Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife
Chapter 137 His Engagement Ring

Zoey sharply looked around the crowd and her gaze fell on a woman.

"We should replace a woman as a substitute."

James looked where Zoey was staring. When he saw that woman, he sneered.

"Grandma, do you think my marriage, compared with family fame, is just a joke?"

Words failed Zoey.

She also did not want to do this kind of thing, but today, she didn't want the Hemming family to be a laughingstock!

Emily also saw that woman, whose name was Jenny Bullock, the daughter of the Bullock family. Jenny had a crush on James since she was young, and she was a national celebrity.

"James, it's for the good of the family! Ms. Jenny is nice and she is the daughter of the Bullock family. If you marry her, her family will benefit you."

Emily married a man she didn't love for the sake of the SA Group, so she wanted James to know how it felt!

James sneered.

He ignored Emily, only coldly staring at Zoey with his brown eyes.

Rory, who was standing at the side, could not remain silent. He was always fearless and dared to say what he wanted.

"Madam Hemming, James is not a kitten or a puppy. He doesn't like Ms. Jenny, so he can't marry her. What's more, he is the president of the SA Group and your grandson. You can't ruin his happiness for the family fame."

Zoey didn't know what to say with a pale face. She did not dare to look James in the eye.

"Rory, it's none of your business," Emily warned with displeasure.

Rory smirked and said, "Emily, now that you want to see James suffer, I can't watch and stand by."

He knew Emily was a little insane after her divorce. She didn't want the others to have a happy marriage.

"Rory, how dare you..." Emily was flushed with fury.

Rory said with a wide smile, "Sorry, my family hasn't urged me to get married. I don't want to get married now, so you needn't worry about me. Emily, don't be annoyed all day. No man will like this. You should smile more."

Hearing this, Will almost laughed out, so he raised a glass of wine to his lips.

If there was a quarrel competition, Rory must be the champion.

Zoey got what Rory implied, but she was still hesitant.

"James, you..."

"Grandma, I'll cancel the engagement." James noticed the anticipation in her eyes, so his eyes turned cold. Suddenly, the engagement music sounded, and two huge posters were pulled up on both sides of the stage.

In the left poster, James held a woman as they looked at each other, and in the right poster, he was kissing her.

The woman in both posters didn't show her full face and looked mysterious.

However, those who were familiar with James knew very well that the woman in James's arms was Kara. Footsteps were coming outside.

Then, the door of the hall was pushed open, and Nolan walked in with a woman in a white dress.

James got nervous when he turned to look at them.

The delicate girl had exquisite makeup on her fine features. With orange-red lips, she looked very attractive.

She was wearing an elegant dress. Her short hair was combed back, and there was a pink diamond hairpin near her ear, which was selected by James. He would marry nobody but her. He loved her very much.

She didn't want to be compelled, so James asked Nolan to be a lobbyist and ask her whether she could be engaged to James.

James had two plans. If she agreed, it would be a shortcut that he would be engaged to her right now. If she refused, he would spend more time going after her. When she was a little older, he would propose to her once again.

Looking at the woman who was slowly walking towards him, he realized that she also loved him and didn't want him to have a hard time.

He grinned and was over the moon. Then, he turned to look at Zoey.

"Grandma, my bride is here."

He ran to Kara and took her little hand.

"Kara, I'm very happy that you can come."

Kara was stunned as she watched him run over and hold her hand. She got a warm feeling in her heart.

But thinking that all of this was his plan, she was a little helpless. She had no choice but to cooperate with him.

Feeling her nervousness, James gently pressed against her palm with his thumb, handed a bunch of camellias that Nolan had prepared, and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. I am here."

When the others saw this, they all applauded and congratulated James and Kara.

Under the gaze of the others, James and Kara slowly walked to the stage. Kara had exquisite features but didn't look like a hot girl. Thus, many young ladies were jealous.

Emily was also very surprised. She did not expect that James would take Kara here. Moreover, he had prepared so many posters, which implied that he had been ready for this.

Emily clenched her fists angrily and stared at Kara resentfully.

She thought Kara was a huge mistake!

"It seems James has been in love with that woman for a long time. Why didn't he tell us? We've always worried about him. What a bad guy!" Rory whined, but his happy eyes revealed his blessings for James and Kara.

Although Will was not a participant in this plan, he shook his head and chuckled after thinking about the whole thing.

"Once upon a time, a plum tree was next to a peach tree. Seeing that the pests bite the root of the peach tree, the plum tree was so worried that it even withered faster than the peach tree."

"What does the story mean, Will?" Rory blinked in confusion.

"It means that you need extensive reading." Will rolled his eyes with a shrug.

"Will, do you know we are best friends?" Rory was furious.

"Kara's body is too weak. James was worried that she would be injured, so he didn't want to marry Kara so early. However, Madam Hemming kept exerting pressure on him, so he did what the story said and used Kathleen as an excuse."

"Obviously, James's gamble pays off. Kathleen has been taken away."

Hearing this, Rory was a little sympathetic to James, who even suffered from his engagement.

Seeing that the woman walking over was Kara, Eli, who was sitting in the crowd, suddenly stood up and stared at her in disbelief.

Why did she become his cousin's fiancée?

He took a step forward and wanted to rush to her, but Will stopped him.

"Eli, if you rush up, what will the others think of Kara? They will think she is a shameless vixen who fools both you and James."

"No! But..." Eli didn't want to embarrass Kara.

However, he could not accept that Kara would become his cousin's wife!

"Anyhow, for her good, you'd better just sit here!" Will persuaded.

Words failed Eli.

He let go of Will's arm and stared at James and Kara on the stage with a pale face.

James held Kara and did what the host said until it was time to exchange rings.

The host enthusiastically asked them to exchange rings, but Kara stared at James blankly.

"Are you going to exchange rings?"

James winked at her, stepped closer to her, and removed the necklace on her neck.

"What's the matter?"

She stared at the necklace in his hand, wondering what he was going to do.

"This is the engagement ring. It is also your birthday present."
