Serene's violin was already strumming to another tune, a romantic staple for any marriage proposal.
"Say yes to him—"
"Marry him—"
"Marry him—"
"Marry him—"
Everyone in the crowd was clapping rhythmically, pushing Keira to say yes to Lance.
Keira was very emotional; her face was streaming with tears. She closed her eyes and nodded vigorously. "I agree!"
Lance took Keira's hand and slid the expensive ring onto her slim ring finger.
The crowd erupted into cheers. The applause was deafening.
Keira pulled Lance up from the ground. She was looking at him with a mix of laughter and tears.
"You two can kiss now!"
Amidst the crowd's cheering, Lance pulled Keira close by her waist and dipped in for a kiss.
Keira tilted her head to meet Lance's kiss, but her eyes were looking past Lance's shoulder, straight at Chloe. She didn’t even try to hide her smug expression.
Chloe coldly met Keira's gaze. She stared at Keira for a long time, her eyes filled with a coldness that seemed capable of destroying everything.
Keira... Lance...
She was curious to see how long their romantic love could last. She gave a sarcastic smile, slowly clapping her hands under Keira's gaze.
"If you fall in love with two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second. Love doesn't follow a first-come-first-serve policy, nor does it follow logic. As long as two people are happy, that's all that matters. Mr. Olson, Keira, you two must always be happy!"
Serene's words seemed like the sincerest blessing, but it also reminded everyone of Chloe's awkward existence.
"Oh my god, proposing in front of his ex-fiancée like this. This is...."
"They already had a face-off while competing for the ring."
"I suddenly feel sorry for the ex-fiancée...."
Lance's face changed, and he turned to look at Chloe in the audience.
She was sitting there with a slight smile, ignoring the whispers around her. Her clear, cold eyes held an expression he had never seen before.
