Bowen’s voice wasn’t loud, but with almost everyone’s attention focused here, his words were heard clearly by all, leaving the crowd stunned.
It didn’t surprise them that Laura was left at the engagement party alone by Cameron.
Cameron, the youngest heir of the Weaver family, had always been unpredictable and followed his own whims. If it weren’t for something substantial, he wouldn’t take the
blame.
But since rumors said he had another love interest and Cameron hadn’t stepped forward to clarify, it was practically a done deal.
In their eyes, the Weaver–Wilson marriage was already a stretch for the Wilson family.
And with Laura’s awkward position in the Wilson family, given Cameron’s reckless nature, he would definitely prioritize his own love interest over everything else.
After all, Laura was so infatuated with him. Even though the engagement was delayed, with her submissive personality, she’d probably only think she wasn’t good enough.
As for the Wilson family, their power paled in comparison to the Weaver family.
And since Cameron’s mother had already said it was just a temporary delay, not a cancellation, both Laura and the Wilson family would likely take the hint to avoid embarrassment for both sides.
But what happened instead?
The very submissive Laura, who was head over heels in love with Cameron, publicly declared in front of both families that she couldn’t go through with the engagement. And Bowen actually stepped forward, saying he wanted to marry Laura.
Not only was Bowen the current head of the Weaver family, but also known as the grim reaper of Ronson.”
To think such a ruthless man would actually propose to a girl who almost became his nephew’s fiancée.
For Laura, being dumped by her crush and then getting engaged to her crush’s uncle, thus becoming her crush’s sister–in–law in one fell swoop, was indeed quite satisfying and humiliating for her ex. But given the current situation…
The dazed guests had varying expressions, but no one dared to speak out or secretly criticize Bowen for picking up his nephew’s leftovers.
After all, they had just seen how Pussall treated Laura,

They wondered if Laura really chose Bowen over Cameron today, the latter might regret his elopement today for losing both the bride and face.
“No way!”
“No!”
“I don’t agree!”
The three women’s simultaneous objections made Russell’s brows furrow even tighter.
Bowen’s gaze swept over the three of them before finally landing on Brielle, his expression half–amused, half–mocking. “Brielle, do you even have the right to object.
here?”
Just moments ago, even Nyla and Grace’s objections couldn’t outdo Brielle’s voice.
After blurting out “No way,” Brielle felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Bowen looking at her. Hearing his cold words now, she regretted being a bit too hasty. “Uncle Bowen, you misunderstood me.
She explained, her face pale, and by the time she looked up again, her eyes were already red. “I did it for your sake and for Laura’s, which is why I was so hasty just now.”
Then, she turned to Desmond and Lynn. “Dad, Mom, Laura is Cameron’s fiancée. At their engagement party, she suddenly switches fiancés and gets engaged to Uncle. Bowen… Isn’t that just ridiculous?
“With so many bigwigs of Ronson here, if this happens, how will Uncle Bowen and Laura face the world?”
Upon hearing this, both Desmond and Lynn couldn’t help but frown.
“Brielle’s right,” Nyla chimed in at that moment. “Cameron and Laura have such a good relationship. There’s no rush.

“I-“Grace was about to speak when Russell cut her off.
“Laura.” Russell glanced at Grace, giving her a warning look before turning his gaze
back to Laura.
His eyes were complicated but softer. “I already said, I respect your choice.”
“Mr. Weaver, 1-” Laura started.
But Brielle cut her off instantly, “Laura!”
