Chapter 862
As Sirius was quite eager, he got up, grabbed the microphone, and cleared his throat before delivering his speech.
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend Princess Azalea's birthday party. On behalf of her, I would like to
express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you present in this hall. Everyone is aware that she is my precious only
daughter, whom I cherish all my life. As long as she is happy, I am willing to give up everything. Perhaps some of
you might already recognize the person dancing with Azalea, but I would like to break it to you that he is indeed
Eugene Nolan from Criecia. He's the owner of Nolan Group and Promise Island, and he used to date Princess Azalea
in the past, but they were separated due to reasons. Now that they are back together again, I feel honored to
witness their beautiful relationship. Since the King is here today, I have a small request to ask."
With that, he turned to Hayes and suggested, "Since Your Highness has a close relationship with Eugene, and Azalea
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis in love with him, we're considered well-informed about each other. The marriage between our two families will
only be beneficial to our kingdom. May I ask that Your Highness grant them the permission to be engaged under the
witness of everyone present?" Undoubtedly, Sirius was tactful with his use of words.
He mentioned that they were a family and that obtaining Eugene was a means to strengthen Nambahd with strong
support. However, Hayes was aware of the kind of family they were. He couldn't forget how tragic it was back then.
The reason he was able to sit on the throne was not just because of his hard work, but also because of Eugene who
secretly assisted him. Otherwise, he might not have been able to succeed to the throne.
If he allowed Eugene to be engaged to Azalea, wasn't that equivalent to pushing Eugene to Sirius? He wasn't that
dumb!
Nevertheless, forcibly splitting them in front of the crowd wouldn't only cause Sirius to hold on tight to him, but the
crowd also wouldn't understand his purpose for doing it! Sirius was right. It should only be beneficial to them.
Hence, Hayes declared, "As the head of Nambahd, I am, of course, willing to facilitate this matter. As long as
Eugene and Azalea have no objections, I can make it happen."
Sirius hastily bowed and said, "On behalf of the two children, I would like to thank you for your grace, Your
Highness." After that, while Eugene and Azalea were still dancing, he continued, "Great, then. I would like Your
Highness to be a witness today on Princess Azalea's birthday. I want to add to the merriment by holding the
engagement on this day as well!"
The crowd broke into a round of applause once he finished speaking, but Olivia was the only one who stood up and
almost strode to the stage. They must think she was a pushover! How dare they officiate the engagement of her
boyfriend in front of her! So what if Sirius was the King of the City? He was nothing to her!
As soon as she moved forward aggressively, she was grabbed by someone by the arm, accompanied by Christoff's
cold voice. "What are you doing?"
Olivia shook off his hand and seethed, "Can't you hear that? He's forcing my boyfriend to marry his daughter! Are
there no other men left on the Earth?"

Christoff grabbed her again and pushed her directly into the corner. "Do you know whom you are going against?
He's the King of the City. Haven't you heard the saying of a bankrupt millionaire is more well-off than average
citizens? Just think about the consequences if you were to raise a ruckus."
Olivia broke free from his restraint and countered, "I'm not going to raise a ruckus! Can't I even question my
boyfriend?"
"Your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is Jack Newman. You even have a child called Noah Pearce. Don't forget that you
are Margot Pearce now. How can you ask him that with this appearance of yours?" After hearing those words, Olivia
suddenly realized that she had been so furious that she forgot her appearance had changed.
B*stard! How could he indulge himself in lavish food, have beauties by his side, and even have the King of the City
to support him?!
