasmine eagerly reached out her hand, hoping he would put it on her finger.
Suddenly, a loud rumble shook the room, and the grand golden doors were pushed open.
Zayla removed her flight helmet, her long hair cascading down her shoulders as she stood there in a red dress, looking like a goddess.
“There are one hundred cannons outside!” she declared.
“Lincoln, if you dare to get engaged, I dare to die here with you!”
Her voice was soft and alluring, yet her words were chilling and made everyone shudder.
What’s going on?
How did she get in?
There must be a traitor.
But there’s no time to find a traitor now.
There are a hundred cannons outside, not a hundred cameras!
The nobles in attendance were thrown into a state of panic.
Jasmine on the stage was shocked in place, her eyes widened, and she didn’t react at all.
Jefferson and Miriam were also astonished. But they had seen such grand spectacles before, so Jefferson immediately shouted for security, but his trusted confidant, Marcus, never led anyone in!
Jasmine thought to herself, “Where are the people outside? Where did the security personnel go?
“Could they have all been compromised?
“This must be the work of an insider! It’s a collaboration between insiders and outsiders to stop the wedding!”
Jasmine urgently looked towards her father Clarence, who had an angry expression and tightly clenched fists while seated in the audience.
Janus, who was sitting beside him, had eyes shining with excitement and could not sit still.
Suddenly, Janus stood up and shouted.
“I saw a fairy!”
During this period, Janus had been feeling lethargic like he had encountered a major failure in his life.
However, in this critical moment, he became invigorated and couldn’t stop laughing!
Joe perceived the precarious situation and acted quickly to pull Janus back into his seat, fearing he might cause trouble.
The hall fell into a silence.
Suddenly, Lincoln laughed.
Lincoln thought to himself, “This time, I won the bet.”
Holding the pink diamond ring, Lincoln gazed at Zayla.
Zayla remained as captivating as ever, causing Lincoln to be unable to take his eyes off her.
“I just wanted to check the quality of the pink diamond,” he said.
“This is indeed a superior diamond, worthy of you, my girl,” Lincoln exclaimed, causing a commotion throughout the room.
Everyone was thinking, “Is Lincoln not going to propose anymore?
“This is a blatant insult to the Powell family!”
“Lincoln, what are you saying? What are you doing?” Jefferson admonished in a low voice, but Lincoln seemed indifferent to his words.
Jasmine snapped out of her trance and quickly questioned, “Lincoln, what do your mean? You are my fiancé!
“Who is that woman? Who is she?”
Lincoln furrowed his brows and coldly staredat Jasmine.
“Can’t you tell?” he asked, “She is the one I love.”
With that statement, Lincoln didn’t even spare Jasmine another glance or another word.
As Lincoln laid eyes on Jasmine for the first time, his eyes were slightly pained. “I need to take a look at Zayla. Take good care of my eyes,” he thought to himself.
The love of Lincoln’s life was just a stone’s throw away.
He strode over to Zayla with long strides.
And in the next second, he made a move that shocked the entire crowd!
Lincoln got down on one knee in front of everyone!
