Fabian was emotionally manipulating his daughter.
Their father–daughter relationship had grown distant, but Fabian would not let her go.
Faye almost had a mental breakdown when she thought about her father’s actions and what happened to her mother, causing her to shake visibly on the stage.
Fabian gently grabbed Faye and whispered, “This is your future. As your father, I’ve chosen a man for you, and it won’t be a mistake. Say a few words to everyone. From now on, whether it’s in Endler Province or in Kardon Province, our family’s name will be known.”
She could not help but sneer and thought to herself, “Wow. You didn’t even ask for my consent. This is ridiculous.‘
She would not be like her mother. She would not endure his manipulation.
Faye composed herself and stood in front of the microphone, smiling at everyone.
Everyone was waiting for Faye to confirm her engagement with Shawn. The engagement was announced by Fabian earlier, so it was as good as confirmed if nothing went wrong.
Faye said slowly, “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m not familiar with Mister Shawn James, and I did not consent to the engagement. Also, Cape Consortium won’t be collaborating with Pride Corp. I want to clarify to avoid any misunderstanding.”
That caused an immediate uproar.
They did not see that unexpected twist coming. It was simply unbelievable.
‘How will Shawn James and Fabian Yves save their dignity now?”
Faye had truly embarrassed her father by doing that.
Gossip ran wild at that moment. Most of the crowd criticized Faye for lacking a sense of propriety and embarrassing her father in public.
Faye’s statement would cause Pride Corp’s stocks to crash, which would incur a huge loss. Moreover, Shawn was not someone who could take an insult. The consequences would be dire
Fabian and Shawn looked absolutely pissed.
Fabian did not expect his daughter to embarrass him in front of everyone, and Shawn did not expect to be humiliated as a general manager of a major enterprise. The situation was truly awkward.
Both of them looked angry enough to commit murder.
However, Fabian chuckled and said, “My daughter was just joking. They had a small fight today, so please don’t take her seriously.”
Fabian gestured for Faye to leave.
That was all that he could say at that point. He tried his best to avoid humiliation for himself and Shawn.
He would see to the other consequences later.
Pendleton and Fergus also looked infuriated.
They could not believe the scandal at the event they hosted. It looked very unfavorable for them.
The negative impact would be immeasurable if the scandal ended up in the headlines the next day, especially with Faye being a prominent figure.
Everyone could tell that something was off in Fabian’s statement.
Faye had humiliated her father, Shawn, Pendleton, and Fergus in public in one go.
“Offending Pendleton Howard and Fergus Long will only complicate Cape Consortium’s future endeavors in Seechertown. Faye Yves seems to be underestimating the gravity of the situation,” the crowd thought.
Faye did not leave the stage. Instead, she smiled and continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce my boyfriend on stage to clarify this misunderstanding Wilbur Penn, please come on the stage.”
She smiled and waved at Wilbur.
