Chapter 420 Ryleigh Is Alone
The ceremony was about to begin. Why hadn’t Murray come yet?
Ryleigh frowned slightly. She felt a little upset, but soon she suppressed her uneasy feelings.
Ray came to save me today. He definitely won’t lie to me.
“Ms. Sofia. Ms. Sofia?”
Ryleigh came back to her senses when a low voice urged her. She had no choice but to turn around
and walk to the side of the stage with a girl next to her.
As she walked over, she inadvertently turned her head and saw a person in the crowd.
It was Sebastian.
Ryleigh’s heart skipped a beat as she unconsciously clenched her fists.
It is the engagement ceremony between me and Murray today. Although I have followed Sebastian’s
orders to get close to Murray, I have made great efforts. Sebastian appears here at this time. Will he
ruin my engagement?
Ryleigh stared at Sebastian for a few seconds. However, Sebastian did not seem to notice her at all.
He had been talking to others. He looked completely different from when he ordered Ryleigh.
Sebastian turned around and smiled when he saw her. Ryleigh quickly turned her face away and
continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Sebastian is only here to participate in the ceremony. Nothing will
happen…
Ryleigh comforted herself and adjusted her state of mind so that she could relax.
After she got engaged to Murray, Ryleigh would be Murray’s wife. At that time, Sebastian would not be
able to do anything to her. As long as she could control Murray, and then let Murray deal with
Sebastian, then Ryleigh would not be controlled by Sebastian.
Ryleigh was about to be free.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Good evening, everyone. I am the host for tonight. First of all, welcome to Mr. Gibson and Ms. Sofia’s
engagement ceremony. We all know that they have to go through many hardships to be with each
other…”
After the host gave an official speech, the guests in the hall applauded, with smiles on their faces.
However, no one knew what they were thinking.
Melissa sat on the sofa and took a sip of water from time to time. She slightly turned her head to look at
the clock on the wall.
It was 6:40 pm. There were still 20 minutes left.
20 minutes was the time to drive to the Janning Hotel.
It was time to go.
In the Gibson Group.
“Mr. Gibson, are you really not going to go over now?”
Murray sat in front of his desk, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, looking as if he had nothing to
worry about. Then he sounded a questioning voice.

Murray raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his fingertips casually tapping on the table. “It’s too
early yet. When Melissa arrives, I will be able to arrive there on time.”
“I see.”
After the assistant left, Murray closed the web page and looked at the dim street lights outside the
window.
The show was about to start.
It was 6:55 pm
“Next, let’s invite one of the protagonists today, Ms. Sofia!”
The host finally finished the crosstalk. He leaned to the side and raised his hand to signal Ryleigh to go
on stage. Ryleigh showed a delicate smile and slowly walked to the stage. Then she waved to the
guests,
“Hello, everyone, I am Ryleigh. I am very happy that you could come to the engagement ceremony
between Murray and me. I know that many of you are working partners of Murray and are still very
unfamiliar with me. However, I believe that Murray will be very happy to know that you could come.
“The ceremony is not perfect. Please be forgiving if there are any inconveniences. Murray is still busy
with some things in the company and will be here soon. Please wait patiently.”
When Ryleigh said these words, she was not full of confidence. After all, the matters of the Gibson
Corporation seemed to have increased to a certain extent.
However, Ryleigh believed in Murray that he would not leave her here alone.
When the guests below the stage heard what Ryleigh said, they were more or less doubtful. However,
Ryleigh did not
care.
“Ms. Sofia, it is the engagement ceremony between you and Mr. Gibson today. Mr. Gibson didn’t attend
as promised. Will you be angry?”
In the face of the reporter’s question, many people looked like they were watching a show. After all,
they felt that Ryleigh was just a bar singer and was not compatible with Murray.
Ryleigh was stunned for a moment, but she reacted in an instant. She shook her head and smiled
gently.
“Murray has his business. He works hard to live a better life with me in the future. As his fiancée, how
can I blame him?”
The reporter who had just put up with the question was silent for a moment. He could not help but nod
and resentfully retract his microphone.
Sebastian stood in the crowd and looked at Ryleigh with a mocking smile.
Murray had yet to arrive at this time. To everyone present, this was already the biggest joke. Sebastian
didn’t know how Ryleigh was able to persist.
At seven o’clock, the engagement ceremony started on time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyleigh stood alone on the stage. From time to time, she would ask the people waiting next to her if
Murray had come. However, she only got negative answers. Even after she called Murray more than
ten times, Murray did not answer her calls.
Ryleigh began to get nervous and unconsciously clasped her hands together.
The guests on the floor below the stage began to whisper. In their opinion, it was already time for the
ceremony to
begin. No matter how busy Murray was at work, he could not be late.
“Ms. Sofia, is the engagement ceremony still going to start?”
The host, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the serious situation and could not help but
become upset. He walked over to Ryleigh and whispered.
Ryleigh glanced at the host. At this moment, she was extremely agitated, but she had no choice but to
suppress her emotions. She only said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
However, before she could panic, one of the guests asked, “When is Mr. Gibson coming?”
“That’s right. Mr. Gibson didn’t even attend such a big event as the engagement ceremony. Does he
not want to get
married?”
The audience soon became a mess. Ryleigh was very nervous, but she knew that she could not be
timid at this time.
Without a choice, she could only say, “Murray just called me. He said that there was an urgent situation
in the
company. He will be here soon. I hope you can wait a little longer.”
The chaos gradually subsided. Ryleigh had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of
high heels stepping on the ground at the entrance of the hall.
Ryleigh unconsciously looked up, only to find that Melissa had appeared at the door.
