"

Sophie and Colby left the Costello estate together. Sophie was feeling a bit uneasy. "Colby, is your grandfather... reliable?"

"I'm not sure about that, but he wanted to organize my parents' engagement party back in the day. However, my father firmly disagreed. He finally gets a chance to meddle in his grandson's engagement party, so let's just let him do it."

"...Well, I hope it won't be too extravagant."

Before Sophie could finish her sentence, the Costello estate's alarms began to blare.

The various units quickly assembled as a message floated through the air via loudspeakers.

"Attention, attention! Mr. Colby is soon to be wed. All departments assemble and be on alert..."

Hearing the announcement, Sophie covered her face in embarrassment. She just hoped... hoped that the engagement party would go smoothly.

Back at home, Sophie discovered her phone was flooded with missed calls from Jenna. When she returned the calls, Jenna excitedly exclaimed, "Sophie, way to go! You've finally ditched that loser James!" Sophie blinked in surprise. "How did you know?"

She hadn't even gotten around to telling Jenna. The news spread too quickly!

"How could I not know? It's all over the country now!"

Realizing what Jenna meant, Sophie quickly turned on the TV, only to see it broadcasting the news. "Joyous News! The heir to the Costello Corporation is set to engage with the daughter of the Russell family!" Sophie watched the news play on a loop for half an hour. She was dumbstruck.

Lennon was making a global announcement!

"I finally understand why your father firmly refused to let your grandfather organize his engagement party."

This was a disaster in the making!

Sure enough, within ten minutes, the news exploded on smartphones, with everyone talking about her and Colby's marriage.

[Can't believe the modern-day Casanova is the head of the Costello Corporation! How cool is that!]

[Is this some CEO fantasy novel that has come to life?]

[Mr. Burke's engagement is about to

be overshadowed. I heard through the grapevine that both

engagements are on the same day, and the venues will be right next to each other...]

Sophie could only focus on that

most eye-catching piece of news et

"Engagements will be on the same day, and the venues will be next to each other..."

Sophie murmured to herself and looked up at Colby, only to find him shirtless, revealing a well-toned body and irresistible abs.

At the sight, Sophie quickly turned her head away. "Why are you stripping in broad daylight!"

Colby's lips curled into a smirk. "I'm just taking a shower. Why are you suddenly so shy?"

He stepped forward, sweeping Sophie into his arms. His focus was never on the speculative news but on Sophie, the beautiful woman in front of him. Colby whispered, "Today is a special day. I think we should properly celebrate."

With that, Colby leaned closer to Sophie's earlobe, gently biting it.

Meanwhile

Inside the Summerfield Minton International office, cries of despair reached Odie's ears.

"Mr. Odie! Please have mercy, Mr. Odie..."

Odie watched the news of Colby and Sophie's upcoming engagement on the television with a cold gaze, fists clenched, a hint of danger in his tone. "Colby, you've played me again."
