    Chapter 167 Rejection.


    On the other hand, the blonde maid could not hold her tongue and said, “Yes. Tonight, Mr. Fox will slide


    the ring representing eternity onto your finger, so wear something special. Also, as of today, Miss Alice


    will officially be a jewelry designer.”


    After hearing that, Monica’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm. Is this what Edward referred to when he said


    he would lend a hand?


    “The ring you’re endorsing is also expected to fetch a high price at auction, and Mr. Edward intends to


    compensate you generously for this, the maid continued.


    Suddenly, Monica felt like she was floating on cloud nine.


    “Come on, Miss Keller. Quickly decide on an outfit so that we can apply your makeup. Many notable


    people, including A-list celebrities, will attend tonight’s banquet. Therefore, it is essential that your


    hairstyle and outfitplement each other perfectly. Besides Miss Alice, you will be the brightest star


    of the evening.”


    “Very well. I’ll get to it right away.” Monica had not felt this happy in a long time.


    Meanwhile, in a rather unusual building to the east of the castle, there was an extremely opulent


    meeting room filled with the faint aroma of tea, where Edward greeted Stanley warmly upon his arrival.


    While the two businessmen were inside talking, the bodyguards diligently stood by the door.

    Edward was impably dressed and sat in his custom-made wheelchair that cost seven million with a


    blue throw nket draped over his legs. Despite being in his fifties, he appeared much younger. Then,


    he ced an intricate purple box on the coffee table and said, “Take a look at this, Mr. Fox.”


    Stanley picked it up and opened it with a flick of his slim fingers, revealing a ring that shimmered and


    sparkled with a unique glow. The moment heid eyes on it, he found it to be exquisite. The diamond


    iys are so distinctive that they form a beautiful heart shape; I do not doubt that any woman would


    find it irresistible.


    “What do you think?” Edward asked eagerly. “My daughter designed it hernovelxo fast updateself.”


    When Stanley heard this, he was surprised to learn that an eighteen-year-old was the designer. After


    that, he carefully removed the ring from the box and examined it. Ten tiny diamonds encircled therger


    diamond, reminding him of hands tenderly cradling a treasured possession, just as a groom would do


    for his most cherished bride, which was exquisite and not at all gaudy. While this concept is somewhat


    stereotypical, it will be very popr among women. “Is this the one and only ring?” he asked.


    “Currently, yes.” There was a proud smile on Edward’s face, and he added. “This will be her first official


    design. She ns to set up a brand specializing in custom wedding rings. Every man who walks


    through her door can only buy one ring in his entire lifetime, as this will be bound to their identification


    documents.”


    “That’s not a bad idea, and her designs are quite appealing.” Stanley concluded. “Dreams are


    important to the younger generation. As her father, you should support her.”


    Edward was happy to hear that. “Can you help her film an advertisement? It’ll be tonight,” he said,


    laying out his n. “While all the reporters are watching, put this ring on Monica tonight in a romantic


    wedding. proposal. Everyone will think you’re the perfect couple. After all, you’re both talented and


    gorgeous individuals. Of course, I know that you’re married. Still, this is just an advertisement. It’s only


    an act. We just need the masses to buy into it.”


    “I’m fine with being the brand ambassador,” Stanley replied, picking up the porcin cup to sip the tea.


    “Thank you!” Edward eximed happily.


    Stanley then ced the cup down and calmly stared at Edward. “However, I do not want to cause any


    misunderstandings. As a husband, I don’t want my wife to be distressed by such a scandal.”


    “Mrs. Fox will surely understand that it is just an advertisement.” Edward was a very open-minded man.


    “You even have kids, so your rtionship must be stable enough to withstand this. His years living


    abroad had evidently twisted his perception of society in his homnd.


    “It is not because of her, Stanley borated. “I am the one who does not want that to happen. She has


    nothing to do with that decision.”


    Suddenly, Edward’s smile went stiff as he silently stared at Stanley.


    “As I’ve said. I’m fine with endorsing the ring and assisting in filming an advertisement,” Stanley


    continued with a gentle tone. It cannot happen now, and definitely not tonight. I’ll bring my wife along to


    the next meeting. Then, we’ll shoot the advertisement when, where, and how you want it to be.”


    Edward was at a loss for words. After hearing what Stanley said, any further attempts to persuade him


    to go along with the n would make Edward appear unscrupulous.


    After that, Stanley smiled as sincerity shimmered in his eyes, and he continued, “I love her, so I must


    reject all rumors and scandals for her sake. I hope you can understand that.”


    It was an absolute shock for Edward to hear that Stanley, a man who kept such a distance from other


    women that no rumors were ever circted about him, would actually be so devoted.
