His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 214

A smile reappeared on Yvette's face. She held Russell's arm and reassured him, “Don't worry, Dad. After today, the Bakers will definitely reconsider the engagement. I've had everything planned out. Besides, the Bakers haven't made known the cancellation of the engagement, which means to say that they are still hesitating. Hence, we need to make my birthday party exceptionally grand. Dad, you must make an opening speech.”

With much patience, the bodyguard explained, “No matter who you are, you shouldn't wear—”

Just then, a woman's voice interrupted his words.

“Miss!”
