Chapter 227 Engagement Ceremony Ruined
“I wanted to tell you, girl, that I would only have one engagement ceremony in my lifetime. I also only wanted to walk down the red carpet with one woman.”
“Mr. Lopez, can we not talk about this?” Isabelle’s heart raced. She was afraid of straining their relationship.
Fortunately, David quickly let go of her. He sighed helplessly and said, “You are too guarded in matters of the heart. It seems impossible to impress you with sweet talk. So, I will have to win you over with actions. Luckily, I will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Take your time to consider me, a high–quality man.”
Isabelle was speechless and laughed, the atmosphere was lightened by his words.
She thought for a moment and then asked, “Is everything okay with the Lopez Group these days? And how about you? Is there anything unusual happening around you? Arrange more security for tomorrow’s engagement ceremony.”
He squinted and pondered, asking, “What are you worried about?”
Isabelle just thought about that day at the bridal shop, the harsh words Warren threatened her with. She still felt a bit uneasy.
“It’s nothing. Just be careful, that’s all.”
“I know what you’re afraid of, and I’m not one to be taken lightly either. The Lopez Group is powerful in Donsborough. My company and I have not broken any laws. Even if someone wants to cause trouble, they will have to come up with a reason,” David said calmly.

Isabelle breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but yawn. “It’s getting late. You should go back.”
He was very satisfied with this title, he held her small hand and said, “I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning, my dear fiancée.”
There were bodyguards arranged by him guarding the entrance, and Isabelle closed the door with a sense of security.
However, tonight was destined to be sleepless. She barely closed her eyes until dawn…
David arranged the engagement ceremony at the Hilton hotel near his villa.
He didn’t want her to rush around.
Alice arrived early, but Glenda suddenly called her, “Bella, I found the girl from Dracfort Hospital! I have to go there. I’ll come later to attend your engagement party.”
This is really good news. She must have found the truth about Amy’s kidney donation surgery on this girl.
Isabelle remained calm and followed David into the hotel banquet hall.
The engagement ceremony was arranged in a low–key manner. Due to the Lopez Group, only a few media outlets were invited. Some shareholders sat at the lower seats.
The Lopez family had an important task, with Chandler and Monica, divided into two columns.
“This is already the most simplified ceremony. I know you don’t want to make a fuss, but the necessary promotion still needs to be done properly,” David explained gently

Isabelle knew that he had been under a lot of pressure from Chandler
and Monica.
She had light makeup. She smiled slightly and willingly linked her arm with his. “Pleasure working with you, David.”
“It was a delightful engagement, my girl,” he said, his eyes sparkling as he looked deeply into hers, revealing his cheerful mood today.
The soothing music played. Isabelle walked hand in hand with him down the red carpet. She and David were going to make a toast together.
Step by step, they were nearing the end.
She smiled on her face, while her heart was quietly weeping. She was really sad after all.
The last image of Warren flashed through her mind. He was noble and mature, with a stern demeanor. The things he had done for her and the things he had hurt her with when he cherished her. It was time to say goodbye to everything at this moment.
She would have a new chapter in her life. Alice was right. Perhaps she could really break free from the torment of love.
Isabelle no longer had him. She had to get used to it.
The emcee handed the wine glass to Isabelle, startling her and causing her to look up. It was her first time meeting Chandler. He looked very imposing.
David chuckled beside him, “If you’re too embarrassed to call him dad, just call him Mr. Lopez.”

commanded the emcee in a deep voice, “Turn off the big screen!”
The emcee was shouted at and quickly went to unplug the power.
The large screen, however, was tampered with and did not respond as commanded. Even shutting down the internet was of no use. Following the photos, a hospital report was presented on a piece of
paper.
Above was written “Prenatal Amniotic Fluid Paternity Test” in big letters.
The patient was Isabelle, and the paternity test confirmed a father–son relationship between Warren and the fetus.
Chandler was stunned for a moment and suddenly slammed the table. He looked at Isabelle and David. “What on earth is going on?!”
Isabelle’s face turned incredibly pale as she looked at the identification card, almost unable to stand steady.
David supported her, his warm face sinking to the bottom of the valley. He had taken every precaution, investigating every staff member in the hotel, yet he still overlooked one thing. The hotel’s screens were invaded by hacker technology and could not be shut down.
To his surprise, Warren was able to produce such embarrassing photos!
“Father, listen to me…”
“Are you two treating us like clowns? Who exactly is this woman? Is this child really yours?!” Chandler trembled with anger.
“Hmph.” A young voice sneered from below.
David turned his head and saw Adam.

Adam’s father and David were in competition for inheritance. However, Adam was not capable, so the Lopez Group’s power remained in David’s hands.
Adam couldn’t just sit still at this moment. He sarcastically said, “Grandpa, don’t you all know? This Ms. Spencer is Warren’s ex–wife. David has been burying her news. You elders never ask about the truth. It’s difficult to understand what really happened.”
“Looking at the date on the photo, Ms. Spencer was still rolling in bed with her ex–husband the week before!”
“She was pregnant with her ex–husband’s child and entangled with him. At the same time, she was involved in a scandalous video with David. I don’t know what kind of spell she cast, but it made David willingly accept this child as his own. However, he just let you all have a false sense of happiness. You have also been humiliated!”
“Shut up, Adam,” David’s voice turned cold.
The scene became chaotic. The Lopez family’s relatives had heard about Isabelle before. However, due to David’s influence, no one dared to say a word against the old man.
Now, voices of discussion and criticism towards Isabelle arose.
Chandler saw the media below filming and stood up anxiously. He stared at Isabelle and David with a look of utter disappointment. Suddenly, he clutched his heart and collapsed to the ground!
“Father?!” David’s face suddenly turne
