Chapter 217
In the banquet hall.
Kylie and Gideon headed straight for the main entrance.
Kylie had to admit that her ankle had just been casually twisted by Ethan. Although it was a little painful at that time, it was much better now.
Therefore, she could walk with the wind.
Gideon teased, “I didn’t expect Miss Stafford to be so obedient.”
He was saying that she would listen to Ethan.
She wasn’t obedient.
However, since she had decided to leave, there was no need to delay.
The two of them were halfway there.
“Mr. Garner.” A man suddenly walked out from the side. He was respectful to Gideon.
Gideon’s eyes narrowed.
“Mr. Garner is looking for you. He wants you to go over for a while.”
At this moment, he was naturally talking about Timothy.
Gideon glanced at Kylie.
Kylie said bluntly, “I can walk by myself. Please arrange a driver for me. I’ll go straight to the airport.”
Gideon hesitated for a moment. “Okay.”
In the face of rights and interests, he would not hesitate.
Kylie also understood.
They were just ordinary business partners to begin with.
It was not to the point of talking about feelings.
“I’ll get
“Okay.”
the driver to pick you up at the door,” Gideon said. “Be careful on the road.”
Gideon made a call and left with the man.
Kylie did not stop. She walked straight to the entrance of the banquet hall.
She had just walked out.

“I’m sorry, but before the banquet is over, no one is allowed to leave.” The guard at the door stopped Kylie.
Kylie’s eyes narrowed.
She had never heard of such a rule at any banquet!
No matter how powerful they were, the Garner family folks were too domineering.
“Miss, please go back. When you can leave, I’ll naturally let you leave.”
“Why?” Kylie could not help but ask.
“There’s a lot of information in the banquet hall that’s not allowed to be exposed in advance, so all the guests can’t leave early,” the guard replied very formally.
Kylie did not know if what he said was true.
She just knew she couldn’t leave now.
She could only wait for Gideon to finish his thing.
Kylie turned around and returned to the hall.
The charity auction was still going on in the hall.
Kylie stood in a relatively hidden corner and sent WhatsApp to Gideon. “The guards at the door won’t let me leave early.”
Ten minutes after it was sent out, Gideon replied, “Give me a moment.”
“Okay.”
Kylie stood in the corner and waited for Gideon as if nothing had happened.
She was also watching everyone bid in boredom.
Now it was a ruby ring.
The host introduced a lot of medieval aristocratic relics. They were rare in the world and were extremely
valuable.
As soon as the auction started.
Some people were competing to bid.
“600 thousand dollars.” A man raised his card.
“640 thousand dollars.”
“700 thousand dollars.”

“One million dollars.”
“1.2 million dollars.”
“1.24 million dollars.”
The bidding did not stop. There was even a bit of excitement for this ring.
Kylie was actually not very interested in these things.
Previously, she had bid for a gemstone necklace because her mother had once said that she liked it. She had coincidentally bought it back.
After the necklace was bought, it had been placed in the cabinet and had never been taken out to wear.
“1.6 million dollars!”
A familiar voice sounded from the crowd.
Kylie did not look in that direction.
Ethan was considered half a master tonight. How could he not bid with high price?
“2 million dollars.” Someone else raised the bid.
“2.4 million dollars.”
“2.6 million dollars.”
“3 million dollars.” Ethan raised his card.
Everyone could tell that Ethan was determined to win.
There were whispers in the crowd.
They wanted it, but they felt that they definitely could not win.
Since they couldn’t win, raising the price was a deliberate attempt to make enemies.
The people here were all cunning. At this point, no one called out any more bids.
“3 million dollars, going once!”
“3 million dollars, going twice!”
“3 million dollars, the third time! Sold!” The host said excitedly. “Please come on stage, Mr. Hayden, and take your charity item away.”
Ethan walked forward and took it from the host..
He turned around and was about to leave.
“Mr. Hayden, please wait,” the host called out to him. “I heard that Mr. Hayden has prepared a surprise for

Stella tonight.”
Ethan looked at Stella below the stage.
Stella’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
Kylie smiled.
It should be announcing the wedding date, right?
‘s welcome Stella to come on stage. The host did not get a response from Ethan and quickly invited Stella up.
Even if he had never interacted with Ethan before, the host knew that Ethan was not easy to control.
Moreover, Stella had already informed him in private.
Of course, he had to play it by ear.
Stella walked up to Ethan with a smile. “Ethan, I’m looking forward to it.”
That’s right, she didn’t give Ethan a chance to go back on his word..
In front of so many people, in the territory of the Garner family people.

She was certain that Ethan would not really have no scruples.
But even so.
Ethan still did not move.
There was some awkwardness at the scene. Everyone looked at them and started discussing.
Stella could not hold on any longer.
Her eyes reddened. “Ethan?”
It was reminding him that he was in front of so many people.
Even if it was just for show, he should continue.
Ethan regained his senses.
He seemed to have just come back to his senses.
He turned to look at Stella and took out the ruby ring.
So, he was going to propose on the spot?
Everyone was attracted.
“Stella…” Ethan called her name.
Chapter 217
His voice was very low.
It was magnetic.
Stella’s eyes were already red.
She looked like she was touched.
“… Ethan opened his mouth and was silent again.
“Im willing.” Stella pounced into Ethan’s arms and hugged his neck tightly. It was very intimate. “We’ve been together for so many years since we were young. It’s not as difficult as everyone thinks. We’ve experienced a lot between us. Fortunately, we’re still by each other’s side. You don’t have to say anything or owe me anything. Everything else is not important to be with you.”
Stella was really good at finding an excuse for herself.
Ethan’s long-suffering proposal was accepted by Stella. It was because he owed her something that he did not have the courage to say it out loud. Therefore, she took the initiative to tell him that she did not care about their past. She only wanted their future.
There was a round of applause.
Pink petals drifted down from the ceiling.

This romance was played to the extreme.
After the two of them hugged each other affectionately.
Ethan put the ring on Stella’s ring finger and announced their wedding date to everyone. “On February 14th, Stella and I will get married. We welcome everyone present.”
As soon as he finished speaking, cheers sounded.
The
atmosphere was joyous and harmonious.
“In the end, you still see the scene of his proposal.”
Gideon walked up to Kylie and blocked her view.
