Chapter 862

As Sirius was quite eager, he got up, grabbed the microphone, and cleared his throat before delivering

his speech. "Thank you all for taking the time to attend Princess Azalea's birthday party. On behalf of

her, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you present in this hall. Everyone is aware

that she is my precious only daughter, whom I cherish all my life. As long as she is happy, I am willing

to give up everything. Perhaps some of you might already recognize the person dancing with Azalea,

but I would like to break it to you that he is indeed Eugene Nolan from Criecia. He's the owner of Nolan

Group and Promise Island, and he used to date Princess Azalea in the past, but they were separated

due to reasons. Now that they are back together again, I feel honored to witness their beautiful

relationship. Since the King is here today, I have a small request to ask."

With that, he turned to Hayes and suggested, "Since Your Highness has a close relationship with

Eugene, and Azalea is in love with him, we're considered well-informed about each other. The marriage

between our two families will only be beneficial to our kingdom. May I ask that Your Highness grant

them the permission to be engaged under the witness of everyone present?" Undoubtedly, Sirius was

tactful with his use of words.

He mentioned that they were a family and that obtaining Eugene was a means to strengthen Nambahd

with strong support. However, Hayes was aware of the kind of family they were. He couldn't forget how

tragic it was back then. The reason he was able to sit on the throne was not just because of his hard

work, but also because of Eugene who secretly assisted him. Otherwise, he might not have been able

to succeed to the throne.

If he allowed Eugene to be engaged to Azalea, wasn't that equivalent to pushing Eugene to Sirius? He

wasn't that dumb!

Nevertheless, forcibly splitting them in front of the crowd wouldn't only cause Sirius to hold on tight to

him, but the crowd also wouldn't understand his purpose for doing it! Sirius was right. It should only be

beneficial to them.

Hence, Hayes declared, "As the head of Nambahd, I am, of course, willing to facilitate this matter. As

long as Eugene and Azalea have no objections, I can make it happen."

Sirius hastily bowed and said, "On behalf of the two children, I would like to thank you for your grace,

Your Highness." After that, while Eugene and Azalea were still dancing, he continued, "Great, then. I

would like Your Highness to be a witness today on Princess Azalea's birthday. I want to add to the

merriment by holding the engagement on this day as well!"

The crowd broke into a round of applause once he finished speaking, but Olivia was the only one who

stood up and almost strode to the stage. They must think she was a pushover! How dare they officiate

the engagement of her boyfriend in front of her! So what if Sirius was the King of the City? He was

nothing to her!

As soon as she moved forward aggressively, she was grabbed by someone by the arm, accompanied

by Christoff's cold voice. "What are you doing?"

Olivia shook off his hand and seethed, "Can't you hear that? He's forcing my boyfriend to marry his

daughter! Are there no other men left on the Earth?"

Christoff grabbed her again and pushed her directly into the corner. "Do you know whom you are going

against? He's the King of the City. Haven't you heard the saying of a bankrupt millionaire is more well-

off than average citizens? Just think about the consequences if you were to raise a ruckus."

Olivia broke free from his restraint and countered, "I'm not going to raise a ruckus! Can't I even

question my boyfriend?"

"Your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is Jack Newman. You even have a child called Noah Pearce. Don't

forget that you are Margot Pearce now. How can you ask him that with this appearance of yours?" After

hearing those words, Olivia suddenly realized that she had been so furious that she forgot her

appearance had changed.

B*stard! How could he indulge himself in lavish food, have beauties by his side, and even have the

King of the City to support him?!
