Chapter 22 Engagement Party
Ethan was worried that she might agree just because of the unborn child, even though she didn’t truly desire to.
Noticing the concern in his eyes, Alyssa smiled and extended her right hand.
“Didn’t you prepare the ring a long time ago? Why don’t you put it on me?”
Ethan was overjoyed. He immediately took out the rings he had prepared and laid them out one by one on the hospital bed.
Looking at the row of colorful diamond rings on the bed, Alyssa rubbed her forehead and smiled wryly.
“You’ve prepared so many, but I can’t wear them all at once!”
Nonetheless, Ethan carefully picked up a pink diamond ring and gently slid it onto her finger, his hand slightly trembling. “I think these vulgar things are not worthy of you.
“You can attach them to a necklace and wear them around your neck for fun.” He then kissed the corners of her mouth. “No one will have more
rings than you.”
The Dawson family valued Alyssa’s feelings, so their engagement party was arranged soon and was incredibly grand.
In the elegant and sacred manor, pink rose petals were strewn from the manor’s exterior all the way to the castle entrance, leaving a deep impression on all the guests.

On that day, Alyssa stood on the stage in a Haute Couture gown, while Ethan was the man making his way towards her from the far end of the
stage.
This was not merely a shift in identity and status; it also symbolized
Ethan’s stance and dedication to her.
His love for her was steadfast.

Following the conclusion of the ceremony, Alyssa and Ethan went to greet the elders of the Dawson family. However, just as they started their conversation, a shrill female voice shattered the warm ambiance.
“Grace, you bitch!”
Kelly had been deported to Atkina two years ago. Struggling in an unfamiliar land with no money, she lived in abject poverty, scraping by with part–time jobs. She often went hungry and endured constant bullying, suffering a great deal.
Now, Tyrell had brought her back, solely to use her in an arranged marriage to curry favor with rich men. Even today, he made her attend the Dawson family’s engagement party, hoping she would snag a rich husband to boost the Kaufman Group’s development.
Kelly had lost everything. Her former luxurious life was but a distant memory. She believed that Grace was the root cause of all her
misfortunes.
Kelly thought to herself, “If Grace hadn’t died so unexpectedly, Antonio wouldn’t have lashed out at me!
“Now the Kaufman family is bankrupt, and we’re in dire straits. But she’s managed to change her identity and is about to marry another rich man. Why is she so lucky?

“I can’t wait to see how the Dawson family will react when they find she’s
a married woman!
“Grace, do you think you can fool everyone just by changing your name? Do you really think you can deceive the Dawson family?”
Kelly shouted, “Mr. Dawson! You’ve been deceived. This woman isn’t Alyssa. She’s my brother’s ex–wife, a liar who swindles money…”
With a bang, Carley, who had rushed over from abroad wearing sunglasses, slapped Kelly.
“How dare you make trouble at my brother and brother–in–law’s engagement party? Don’t you know what you are doing?”
Kelly was left dumbfounded due to the slap.
She knew that the Dawson family was not to be trifled with, so she quickly lowered her head and started to explain, “No, Ms. Dawson, I can explain. You have all been deceived by this woman!”
“Do you think the members of the Dawson family are all as stupid as those of the Kaufinan family? If you dare to slander my sister–in–law again, I won’t let you go! Do you hear me?”
With a slight raise of her hand, the security guards immediately dragged Kelly away.
Carley turned to look at Grace, took out her phone with tearful eyes, and showed her fan rating.
“Alyssa! I’m not just your loyal fan! I’ve always hoped to see you as my brother’s girlfriend!”
Alyssa suddenly recalled that variety show from a few years back. Amidst the clamor of people trying to pair her with Antonio, there was only one person who, under great pressure, defied the masses. That person had

spent a fortune sending her countless messages, suggesting her not marrying Antonio.
What an astonishing coincidence.
“Don’t worry, Alyssa. I’ve hired a lawyer to draw up a prenuptial agreement. If Ethan ever wrongs you, he’ll be out on his car right away!”
Alyssa, being cherished by the Dawson family, was unaware that on the day of her engagement, someone had lingered outside the castle the entire day, just longing to catch a glimpse of her.
