Chapter 98: Engaged
"It brings me great pleasure to introduce Arabelle, not only as my Goddaughter but also as the future daughter-in-law of our family, and the future of our hearts and home—the Frosts!"
A collective buzz of excitement rippled through the room as the significance of the announcement sunk in. The crowd exchanged glances, speculation running wild.
Someone commented incredulously, "What is this? Demon Frost has been parading his woman all evening and suddenly he is going to turn around and get engaged to Arabelle?"
"Oh please, this is the world of the mighty Frosts. Do you think he is marrying Arabelle for love?

Consider this an announcement of a partnership between these two large groups of companies."
"Where is that mistress? I need to see her face? She must be so shocked. She’d been trying to steal the spotlight from Arabelle on her birthday, now that vicious girl will not be able to do anything."
"This is some soap opera material right here."
"Well, it is. Because I have heard that Demon Frost is actually married to the girl. I have a friend who works in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he told me he’d seen Demon Frost bring someone in a few months ago..."
"I always thought these fancy high society parties were dull. But this is like a reality show in designer attire."
