After Taegan spoke, no one dared to bring up what happened earlier, which meant that Quin and Fade were free from the awkwardness.
Instead, everyone shifted their focus onto what would happen next.
What was happening next was the officiation of the joint-marriage between the Zhou family and the Tao family - that was, the engagement ceremony of Soren and Eudora.
Soren' s parents, Holden and Samantha, had already prepared everything required for the ceremony, such as the ring, the tokens and so on. They stood by the hall as they awaited the arrival of Eudora and her parents.
With the announcement of the emcee, Eudora and her parents walked in together.
Both parties walked towards one another with a smile. With the emcee's slightly exaggerated voice as the background sound, Soren and Eudora were about to exchange their rings and keepsakes to officiate their engagement.
However, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing that, especially the members of the Zhou family as their expressions changed dramatically. Considering how it was an honor for them to have a joint- marriage with the Tao family, they were frightened that there would be obstacles standing in the way of their joint-marriage.
Holden and Samantha quickly winked at their son as a hint, leading Soren to ask with a smile, "Eudora, is there something you wish to bring up?"
She nodded and said, "Something needs to be settled before we confirm our engagement."
"What is it?" He asked.
She instantly turned around and looked in the direction of Fade and Quin. With a resentful expression, she spoke, "We need to solve the issue of these two people before we continue with our engagement."
"Them!" Soren's face darkened as soon as he looked at the both of them.
The faces of the Zhou family members also darkened.
The surrounding guests were all trying to inquire about the identities of Fade and Quin in a low voice. They were curious about what was going on.
"Do you have something to settle with them?" Soren asked Eudora.
She nodded and said, "Of course. They laid their hands on me yesterday. If this issue is not settled today, I’ m afraid I can' t proceed with our engagement."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and began to talk about it.
"Who are those two people? They even dared to hit Miss Tao."
"They must be courting death!"
"Old Master Zhou seemed to be treating them quite well. Please don't tell me that they are relatives of the Zhou family!"
"Wow, it's going to be interesting if the relatives of the Zhou family have a fight with the Tao family."
In the midst of the gossip, the Zhou family members' faces darkened even more, especially Holden and Samantha. In fact, they wished to give Fade and Quin a good beating right then.
Eudora, with a proud expression of revenge, glared at Fade and Quin. Her gaze was particularly cold as she looked at Quin.
On the surface, she claimed that she wanted to settle the fact that Fade hit her the day before. However, secretly, she was more worried about Quin, considering how she could deal with him another time.
She could simply gather a few experts to work on the matter after the engagement ceremony.
However, the relationship between Quin and Soren seemed unclear and ambiguous to her, which concerned her. The fact that Quin looked extremely beautiful deepened her suspicions that there was something going on between the both of them.
In order to prevent such a situation from happening at all, Eudora deliberately pulled this stunt as a means to ensure that Soren and Quin would break up publicly, which would prevent them from getting together in the future.
