Chapter 595 How About a Kiss on the Spot
The place went dead quiet.
Everyone thought they must've heard wrong.
Even Nathan, standing next to Molly, couldn't help but frown and gently correct her. "Miss Collins, you made a mistake. Today's engagement is for Adeline and my eldest son, Jasper. My younger son, Rex, is still single."
Then he glanced at Rex and added, "Still a virgin."
Molly smirked, "I didn't say anything wrong."
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Adeline, who was clutching a small box with white knuckles. "I'm congratulating my sister Adeline on her engagement to Rex from the Foster family. Adeline, am I right?"
Adeline stood there, her mind spinning. She couldn't forget the contents of the letter she was holding. But she hadn't expected Molly to make her confess to being engaged to Rex!
She bit her lip hard and turned her gaze to Rex behind Molly.
Despite sharing the same father, Rex and Jasper were completely different in both looks and personality!
Jasper had this natural arrogance and cold nobility, which Rex totally lacked. From Nathan, Rex had inherited a knack for sleaze, an overwhelming confidence, and a certain unscrupulousness.
In fact, just a couple of hours ago, Rex had kidnapped Adeline and tried to assault her in an abandoned warehouse!
Moreover, Molly was using Sebastian and Bennett to force her to admit she was engaged to Rex!
Adeline gritted her teeth, thinking of Sebastian and Bennett, and reluctantly nodded. "Yes."
The crowd erupted in shock. Everyone started whispering among themselves!
They came for the engagement ceremony of Jasper and Adeline, as clearly stated in the invitation. Photos of the couple were displayed all over the venue.
But now, Molly was saying today's engagement was for Adeline and Rex, the illegitimate son of the Foster family?
The most crucial part was that Adeline herself had confirmed it!
In their shock, everyone couldn't help but look at Jasper, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Jasper gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. He was too smart not to see through Molly's scheme.
If he guessed correctly, the so-called gift box Adeline was holding contained something related to Sebastian and Bennett that could threaten her.
Jasper squinted, focusing intently on Adeline from across the room. The Adeline he knew would always seek his help whenever she faced a problem.
When they first got married, she was so clingy that he often regarded her as completely helpless. However, facing Molly's threat, she neither sought his assistance nor mentioned it to him.
She believed she could endure all the grievances to protect Sebastian and Bennett.
But Jasper knew very well that even if Adeline didn't do as Molly said today, Molly wouldn't dare to harm Bennett and Sebastian. After all, they were the only leverage she had against them.
Adeline was so concerned about them that she ignored his emotions and the potential harm to herself, agreeing to Molly's demands without hesitation.
"Sir." Seeing everyone looking at Jasper with unfriendly eyes, Ryan lowered his voice and asked, "Should we clear the venue?"
If they didn't put a stop to this, things would spiral out of control. But tonight's event was Jasper's show, and his people were everywhere.
With just one command, neither Nathan nor Molly could do anything to him.
Why were these people looking at Jasper like that?
He glanced at Ryan indifferently. "Clearing the venue now would make it seem like I'm losing my temper?"
Ryan was taken aback, pursed his lips, and stayed silent.
"Who said I was getting engaged to Adeline?" On stage, Rex shot an angry glare at both Molly and Adeline. "I never agreed to this."
"Mr. Rex Foster." Molly interrupted him with a faint smile in her voice. "Don't you want to marry a beautiful woman like Adeline? She is a renowned jewelry designer, and the Foster Group has a jewelry business. If you two are together, you can surely elevate the Foster Group's jewelry division."
Molly's words left Rex stunned. He glanced dumbly in Adeline's direction. She was so beautiful, with such a great figure.
He recalled the roundness of her chest and the smoothness of her skin from the warehouse, swallowing hard.
Rex didn't catch Molly's implication, but Nathan did.
Molly was hinting that if Rex married Adeline, he would control the Foster Group's jewelry division! If Rex could marry Adeline, the jewelry division of the Foster Group would undoubtedly be his.
Thinking of this, Nathan quickly pulled Rex forward, "Rex, you remembered wrong. Today is indeed your engagement ceremony with Adeline."
Rex paused, then finally took a deep breath, "Yes, that's right. Today is my engagement ceremony with Adeline!"
He happily looked at the crowd. "It was a mistake by the wedding company. They only knew Mr. Jasper Foster from the Foster family, not that there was also Mr. Rex Foster!
"They got the names and people mixed up!
"Today, I'm the one who's getting engaged to Adeline!"
After saying that, he shamelessly glanced at Adeline standing below the stage.
At this moment, she was wearing a light blue sequined dress, looking tall, slender, and elegant, even more alluring than when he had kidnapped her!
"That's more like it." Molly chuckled and looked at Adeline, who was standing below the stage, her whole body cold. "Adeline, you and Mr. Rex Foster are the main characters today. He's on stage, so why are you still standing there? Come up."
Adeline paused, then finally took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.
From the floor to the stage, it was a short distance, but it felt like an eternity for Adeline. She could feel Jasper's burning gaze from his wheelchair in the distance. She knew he must be very angry now.
But she had no choice. Sebastian's and Bennett's safeties were more important.
She walked onto the stage and numbly picked up the microphone. "Thank you all for coming to my engagement ceremony with Rex."
The crowd erupted again.
What a dramatic family dispute!
Even the engagement ceremony could have brothers switching places!
"Adeline, you and Mr. Rex Foster are so in love and engaged." Molly smirked and glanced at Adeline. "Why not prove your love with a kiss right here?"
