Madam Sager scoffed upon hearing this and no longer made an issue of it. She had Anne walk her to her seat,
walking past Lisa in the process. Ada followed closely after her and when she passed by Sherry, she made a point
of shooting a hostile glare at her
Sherry scowled but did not otherwise respond to the gesture.
Soon, Madam Sager was seated directly in front and center of the stage.
Anne and Ada took their seats by her side.
Ron went up to Lisa and said while swiping a dismissive glance at Sherry and Carl, “I ended up convincing Mom to
come along with Anne. After all, today is a big day for Carl and it would be wrong to miss the perfect occasion.
She’s here to give her blessings.”
Lisa held back an ugly scowl.

“Thank you, you’re very thoughtful.”
With that, Ron went to his seat, accompanied by Aiden and Caden.
Now that all the guests were installed in their seats, Lisa turned to Carl and Sherry “Carl, Sherry, get ready to go on
stage, I’m going back to my seat as well.”
Carl smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Sherry smiled politely. “Don’t worry about a thing. Aunt Lisa.”
Lisa smiled kindly, then she went to her seat which was right next to Anne’s
With everyone seated, the host marched onto the stage with an air of cheeriness and commenced the engagement
ceremony by giving a short and sweet introduction speech.
After the speech, he raised the pitch of his voice and set the stage for the main event of the day.” And now, let us
welcome the stars of the show, Mr. Carl and Mrs. Sherry!”
This was accompanied by thunderous applause.
Carl beamed with joy as he held out a hand toward Sherry and requested graciously. “Shall we?” Sherry smiled and
gave her his hand.
Hand in hand, the pair stepped onto the red carpet and walked toward the stage, showered by rose petals that
danced in the air and thunderous applause.
After they stepped onto the stage, the crowd cheered.
The host further roused the crowd to a fever pitch, the emotions of the night had reached their peak.
He held up another microphone to Carl and presented him with a question. “Enlighten us, dear Master Sager, what
made you fall for Mrs. Sherry?”
Carl turned to Sherry with a seduced look in his shining eyes.
He announced proudly. “To tell the truth, it was love at first sight.”

The man was holding Caprice in one arm and a pair of binoculars in the other.

A phone was positioned next to him which transmitted a live audio broadcast from the venue.
He heard the host’s ecstatic voice come through the speakers. “Well then, Mrs. Sherry, would your tell us when you
fell in love with Mr. Carl?”
John frowned upon hearing this, he zoomed in on Sherry.
Sherry looked at the host and put on her most genuine smile. “I fell in love with him at first sight as well.”
The host exclaimed, “Wow! You two are truly a match made in heaven!”
Everyone laughed cheerily and applauded.
John scoffed upon hearing this.
Caprice watched her father with a look of intrigue and observed the pair of binoculars in his hand with stark
curiosity.
She did not understand what was so funny about what the host had said and why her father seemed so amused.
However, she had a sense that she heard her mother’s voice on the speaker. She made a weak little pout and
asked, “Daddy, was that Mommy’s voice on the phone?”
