NovelEnglishChapter 390 Around ten days later, Cole and Sarah's engagement ceremony was held as scheduled.
Given that Cole had only recently broken off an engagement with Regina and was now rushing into another one, the event was kept extremely low-key.
The engagement ceremony was held on the hotel's top floor. The entire Jansen family was present, but only a few elders from the Larson side showed up, along with Cole's parents. Even Calvin made an excuse about needing rest and didn't appear.
The two exchanged rings, and the ceremony ended in a rush. The event wrapped up in a cold, awkward atmosphere.
Sarah threw herself into Rachel's arms, sobbing softly.
"When Cole got engaged to Regina, the celebration was so grand! Why is it so rushed and shabby when it's my turn? It's not fair!" She didn't dare complain to Cole directly, so she could only cling to Rachel and vent.

"What are you so impatient for? Once you marry into the Larsons, you'll have endless wealth and status! If you're already so shortsighted and restless now, how are you going to achieve anything big? How will you becmy support later?" Sarah was stunned by the push.
"Mom, did you just push me?" "You're the one being reckless! What if you hurt your mom?" Howard rushed over, hugging Rachel protectively while glaring at Sarah.
"You're about to have a younger brother. And now, you're already accepted by the Larson family. Isn't it a double blessing? What's the rush? Give it stime. I promise that I'll make sure the Larson family holds a proper engagement party for you again." A younger brother? Sarah stared in disbelief at Rachel's belly.
Glancing down at the engagement dress she was wearing, she felt a wave of bitterness surge in her chest.
Just as she was about to step into the Larson family, a new sibling was on the way to steal sof her spotlight. Holding back the frustration burning inside, she muttered, "Dad, you have to keep your word. You can't forget about my engagement party just because of the baby." "Of course, of course. You're my precious daughter. I'd never let you be treated unfairly," Howard reassured her quickly, but his hands stayed glued protectively to Rachel's belly.
He fully intended to push for a formal engagement party later. After all, how else would people know his daughter was marrying the future head of the Larson family? He still had plans to use this marriage to attract new investors for the Jansen Group.
The three of them stood together, each with their own selfish motives.
Meanwhile, laughter from the Larsons drifted over.
"We've been living overseas for years and don't cback often. Sorry we missed the wedding. Here, just a little gift for you. Please don't refuse it." Another uncle added with a chuckle, "Even Cofe has already engaged. You two got your marriage certificate months ago. How lime.
you haven't thrown a wedding yet? My gift has been gathering dust." "Serena, you're such a beautiful and sweet woman. No wonder Mr. Larson Senior likes you so much..." someone else said warmly.
