Chapter 690

Before Maeve could finish her sentence, the blaring sirens of Spencer Estate cut through the air. Troops from various training units quickly assembled, and an announcement echoed overhead. "Attention! Attention! Mr. Spencer is about to get married. All departments, stand by and remain alert…" Embarrassment flooded Maeve, and she instinctively covered her face. She just hoped the engagement banquet would go off without a hitch. When Maeve and Zion returned home, she received a flood of missed calls. Lyra had bombarded her with messages, and when Maeve finally managed to call back, Lyra's excitement was overflowing. "Mavy! You did it! You finally broke free from that jerk Sergio!" Maeve was taken aback. "How did you know?" She hadn't even had the chance to tell Lyra, yet the news spread alarmingly fast. "How could I not know? It's all over the country now!" Realization struck Maeve, and she rushed to turn on the TV. The screen blared with the headline, "Breaking News! The Head of the Spencer Family Is About to Get Engaged to the Heiress of the Scott Family!" Maeve's jaw dropped when she saw that the news had been running for half an hour. Kurt was announcing it to the world! "I finally get why your dad didn't want Mr. Spencer Senior to host his engagement banquet back then," she muttered. This was a disaster! Within minutes, her phone buzzed with notifications, and social media was ablaze with discussions about her engagement to Zion. "Who would've guessed the century's greatest gigolo was actually the head of the Spencer family? He's so handsome!" "I can't! This is like a real-life corporate romance!" "Mr. Brooks' engagement is already old news. Rumor has it both couples are getting engaged on the same day, with venues right next to each other." Amidst the chaos, one headline caught her eye, it wrote, "Engagements on the Same Day, With Venues Right Next to Each Other…" Maeve mumbled to herself, and her gaze darted to Zion. To her surprise, he had taken off his shirt, revealing a toned physique and an enticing V-line. She quickly averted her eyes. "What are you doing taking off your shirt in broad daylight?" Zion chuckled, "I'm just going to take a shower. Why so shy all of a sudden?" He stepped closer and lifted Maeve effortlessly into his arms. His attention was never on the gossip swirling around them but solely on her. "Today is a special day. We should celebrate," he murmured softly. As he spoke, he leaned in and gently nipped her earlobe. … Meanwhile, at Larson Group in Laventon, Liam sat with a cold expression as desperate cries echoed around him. "Mr. Larson! Please, have mercy! Mr. Larson…" Liam's gaze was fixed on the television, where news of Zion and Maeve's engagement played out. He clenched his fists, and a dangerous edge crept into his voice. "Zion, you've tricked me again."
