Everyone knew that Patrick and Louis came with Stuart, who was a new star in the AI intelligence industry. So everyone had to give him some face.
Even though Patrick was wearing a large mask and a black baseball cap that covered his face, no one dared to say anything. Of course, it was mainly because of Patrick’s resolute temperament. His presence in the crowd exuded an invisible force that made people afraid to question him and instead unconsciously developed respect for him.
People had long noticed his presence.
They just didn’t know his identity.
Now, he was pulled up from his chair by Louis.
Everyone was shocked to find out that he was actually Patrick.
They wondered how he was able to still uphold such a powerful aura in front of these influential people.
He raised his hand, pinched the end of the hat, and took off the baseball cap.
Immediately after, he took off the huge black mask. His unadorned lips were so perfect, his high nose bridge, and his eyes as cold as ice and
deep as
as the
ocean.
Such amazing handsomeness shocked represent. They wondered how could someone be so good–looking.
Patrick was a national treasure. Basically everyone had seen Patrick’s films.
People have found that the camera only captures a part of Patrick’s handsomeness. In real life, he was so perfect that he seemed to glow.
Most importantly, people find that he had a domineering aura.
Simple tasks such as taking off his hat and mask were incredibly elegant and pleasing to the eye when he did them.
His hair wasn’t flat from wearing a hat.
On the contrary, after taking off his hat, his hair was still very stylish.
Even the lines of his forehead were so perfect, and his hairline was just right.
A person asked, “What is this kid to Patrick? How dare he make such a joke about Patrick?”
Another person said, “Patrick is now a top actor, and his career is at its peak. How could he be willing to marry Juliette?
“Besides, Mrs. Vaughn said that Juliette was fooling around with men since she was 18 years old. I’m afraid Patrick wouldn’t ever like such a woman.”
However, Patrick walked towards the wedding stage amid everyone’s discussion.

At this moment, everyone was looking at him.
The reporters who were called to report on the wedding were taking photos and videos frantically.

Of course, everyone thought that Patrick was going up to the stage to apologize to the Vaughn family and the Montgomery family for Louis’s nonsense.
Even if Patrick liked Juliette very much, people felt that he couldn’t marry her at this time. That would make him offend both the Vaughn family and the Montgomery family at the same time.
People didn’t think Patrick could afford to offend two such powerful families at the same time.
It would be equivalent to ruining his future and risking his life.
Nevertheless, the scene was still extremely quiet.
Apart from the clicking of camera shutters, the only sound was Patrick’s faint footsteps on the carpet.
Even the attention of Juliette and Finn’s families was on Patrick, and no one knew what he was going to do.
They watched as he got closer and closer.
The bodyguards around Juliette tried to stop Patrick outside their circle and prevent him from approaching Juliette.
However, Juliette raised her hand to signal them to stay where they were.
Thus, Patrick walked up to Juliette and stopped.
Juliette looked up at him.
She retaliated against Finn and let everyone know the disgusting true colors of Finn and Bianca. However, at the same time, she was slandered by her own mother.
Then, she felt that maybe it was not slanering. After all, Louis was her biological son, and she had no memory of when she was eighteen. She didn’t know what she had experienced during that year.
She wondered what Patrick thought after Polly said those things in public.
Though Patrick said he wanted to take her from her wedding before, she refused several times. He was a proud man, so Juliette felt that he definitely wouldn’t take her away today.
She even felt that he had come up to apologize for what Louis had said.
Juliette realized that she actually cared about Patrick’s opinion.
Of course, she was also prepared for Patrick to explain for Louis, and she was also prepared that he would not take her away. Her plan for revenge against Finn and Bianca did not include Patrick and Louis.
Louis’s safety was very important to Juliette.
Her matter with the Montgomery family was not over yet, and she didn’t want Louis to be involved.
However, Patrick actually knelt down on one knee in front of her.

His slender, pale hand held a red velvet box. He opened it to reveal a blue diamond.
When the camera focused on the diamond ring, the room gasped in unison.
This was no ordinary diamond. It was the famed “Fantasy Moon, a gem sold at auction many years ago for 42 million dollars.
It was a rare blue diamond, weighing 12 carats.
He looked at Juliette with a sincere expression as he held out the diamond ring
He said, “This was my mother’s wedding ring, which she left to me before she passed away. She made me promise to give it only to my future wife. It represents her approval and my unwavering commitment to you. So, Juliette, will you marry me?”
Patrick’s voice was soft yet resonant, firm and steady, unhurried and clear,
Each word was imbued with unshakeable certainty, devoid of any hesitation.
Although he was the one kneeling, he exuded an air of immense confidence and compelling strength.
It was this confidence and strength that made his proposal all the more sincere and precious.
A hush fell over the crowd, followed by an uproar.
No one expected him to propose, not even Juliette.
The fact that he was holding a 12–carat diamond that was an heirloom from his mother spoke volumes about his sincerity and determination.
Only then did everyone notice that Patrick was dressed in a well–tailored dark suit with a tie. The suit was clearly haute couture and worth millions.
It was as if he had been waiting a long time for this day to come.
