Chapter 331


    As night fell, Ins Garden Venue was bustling with people, filled with the fragrance of perfumes and the


    glitter of elegant attire. Bright lights illuminated the hall filled with hundreds of rtives and friends from


    the Nightshade and Martinez families, shareholders, andpanions


    Laughter and lively conversations filled the air, as guests chatted, clinking their sses in toasts,


    commenting on the romantic decorations of fresh flowers, colorful ribbons, and heart–shaped candles


    around them, “I wonder what the big news is today that brought us all here today!”


    “Everyone here is either a rtive or friend of the Nightshade and Martinez families. It must be


    something rted to a marriage. Auntie said there would be a surprise, so let’s just wait and seel”


    “Matt has been standing on the stage for quite a while. Why isn’t Xan here yet?‘Suddenly, a song


    yed in the hall, and a violin ensemble started to perform melodiously. Colorful balloons floated up,


    and therge LED screen on stage disyed a series of romantic and beautiful scenes.


    There were including blessings from strangers, group photos of the Nightshade and Martinez families


    together, and heartfelt derations of love.


    The nner handed Matthew a bouquet of bright roses, who took it excitedly and walked to the


    microphone, “Good evening,dies and gentlemen, family and friends! The reason we’ve all gathered


    here tonight is to share a moment very dear to me, and I’d like you all to witness…


    With the music, flowers, and his words, everyone understood what was happening–a proposal!


    “I would like to formally propose to Xan!”


    As Matthew finished speaking, Xanthea descended the spiral staircase.


    She was draped in a suit jacket, wearing a pink floor–length gown that perfectly entuated her figure.


    Her stunning beauty elicited spontaneous apuse from everyone present.


    “Xan looks gorgeous; Matt’s a lucky guy!”


    “Ms. Nightshade has be even more radiant and beautiful than before!”


    ?? ? ?? * ? ??? ???? ? ? —


    In the front row Gabriel and Penelope were grinning ear to ear as they watched Xanthea. They had


    been waiting for this moment for so long, and now Matthew was finally going to marry Xanthea!


    The Martinez family not only had a beautiful daughter–inw but also the Martinez Group and


    Nightshade Group would officially unite. With the Nightshade Group’s support, the Martinez Group


    would no longer worry about financing, stock prices, or operations. And Matthew would also never be


    mocked for his humble origins in high society.


    Miranda pped with a bright smile, though her eyes betrayed mockery and disdain.


    My dear sister, you must feel so happy and content right now, finally about to marry the man you’ve


    loved for all these years.


    Too bad your man has already slept with me!


    And your nightmare is just beginning. I will use any means necessary to destroy your marriage, your


    family, and everything you hold dear. Just you wait and see!


    “Xan has finally grown up and is getting married.


    Susanna, despite being mentally prepared, couldn’t help but tear up at this moment. Christopher smiled


    and patted her back. “This is a happy asion, why the tears? Xan has loved Matthew for so many


    years. Marrying him is her heart’s desire fulfilled.”


    “Matthew and Xan are a perfect match, truly a beautiful couple!”


    “Absolutely! After all these years of friendship and love, their rtionship is truly enviable!”

    “Indeed, and now it’s alling to fruition.”


    Amidst the continuous blessings and apuse, only Oliver felt restless, unable to sit still.
