Chapter 167 Rejection.
On the other hand, the blonde maid could not hold her tongue and said, “Yes. Tonight, Mr. Fox will slide the ring
representing eternity onto your finger, so wear something special. Also, as of today, Miss Alice will officially become
a jewelry designer.”
After hearing that, Monica’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm. Is this what Edward referred to when he said he would lend
a hand?
“The ring you’re endorsing is also expected to fetch a high price at auction, and Mr. Edward intends to compensate
you generously for this, the maid continued.
Suddenly, Monica felt like she was floating on cloud nine.
“Come on, Miss Keller. Quickly decide on an outfit so that we can apply your makeup. Many notable people,
including A-list celebrities, will attend tonight’s banquet. Therefore, it is essential that your hairstyle and outfit
complement each other perfectly. Besides Miss Alice, you will be the brightest star of the evening.”
“Very well. I’ll get to it right away.” Monica had not felt this happy in a long time.

filled with the faint aroma of tea, where Edward greeted Stanley warmly upon his arrival. While the two
businessmen were inside talking, the bodyguards diligently stood by the door.
Edward was impeccably dressed and sat in his custom-made wheelchair that cost seven million with a blue throw
blanket draped over his legs. Despite being in his fifties, he appeared much younger. Then, he placed an intricate
purple box on the coffee table and said, “Take a look at this, Mr. Fox.”
Stanley picked it up and opened it with a flick of his slim fingers, revealing a ring that shimmered and sparkled with
a unique glow. The moment he laid eyes on it, he found it to be exquisite. The diamond inlays are so distinctive that
they form a beautiful heart shape; I do not doubt that any woman would find it irresistible.
“What do you think?” Edward asked eagerly. “My daughter designed it herxo.com fast updateself.”
When Stanley heard this, he was surprised to learn that an eighteen-year-old was the designer. After that, he
carefully removed the ring from the box and examined it. Ten tiny diamonds encircled the larger diamond,
reminding him of hands tenderly cradling a treasured possession, just as a groom would do for his most cherished
bride, which was exquisite and not at all gaudy. While this concept is somewhat stereotypical, it will be very popular
among women. “Is this the one and only ring?” he asked.
“Currently, yes.” There was a proud smile on Edward’s face, and he added. “This will be her first official design. She
plans to set up a brand specializing in custom wedding rings. Every man who walks through her door can only buy
one ring in his entire lifetime, as this will be bound to their identification documents.”
“That’s not a bad idea, and her designs are quite appealing.” Stanley concluded. “Dreams are important to the
younger generation. As her father, you should support her.”
Edward was happy to hear that. “Can you help her film an advertisement? It’ll be tonight,” he said, laying out his
plan. “While all the reporters are watching, put this ring on Monica tonight in a romantic wedding. proposal.
Everyone will think you’re the perfect couple. After all, you’re both talented and gorgeous individuals. Of course, I
know that you’re married. Still, this is just an advertisement. It’s only an act. We just need the masses to buy into
it.”
“I’m fine with being the brand ambassador,” Stanley replied, picking up the porcelain cup to sip the tea.
“Thank you!” Edward exclaimed happily.
Stanley then placed the cup down and calmly stared at Edward. “However, I do not want to cause any

“Mrs. Fox will surely understand that it is just an advertisement.” Edward was a very open-minded man. “You even
have kids, so your relationship must be stable enough to withstand this. His years living abroad had evidently
twisted his perception of society in his homeland.
“It is not because of her, Stanley elaborated. “I am the one who does not want that to happen. She has nothing to
do with that decision.”
Suddenly, Edward’s smile went stiff as he silently stared at Stanley.
“As I’ve said. I’m fine with endorsing the ring and assisting in filming an advertisement,” Stanley continued with a
gentle tone. It cannot happen now, and definitely not tonight. I’ll bring my wife along to the next meeting. Then,
we’ll shoot the advertisement when, where, and how you want it to be.”
Edward was at a loss for words. After hearing what Stanley said, any further attempts to persuade him to go along
with the plan would make Edward appear unscrupulous.
After that, Stanley smiled as sincerity shimmered in his eyes, and he continued, “I love her, so I must reject all
rumors and scandals for her sake. I hope you can understand that.”
It was an absolute shock for Edward to hear that Stanley, a man who kept such a distance from other women that
no rumors were ever circulated about him, would actually be so devoted.
