Chapter 639:
Before they exited the venue, they noticed that another hall was being prepared for what seemed like a grand event.
The flurry of activity caught Jenessa’s eye.
“What’s happening over there?” she asked, curiosity piqued.
“No idea,” Richard replied with a casual shrug.
The staff member escorting them out turned with a polite smile and clarified, “That hall is also being prepared for an engagement ceremony next week. They’re in a bit of a rush because it’s set for the same date as yours p>
Jenessa’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.
“Another engagement party? On the same day as ours? What a coincidence p>
She couldn’t help but marvel at the extravagance. The wealthy certainly had no qualms about spending lavishly on their celebrations.
As she took in the opulence of the other setup, Jenessa realized that in comparison, hers and Richard’s engagement plans were much more understated. Richard, ever the optimist, chuckled softly.
“Looks like we picked a popular day to get engaged p>
With a final glance at the glittering scene, they made their way downstairs.
But as they approached the hotel entrance, Jenessa’s thoughts lingered on the mysterious event in that hall. Who could possibly be hosting such an extravagant affair? Whoever could afford to host an engagement ceremony at this hotel had to be a big shot, especially considering the grandeur of the event.
Just then, a sleek, black car pulled up to the entrance, its engine purring softly as it came to a stop.

Instinctively, Jenessa slowed her pace, her gaze fixed on the vehicle.
The door swung open, and a man stepped out, his presence commanding instant attention.
The moment she laid eyes on him, Jenessa’s entire world seemed to freeze. Time stood still, and everything around her faded into silence as she stared at the familiar man.
At that moment, Jenessa grasped what was going on.
The fiancé-to-be of the other engagement ceremony was none other than Ryan, who was also present at that moment.
As Ryan stepped out of the car, Jenessa was caught off guard, unexpectedly locking eyes with him.
Her heart started pounding unusually against her chest. It pounded so violently that she thought it would burst out of her chest if care wasn’t taken.
It was Ryan. It was really him. She swallowed nervously, failing to hide her surprise.
The last time she saw him was at the auction, but it felt like ages since then. Her legs shifted uncomfortably even though she stood still.
However, compared to Jenessa’s failed composure, Ryan appeared completely indifferent. He looked cool, calm, and collected, as though he hadn’t seen a familiar person.
He briefly glanced at Jenessa and Richard with a rather indifferent expression. Then he shifted his gaze back to the car.
It wasn’t long before another figure got out of the car. The person’s view wasn’t clear from afar.
“Be careful.” With an affectionate look on his face, Ryan extended his hand to gently help Maisie step out of the car.
