Beyond the Divorce



The people in the hall suddenly fell silent as we waited for Arthur's speech.

Like us, everyone here was speculating about the purpose of the Morgan family's invitation.

Arthur cheerfully said, "Everyone here at this Morgan family gathering today are my dear friends and relatives. Perhaps you're curious about why I invited you all here today?"

We all looked at each other, and someone loudly said, "Yes! Stop keeping us in suspense, Mr. Arthur! We've been trying to guess what this is all about!"

Arthur laughed heartily. He was clearly very happy.

Then he loudly declared, "I have some good news to announce! This is the engagement banquet of my daughter Mia Morgan and the son of the President of the Monora Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Leonard's son, Ernest Tomlinson!"

There was instantly an uproar, with people complaining, "This isn't right, Mr. Arthur! You should have told us this was such a big event. Look, we..." "That's right, Mr. Arthur, you were wrong to do this!"

"We should have brought gifts! This is a big event! Congratulations!"

Arthur raised his hand to silence the crowd, "Thank you all! This is the first happy event for the Morgan family in many years!"

"Because of my official duties, I can't throw a big party for my daughter's engagement, but I wanted everyone to share in my joy, so I held this little banquet for my friends and relatives to witness and share the Morgan family's happiness!"

"Those who are here are my trusted confidants and family members. We won't accept any gifts, of course. Let's just gather,have a good meal, and enjoy ourselves!"Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The VIPs nodded in admiration, praising Arthur's integrity and congratulating him.

I glanced at Lauren and said, "So that's why we haven't seen Mia."

Arthur shouted again, "Now, let's welcome the newlyweds!"

Arthur was genuinely happy today. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally presided over such an occasion. At this moment, he was a kind and respectable patriarch, and a good father figure.

Arthur was clearly satisfied with the Tomlinson family.

Arthur's caution was also evident. He had exhibited his integrity by planning a small, low-key engagement dinner, treating it like a private party, and refusing to accept gifts.

Arthur was cunning and sophisticated. Although he seemed low-key, his methods were very sophisticated.

"Who exactly are the Tomlinson family?" Lauren peered up at the staircase with great anticipation, waiting for the newly engaged couple to appear.

I looked over and said, "Not just anyone can catch Mia's eye."

At that moment, the lovely couple descended the curved staircase.

17:

I couldn't help but gaze at Mia. She was wearing a moon-white dress on her elegant body. Her usually icy face was softened by her jet-black hair that was fashioned like a sea wave. Mia seemed like a proud princess in her light makeup and unique aloof temperament.

The man beside her was dressed in a white suit with a moon-white shirt and bow tie and seemed handsome and noble, exuding an aristocratic air from head to toe. I wasn't surprised that he had caught this aloof Foswood woman.

They were a perfect match. They slowly descended the steps and stood beside Arthur.

Arthur immediately invited Leonard to join them, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Leonard glanced at the guests and said, "Thank you for your kindness! I'm happy to invite you all to witness the engagement banquet of my son, Ernest, with the young lady of the Morgan family, Ms. Mia. Let's celebrate the sweet love of this

couple finally coming to fruition!"

The guest continued to cheer and clap.

My gaze was fixed on Ernest, who had been beside Mia the whole time.
