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, | 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.


    “| 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. | also want to thank all of you for


    joining me in tonight''s celebration. | 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. | 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. “Ilpletely 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, | believe you’re a forgiving person and won''t hold a grudge over what happened earlier,” Jennifer spoke in aposed


    tone.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    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. | 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 | 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 | won’t let you off the hook!”
