The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 442

Ben was momentarily stunned upon hearing this and said, "Ms. Turner, you're the CEO of Megan Corporation? My apologies, I should have known. How could I let you sit down here? Please, come up to the stage."

Megan pointed at Wayne and smiled, saying, "Mr. Stutton, I won't go up. But my father-in-law, Wayne, should have the right to sit on the stage, shouldn't he?"

Ben immediately laughed and replied, "Of course! Please, both of you, come up."

As he spoke, he eagerly led Wayne and Megan to the stage to take their seats.

At this moment, seven or eight more prominent figures arrived to offer their congratulations, and without a doubt, all of them were here to see Megan. This quickly made Megan the center of attention, and Wayne couldn't help but feel a great sense of pride.

The villagers in the audience were all whispering to each other, and many turned their gaze toward Nolan, who was sitting in the corner. Their eyes were filled with a mix of envy and wistfulness.

Wistfulness, not only because Nolan had managed to marry such a beautiful and capable woman, but also because they felt that Nolan was simply not worthy of her.

Just as everything seemed to be winding down, Megan smiled and stood up. "Mr. Stutton, may I say a few words?"

Ben nodded and replied, "Of course, go ahead."

Megan looked at Wayne and teasingly asked, "Wayne, do you want to tell them, or should I?"

As soon as these words were spoken, thunderous applause erupted. Everyone raised their thumbs in approval, and many people gathered around Wayne, praising him for having such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

Similarly, Melody, Niall, and Liana were also surrounded by many people flattering them and offering compliments. At this moment, Megan had brought immense glory to Wayne and his entire family. Even Nolan, sitting in a corner, found himself being praised by others.

"Nolan, you really have a wonderful wife. Why are you sitting here? You should be up on a stage with her."

"Exactly. Nolan. Not only is your wife beautiful, but she's also so graceful and capable. She's really impressive. You should cherish her well."

Nolan, however, just sat quietly and watched Megan's performance on stage with a sarcastic smirk on his lips. Many people were here just to show support and enjoy the celebration, but what Nolan planned to do today would likely spoil the mood for them all.
