As the lead designer for a top-notch international jewelry brand, her achievements are certainly dazzling to most folks. But stack them next to the Sartori family's fortune, and they don't shine quite as bright. No matter how brilliant she is, without any influential backing, she's just one person.

These families, with their centuries of heritage and generations of wealth, usually marry off amongst other elite clans, forming power alliances. They care more about the influence and background behind a person.

Everyone thought Chloe might, at best, be the King of Eldridge's muse or a close confidante. But who would've guessed that at the Sartori Corporation's annual gala, they'd drop the bombshell that they were already hitched?

Chloe just kept her cool with a smile throughout. Connor had been itching to make their marriage public, and now, he finally got his chance. He even whipped out their marriage certificate from his pocket, catching Chloe off guard. She hadn't known he had it on him. They'd been in Eldridge City for almost two weeks without going back to Riverbrook. So, Connor had been carrying their marriage certificate around all this time? Right then, Connor was happily showing off the marriage certificate to the cameras, as if by accident. The live streams went wild in seconds.

No way, they're actually married! My favorite couple finally made it official. I've gotta take a day off tomorrow to celebrate.

Mr. Connor's face when he took out the marriage certificate he was barely holding it in. Is he love-struck?

Who keeps their marriage certificate in their pocket on the red carpet? Love-struck for sure.

Mr. Connor, maybe put that certificate away before all this opening and closing gets you a cold.

¡Yes, yes, we see it! You're officially upgraded, no longer just Chloe's Trophy Boy.

Trophy Boy? Did I miss some new gossip?

Wait, you didn't know Mr. Connor was supposedly Chloe's kept man?

Hold on, calling him a Trophy Boy, what's this 'Promise' business? Half-talking like that is either tomboy-ish or too prissy. Didn't you know?"

The media streams were buzzing.

Once Chloe and Connor wrapped up

be

their interview, Nora chimed in, "Thank you both, and congrats! Your marriage news will definitely be tomorrow's headline. Now, if you could pose a bit closer for the cameras, that'd be perfect for tomorrow's papers."

Chloe confidently sidled up to Connor. She was about to link arms with him, but then Connor spun around, held her face, and planted a kiss right on her lips.

Chloe was taken aback for a

moment. She hadn't expected Connor to be so bold in front of everyone. He might be carefree in private, but in public, he always kept a coot, reserved demeanor. After a deep kiss, Connor let her go.

Chloe half-playfully glared at him, "You've smudged my lipstick." Connor, catching her look, was in high spirits. He wrapped an arm around Chloe's waist, "The journalists work hard; we should give them a hand."

With that, he led Chloe into the grand hall.

Mr. Connor is serving up sweetness online, and I'm here for it!!

Honestly, even Queen Victoria probably didn't have it this good.

A match made in heaven! Perfect, unparalleled, the ultimate pairing!!

The live stream's popularity was off the charts. Meanwhile, in a sleek black Bentley that had just pulled up, sat a slender figure in a black feathered evening gown, sprawled across the seat. With a tablet in hand, they were glued to the live stream, their fingers clutching the device so tightly they'd turned a bit pale.
