    Chapter 67


    Kennedy paused, and the crowd fell silent instantly, eagerly awaiting his next words.


    His expression suddenly turned somber as he continued, “I believe you’re aware of the recent events


    involving the Moore family. I’m deeply saddened by this, but for the sake of the continued prosperity of


    the Moore Group, I have decided to announce, in the presence of all of you tonight, the new sessor


    of the Moore Group, Jennifer.”


    As he concluded, he turned his head and gestured for everyone to look upstairs.


    Now adorned in a new pale–yellow gown, Jennifer had her voluminous curls elegantly falling over her


    right shoulder. Even her makeup seemed refined, adding a touch of grace. Her gentle and poised smile


    appeared perfectlyposed as though the events over an hour ago had not urred.


    The guests also offered a courteous round of apuse as they saw her.


    Having learned from her previous experience, Jennifer controlled her temper and descended the stairs


    at a steady pace. Then, he approached Kennedy and shared a heartfelt embrace, exemplifying their


    father–daughter bond.


    Afterward, Kennedy stepped off the stage, leaving it for Jennifer.


    Under the spotlight, Jennifer clutched the microphone. Her eyes were still red, and she felt somewhat


    excited.


    “I want to thank my parents for entrusting me with the responsibility of serving the Moore Group. I’ll


    dedicate myself to learning every aspect of thepany’s operations and strive to contribute to its


    continued sess. I also want to thank all of you for joining me in tonight’s celebration. I hope


    everyone has a wonderful time.”


    Believing her speech had concluded, the guests erupted into another round of apuse.


    However, Jennifer hesitated briefly before continuing, and she even blushed, “Perhaps many of you


    here already know, but I’d still like to extend an invitation to all of you publicly. One month from now, I’ll


    be holding an engagement ceremony with Mr. Elijah Freeman, the CEO of the Freeman Group, at the


    Eastern Hotel. I sincerely hope that you will all be there to witness our love.”


    Jennifer radiated with happiness as she spoke, and she gazed sweetly at Elijah while stealing secret


    nces at Sheena.


    Skye listened intently, then looked at Sheena beside him, who appeared unbothered as she casually


    sipped her ss of red wine.


    Skye still felt a bit concerned and tried to console her, “Sheena, you divorced that jerk not too long ago,


    and now he’s getting engaged again. He’s not a good man. Fortunately, you’re not with him anymore.


    Also, Ms. Moore is clearly trying to assert her dominance by deliberately announcing it in such a grand


    manner. She’s quite cunning.”


    Sheena was amused by his words and chuckled. “Ipletely agree with you.”


    Jennifer saw the two chatting happily, and she could not help but wonder if Sheena was


    pretending to be unbothered because she underestimated her.


    Thinking about that, Jennifer’s eyes shed with a glint of resentment.


    After a slight bow to the audience below, she stepped down from the stage and began to offer toasts


    one by one. She was guided by Vanessa, who disyed impable etiquette, with the waitstaff


    holding wine sses following closely behind.


    Soon, Jennifer made her way over to where Sheena was standing.


    Afterpleting her toasts with others, Jennifer held her ss and looked at Sheena.


    “Sheena, I believe you’re a forgiving person and won’t hold a grudge over what happened earlier,”


    Jennifer spoke in aposed tone.


    Sheena also lifted the ss of red wine in her hand and met Jennifer’s gaze, smiling. “It would seem


    that you don’t know me well enough, Ms. Moore. I happen to be someone who holds grudges, and I’m

    always ready to retaliate.”


    Jennifer was surprised by Sheena’s reply but quickly shed a brighter smile and leaned in closer to


    Sheena’s ear.


    From the onlookers‘ perspective, the two seemed to be getting along well.


    “Hearing about my love with Eli must have stung, didn’t it? You’ve endured three years of hardship in


    the Freeman family, only to be forced to leave him. What a pity,” Jennifer mocked andughed.


    Sheena scoffed.“I’m sorry, but I didn’t witness much affection between you and Mr. Freeman. It would


    seem that you have bad eyesight since you can’t even distinguish between authentic and knockoff.


    You’re probably not the best judge of character either.”


    Jennifer’s smile froze as the memory of her public embarrassment resurfaced. She clenched the wine


    ss tightly and whispered in a spiteful tone, “Don’t be so smug. This is not the end yet, and I won’t let


    you off the hook!”
