Tom's voice was loud and clear, making everyone at the banquet widen their eyes in disbelief.
Joseph's daughter felt she must have heard him wrong.
Victoria was stunned and felt that something was very wrong with the way things were unfolding.
How could this be?
She looked at "Keera" in shock. How could Lewis possibly take an interest in such a discarded and defeated woman just because she was the legitimate daughter?
She clenched her fists tightly, refusing to believe everything that was happening before her eyes.
After a moment of silence, the surrounding crowd burst into activity again.
Those who had been encircling Victoria now rushed toward "Keera", their faces adorned with flattering smiles.
"Miss Keera, congratulations!"
"Mr. Horton values you so much that he specifically came to make a betrothal during your family reunion banquet. You're so fortunate!"
"Congratulations!"
"..."
