Josiah and Kelly exchanged a smile. With the latter’s hand gesture, the lights were suddenly dimmed.
Just as the guests gasped, the spotlight focused on Zephyr and Cordelia.
The world focused on the two of them, while Zephyr focused only on Cordelia.
A large ball on the ceiling in the center of the hall slowly opened, showering rose petals. Alongside the soft lighting,
melody, and colorful bubbles, everything felt beautiful and dreamy.
Cordelia was stunned by the scene that greeted her and was rendered speechless.
Zephyr looked at her softly. He had made an effort to set this up for her and had already talked to the Tanners
about it.
It was just brought forward due to Michelle.
Zephyr got down on one knee before Cordelia with a smile and pulled out a diamond ring. The diamond was ten
carats and exuded a prismatic shine under the lights with its perfect cut.

“What a rare sight! I need to video this!”
“Right!? I might get the highest traffic to date if it’s shared on my social media! Haha…”
People whispered among themselves, all of them looking surprised and anticipating. After all, the impression they
had of Zephyr was so aloof that he was barely worldly like he had no emotion.
Today, however, right now, they witnessed a totally different Zephyr Hamerton.
“Cordelia.” Zephyr looked into Cordelia’s eyes with a bright gaze and uttered the two words formally with his husky
voice, “Marry me.”
A few seconds of silence later, the whole place went crazy.
Was this still the Zephyr Hamerton they knew? That merciless and cool business prodigy Zephyr?
The tenderness overflowing in his eyes and his captivating smile, though—and he was proposing to Cordelia on one
knee!
“Oh my gosh” was the most common exclamation from the crowd. It was as if there was nothing else aside from
this to express their envy and surprise.
Michelle was baffled and frozen. It felt like a flash of lightning struck her, and her mind went blank.
“Michelle…” Nancy was shocked. “What happened? Didn’t you say you got along well with Zephyr?!”
“Oh, goodness, don’t you know what your artist’s like?” The award-winning actress mocked, “Hah, get her someone
she can qualify to cling to if you want to get her a sponsor, you know?”
“Michelle said that Mr. Z doesn’t like other women approaching him!”
The other female celebrities giggled and added fuel to the fire.
“Only Michelle could approach him!”
“Really? Is this a joke!?”
“Mich, I think you shouldn’t sing anymore. I’m afraid you won’t be able to after offending Mr. Zephyr and Ms.
Cordelia! Oh, why don’t you switch to stand-up comedy instead? You’re funny. There must be people who want to

“Hahaha…”
Michelle clenched her fists and shook in anger. She was going to lash out when Nancy swiftly held her back and
eyed her.
Cheers broke out from the crowd at the same time!
“I do! I do!”
Indignant, Michelle looked, following the voices.
She saw Cordelia standing in the center with all the attention in the world. She blushed, nervous and shy, as her
hands fidgeted like she did not know what to do with them. Despite that, her expression was blissful.
Zephyr held her hand with a chortle and slid the ring down her ring finger.
“Alright, get up!” Cordelia pulled him up with a smile.
Once Zephyr got up, he pulled her into a hug. Cordelia was flushed red as she snuggled into his embrace.
Josiah was cheering the loudest with an excited dance but immediately toned himself down after Kelly glanced at
him, smiling and scratching his head.
Kelly grinned as well as she held Josiah’s hand, feeling the warmth of each other’s palms.
