Chapter 977

Chapter 977

"Back off! I'll kill him if you don't.”

As Paul was held hostage, Jamie and the rest of the group had scruples, so they had no choice butto make way for the pair.

Gale abducted Paul to a lawn with an open view and high terrain, and the guests could only watchin silence.

The police, who were waiting to arrest Gale, surrounded the hill, along with the guests. All of themwere trying to persuade Gale to plead guilty.

"Mr. Myres, let's talk. We can work it out. Don't burn your bridges.”

"Gale Myres, you can't continue like this. Surrender now and you can avoid a death sentence.”"Gale, today is supposed to be a good day. Don't do anything you might regret.!

Their voices became indistinguishable as many people were speaking at once.

Gale kept looking down at his watch. Not only did he ignore their advice, he even yelled at them infrustration. "Shut up! You think of nothing but your interests. I have seen right through you. Youwant me arrested so you can take credit for it and get on Napoleon's good side, right? Do you thinkI'm your stepping stone to climbing the social ladder? Dream on!"Flattering the superiors andexploiting the inferiors was a phenomenon in high society, and Gale was accustomed to it. Thus, hecould tell what the others had in mind.

He wouldn't give them the chance to humiliate him.

His words managed to shut most people up and put the atmosphere in a stalemate.

Watching the cornered man, Narissa recalled their old times together and felt a pang of pain in herheart. "Gale, you can stop this right now. It's not too late to plead guilty. As long as you realize yourmistakes, I'll get you the best lawyer. He'll try his best to minimize your sentence.”

However, her words fell on deaf ears as Gale shook his head. "I won't stop. You're free to be acanary and willingly get kept in the cage, but you can't force me to change. I'm an eagle! I deserveto explore my ambitions in the vast sky. But now, I haven't made it to the top and made my name inthe world. Right now, nobody has the right to judge me."

At that moment, a roar approached them. All of them looked up at the sky and saw a helicopterclosing in, which eventually hovered over Gale.

Overjoyed to see it, he shouted triumphantly at the crowd, "See that? My helper has arrived. It canonly mean one thing—I'm too young to be trapped behind bars.”

Soon, the helicopter descended and hovered two feet off the ground. The cabin door slid open andthe contact poked his head out before waving at Gale. "Mr. Myres, over here!"

Using Paul as his shield, Gale dragged him in the direction of the helicopter.

As expected, when the police noticed his attempt to run away, they drew out their guns and rushedforward.

Gale took the knife from his companion and pulled it down Paul's arm without hesitation. "Onemore step and I'll kill him right now."

His words gave the police pause as those who rushed forward a while ago retreated to their originalspots.

The moment they put their guns down, Gale shoved Paul to the ground before turning around andjumping into the cabin.

The change in situation alerted the police and they immediately fired shots to stop him. However,the bullets only hit the cabin due to the distance between them, and the door slid closed beforetheir eyes. Then, the helicopter quickly ascended into the air, underlining Gale's escape.

In the end, the operation was a failure. The police had no choice but to send Paul to the hospitaland record the Cubers' statements before they left for the time being.

All the drama finally came to a close.

However, the guests were still scattered around the manor.

They didn't stay to discuss Gale. Instead, they were curious about the relationship between theCuber Family and the man in the poster, whose name was Jamie.

Also, the purpose of the engagement party piqued their curiosity. Was it a setup to capture Gale, orwas it an introduction to the new family member?

When the audience was having a heated discussion, Napoleon and his wife walked up to the stage.He then explained the situation himself.

"Almost everyone here is a business associate of mine. As you all know, one has to abide by the lawto keep the longevity of the business. A person deserves punishment when he breaks the law, andthis will protect others’ rights and interests. Gale has to suffer the consequences of his doings andit's nobody's fault but his. I hope everyone can treat what happened a moment ago as a littleincident and not talk about it in the future ever again. You're all here today because I have animportant announcement, which is that my daughter found the love of her life. They're entering intomarriage today and will promise to live out their years together. Everyone, please welcome mydaughter Narissa Cuber, and her fiancé, Jamie Keller to the stage. Now, it's time to hand over thestage to the bride and groom.”

Love and marriage would always be timeless topics people enjoyed. At that moment, the guestsforgot about the danger that happened earlier. Instead, they applauded and cheered for the pair.Jamie and Narissa walked onstage with everyone's eyes on them. Hand in hand, they bowed inevery direction to show their gratitude to the guests.

As expected, some of the guests were cheering for something else. "What are you waiting for? Kissher!"

Jamie had done it a hundred times. Thus, he unhesitatingly cupped Narissa's face and pressed a kisson her lips.

The crowd was looking at a handsome man and a beautiful woman in their elegant outfits. The sightof the couple kissing each other was greatly appreciated by the guests since it was heartwarmingand sweet.

Elise was standing among the guests. She was sincerely happy for her best friend to replace love.However, a faint pang of envy was bothering her too.

She and Alexander were each other's first love, but she never experienced a wedding or somethingsimilar as her friend did. It became the only thing she regretted in their relationship.

Meanwhile, Alexander seemingly read her mind. His long arms reached out and pulled her into hisembrace. "I promise you an engagement party and a wedding. We'll settle for nothing less. Both willbe grander and more magnificent than Narissa's.”

Elise raised her gaze to gaze at him before wrapping her arms around him without a word.

On stage, Napoleon watched in gladness and satisfaction as Narissa leaned against Jamie lovingly.As happiness bloomed inside his heart, he decided to give away his company.

"I hereby announce that Jamie will take the position of acting president of Napoleon InternationalTrade Co. one week later. He will represent me in fully managing the company's affairs."

This meant that Jamie would have full control over the Cuber Family's business in the future.

Just like that, Napoleon gave out his entire assets as a wedding gift, indicating he was satisfied withJamie as his son-in-law.

It was a huge contrast to his attitude two days ago.

After Jamie took Irvin's medicine, he was asleep for three whole days. Once he woke up, he went tosee Napoleon with Narissa in tow and asked the man for his daughter's hand.

At first, Napoleon disapproved of it. He wasn't satisfied with the Keller Family either. However, whenhe learned Jamie was one of Elise’s friends, he immediately changed his mind and approved of themarriage.

He said, "If Elise was the one who wanted to marry you, I won't even hesitate and will immediatelyhold a wedding for you, let alone her friend.”

Elise was indeed a charming woman. In Napoleon and Narissa's opinions, she was more dependablethan most men.

After Napoleon gave them his blessing, Jamie was immediately surrounded by the guests when hewalked off the stage. Everyone was trying to make his acquaintance.

Narissa was shouldered out by the crowd. Watching the crowd overwhelming Jamie with theirpresence, she walked away to seek Elise out without even bothering to give Jamie a hand.

As soon as she joined Elise, her father caught up with her and dragged Alexander aside for a drink."Come here, buddy. We didn't get to drink all we wanted last time. Let's get drunk today!"

Narissa couldn't suppress her surprise. "What did my father just call him?"

Seeing her father acknowledging her best friend's husband as a friend, a question occurred to herand she questioned, "What should I call you, then? Mrs. Griffith?"

It brought Elise up a rank.

Elise couldn't stop laughing at that. "Just keep it the same.”
