Chapter 308

Exchange Rings But Lucia felt depressed as if a stone was pressing against her heart,
having difficulty breathing.

Such a scene made her uncomfortable.

August and Jeanne walked around the venue and then returned to the front.

Soon, the engagement ceremony began.

When the guests were taking their seats, Lucia also sat down in a corner.

According to the process sheet, August and Jeanne would give a speech and then exchange
engagement rings.

And their parents would give them blessings in the end.

Staring at the man on the stage and listening to him talk about what had happened between him and
Jeanne, Lucia felt the dull pain in her heart become stronger.

She thought she shouldn't have come here because it was torturous for her to watch them together.

Soon, it was Jeanne's turn to speak.

She took over the microphone, glanced at the man beside her, smiled, and said with sweetness in her
eyes, "Everyone, thank you very much for making time out of your busy schedules to attend our
engagement ceremony.

I guess you should all know that we are childhood sweethearts.

We have known each other since childhood, and he has accompanied me for most of my life..."



She talked about the things from their childhood to the present with red eyes, and when she expressed
her love for August, her voice was choked up with emotions.

After she finished speaking, everyone in the audience clapped, and the atmosphere was warm.

Lucia took a deep breath and bowed her head in frustration, feeling jealous.

Suddenly, someone sat next to her.

Before she could raise her head, she heard a familiar male voice say, "Hi, Lucia."

When she looked up and saw Paul, she asked, "Paul, why are you here?"

Paul looked as gentle as usual and said softly, "Il came here because I received the invitation."

Lucia nodded, tried her best to force a smile, and said, "They have invited all the important people in
Austos City to the engagement ceremony.

I should not have felt surprised to see you here."

Paul smiled, "Actually, I didn't want to come."

When he had first received the invitation, he had wanted to refuse.

But when he had thought that she might come, he had decided to push his luck.

Unexpectedly, he really met her here.

Lucia smiled bitterly, "Me either."

The two looked at each other and smiled, so the atmosphere became much lighter than just now.

On the stage, August and Jeanne had already moved on to the next section.



A waiter walked up to the stage with an exquisite tray on which there were the engagement rings.

Later, August and Jeanne would put on the rings for each other.

The camera aimed at the rings on the tray and the picture was projected on the big screen so that all
the guests under the stage could see them.

Seeing the diamonds, many people exclaimed.

The diamonds on the rings were blue diamonds, which were dazzling, noble, and expensive.

Moreover, such rings must be booked in advance because the production period was exceedingly long,
which showed that August valued Jeanne very much.

After listening to the whispers of the guests around her, Lucia got to know the value and significance of
the engagement rings.

She raised her eyes and saw them sweetly exchanging rings on the stage, feeling even more
depressed.

When Paul turned his head, he saw her sad face.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Lucia, if you don't want to stay here, we can leave early
together."

Lucia understood his thoughtfulness, so she smiled at him and said softly, "I'm fine.

We can leave later."

The ceremony hadn't ended yet.

If she left now, August and Jeanne might misunderstand.



Paul nodded and stayed by her side in silence without saying anything more.

Soon, the ceremony ended.

When the music was played, the atmosphere in the hall became a lot more lively.

August took Jeanne off the stage, chatted with the guests, and posed for photographs.

And the waiters began to change the food on the tables, replacing the cold buffet with various
delicacies.

Paul turned his head to look at Lucia and thoughtfully asked, "Lucia, what would you like to drink? I'll
get it for you."

Lucia smiled, "Orange juice, please."

"Okay, I will be back soon."

After Paul got up and walked away, Lucia looked around the bustling hall in her seat, feeling like an
outsider who couldn't fit in.

She sighed, took out her phone, and swiped it.

Looking at the time, she began to think about when it would be more appropriate for her to leave.

Suddenly, a pair of leather shoes entered her vision.

She thought it was Paul, but when she looked up, she saw an unfamiliar man.

The man had slicked-back hair and was wearing a blue suit.

He grinned to his ears and asked, "Miss, are you alone?"



Lucia had no interest in him, so she replied casually, "No."

Hearing this, the man laughed, sat down next to her unceremoniously, leaned over, and said with a
smile, "You look familiar, but I can't remember where we've met before.

Can you give me your phone number? We can have dinner together when you have time."

"No need."

Lucia moved away from him and said solemnly, "My friend will be back soon."

Her attitude was noticeably clear, but he turned a deaf ear to her words, leaned toward her, and said, "I
just want to invite you to dinner.

It is fate that makes us meet here.

Why don't you just give me your number?"

Lucia frowned and said word by word, "I'm sorry, but I must go to meet my friend now."

While speaking, she stood up, intending to walk away.

But the man did not give up.

He also stood up and even stretched out to grab her hand.

When his sticky hand touched her, Lucia had goosebumps all over her body.

So, she threw his hand away in a conditioned reflex, took a step back, looked at him sternly, and said,
"Sir, I don't even know you.

Please show some respect!"



Hearing her stern words, the man instantly showed a gloomy face, stared at her, and snorted, "Who do
you think you are? Hundreds of women in Austos City want to have dinner with me.

Are you playing hard to get?"

Seeing his gross true color, Lucia frowned in disgust.

When she was thinking about how to get rid of him, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Paul naturally stretched out to wrap his arm around her shoulders, glared at the man, and said coldly,
"What's the matter with you?"

After the man glanced at Paul and recognized him, his aura suddenly weakened.

He glanced at them coldly, turned around, and walked away without saying anything.

Paul immediately looked down at Lucia and asked worriedly, "Lucia, are you alright?"

Lucia shook her head, relaxed her tensed-up body, and replied, "I'm fine."

Paul released her, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "I'm sorry, I
should have come back earlier."

Lucia shook her head with a smile, took the handkerchief over, and said softly, "You're so sweet.

Thank you."

Hearing this, Paul looked at her affectionately and said, "As long as you need me, I can accompany
you all the time."

It was his honor to protect her.
