Chapter 208: 208: Cancelling the Engagement (5)
They looked up and saw the protagonist of today, Bella Stuart, affectionately holding onto Zachary Stuart’s arm as they walked over.
No matter where Zachary Stuart went, he was an absolutely respected person.
Bella had just come downstairs when she spotted her brother in the crowd, excitedly let go of Zachary’s hand and ran towards Baron Stuart.
“Brother!” Rushing in front, Bella noticed Emily Walker and couldn’t help but pause.
She knew that her brother liked Emily Walker, but why would he bring her to their home now?
Moreover, Grandpa was standing behind them…
Bella carefully turned her head, not knowing if Grandpa had noticed them.
In fact, ever since Grandpa returned to the country, he had known about this matter and had been at odds with his brother during this time. If Brother really brought Emily back home at this moment, Grandpa would probably be furious…
She carefully turned her head and saw Grandpa Zachary, a face with authority and prestige, but now the smile was gone. He stared straight at them.
Zachary Stuart leaned on his crutches, and his face darkened when he saw his grandson holding hands with another girl.
It seemed his beloved grandson was determined to confront him.
Baron Stuart fixed his gaze on his grandfather at the staircase entrance, and in a moment of eye contact, he held Emily Walker’s hand and walked step by step towards Grandpa Zachary.
The people present immediately sensed the strange atmosphere, and the banquet hall quieted down in an instant.
From the very beginning, they had been wondering who the woman next to Baron Stuart was. After all, among them, most people were familiar with Baxter Walker and his daughter Camila.
Everyone knew about the engagement between the Stuart and Walker families a few months ago.
Although the engagement banquet had been a bit strained.
Still, after numerous media reports, everyone knew that the Walker family’s daughter was Baron Stuart’s fiancee, and this marriage was now widely recognized. But now, he appeared here with a mysterious woman, so what was going on?
Everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts while Baron Stuart ignored the stares from the crowd, instead taking Emily Walker’s hand and walking towards Zachary Stuart.
“Are you here to provoke me?” Zachary Stuart asked with a somber tone.
Looking at the elderly man with a compelling aura in front of her, Emily Walker raised her eyes and remained calm.
The old man shared some resemblance with Baron Stuart, along with the intimidating aura that they both emitted.
Baron Stuart’s hand had never let go of Emily’s. His deep, sharp gaze locked onto his grandpa, then he turned around and faced the entire banquet hall. “Thank you all for coming to my sister’s coming-of-age ceremony. I have an announcement to make.”
As soon as Baron Stuart spoke, everyone held their breath, eager to know what he was going to announce and whether it had anything to do with the woman beside him.
“Baron Stuart, do you really want to disgrace your grandpa today?” Knowing what he was about to declare, Zachary Stuart whispered while growling.
Baron Stuart let his eyelids droop, still showing no change in his expression.
He turned around, his dark pupils staring straight at Zachary Stuart, his tone flat, “If Grandpa wanted to save face, he should not have made the decision about this marriage on his own.”
Hearing this, many people present were taken aback, especially the Baxter Walker family of three, whose faces turned extremely bad..
