Chapter 206
A man like Alan, who had weathered his fair share of trials and tribulations, would not usually be
shaking with excitement like that.
Everyone was certainly interested, just as he spoke determinedly with great vigor. “My grandson will be
formally engaged to Jessica Stuart, heiress of Stuart Holdings!”
Every guest was left in shock-there was no question that it was a big deal.
It already went without question that John would inherit Levine Ventures, even if no one had expected it
to be this early.
On the other hand, no one would have expected John to be engaged to Jessica Stuart, the heiress to
Rocktown’s most important family!
Ever since John returned to the Zidonia, countless heiresses were getting restless, eager to get a shot
at marrying him… only for this to happen?!

She was wearing a pink gown that was attractive instead of tacky and not too reserved either. The tiny
diamonds refracted a myriad radiance off the ground, presenting her fair skin as glowing.
Rarely was there a woman who could wear pink and still retain such a sense of superiority.
She strode up confidently to stand beside John, who happened to have a pink shirt collar on his
tailored suit. Initially, it gave the impression of being unique and tailored to his personality, an
appropriate celebratory hue given the occasion.
When Jessica stood beside him, however, the hue made them appear no different from a couple.
Everyone understood right then.
Though all of them were rich and powerful as well, they could not help acknowledging and envying this
engagement.
The Levines and the Stuarts were a match in wealth and importance, while John and Jessica were a
match made in heaven.
It was a shame they missed out, but they could only offer their blessings since they had no way to
compete, even if John was glowering just then.
Those who were more observant would notice that Alan was grabbing tightly onto John’s hand, and
those who did not know would think that it was a gesture of Alan’s unshakable attachment to his
grandson.
Only Alan knew what he was doing!
Cordy stood amid the crowd and watched as the drama unfolded on stage.
How should she describe how she felt? It was just so difficult.
She suddenly remembered John telling her that there was nothing between him and Jessica.
In that case, why the sudden announcement of their engagement?
Cordy turned to leave.
There were people who had a higher tolerance for anything happening to them because they were
used to it.

And Cordy was used to abandonment, deceit, and being toyed with.
That was why she could laugh in the face of it all, no matter how terrible things got.
Her world had long since become invincible.
However, John noticed that she was leaving and firmly shook off Alan’s hand, sprinting down the stage.
The guests were left restless-they could all clearly see John’s rage.
Could the engagement be one-sided?
Everyone could not help turning toward Jessica right then.
After all, the Stuarts were almost equal to the Levines in importance-in fact, the Stuarts had the backing
of an even greater influence.
If Jessica held any dissatisfaction toward the Levines, none of the Levines would breathe a word. Even
so, she did not appear agitated toward John’s sudden departure. Though there was disappointment
and slight awkwardness in her eyes, she was disciplined well enough to keep her pleasant smile.
She certainly showed grace and poise!
