"Back off! I'll kill him if you don't."
As Paul was held hostage, Jamie and the rest of the group had scruples, so they had no choice but to
make way for the pair.
Gale abducted Paul to a lawn with an open view and high terrain, and the guests could only watch in
silence.
The police, who were waiting to arrest Gale, surrounded the hill, along with the guests. All of them were
trying to persuade Gale to plead guilty.
"Mr. Myres, let's talk. We can work it out. Don't burn your bridges."
"Gale Myres, you can't continue like this. Surrender now and you can avoid a death sentence."
"Gale, today is supposed to be a good day. Don't do anything you might regret.!
Their voices became indistinguishable as many people were speaking at once.
Gale kept looking down at his watch. Not only did he ignore their advice, he even yelled at them in
frustration. "Shut up! You think of nothing but your interests. I have seen right through you. You want me
arrested so you can take credit for it and get on Napoleon's good side, right? Do you think I'm your
stepping stone to climbing the social ladder? Dream on!"Flattering the superiors and exploiting the
inferiors was a phenomenon in high society, and Gale was accustomed to it. Thus, he could tell what the
others had in mind.
He wouldn't give them the chance to humiliate him.
His words managed to shut most people up and put the atmosphere in a stalemate.
Watching the cornered man, Narissa recalled their old times together and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"Gale, you can stop this right now. It's not too late to plead guilty. As long as you realize your mistakes,
I'll get you the best lawyer. He'll try his best to minimize your sentence."
However, her words fell on deaf ears as Gale shook his head. "I won't stop. You're free to be a canary
and willingly get kept in the cage, but you can't force me to change. I'm an eagle! I deserve to explore my
ambitions in the vast sky. But now, I haven't made it to the top and made my name in the world. Right
now, nobody has the right to judge me."
At that moment, a roar approached them. All of them looked up at the sky and saw a helicopter closing
in, which eventually hovered over Gale.
Overjoyed to see it, he shouted triumphantly at the crowd, "See that? My helper has arrived. It can only
mean one thing—I'm too young to be trapped behind bars."
Soon, the helicopter descended and hovered two feet off the ground. The cabin door slid open and the
contact poked his head out before waving at Gale. "Mr. Myres, over here!"
Using Paul as his shield, Gale dragged him in the direction of the helicopter.
As expected, when the police noticed his attempt to run away, they drew out their guns and rushed
forward.
Gale took the knife from his companion and pulled it down Paul's arm without hesitation. "One more step
and I'll kill him right now."
His words gave the police pause as those who rushed forward a while ago retreated to their original
spots.
The moment they put their guns down, Gale shoved Paul to the ground before turning around and
jumping into the cabin.
The change in situation alerted the police and they immediately fired shots to stop him. However, the
bullets only hit the cabin due to the distance between them, and the door slid closed before their eyes.
Then, the helicopter quickly ascended into the air, underlining Gale's escape.
In the end, the operation was a failure. The police had no choice but to send Paul to the hospital and
record the Cubers' statements before they left for the time being.
All the drama finally came to a close.
However, the guests were still scattered around the manor.
They didn't stay to discuss Gale. Instead, they were curious about the relationship between the Cuber
Family and the man in the poster, whose name was Jamie.
Also, the purpose of the engagement party piqued their curiosity. Was it a setup to capture Gale, or was
it an introduction to the new family member?
When the audience was having a heated discussion, Napoleon and his wife walked up to the stage. He
then explained the situation himself.
"Almost everyone here is a business associate of mine. As you all know, one has to abide by the law to
keep the longevity of the business. A person deserves punishment when he breaks the law, and this will
protect others' rights and interests. Gale has to suffer the consequences of his doings and it's nobody's
fault but his. I hope everyone can treat what happened a moment ago as a little incident and not talk
about it in the future ever again. You're all here today because I have an important announcement, which
is that my daughter found the love of her life. They're entering into marriage today and will promise to live
out their years together. Everyone, please welcome my daughter Narissa Cuber, and her fiancé, Jamie
Keller to the stage. Now, it's time to hand over the stage to the bride and groom."
Love and marriage would always be timeless topics people enjoyed. At that moment, the guests forgot
about the danger that happened earlier. Instead, they applauded and cheered for the pair.
Jamie and Narissa walked onstage with everyone's eyes on them. Hand in hand, they bowed in every
direction to show their gratitude to the guests.
As expected, some of the guests were cheering for something else. "What are you waiting for? Kiss her!"
Jamie had done it a hundred times. Thus, he unhesitatingly cupped Narissa's face and pressed a kiss on
her lips.
The crowd was looking at a handsome man and a beautiful woman in their elegant outfits. The sight of
the couple kissing each other was greatly appreciated by the guests since it was heartwarming and
sweet.
Elise was standing among the guests. She was sincerely happy for her best friend to find love. However,
a faint pang of envy was bothering her too.
She and Alexander were each other's first love, but she never experienced a wedding or something
similar as her friend did. It became the only thing she regretted in their relationship.
Meanwhile, Alexander seemingly read her mind. His long arms reached out and pulled her into his
embrace. "I promise you an engagement party and a wedding. We'll settle for nothing less. Both will be
grander and more magnificent than Narissa's."
Elise raised her gaze to gaze at him before wrapping her arms around him without a word.
On stage, Napoleon watched in gladness and satisfaction as Narissa leaned against Jamie lovingly. As
happiness bloomed inside his heart, he decided to give away his company.
"I hereby announce that Jamie will take the position of acting president of Napoleon International Trade
Co. one week later. He will represent me in fully managing the company's affairs."
This meant that Jamie would have full control over the Cuber Family's business in the future.
Just like that, Napoleon gave out his entire assets as a wedding gift, indicating he was satisfied with
Jamie as his son-in-law.
It was a huge contrast to his attitude two days ago.
After Jamie took Irvin's medicine, he was asleep for three whole days. Once he woke up, he went to see
Napoleon with Narissa in tow and asked the man for his daughter's hand.
At first, Napoleon disapproved of it. He wasn't satisfied with the Keller Family either. However, when he
learned Jamie was one of Elise's friends, he immediately changed his mind and approved of the
marriage.
He said, "If Elise was the one who wanted to marry you, I won't even hesitate and will immediately hold a
wedding for you, let alone her friend."
Elise was indeed a charming woman. In Napoleon and Narissa's opinions, she was more dependable
than most men.
After Napoleon gave them his blessing, Jamie was immediately surrounded by the guests when he
walked off the stage. Everyone was trying to make his acquaintance.
Narissa was shouldered out by the crowd. Watching the crowd overwhelming Jamie with their presence,
she walked away to seek Elise out without even bothering to give Jamie a hand.
As soon as she joined Elise, her father caught up with her and dragged Alexander aside for a drink.
"Come here, buddy. We didn't get to drink all we wanted last time. Let's get drunk today!"
Narissa couldn't suppress her surprise. "What did my father just call him?"
Seeing her father acknowledging her best friend's husband as a friend, a question occurred to her and
she questioned, "What should I call you, then? Mrs. Griffith?"
It brought Elise up a rank.
Elise couldn't stop laughing at that. "Just keep it the same."
