She was dressed in a figure-hugging white gown that accentuated her slender and elegant figure. Her exquisite makeup, gentle and dignified expression, along with her conservative yet unique gown, all exuded a subtle and gentle beauty.
Her face wore a modest smile, her back straight, and her demeanor approachable.
Having grown up as a lady in the Alonso family and often participating in social events, Wendy easily carried herself with grace and propriety.
"Is that the lady of the Alonso family?"
"So beautiful."
"Exactly, the daughter raised by a big family like this, her demeanor is really extraordinary."
"Be it her demeanor, looks, or family background, there's nothing to pick! Being together with the heir of the Harper Group is a match made in heaven!"
People were gathered at the foot of the staircase, watching Wendy, and praising her without reservation. After all, she was the future lady of the Harper family, and complimenting her couldn't possibly go wrong.
And what Wendy wanted was exactly this kind of atmosphere. See, everyone thinks it was natural for her to be together with Damon.
She had the ability to be the future lady of the Harper family. She was not incapable of standing by Damon's side! In fact, wasn’t she the most qualified woman to stand by his side?
As Wendy and Grace descended the final step, people flocked around them.
"Congratulations, Ms. Alonso."
Wendy responded to them with a smile. "Thank you."
"You've kept this secret well, only announcing it when you're about to be engaged."
"There were just too many people the Alonso and Harper families needed to invite, so we chose to keep a low profile during our engagement and save the big celebration for the wedding day."
"That makes sense! But why are you out first? Where's your fiancé? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Hearing this question, Wendy slightly tightened her grip, and Grace gently patted her, then she managed to lift the corners of her mouth again.
"He had to leave on urgent business a few days ago, but he should be here soon if all goes well." She spoke softly, coupled with her subtly forced smile, projecting a sense of helplessness that was pitiful.
"I see. But this is such an important day... Well, it's normal for men to be busy."
Wendy nodded, appearing to be very understanding. "Yes, he's managing the Harper family all by himself, so it's understandable that he's busy."
"You're kind, considerate, beautiful, and intelligent. The president is really lucky to have you. Congratulations to both of you!"
"Thank you."
Wendy thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by people who were complimenting her, especially now that she was also the future Mrs. Harper, which made her feel exceptionally superior.
Outside Chloe's dressing room in the resting area, Kane and his group were sitting on the sofa, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
"Where's that old man? I need to talk to him. What the hell is he thinking? What era is this, and he's still blocking the love of the younger generation?"
Kane was seething, finally unable to restrain himself, and jumped up from the sofa. He looked like he wanted to do more than just talk, like he needed a fight to vent his anger.
