Chapter 448 Declaration

• “Uncle Munoz,” Nathan said calmly, approaching Mike with Natalia at his side. “I received a call from my grandfather today. His health isn’t good, and he wants to formalize my engagement to Victoria as soon as possible. Now that Amanda’s wedding is over, everyone should have the time. When would it be convenient for you to discuss it?”
• The banquet was in full swing. Mike had been chatting with old acquaintances, but Nathan’s blunt interruption sent them drifting away, tactfully giving the three some space.
• Though irritated by Nathan’s domineering tone, Mike kept his composure. “Of course. Your engagement was inevitable. Under normal circumstances, I would visit Gillian Island personally, but my position is… sensitive. With the current situation in Country A, even major family events don’t justify leaving the country. If your grandfather wishes to proceed, he may send a representative.”
