Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Let Me Introduce, My Wife
So even if Emma doesn’t reveal the truth in front of everyone, the evidence is enough to prove all Owen’s wrongdoings.
But having Emma say it herself makes it more impactful.
Emma is smart; she knows there’s no way out, and it’s more dignified to say it herself than let someone else do it.
Owen clutches his palms tightly, his anger reaching its peak, unable to utter a word.
Hope says coldly, "Chairman Winton, Emma sees the situation more clearly than you do, so she chose to reveal everything."
Owen sneers, his eyes gathering even deeper hatred as he looks at them.
What else could he say?
Faced with solid evidence, all arguments are weak and powerless.
"Is this all your scheme?" Owen asks, looking at Hope.
Hope raises her brows without saying anything.
Owen nods and laughs, "The Lewis Family is lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you."
Hope smiles lightly.
Quickly, two uniformed officers step down from the car, clearly headed to Owen’s side.
The muscles on Owen’s face twitch twice violently, he sneers, "You act fast."
Wyatt’s expression is calm, "It’s not fast. You’ve been celebrating for many days. It’s time to end this."
Owen bites his back teeth tightly, his jaw muscles tense, full of anger with no outlet.
He can only glare at them, and in front of everyone’s gaze, gets taken away embarrassedly.
"It’s finally over," Aria sighs.
The last two days have been nerve-wracking for her, and she hasn’t rested well.
"Now that this is resolved, I need a good sleep."
Hope smiles, regretfully informing her, "That might not be possible for now, there’s still work to do."
Aria blinks, "What else? Isn’t it all solved?"
Aria runs through it in her mind but can’t think of anything unresolved.
The next moment, her hand is suddenly held, Aria looks down, her gaze falling on her hand, slowly moving up to the person holding her hand.
Looking into Wyatt’s eyes, Aria pauses slightly. Before she can react more, she’s already being pulled forward.
Confusion flashes in Aria’s eyes as she looks at Wyatt and then turns to Hope, "Wait, what’s going on?"
Aria’s face shows a big question mark.
The reporters haven’t left yet; seeing Wyatt ready to speak, they eagerly gather around for more interviews.
Aria seems to realize Wyatt’s intent and turns to run, but is quickly pulled back and held close.
"Why run?"
"What are you doing?"
Wyatt raises an eyebrow and smiles, tightly holding the woman’s shoulder. Aria can’t escape even a bit and stands close to him under multiple cameras.
Seeing the two acting intimately, the reporters, ever alert to news, jokingly ask, "Are you two about to have your big moment?"
Wyatt smiles arrogantly, "Let me introduce you, my wife, Aria Richardson."
Wyatt uses the term wife, not girlfriend or fiancée.
The scene erupts immediately.
So they got their marriage certificate?
When did this happen?
No prior indication at all.
"Have you already registered?"
"Of course, my wife, approved and stamped." Wyatt looks at Aria, smiling like it costs nothing.
With so many media reporters present, Wyatt’s public announcement is quite high-profile.
The previous incidents are still fresh in people’s minds, and they know about Wyatt and Aria’s journey. Everyone looks at them with blessings.
"Congratulations to Young Master Lewis and Second Young Madam Lewis."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Congratulations, Young Master Lewis..."
Aria stands by, smiling cooperatively, but actually leans over, whispers in Wyatt’s ear, "Why announce this here?"
Wyatt smiles slightly, "You don’t understand, it’s to prevent anyone else from having ideas about me. I’m quite attractive, and what if another Emma comes along? Then you’d cry too late."
Listening to Wyatt’s words, Aria almost can’t resist punching him, "Look at how self-centered you are."
Wyatt laughs indifferently, "You’re right, Madam."
Hope watches them, her face full of smiles.
"So happy?"
Waylon’s voice comes from above.
Hope looks up at him, lightly smiles, "Of course I’m happy, aren’t you happy?"
Waylon puts an arm around Hope’s slender waist, smiles, "Happy, if you’re happy, I’m happy."
Then, Waylon leans down and gives Hope a kiss on the lips.
Hope blushes instantly, quickly raises her hand to cover his lips, "There are so many people here, shame on you."
Waylon indulgently rubs Hope’s soft hair, knowing his wife’s face is thin, "Okay, we’ll kiss when we get home, let’s go."
Waylon holds Hope and walks inside.
Hope rolls her eyes to herself, annoyed by the idea of going home to kiss.
...
In the evening, the Lewis Family and Richardson Family gather together.
Aria looks at everyone watching her and Wyatt, awkwardly coughs, nervously pinching Wyatt’s waist behind his back, blinking.
What’s going on?
It’s so solemn that it makes her nervous.
Wyatt laughs, pulls her hand back, holds it in his palm, softly says, "I guess our mom is going to give an enthusiastic speech first, just listen."
Right after Wyatt speaks, Alitzel stands up, "Since we’re all here now, let’s set the wedding date for these two today; this matter must not be delayed. If Aria gets pregnant in a few days, there will be more things to consider and pay attention to. I think the sooner the wedding, the better. I’ve looked at the calendar, the sixth of next month is an auspicious day, what do you all think?"
Aria is stunned, wondering how pregnancy got brought up.
Isla happily chimes in, "We were just thinking the same thing. The wedding should happen as soon as possible; what do you two think?"
Isla looks at Wyatt and Aria, who sit well-behaved.
Aria smiles, "Mom, whatever you decide..."
Before finishing her sentence, Aria feels discomfort in her stomach and covers her mouth, rushing towards the trash can...
Suddenly, everyone present is shocked.
Alitzel and Isla immediately stand up.
Alitzel covers her mouth, excitedly asks, "Oh my, is it possible you’re expecting?"
