Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Announce The News In the private room, Wendy lifted her head slowly. There were no traces of tears on her face. “Now just wait and see!” Magdalene tugged at the corners of her lips confidently. The only other way to get rid of the rumors other than canceling the engagement was to go through with it!

She was certain that Melody was thinking the same thing!

The next morning, when Byron arrived at the office, he noticed that Luther‘s expression was slightly odd.

“What‘s the matter?” Byron asked, confused. Luther hesitated for a moment, but he could not hold back his curiosity. “Master, are you and Miss Fuller…” Byron frowned slightly.

“What about us?” Seeing the confusion on his master‘s face, Luther added carefully, “Are you two really going to get married?” He immediately lowered his head after asking. He had heard the rumors first thing in the morning. Everyone was saying that his master was finally going to get engaged to Miss Fuller.

Outsiders may not know any better, but Luther had been following Byron all this time. He personally saw how close Byron was to Rosalie, and he knew Byron had no feelings for Miss Fuller whatsoever.

He did not agree to the wedding for the past six years. Why would he agree now?

It just did not make sense to Luther. Byron‘s expression darkened in an instant. “Where did you hear that from?!” His tone told Luther everything he needed to know. Luther said solemnly, “Everyone‘s talking about it. It even made some early edition newspapers.” He pulled out his phone and found the headlines online, showing them to Byron. “The Lawrences and the Fullers to be Joined in Matrimony!”

“After Six Long Years, It‘s Finally Happening!“…

Byron saw the many headlines and even caught a glimpse of the comments below the articles.

Everyone was saying that he and Wendy were a match made in heaven. It was just a quick glance, but Byron was already emanating a dangerously cold aura. “Look into this at once. Find out who started the rumor!” The news had somehow travelled far and wide overnight.

He wanted to know who in Coast City had the guts to spread these lies about him!

It was clear that the person behind the news did not intend to stay hidden.

An hour later, Luther found out who it was. He walked into the President‘s office to inform Byron.

Byron‘s heart sank slightly when he saw Luther‘s expression. “I found out who it was, Master. The orders came from… the Chairperson‘s office,” Luther said cautiously. He was shocked to find out about the mastermind too. He even heard that the Chairperson‘s assistant had called all the major media outlets overnight and ordered them to release the news first thing in the morning.

The media outlets even postponed their previously–scheduled stories to publish news of the upcoming marriage. Within a single morning, the news had taken over all the headlines. The entire Coast City was talking about it.

Byron was stunned for a few seconds, then he nodded expressionlessly. “I see. You may leave now.”

Luther nodded. He could tell that his master was in a very bad mood, so he crept out of the office and made sure not to make a single sound even when he closed the door.

Inside the office, Byron stood up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window. Looking at the scenery outside, he tried to organize his messy thoughts. His parents had brought up his engagement to Wendy many times over the years, but he put it off every time. He thought they would understand what he meant by that. After six years of persuasion, he never expected them to just bypass his own desires and announce the engagement to the world at large.
